576 OUNCES
 COLD TAKEN
 FROM WRECK
Salvors to Grapple for Bow of Islander, Resting in
 90 Feet of Water

Thus far the efforts Of the lsl- ander salvaging crew have peeh rewarded by the recovering of ap- prcximately 576 ounces of goio dust. This, with 150 tons of coal, represents the reported dividend paid to date on a total expenditure of nearly s5oo,OOO by various com panies in their attempts to retrieve the $2OOo,0O0 which were believed to have been on the ship when It went down in 1901.
 Grapple For Bow
 Working on the poSsibh.ty that the safe or vault which might contain the reputcd fortune may have been in the bow of the old steamer, the salvors now intend to grapple for it. The bow broke off in raising the hulk when the ship was dragged up over ledge in about 90 feet of water. With the experience gained in raising the main part of the vessel, no difficulty is anticipated in putting the bow on the beach. The section broken off is said to be about 20 or 20 feet in length, and is the portion of the ship forward of the cargo hatch.
 Use Sluice Boxes
 The gold has been recovered by the use of sluice boxes, through which all the muck and accu- mulated debris have been carefully washed The process has not been completed by any means, but sui ficicnt exploration has been done in the old hull to show that re- suits are not to be nearly so great as expected, unless the treasure trove is found in the lost section.
 The coal is said to be quite sat- isfactory as fuel, and has been used to some extent by the salvors.
