 Look as Fish Arrive

SELDOVIA, July 13-The McIvers cannery crew reached Seldovia on the last Redondo and work has been started on repairing the old Northwest ern cannery, to transform it into a Saltery for herring for the approach ing season.
 The Year Round cannery is getting on an average from four thousand to five thousand reds every other day. All of the fish come from Kamishak.
 Ed Meredith, who has been operat- ing hand cannery at English bay, has closed down for the season. He re- ports having packed little better than 1,600 cases.
 The herring boat New England was in port few days ago with cargo. of more than 100000 pounds of fish.
 Fred O'Neill and associates have completed the work of placing their 200 ton scow in commission and to tow it to Halibut cove.
 Mrs. R. V. Anderson, wife of the Seldovia commissioner, and her mother have returned home from a visit of two weeks at Ninilchik.
 Mrs. Finnegan and son are recent arrivals from the States. Mrs. Finni- gan is the new postmaster.

FIRES RACING ALONG
 ALASKA RAILROAD
 ALSO NEAR HOPE

Forest fires are raging along the Alaska railroad between Seward and Anchorage according to E. F. lessen, manager of the Wilson-Jessen Syndi- cate, who arrived in Seward last even- ing. The mountains are afire for many miles, and with fair wind are spread ing rapidly.
 Several men left Seward for Bird the fore part of the week where fire is burning briskly. Ranger Brady was southbound passenger from Anchor age for that point on yesterdays train and will have crew of men under him there.
 From Rainbow passengers were able to see the fires on the Hope side of Turnagain Arm, and from appearances they are perilously close to the old mining town. The fires seem to cover large area in the Hope-Sunrise dis trict.
 At Mckinley Park forest fires are burning briskly, started from sparks from work train two weeks ago and according to reports are seriously threatening the buildings at the Nat ional Park. All the hills to the south of Riley creek are .aflame as is also the country between the railroad and the Nenana river. A large amount of ex- plosives stored at that place are be- ing removed to a place of safety.
 According to MT. lessen rain was not encountered until the train reach ed Mile 52, on the railroad, Anchorage having warm, dry weather.

FISHERMAN WHO
 SHELTERED MARTIN
 BELIEVED DROWNED
OWNER OF MOLLER BAY CABIN Is MISSING-BOAT FOUND
 ADRIFT

A mystery that has an indirect con- nection with the narrowing experienc- es of Major Frederick Martin, United States army world flyer, on the Alas ka Peninsula is reported by Captain w. B. Knight of the steamship Cath erine D., cannery vessel for the Pacif- ic American Fisheries. Captain Knight states that "Gum Boots" Johnson, the owner of the cabin on the southern shores of Moller Bay, where the maj or and his staff of mechanics, Alvah L. Harvey, remained for two days, is missing and it is believed he was drowned. His fishing boat was found adrift in the bay and it is conjectured that he was lost while fishing. Johnson had been away from his cabin about a day when the aviators staggered into it and feasted on pancakes and salmon bellies between maps.
 Captain Knight says that the Vest ward will not have a big salmon year for reds, but that there will be plenty of pinks. The run is now on.

OPERATION RESTORES
 SIGHT TO KLONDIK FER

Hugh Noble, who went Outside over the trail in January to consult an eye specialist is back in Dawson and has regained his sight. When he left Daw- son he was practically blind and had to have assistance all the way outside. On reaching Vancouver he consulted Dr. Mackenzie, who was in Dawson a short while last summer. Dr. Macken- zie found an overgrowth on the pupil of the eye, which he removed and Hughie's sight is restored. He was in the hospital only fourteen days, be- ing kept in dark room most of the time.
 This was MT. Noble's first trip out side since coming to the Yukon in '98, and he was astounded at the changes which had taken place in the coastal cities.

AL JONES SEAPLANE
 WILL NOT BE REBUILT

The seaplane of Al Jones which fell into the water at Anchorage last week and which drifted away with teh tide, causing quite a stir in the railroad city as to it's whereabouts, was found a few days ago on the beach about mile from where it fell.
 Aviator Jones has taken the engine out of the ship and is now having it overhauled. He does not anticipate having the plane rebuilt.
 According to Jones a few days be- fore the accident occurred, it was his intention to fly over to Seward from Anchorage and make this city his headquarters. He had intended to fly commercially at this point and it may be possible that he may purchase an- other plane and go ahead with his ori- ginal plan.

REPORT ON CORONA POST OFFICE ROBBERY
 IS MADE PUBLIC
INSPECTOR .PINKHAM SWORE OUT WARRANT FOR ARREST
 OF SCHEFFLER

In the case of the United States vs. c. H. Scheffler, former postmaster at Cordova, the following evidence was produced which caused his arrest:
 The Cordova postoffice was robbed of S6,144.66 on the night of June 16th, and s. T. Pinkham and J. E. Fitzger- aid were ordered to Cordova to work out the case.
 The evidence introduced at the hear ing showed that after banking hours on the evening of the 16th of June, Charles Scheffler drew out $2,977.77 and put it in the safe; this was Postal Savings funds. There was also more than $3,6O0.O0 of postal money in the safe at the time.
 That night the money was taken. Three of the doors of the Post Office were found unlocked the next morn ing but there was no marks or lndl- cation of breakage. The safe, which is large burglar-proof one, was open ed in the regular way by working the combinations of which there are two, one on the outer doors and one on the inner steel burglar proof strong box. The evidence showed that Scheffler was the only one who had the combi- nation to the inner steel chest where the money was kept. This was testi- fled to at the hearing and was not contradicted. Of course there were many more details these things being some of the most significant brought out at the hearing. The evidence also showed that several hundred dollars in various sized bills, including sack containing gold and silver coin, was scattered around the postoffice floor.
 The bolt was taken out of the rear door and laid on a table thirty feet away. The spring lock to another door was caught back and the door held by small prop. The peg that held one of.the window slides shut was removed and laid to one side. All this was shown by the transcript of the hearing.

New Trail Be Built by
 Forestry Service at Five

Work is progressing rapidly on the new trail bein gbuilt by the Forestry Service tapping the Lost Lake coun- try, short ways from Seward.
 The trail starts from the gravel pit at Mile Five, and about a quarter of a mile has been completed in the three days already spent on it. When com pleted, the trail will be about eleven miles in length, crossing Lost River about seven miles from the start of the trail, and then following up the far side of the river. The new enter prise opens up valuable country, al- lowing the taking of pack horses in to it, hitherto impossible. The. region around Lost lake is one of the best game districts on the peninsula.

BEING BUILT AT
 CURRY WILL ENABLE
 TOURISTS CLIMB HILLS

Work is progressing steadily on the suspension bridge at Curry, according to late arrivals from that delightful section of the railroad belt The bridge in question, which is to span the Susitna river, will be a suspension affair, slung from long cables which are now being put in place. The job of putting in these cables is a difficult one, owing to the swift waters of the Susitna, but the work is being rushed with all possible speed in order that the bridge may be available before the tourist travel slackens.
 The bridge will enable visitors at the railroad hotel at Curry to cross to the high mountains opposite the ho- tel, from the top of which an excellent view of Mt. Mckinley may be obtain ed. There is also good hunting close to the hotel and many streams which afford excellent fishing.
 Notwithstanding the fact that trains do not stop over night at Curry, number of visitors from the States have tarried at the hotel during the present season. And many more will stop there, it is confidently be- lieved, when it is known that the near by mountains on the opposite shore of the Susitna, have been made access sible.
 The management of the Alaska Railroad has recently prepared some folders descriptive of the Curry hotel and the district surrounding it, with a view to interesting tourists in the resort.

NUKA BAY CLAIMS SHOW UP GOOD
(Anchorage Times)

Dr. John H. Metallic, prominent dentist of Anchorage, returned last Wednesday from months stay at Nuka Bay, the scene of much recent prospecting. According to Dr. Nc Callie this district is one of the best for prospectors because the terrain is full of stringers ranging from six inches to three feet in width and full of free gold.
 Of the men and companies already on the field, Dr. Metallic states that Burman, with three claims, has traced his main vein of three feet in width, for over distance of 1000 feet, and this vein is exceedingly rich. It is be- Heved that these claims will develop into the biggest and most permanent strike of the district.
 The Hills Mining company, a combi- nation of railroad employees, has driv- en in a tunnel for distance of sixty feet and although has encountered sev- eral small pockets of rich ore, has not struck their main vein. Their second tunnel ,or shaft, twelve feet deep, has encountered a two foot vein that is seemingly very rich and permanent.
 Otis Harrington has encountered a four foot vein on his claim but as yet has not done enough development work to determine the extent of the discov- cry. It is said that Robert Hatch on East arm has very good prospects. F. Lorraine, owner of six claims, has a fifty foot iron dyke on his property. Assays have not been made of the ore in this dyke to determine it's quality, but lorraine has also a quartz stringer about fifty feet from and parallel to the iron dyke that pans out very rich.
 Dr. Metallic says that Jim Foster, who was employed by him, has staked out seven claims and although the ex- tent of their value has not been de- termined, the ore pans out high. Dr. Metallic brought back several sam ples of ore with him for assay. Dr. Metallic further states that the vii cinity around Nuka Bay appears to be rich and a haven for prospectors. Dr. Metallic plans to go up to Ohio creek sometime next week to look over some property at that place in which he is interested.
