ANCHORAGE, Jan 16.-The falling of what appeared to be an immense meteor between Fairbanks and Chat anika last Monday has given credi- bility to the theory that the substance may have been a part of the top of Mt. Pavlof, blown off in the recent eruption. According to reports i'm mense meteors fell along the Kusko- kwim river about the time of the eruption, frightening natives and pros pectors along a distance of hundred miles. The distorting of immense ice floes is also attributed to the effects of the eruption The steamer Starr, en route from Seldovia, was caught in the ice near Barren Island and held there for some time, circumstance which Captain George. of the steamer, who is believed to be the oldest sea faring man in Alaska, declares to have been the first time ice has ever been seen in that vicinity.
