A Libby, McNeill and Libby can- ming company oar found by the Coast Guard cutter Haida was the only clue today to the identity ot the sunken seiner at Point Hugh, 45 miles south of Juneau and the fate of the crafts crew remains shroud- ed in mystery.
 The Haida returned from the scene of the wreck last night after unsuccessful attempts to move the vessel or discern it's name. Crap bling hooks brought up the oar marked Libby the ships anchor, still on the submerged forward deck when hooked" a rough two-by- four ladder ten feet long, and a pen nant of the Alaska Salmon Purse Seiners Union was taken from the masthead
 Heavy Seas
 Officers of the Haida said heavy seas running before strong south east wind made investigations at the wreck difficult Two motor launches made lines fast to the masthead about eight feet above low water level, but the boat could not be moved.
 The oar found with the Libby mark, was old and worn, but one Haida officer believed the numeral 9" was discernible, indicating pos sibility the oar might belong to the Libby 2, although advices from Seattle headquarters of the con- pany advise that Libby boats one to four are all accounted for, accord ing to Associated Press dispatches to The Empire.
 On Even Keel
 The boat is resting on an even keel in about Is feet of water at low tide, the bow pointing north, which officers of the Haida believed indicated the craft had struck the reef south of the light.
 The flying bridge typical of seine boats was seen, but the stern IS at greater depth and cannot be made out clearly. Haida men could not see whether or not the big seine skiff seiners usually carry was on the after deck. Oil was observed still rising from the wreck.
 Quick Sinking
 It was observed that both pilot house doors were closed, and the possibility has been aired that crew members may have been trapped aboard the boat if she sank quickly A heavy mud current off Point Hugh, depositing its sticky burden on the sea floor is believed to have mired the craft on the bottom. Hail da officers suggest the owners (when determined will have to lash a barge to the hull at low tide to raise the craft.
 Landing parties searched nearby beaches, but found no trace of men or wreckage from the vessel. The beach at Point Hugh is rock, and

BULLETIN - OAKLAND, Cal, Nov. 3.-FOur persons are reported injured aboard the Vancouver. Capt. w. Moessing- CT, in a radio message says: This looks damned suspicious" Later radio messages from the ship said a column of water shot up outside of the ship fol- lowed by a roar.
 Spectators ashore said the ship veered toward shore and then let go both anchors.
 The Line agents deny any passengers are aboard the ship and also declined to say how badly the victims are injured.
 OAKLAND, Cal, Nov. 3.-A roaring explosion, of mysterious origin, ripped a huge hole in the steamer Vancouver as the ship was passing down the es- tuary.
 The ship immediately began to sink, stern first and then drifted toward shore.
 Persons ashore said they saw many of the crewmen, evident ly injured, clustered on the decks of the stricken ship.
 The blast was heard for miles.
 The San Francisco Merchant Marine office reports the ex- plosion occurred in the engine room which was quickly food ed by inrushing water through the hole made.
 The Vancouver is a German freighter, operated by the Ham, burg American line and was loaded with canned goods out bound from the Columbia Riv- CT and Puget Sound ports.

by a cruel irony in the boarder's nice,
comfortable room. But it had gradually
become quite plain that neither MRS.
Avery nor her son knew anything which
could be of the slightest use IN tracing
the dead mans murderous enemy.
Still, to both of them 1t had been
a cruel ordeal and Mrs. Avery looked
years older. In fact, both Rudolf and
Cathie felt frightened about her, as
she now lay on the couch with her
eyes closed.

Three Brewerfes to Supply Demand
There were two other breweries erect
ed in Virginia City about the same
time Smiths was built and both were
operated for time, the output Of the
three apparently being no more than
enough to supply the mining camps Of
the region. One Of them was burned
in 1874 and the other went out Of bust
ness after few years.
In January, 1883, Gilbert's brewery
was damaged by fire to the extent Of
several thousand dollars.
Gilbert, Of Dutch stock, was born
IN BoyertoWn, Pa, Dec. 81. 1888. He
moved west in 1854 and on into the
Rocky mountains in 1856, engaged in
merchandising and Indian trading at
Fort Bridger. Wyo.. at that time an
important point on the overland emf
grant trail to the California gold
fields. At Fort Bridger he was married
10 Miss Margaret McMinn, q native Of
Halifax. Nova Scotia. They reared IS
children, II girls and boys.
Gilbert disposed OF his interests at
Fort Bridger in the summer Of 1863 and
decided to come to Montana where the
gold camps Of Bannack and Alder
gulch were booming. They finally ar
rived in Virginia City. Sept. /, 1868.
Gilbert engaged in mining for eight
months before buying into the Smith
brewery. He served for several terms
as the mayor of Virginia City and was
twice elected treasurer Of Madison
county. He died many years ago.
