For the past two weeks mem bers of the town council have held numerous conferences and to the neglect of their business and personal affairs have made an in tensive study of the light plant situation here with W. J. Mcintosh of Seattle, manager municipal di- vision of Fairbanks, More & Go.
 Since the town formally as sumed ownership of the light plant in October, 1881, the consumption of electric current in Wrangell has doubled. The plant is now operat- ing at capacity with no margin for future growth or increased de- mand for current
 The equipment of the plant now includes twb Diesel engines, one built to generate 200 h.p. and the other 120 hp. The larger engine is old and worn out and cannot pro- duce 200 hp. The smaller engine is part of the equipment bought from the Interstate Light & Power Co. and is declared to be in excel lent condition. The contract With the Interstate expired last July. The plant and all operating ex- penses since November, 1881, have been paid for from the earnings of the plant Final payment on the distributing system bought from local owners will be made early in March.
 MT. Mcintosh, after making careful survey of the light plant record and of the town of Wran- gell generally submitted a pro- posal to the town council, which, briefly, is that Fairbanks, Morse & Co. will install a $50 h.p. full Diesel electric generating set, which will more than double the present capacity of the plant and will furnish funds for construction

 WRECKS BIG
 DIRIGIBLE

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.- The naYy's huge dirigible Macon is on the bottom of the Pacific ocean this morning and only two lives were lost when the giant of the skies sank after 1t lit on the water following an explosion. Eighty-one were rescued. Two of those rescued were injured. They were brought here this morning. with the other 79 survivors, on three battleships.
 Lieutenant Commander Herbert V. Wiley said that the trouble started three miles off Point Sur, approximately 110 miles from San Francisco, when a bump was felt and the wheel slipped out of the elevator mans hands.
 The bow of the ship shot up, Wiley said, and cells number one and two were gone. The ballast aft of the dirigible was dropped and gas was released from the forward cell in an effort to balance the ship, but the attempts were futile.
 Then began the descent. Every thing possible was dropped to ighten the ship but it continued it's descent The stern hit the wa ter first and the crew jumped out after arranging the rubber life- boats. The Macon sank in 20 min utes, Wiley said.
 The two men who died in the disaster were Ernest Daley of Northbound, Oregon, radio opera tor, and Edward Quiba, mess atten- dant Daley apparently broke his back in making a 125-foot leap be- fore the dirigible touched the wa ter. The cause of Quiba's death Is undetermined

JUNEAU MAN IMPRESSED WITH GOLD IN CASSIAR DISTRICT

There Is gold in the Cassiar District That Is the word brought to Juneau by George Bacon, pros pector who completed a 450-mile trek from that British Columbia area here last week, reports the Juneau Empire.
 Although the area Is an isolated one, Bacon believes that the ex- hibition of gold he saw there last summer indicates that the Cassiar may become one of the important mineral districts of the north.
 'T saw from 15 to 16 quartz veins,' Bacon said. "There was visible free gold in many of them. I should say that, roughly, the dis trict included about 20 square miles. When I left, several miners were planning to spend the winter there. Plenty of game and fowl will give them sufficient food supply"
 The Cassiar district can be reached from Southeast Alaska by going east up the Stikine river from Wrangell to Telegraph Crek. From this community, another long journey eastward Is necessary. However, Bacon pointed out that if, and when, the International highway is built, the district will be "wide open," as it lies but a few miles from the proposed route of the road,
 MT. Bacon, himself, came out via Taku. Here he had an unfor- tunate accident, losing his small boat at Pt. Bishop and was held up for three days. He is an employee of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining company, and has been doing some work for this company in the Tul- sequah district.

Student loan funds at Alaska college have given practical aid to several dozen students since they were instituted, according to the figures available in the President s office. Of the three loan funds from which students may borrow, the Lawrence c. Phipps Loan fund is the largest. Senator Phipps of Colorado has loaned to the Board of Trustees of the college for a period of ten years without interest the sum of $5,000 to be used for loans to students. To date 75 have borrowed from this fund. The total loans made have reached the sum of $1O,475. The interest earned on these loans is $969,S7 and the dividents on the fund to July 1, 1884, totaled $294.0S.

Jim Mattital Leaves
 CasSiar Disappointed

Visiting the Cassiar region after 40 years proved a disappointment to Jim Mattital, who returned to Seward from Boulder creek, tri- butary to Muddy river, a few weeks ago, according to the Sew ard Gateway.
 MT. Mattital was called to the district last spring by an old ac- quaintance and partner, bu t freight rates on supplies from Wrangell, together with the heavy expense entailed in sluicing out boulders and clearing brush and growth, make profitable develop ment out of the question, he con- cluded, and when he left the region in December his mind was made up that he would not go back.
 The gold is there, said Mr Mat tital, but not in sufficient quanti- ties to overcome the tremendous expense of getting it out
 The oldtimer was on Muddy riv- CT in 1895, and crossed Chilkoot Pass into the Yukon in the early gold rush days. Coming out last December he crossed the same sec tion, but this time by airplane.
 His plans have not matured for next summer, but he has been min ing too long to begin figuring on giving it up, and anticipates that he will be going over ground when the time comes. but this time near CT home

Salmon Cannery Labor
 Statistics Completed

Hugh J. Wade, Deputy Admipis- trator, MIRA, recently completed a summary of salmon cannery labor statistics coming under his salmon code work which affords an unu- sual and new study of the cannery labor situation. In many cases, re- lative to the statistics, 1t is point of those working throughout the season was considerably higher than the averages show, as fre- quently workers only stayed a few days, or their work was shortened for other reasons, and consequently the averages per individual pulled down.
 Wages Paid
 Statistics gathered by the Plan ming and Research Division of the Canned Salmon Industry show that the salmon industry paid in 1894 to resident employees of Alaska
 -hieh do not include independent fishermen, $2,712,336.37. TT c figures 'are gathered from 97 can neries out of a total of 109 tha operated in the Territory The aver age wage per employee was S460.- 28. (Metlakatla employees, mostly natives, not included.) Statistics further reflect that in Southeast Alaska the salmon industry em- ployed 1,224 natives for work in side the cannery and 768 whites
 In Southeast Alaska the total amount paid natives for work in- side the cannery was $132,155.28. Total amount paid whites for in- side cannery work, $121,804.4S Total amount paid natives for out side labor, $29,089.50. Total amount paid whites for outside la bor, $127,958.96. Total amount paid employee fishermen, $317,- 809.73. Total amount paid all types of Alaska resident employ ees. $728,S11.75.
