CARBIDE LAMP CAUSES
 EXPLOSION ON GAS BOAT: HURLED THROUGH CABIN

An explosion that resulted in the complete loss by fire of the 37-foot gasboat Bold I, and the narrow es- cape of the owner, H. H. Griswold, took place at g o'clock Sunday eve ming, Nov. 30, at Smugglers' Cove, says the Ketchikan Tribune. The loss is estimated at $3,000 and the boat was uninsured.
 MT. Griswold had gone out to Smugglers Cove to look over some mining claims belonging to Martin Bugge. He beached his boat, but when the tide went out it turned over. so as soon as he could float it Griswold decided to anchor in a better place.
 There was a little water in the back hatch and taking a carbide lamp instead of the flashlight he usually used he went down to dip it out.
 At once there was a terrific ex- plosion that almost hurled him through the top of the cabin. He leaped into his row boat that was alongside and escaped with some very bad burns about the face.
 The boat contained all his tools, guns, clothes and some cash, and conservative estimate places the loss at s3,000. Griswold feels that he is lucky to have escaped with lis life

YAKUTAT EDITOR DOES A BIT OF SHUTTING AMONG M00NSHINERS

Several reports of moonshine and other booze being distributed among the natives have reached the Week ly. The editor of the Weekly took the field to make investigations and the following is the result. The ed- itor states that there has been some moonshine made outside the village but that most of the moonshine has been purchased from the negro walters on the passenger boats that call here The editor further states that there have been considerable quantities of extracts of different kinds sold to the natives at three dollars a bottle. The natives who returned from Juneau on the last boat were reported to have brought with them considerable moonshine. This we found correct, but it is you natives who are consuming the bulk of this moon and extracts. We would suggest that you present your complaints to the U. S. com missioner and give him the true dope on conditions. The Weekly has made the investigations at your request, but we are not in position to proceed any further.-Yakutat Weekly.
