GLADYS FOUND BOTTOM
 SIDE UP N CHANNEL
sailboat on Which Juneau Barber Started to Seattle Is Found
 Waterlogged

The 20 foot sailboat Gladys, in which Wenzel Leonhara. barber left 5astineau Channel Friday morning for Seattle. was found bot tom side up drifting toward the Channel near Marmion Island. this morning by Jack Higgins. There was no sign of the skiff which it was said Leonhard had in tow of the sailboat.
 Higgins. who lives near Stink Creek, on Admiralty Island, was coming 10 Juneau in his gasbeat when he saw the sailboat Bill Douglas who was passing near the scene at the time in his boat, the Molly T., went to Higgins assistance and they lowed tke sailboat to Mar mion Island but were unable to turn it over on account of it being heav- fly water logged They came to Ju- neau and reported the finding of the boat to the D. S. Commission CTS office.
 Mir Douglas is returning to Mar mion Island this afternoon and will right the sailboat. it being thought possible Leenhard's body may be in it.
 Another version is that whatever disaster overlook his vessel he may have escaped in the skiff. Should the body not be found in the boat Douglas will search along the shore at the end of the Channel on the chance that Leonhard may have put in somewhere. No searching party will be sent out until Douglas re- ports, Judge Y. A. Paine, Commits sioner said.
 Leonhard left Juneau Friday spending the night on the beach be- tween Nevada Creek ad Anderson s ranch and put out Saturday fore noon for the south. He expected to make eight miles an hour with an average wind on his trip to Se- attle.-Juneau Empire.

MOUNT PAVLOFF CRACKED
 ALL THE WAY FROM TIP
 OF CRATER TO THE BASE

Mount Payloff on the Alaska Pe- ninsula which exploded three years ago Christmas Eve, is apparently cracked all the way from the tip of the crater right down to the base of the peak, according to Alex Bolam, guide and big game hunter, who re- turned with a party to Seward re- gently. The party had their base camp on the Boring Sea side near the base of Pavlof Mountain. The crater is visible from this side, but not from the Pacific side, as the crater proper is on the side of the peak close to the top. Vast col umns of smoke and steam rise from the crater lip. Extending clear down the slope to the tableland be- low, a high blackened ridge runs. At intervals along this ridge seven or eight vents were discernible, the last of which was on the flats at the base of the mountain. Smoke and steam were constantly emitted Guide Bolam is inclined to believe that the mountain is cracked all the way down. but it may be possi- ble, he said, that a tunnel of lava has formed in one of the canyons from which smoke and fumes are released from vents flowing from the crest. Just below the crater there is a large portion of the which appears to be crum- bling in.

IKE s0WERBY SUFFERS
 FROM ACCIDENTAL SHOT

By some unaccountable manner a .45 caliber Colts revolver which was in holster swung from the neck of Ike sowerby was discharged while he was with a party of berrypick- CTS on Admiralty Island last Sun day, the bullet blowing in a down. ward direction through about six inches of the fieshy part of his right leg above the knee. He was brought to Juneau, arriving here about 6:30 in the evening, which was six hours after the accident oc- cured. pr. DeYighne dressed the wound and MT. sowerby was taken to his home where he is recovering nicely and striving to figure why revolver on safety" should dis charge while the carrier was en- gagged in the gentle pursuit of pick ing berries.-Stroller' Weekly.

SOME OBSERVATIONS
 REGARDING RETREAT
 OF ALASKAN GLACIERS

During the month of August, 1886. Professor c. Frederick Wright with two companions and two In dian assistants eamped just below the Muir glacier and observed it's motions for @ days. This party was the first to make a prolonged visit to the spot.
 The Muir glacier at that time presented q precipitous ice front at the waters edge q mile and half wide, and from 250 to 400 feet high, while the water in the inlet immediately below was TOO feet deep, so that the ice front from the bottom of the inlet to the top of the glacier was fully 1.000 feet thick The ice front did not, how ever, extend in a direct line across the inlet but was shaped like the letter "V' with the apex down ward.
 Masses of ice of greater or less extent were almost continually fall ing off into the water with a boom ing sound like that of a cannon.
 Recent measurements show that the movement of the glacier is more rapid than had been suspected, for the ice in the middle of the glacier near the front was moving at a rate of 72 feet day.
 Professor Wright also collected evidence which was amply confirm ed by subsequent visitors. to show that the ice front Of Muir glacier had retreated twenty or twenty five miles within a comparatively short period, and that probably when YaneouYers party visited the region nearly the whole of Glacier bay into which Muir inlet empties was occupied by glacier ice. It was also evident that there had not been time since the ice retreated for the vegetation to get a firm hold on the uncovered area.
 Photographs taken a few years later showed that the front was at that time fully one mile farther up. In less than twenty years the re- treat had been fully five miles.
 The cause of the diminution was doubtless due to local and tempor- ary climate changes especially those affecting the snow fall.
 Observations in other parts of AL aska bear similar witness to the re- treat of Alaskan glaeiers.-Anehor- age Times.

VALUE OF MINERAL OUTPUT
 ALASKA SHOWS INCREASE

Mines in Alaska produced $18,- 220,692 worth of minerals in 1925, as against $17457939 worth in 1924, according to an announcement made at the Interior Department through the Geological Survey. The total value of the mineral output of the Territory since 1880 is $553, 304,968.
 In spite of the gradual exhaust ion of the richer gold-placer depos it's, the gold output in 1925 was greater than in 1924, just as the output of 1924 was greater than that of 1923, according to the fig ures of the Geological Survey.
 Placer mines produced less gold in 1925 than in 1924, but this de- crease was more than made up by the increased production of the gold lodes. which now yield almost as much as the placers.
 The production of placer gold from the vicinity of Fairbanks and from Seward Peninsula was reduced to some extent as a result of nego- tiations and preparation for more active future work by some of the principal operators. Extensive prep aration for future mining is being made at Fairbanks and will not be completed for at least two years. As a result of economies and improvements in mining in these two regions, it seems probable that the production of placer gold will be stabilized if not increased. It is of interest to note that the production from dredges in 1925 was greater than in 1924.
 Increase in the value of the min eral output of Alaska in 1925, as in 1924, resulted largely from the increase in the value of copper and took place in spite of the fact that less copper was produced in 1925 than in 1924.

The defending team then had to

the ball was touched down.
The greatest team l ever played

team of 1900. | do not know whether
Yale men consider this their best
team or not. but it certainly was the
strongest Yale eleven / ever have
seen. with the possible exception of
the Yale team of '23. Gordon Browns
team had a terrific attack and was
the first Yale team to use the famous
tackle back play. This attack made
Yale unbeatable, with one or two eX-
ceptions, for the next few years.

about 3 yards behind the line Of

hind the tackle. with one halfback
on either side. The end. on what is
called the short side, came in next
to the guard and took the tackles
place. The quarterback could give
the ball to the tackle or any back.
When the tackle got the ball. the
three backs would get behind him
and push. All the tackle was eX-
pected to do was to keep his feet.
When he hit the line most of the
bother members of the Yale team
would grab hold of him. The tackle
was so big and strong that he did
not seem to nina how many took
hold of him. This was the first time
the famous Yale push-and pull play
was used.

The hardest tackling teams l ever

TEN GRID CLASHES

Browns Iron Men Lucky to

ROVIDENCE, r. L.. November
IL 30.-A ten-game foot ball
schedule is too much, even
L for iron men.
I'VE were lucky to tie Col
gate" said "Tuss" McLaughry, who
coached Browns undefeated foot
ball team, at dinner to the team
last night.
I'VE tied that game on nerve.
Harvard was our limit. ten-game
schedule like ours brings the best
team to the cracking point.
Nerve strain was responsible for
the tie. A team cannot retain It's
stamina but just so long. After
Harvard we played on nerve.
Brown was tied by Colgate after
beating Yale, Dartmouth, Harvard
and six other teams.
They have asked me how l was
able to play II men so hard and
long" McLaughry said. 1T was a
matter of luck, nothing else. We
were we'll conditioned and had few
in INJURIES. The team that carries the
fight never gets hurt. The team en-
ioyed playing. and for that reason,
too. injuries were few
McLaughry declared he didn't like
to have his team called iron men,"
They weren't IRON he asserted.
They got the name because they
played several games without sub
stitutions.

MY 25 YEARS ON THE CRIDIRON-HL
BY WILLIAM ". ROPER.
Head Coach. Princeton University.

PLAYED end rush on the Prince
ton team for three years. In my
sophomore year | was not a
\ regular. but, fortunately, played
IN every game of importance.
during my college days I had the
good luck TO play against some great
teams.
The most exciting game ! ever
played in was against Yale at New
Haven in my sophomore year. Bill
Edwards was captain of the Prince
ton team and Mcbride. great left
footed punter, was the Yale leader.
The teams were very evenly matched.
We scored first. Bosey Reiter made
long run mp to Yale's 2-yard line
and we pushed il over on the next
play. Yale scored but, fortunately for
US. missed the try for goal after
touchdown.
In the second half Al Sharpe. half
hack on the Yale team. kicked the
longest goal from the field ever have
seen. He stood on the 53-yard line
and the ball had plenty Of distance to
spare as it sailed over the croSsbar.
] admit there was a slight wind a
Sharpes back. but at that it was a
wonderful kick. This goal made the
score 90. Yale had a great kicking
combination in Sharpe ana McBrlde,
p sure drop kicker and long pun
ter.
During the second half we gained
2 lot of ground. but never enough
to score. Yale always would hold in
the critical lines and get the ball on
downs Then Mcbride would tantaliZ-
ingly kick il back into our territory.
With less than three minutes before
he end of the game Yale got the ball
on its 4i-yard line. Funk. the Yale
quarterback. knew there were only
couple of minutes left to play so
elected to rush the ball instead of
kicking it. Fortunately for us,
