ADMINISTRATORS APPOINTED
Tom Radovich has been appointed
administrator for the estate of Nick
Zove, one of the victims of the Ju
neau hotel lire. He had $300 in a lo
cal bank.
Tim Harrington has been appointed,
administrator for the estate of his bro
ther, Dennis Harrington. Dennis had
a bank account amounting to $150. He
also was one of the victims of the Ju
neau hotel fire.
WHAT’S BECOME OF CARROL?
Several weeks ago a forger by the
name of Carrol escaped from an officer
at Yankee Cove, and disappeared in
the woods.
Nothing has since been heard from
him. A strict watch has been kept for
him at Haines, in case he should pro
ceed north, and a strict or more or
less careful watch has been kept for
him at Juneau. At Yankee Cove, the
theory is that he is dead somewhere in
the wilds back of the coast.
A MUCH NEEDED CONVENIENCE
Fred Gins and Nick Vavich have in
stalled into the Victor bar, a room
which may be used by men for private
“confabs.” Until this was provided
in the Victor bar, there was no place
in any saloon in Douglas where two
men, or a half dozen, could talk over a
business proposition and be secure froi|
intrusion.
The proprietors are also installing a
telephone booth for the accomodation
of their patrons. ...

Exodus foe new diggings
There was quite an exodus of peo
••.ple yesterday afternoon on the steam
er Samson, which sailed for Ruby and
Hughes City, the new town on the Koy
ukuk, which is the port of entry for
the Red Mountain diggings. The
Samson took a consignment of mer
chandise from E. W. Griffin’s ware
house here, for the Koyukuk.—Idita
rod Nugget.
Dan Sutuerland left for the outside
on the same boat.

FORECLOSURE OF EL CAPITAN

PLENTY OF WHALES
The steamship Meteor, on its last trip
to the westward ran into a school of
whales. Purser Johnson counted 20
during the voyage.
POST OFFICE LOCATION
Nothing further will be done in re
gard to the removal of the post office
until the return of the inspectors from
the Interior. They are expected in
about three weeks.
There is but little doubt that on the
return of the inspectors, the removal
of the post office to the city hall, out
of the saloon district, will be agreed
upon. At present there are ten sa
loons surrounding the post office and
within a block of it, and the inspec
tors do not regard this as very desir
able. The partition under the stairs
between the old police court room and
the building to the north will be torn
out, and the entire area thrown into
one room.
A new ruling has been received at
the inspector’s office authorizing the
shipment of denatured and grain or
wood alcohol on passenger steamers if
not kept in a hot place, and if the ves
sels containing them do not leak.
HERE’S AN IMAGINATION
William Martin, a well known Seattle
attorney, reached Seward last evening
returning from a trip to the Willow
creek district. He is counsel for the
Gold Bullion Company. Martin re
cently won an $80,000 damage suit
against the Treadwell company.—Sew
ard Gateway.
This item is a surprise to the attor
neys and court officials at Juneau, as
well as to the Treadwell company. Pro*
bably Mr. Martin’s suit is not yet
started.
JOHN STOFT TO LEAVE
John Stoft, city wharfinger since the
city dock was ready for business, will
resign his position in a short time, and
go into business with his brother-in
law, R. F. Refflinger at Petersburg.
Stoft returned from Petersburg on
the Humboldt, where he went to look
the situation over. During his ab
sence, the dock was. talfccn • care of by
James McKanna who will probably be
his successor.
EXPERIMENT STILL PROMMING
The experiment, of 3 thd Treadwell
company, looking, to. the- * doing away
with the use of amalgam in the mill
ing of the ore, still appears to be suc
cessful, but the process will be tried
as an experiment for a full year be
fore it is adopted in all the mills.
The main reason for the trial of the
experiment was on account of the
trouble caused by the amalgam in the
cyanide plant, but it will probably
save thousands of dollars every year
in amalgam.
Good mUSHER
Contrary to the prevalent idea that a
“eheechaco” fresh from a big city is
no good on the trail stands the fact
that a local medico is fast approach
ing the “Weston” class when it
comes to manipulating his pedal ex
tremities. Almost any tine day, and
even some rainy ones, he may be seen
‘ ‘ mushing ’ ’ along one of the various
trails in this vicinity. His favorite
walk is out to Salmon creek and back
just before supper. Go to it, Doc, the
country has great need of good “mush
ers.” NEMO
tJNBOUNDED PROSPERITY
Oftpt. Jimmie Sayles, of the steamer
Ella Rohlffs, reports Ketchikan as en
joying unbounded prosperity. The
town is full of people of the most de
sirable character, i. e., those having
money to invest in the local industries.
He says houses and rooms are at a
premium and property values are tak
ing a boom. The town looks good to
Jimmie.
FOR WINTER SPORTS
A meeting will be held in the office
of the Sourdough next Friday night to
consider the organization of a club for

Douglas. Scandinavians, Finns and

sports in other countries, are invited
to attend.
DAN POPOVICH IS RICH
Chris Popovich, an uncle of Dan’s
died the other day leaving a fortune
estimated at about $100,000. Every
cent of it went to Dan.
For fourteen years Chris Popovich

accumulated his property there. Pop
ovich will leave in a few days for Vic

charge of the saloon, and make his
home.
