iff Henery, received the word that
her brothers residence, Harry T..
Moores, near Bryan, had been burn
ed. 1t is believed that the fire start

the family when getting ready to
retire about ten O'Clock, heard
strange sound, and on investigation
found the roof on fire. The fire de-
partment from Bryan was called,
bringing a chemical engine, but the
blaze had spread rapidly and was
beyond control. The house had
been recently remodeled and was a
very fine large house with new fur
niture. Very little furniture or
clothing was saved from the second
story, but practically everything on
the first floor was gotten out. A
large wood house also burned.
Mr.. Moore carried small insur-
ance. His wife who was Eva Spen-
cer is a sister of Mrs. Ellen Shipley

 q wish to let you know that the schooner Liberty arrived here (Ketchikan) without, encountering any trouble at all. We made the trip in four days to the hour. Had some bad weather before we came in to Icy Straits, So the rudder you made for us had a good trial, and 1t stood up fine for the strain that naturally was put on it in the heavy sea. From now on am not going to be greatly troubled because of 3 lost rudder, as I am going to carry this one on deck as spare.
 Thanking you for the good work YOU done for us I beg to remain
 Very truly yours"

MOST MODERN PLANT
 BEIN3 INSTALLED QN

That the revival of mining in this district has arrived is plainly dis cernible with the arrival in Sew ard on the last steamer of 40 tons of hydraulic mining nlachin- cry, equipment and supplies for the Alaska Crow Greek Mining Company, 15 members of the crew and the president and gen. eral manager, J. ". Dawson, who is well known throughout the mining fraternity in the Terri tory. His brother Dick, who died some years ago, will be well re- membered by the Oldtimers as one of the finest of the best who ever hit the North.
 Seattle engineers are authority for the statement that MT. Daw- sons outfit is the most modern ever sent into the Territory. The pipeline will be about 5000 feet long; the intake 36 inches down to 14 inch working pipe and !. five or six inch nozzles. The com pany has a small sawmill for private use and there are also auto trucks and caterpillars.
 The property, 12 claims or 240 acres, lying two miles from Gird- wood, will open up about June 15 MT. Dawson thought and the outlook, as far as the cleanup is concerned, appears quite promis- ing as the pay Is said to run ex- ceptionally good.
 Oldtimers of this area say MT. Dawson has some of the best looking ground in the country and that his entry into the Gird- wood field means tremendous thing to that immediate vicinity l A number of members of Mir Dowson's crew have been with him for five years and included in them are many we'll known Alaskans. Mir. Dawson, who resides in Seattle. said that he is looking 1 forward with much pleasure to the impending visit this summer to his camp by Stephen R. Capps field expert who has been con nected with the Alaska branch of the Geological Survey for all most two-score years.
 Mir. Dawson also spoke in the highest terms of the splendid road. built by the Bureau of Pub lie Roads department, and which nasqes his claims and out to other mining points.

 STEiM5HP COMPANIES
 ARE BEING OVER-PAlD

WASHINGTON, April Is. (P- Cancellation of mail contracts granted to the Alaska Steamship Company and the Admiral Line steamship companies for carrying mail between Seattle and Alaska was demanded by Sutherland on he ground the 50 per cent in- crease carried in the new agree nent was unjustified and unau- shorized by law.
 He claimed, in telter to Post master General Brown, the con- tract gives the carriers 3 gratu- .ty of S87.150 a year without any corresponding increase for ex- oansion in service.
 Under the new contract you are paying the Alaska Steamship Company at the rate of 10 cents per pound for carrying mail rom Seattle to Seward and at the same time the American Rail- way and Express carries all ex- press and freight between these two points, or presumably between these two points, for four cents per pound; so presumably the Al aska Steamship Company receives much less than four cents per pound for actual transportation of American Railway Express freight
 He said: The normal freight rate between Seattle and Seward oy the Alaska Steamship boats IS SIS per ton but you are pay ing them in excess of $200 per ton for carrying the mails"

SOURDOUGH SUCCuMDs
 FROM TERRIAIE BURNS

Merciful consciousness shrouded A. B. Potter, who was literally burned alive yesterday morning, from the time he was taken from out his burning cabin, with his clothes ablaze, until he passed away a few hours later in D. H. w. Hyatt's hospital.
 The aged pioneer, in feeble health for years, was burned ter ribly and it was rather surprising he fingered on as long as he did From his back, head and arms, it is said. portions of black. charred flesh, fell away
 Because of the fact his cabin burned to the ground and the en- tire contents, it has been difficult to ascertain accurately whether relatives survive him, etc; it is said. however, that the aged man left the California gold fields in 1896 to join the Alaska stam- pede, to tile Hope-sunrise dis trict where he mined for some years. Ills life in Alaska was hv- ed at Knik, Hope-sunrise and in this immediate area and for many years had made Seward his home
 At one time he was a member of the Pioneers of Alaska and, it was thought, also of the Arctic Brotherhood
