FAMOUS GOLD RUSH SHIP
 IS RETIRED FROM SERVICE
:. (Ketchikan ;ChronicIe.)

-(Ketchikan ;ChronicIe)
 Next to the old U. s. s. Oregon, "bullog" of the navy, the wooden passenger steamer Humboldt is prob ably the most famous ship afioat in the Pacific waters of the United States. This vessel has made her last voyage in the coastwise trade be- tween San Pedro. and San Francisco, and is now reported to be ready to join the Hollywood navy" says the Pilot News of San Pedro, which means that she will end her days in motion picture work. The Humboldt figured prominently in the Klondike gol drush of 1898. Later she carried thousands of miners to and from the gold fields of Alaska. Since 1897 she has been in the costwise service be-
The Kusko times., 1931-07-25

tween the two principal ports of California. In all, she has seen 35 years of constant service, without serious mishap. The veteran Captain Baughman has been her master for the past 34 years.
 Recently it was announced that the Humboldt had been tied up at San Francisco to await the outcome of motion picture contracts pending. Two film companies are now negoti- ating for her charter or purchase. If either deal is completed the vessel will again steam to Southern Cali fornia waters. Captain Baughman, after all his years on the bridge of tue ship, has reluctantly transferred his sea chest to the steamer Cello, which the Los Angeles & San Fran cisco Navigation Company has just purchased to replace the Humboldt in the eoastwise trade.
 Launched in Eureka Bay in the spring of 1896, the Humboldt son afterwards entered the run between Seattle and Alaska. She had just been "hroken in" to her duties when gold discoveries in the Northwest Territory of Canada sent thousands of fortune seekers to the Klondike. Captain Baughman. e took command just before the gold rush. His ship is said to have brought hack some thing like $1O0,0O0,000 in gold mug gets, dust and bullion, to the United States.
 Once daring robber' ywas staged aboard the historic vessel, which soon gained the name of the Gold Ship of the West. Two bandits substituted lead for gold in chest and got ashore with their loot. They were later captured and all but $5O,000 was recovered.
 On the Humboldt Captain Baugh- man made a close friendship with Robert w Service, poet of the North west and gold rush fame. 11Soapy" !. Smith, the famous bandit, frequently commuted between the United States and Alaska on the little ship.
 The Humboldt is vessel of 213 feet in. leogth, 31 feet in beam, and has a gross tonnage of 1915.

 Henry B. Collins, -5Jr.,f assistant curator of ethnology, Smithsonian In- stitution, recently returned from Alaska, where he has conducted re- searches for the past four summers. He states that James A. Ford and Moreau B.. Chambers are carrying on excavations this summer looking to the origin and spread of the Eskimo, MT. Chambers is on St. Lawrence Island, just below Boring Strait, while MT. Ford is on the schooner Patterson, following the retreating ice pack up the Arctic coast to Point Barrow, where he will conduct ex- cavations. Mr. Collins says there is no doubt that both the Indians and the Eskimo came immediately from that part of Asia just across Boring Strait. He states that the Institu- tion now as fine collection of har- poon heads, adz and knife handles, scrapers and ceremonial objects, mostly of walrus ivory and often carved with curvilinear and flowing designs.

The matter was taken up with the Postoffice Department, and it was stated that there was no fund avail able to pay higher salaries.
