FIVE LIVES ARE
LOST IN STORM;
MUCH DAMAGE
Barge Sinks two Miles Off
Long Branch with Crew
of Five
OTHER BOATS DISABLED
High Winds and Driving Rain
Cause Damage, especially
Along the Shorefront

LONG BRANCH, Jan. 17:-The
barge Plymouth, with four men and
one woman aboard, went down two
miles offshore here last night, Cap
tain Wheatley, who was rescued
from the sinking barge Northern No.
8, said here today.
Captain Wheatley, Alfred Adams,
and David Moody, all of Baltimore,
Nd, were rescued from the North
ern No. by coast guardsmen when
the barge sank three quarters of a
mile off here. The captain said he
did not know the names of those
on board the Plymouth. which was
loaded with lumber consigned to a
New London, Conn, firm, where she
was owned. A third luzuher barge,
the Mobile, also loaded with lumber.
successfully rode the gale. All were
in tow If the tugboat Harold, which
left Norfolk, Va, Jan. 5, bound for
Brooklyn.
Captain Wheatley's barge, the
Northern g., came to anchor less
than a mile off shore late in the
evening. His distress signals were
seen by the coast guardsmen, who
rescued the three men with a
breeches buoy. The coast guardsmen
said today that not much difficulty
was encountered in the rescue work
The three men will leave for New
York city tomorrow. The North
ern No. S's cargo of lumber was
consigned to o. Brooklyn firm.
Captain Wheatley said the. storm
amounted to a hurricane, in the face
of which all three barges broke
loose from their towlines. A close
watch is being kept along the shore
here today for the bodies of three
men and the woman who, went down
with the barge Plymouth.
The storm was reported as terrific
here, although no wires have been
reported down, and no serious dam
age observed as yet
Coast Guard stations at Asbury
Park and vicinity today reported
that they knew of no ships being in
distress off there last night. They
said one steamer came in close to
the shore for half an hour last night
and then put out to sea again.
The Coast Guard cutter Manhat-
tan today was searching the New
Jersey coast waters for the bodies of
the five persons who went down on
The Plymouth.
The 62 nile gale which ragged until
10:30 o'clock here last night did lit
tie damage, only slight distractions
to telephone and telegraph service
being reported. 1t is pointed out that
The gale, blowing from the southeast,
did not pile up the waves in the
dangerous manner that a northeast
wind would on the New Jersey shore
here.

Passes over Matawan

MATAWAN, Jan. 17.--At 1 o'clock
this morning the Shenandoah was
sighted over this borough. The big
ship appeared to be about 500 feet
from the ground and for a time
seemed to remain stationary over the
center of the town. Although keep
ing its course, due south, the vessel
seemed to be sailing sideways and
Econtinued in this position until Lake
hurst was reached. The progress
of the ship over this borough was
slow, but when 1t passed above Free
hold and Lakewood it seemed to
have gathered speed and when it
left Lakewood was moving swiftly.
1t is believed the crew were trying
to locate where they were when this
borough was reached and for that
reason had cut down the speed of
the ship considerably. The fact that
the ship progressed in a sideway
manner is thought to be due to the
damage suffered its nose when it
broke from the mooring mast.
Many people of this borough were
on the lookout for the air giant and
when it appeared followed it in auto
mobiles as far as Lakewood. At one
time the big ship appeared to be
about TO fall and as it settled nearer
the ground voices of the crew could
be heard by those In the street. 1t
Is believed they were trying to learn
the location of the ship. The vessel
seemed to be following the highway,
which stretched out beneath the ship
like a long white ribbon from Mata-
wan to Freehold. The lights on the
ship were burning brightly as it
fioated over this borough and the
hum of the engines could be plainly
heard. 1t appeared like huge whale
as it floated about the housetops.

airship Shenandoah which broke
loose from its mooring mast at Lake.
hurst last night appeared over this
borough shortly before l o'clock
this morning. The big ship seemed
to come from the inland and circling
over Raritan Bay appeared to re-
main motionless as If the crew and
officers on board were seeking a
location. Finally fhe vessel picked
up speed and started off in the direc-
ton of Freehold. AS near as could
be ascertained by the people who
saw the ship it appeared to be fol-
lowing the highway to Freehold. A
large number of people saw the
huge airship as it passed over this
borough.

Metuchen ON watch

METUCHEN, Jan. 17:-As soon
as the first radio reports of the mis-
hap to the Shenandoah were re-
ceived in Metuchen, Chief Hutchin-
son was notified and a large number
of borough residents maintained a
watch of the sky until midnight
without hearing or. seeing the huge
dirigible. This watch was not aban-
doned> until about midnight when
the reports that the airship was over
Staten Island were received.
The report that the Shenandoah
had passed over New Brunswick
shortly after o'clock led local resi-
dents to believe it could be seen over
the borough shortly afterwards but
the dirigible apparently passed quite
a distance to the west of Metuchen.

METUCHEN. Jan. l7--Resldents

from the sky. Investigation 6is-

SOUTH AMBOY. Jan. 17.-Until
the wee hours this morning. people
in this city who had received word
over radio that the Shenandoah had
broken loose from her moorings at
Lakehurst and was drifting in the
direction of New York. a steady
watch was kept on the sky here by
people who swarmed every place
from which a glimpse of the entire
overhead surroundings could be seen
in an effort to catch sight of the
drifting dirigible on its path toward
nowhere. The airship passed over
this city about 12:45 this morning
on her way home.

GOOD ADVERTISING

That the Salmon River min ing district is a promising field for mining development, is the foremost statement on the lode m ,nlng situation in Alaska con- tained in the advance state ment of the annual report of the United States GeologicaI Survey for 1928, copies of which were released to the press by the Department of the Interior January 1. The advance statement, a digest of which is printed elsewhere in the present issue, is based on the report to the depart O. Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, Chief Alaskan Geologist, now in course of preparation.
 Although containing no de- ta- led reference to the charac- ter of the mineral deposits or ol the extent of the development work done, the statement is nevertheless a very excellent recommendation of the devel- opment possibilities of the dist rict; first because the refer ence is given the foremost position in the statement rel ative to the gold lodes of the Territory and, secondly, owing to it's containing the specific assertion that the district con- tains many promising gold and silver properties" Ref erence is also made to the notable discovery of the new mineral area in the Texas Creek section, which is referr- ed to as a western extension of the metalliferous belt ot the district containing some promising gold and silver pros poets, notably in the valley of Texas Creek"
 In spite of the absence of de- tai and the rather vague al l1sions to development possibil- ities, the statement is good ad- vertising for the district. Dr. Brooks is considered an author ity on Alaska geology and min ing conditions and his state- ments command respect and attention of all who are inter- e3ted in Alaskan mining devel- opment. His assertion that thls district contains many promis- ing properties is one that will carry much weight among mining men and can hardly fail to attract more than average attention among those who are seeking a field for mining en- deavor.

ALASKA CARNATIONS
 BLOOM IN DECEMBER

On December 6, Mrs. George Dedman picked a full bloom carnation from a plant in the rear of the Golden North Hotel. The plant was almost without protection as the door and windows were wide open. The carnation is a lovely pink. There are many plump buds on the same plant and they will probably develop into fine flowers later as Mrs. Dedman took the box with the plant in- to the house. There are still pansies in full bloom in some of the gardens in town.- Skagway Alaskan.
 Alaska has the highest noun tain-Mount Mckinley in North America. Its altitude is 20,464feet.

WHY HEAP YEAR"

A subscriber asks why Leap Year became so named.
 The answer is that the term was bestowed owing to the fact that any fixed date after Feb ruary skips or Heaps" over one day of the week and falls on the succeeding week day to the one on which it fell the pre- ceding year.
 The Yukon river has total length of nearly 5000 miles. and it is about the fifth larg- est stream in the world. It is navigable for river vessels for distance of about 2,4OO miles. Statistics show that there IS less crime per capita in Alaska than in any state in the Union.

A SURVEY NEEDED

The generally vague referen- ces to the mineral possibilities of the Salmon River district in
 he annual report of the Geo. 'ogical Survey shows clearly the need of comprehensive
 geological reconnaissance fof the district in order that those who are seeking comprehensive information regarding the min- erology may have access to au- thoritative information on the
 1ubject. The report for Ghe past year, as indicated in the preceding article, gives the Sal mon section a prominent place in it's references to Alaska lodo mining but makes no mention of the mineral characteristics or of the peculiar geological conditions obtaining here.
 Those whose interest is at tracted to the development possibilities of the district very naturally desire to know some :hng of the character of the mineral forms and the condit- lons under which they appear.
 fence an authoritative text
 book on the subject is highly desirable, and the citizens or
 1yder can perform no more beneficial service for the town and district than by making an effort to induce the Depart ment of the Interior to order
 comprehensive geological survey of the local mineral area. The Miner heretofore has called attention to the inn potance Of an authoritative statement of this character but in spite of the constantly reit- erated declaration that the dis trict needs advertising, the sug- gestion apparently failed to arouse the interest of even the most ardent clamorers for boosting the district. At least nothing has been done in
 hat direction up to the present. A moments reflection should convince the most benighted that an authoritative work on the minerology of the district would be of inestimable value as an advertising medium, in addition to being of consider able value to the prospector and miner. Why then do not some of our ardent disciples of boosting" bestir themselves to the extent of making an ef- fort to induce the Geological Survey to turn it attention in q
