 Injury As Boat Sinks

Alec Robertson and E. C. Collins, returning to Ketehikan from Seattle to begin the trolling season were picked up after their boat had ruli on a rock near Dundas island and brought to Ketchikan by the hali- but schooner Aleutian.
 shortly alter leaving Foggy Bay they ran into a snow storm and n,ithin an hour were aground; the heat began to take water and the men were forced to take to thei' "owboat. They drifted all night be fore they were picked up by an Tn dian halibut fisherman near C2o Fox about noon the next day. Th'% were taken to the Tree Point ligi f station just as the Aleutian was coming in sight from the south. The lighthouse keeper hailed Captain Pederson and the men were taken to town on his boat.
 Boat Runs on Rocks
 Travelling as slowly as possible at the time of the accident, Robert son said that they tried to back the craft off the rocks, but were not having much success when the en- zine stopped. Shortly afterwards, due to the falling tide, she slid off by herself.
 Although she was fast taking water when they took to the row boat. Robertson said he could see the running light, which he lel. burning, for hours after they left her. ana still retains some hope that he may find her afloat wheI he goes to investigate.
 All that was saved was a com pass, several blankets, a couple of suits of oil skins and two flash rghts. The boat was not covered by insurance.

PrOSpectOrS' Courses
 Arouse Keen Interest

H. G. Wilcox, of the University of Alaska, arrived here this week to hold siX-weeks prospector' s course in mining.
 The project is part of the eX- tension department of the uniyer- sity. It was inaugurated last fall in southeast Alaska and the re- sponse has been so gratifying that it seems certain it will lead to something of a permanent nature, perhaps a resident mining engineer for this district as Henry ROden and others are working to that end.
 The course was opened in Juneau the first of last October. The de- mand for instruction was so great that MT Wilcox followed with a second six-week course. The total class enrolment at Juneau was 213. At Ketchikan there were 155 en- rolled and 68 in Petersburg. Class es are held five nights a week.
 The course is divided into two main parts, the first covering a series of lectures on geology as re- lated to prospecting, while the sec end is concerned with mineral iden- tification by means of the blow pipe and simple chemical tests. The classes are open to everyone with out charge.
 The appropriation for this work was made last year for the bien- nium, It was planned to devote this year to instruction in south eastern Alaska and next year to southwest Alaska, holding courses in Cordova, Valdez, Seward and An Ghorage.
 As the interest far exceeded the expectation, it may be that further courses may be arranged for this section next year, financed from other sources.

Indians Of Interior
 Have Better Teeth

The influence of the white man s food and confections is seen in the condition of the teeth of Alaska na- tiyes, and to Dr, w, Tate, of the Office of Indian Affairs, the ad- vantage lies with the people of the Interior who depend upon native diet and to whom candies and sweet tidbits are occasional treats rather than the regular thing, he told the Seward Gateway recently on his return from a three-months tour of the Lower Yukon country He reports that the Indians there have much better teeth than those on the coast. They are farther a. way from settlements and have not the temptation before them in ar rays of delectable, though teeth destroying, dainties.
 He also found the natives to be in good condition as to comforts and larder supplies, the traplines this winter yielding them good returns The fur generally is in good condt- tion, said pr, Tate, though some of it is reported as being rubbed, ' Fox, silver and red; mink and lynx were caught in fair abundance, comparative absence being noted in muskrat over that of other years.
