the northeast OF 11-1l-l2w, has
again resumed operations after a

when work was started, were freely
splattered with mud before they
could reach a safe distance. A heavy
pocket of gas was encountered
about 1g feet from the bottom of
the hole, which blew mud for con-

A number of local oil operators
were present and remarked favor
ably about the appearance Of live

 UNDERGOING REPAIRS

Contract for repairs to the steam ship Ketchikan of the Alaska Steam ship Company, which was badly dam aged recently when she struck an ice berg in Icy Strait and was beached in Pinta Cove, Southeastern Alaska, has been awarded to the Oregon Boiler Works of Seattle Repairs to the ship will cost about $4O,000. The work will be done by the Heffernan drydock in West Seattle, and will require a month to six weeks.
 Survey of the hull of the Ketchikan showed the damage sustained when the vessel struck the iceberg was slight compared with the damage to the hull, when the ship, heavily lad ened with canned salmon, herring and copper ore, was beached.
 Fifty plates will have to be re- moved from the vessels bottom. Of these 35 will be renewed entirely while 15 plates will be placed back in the hull after they are strengthened Nearly the entire bottom of the Ket chikan was damaged when she was beached in Pinta Cove, representatives of the Oregon Boiler Works said.
