The most extensive improvements
that have been made in years ou the
structure a re now fully under way at
The Moore'* Wharf.
I'erhaps the most important of
Utese Improvements is the renewing
of what ia known as the approach,
the driveway to the wharf proper,
which ia over 3.500 feet In length,
from Mrst avenue to the dock of
fice. This entire section ia to be
replaced, strengthened and widened
and will call for the uae of over 100.
000 feet of fir lumber. In addition
to this, extenslv replanktng is being
done on the wharf proper.
The pile driver crew have been %t
work over two week* aud have driv
en nearly sixty pieces of piling, re
placing those which have been de
>troyed or weakened by the ravages
of the Teredo worm.
Altogether theao improvements
Mill call for an expenditure of nearly
1 '.ooo, a great portion of which is
(or labor. This will give an idea of
the great expense of maintenance of
a property like this; especially when
oue considers that this wharf, ap
proach and all. Is over five-eighths
of 4 mile In length and requires re
newing every year in some part.
The dock today presents a very
busy appearance: the repair crews
at work. and the discharging
of the cargo of the steamer Elsa, re
quiring the services of every avail
able man In Skagway.

SOUR OliUSH BIVER STEAMBOAT ?*K
BUYS DEEP SEA VESSEL
Captain Wallace Langly, one of the
oldest steamboat men on the Yukuu
arrived oa the Humboldt this morn
ing on hia way to the Interior. His
steamersteamer The Tana will leave
from Fairbanks on the opening of
navigation for the lditarod, the new
bouanu. Capt Laugley has with him
i large shipment of freight for the
merchants of Fairbanks and lnnoko,
which will be taken to Lower Le
Bargo in barges towed by the steam
er La bYance connecting at Dawson
with the N. N. Company's steamer
St Michael.
Last summer Capt. Laugley and his
associates acquired the steamer Pup
which they will operate on the upper
lnnoko and lditarod rivers.
Shortly before leaving Seattle, Cap'
Langley purchased the steamship
Alki from the P. C. S. S. Co.. which
is at present laid up at Eagle Harbor.
Wash., where she will be left until
his return from the Interior when he
will instal new boilers and place her
on the Portland Canal run, provided
the mining camp which has been
started at the head of the Canal
proves as good as all indications now
promise, otherwise the Alki will be
placed on the Seattle-Kuskokwim run
as the reports from Kuskokwim dis
trict are very favorable and augurs
for a great placer camp.
The Captain will leave tomorrow
for Whitehorse.

JUNEAU, May 4 ? Dan A. Suther- '
laud ami John J. Boy oe left on the
steamer City of Shuttle en route to
Washington to appear before the Sen
ate committee on Judiciary in a hear
ing to determine if they were given
an opportunity to answer the charges
alleged to have been filed against !
them before their dismissal from of
fice.
The two officials so with affidavits,
resolutions of Alaskan mass meetings
and the best wishes of ninety per
cent of the Alaska people.
DAVIO IS VERY
OPTIMISTIC
Dave Epsteyn. the veteran commer
cial broker, who is kuown from
Nome to San Francisco will leave in
a day or two forFairbanks and other j
towns on his annual visit in the in- j
terest of the concerns he represeaU.
Speaking of the outlook for thht
season Mr. Kpsteyn said: "It looks ;
b<ttar to me than ever. There have
been several new discoveries adjac- I
ent to Fairbanks aad the oJiiy thing <
that can retard the increased output 1
ot gold in that camp will be the ,
shortage of labor. From private ad- '
vices, which are unquestionably au
thentic, the Iditarod country will be
one of the largest producers known
since the discovery of the Klondike.
I shall make Nome as usual and not- :
withstanding the report that Nome
is on the down grade, 1 believe that
the installation of dredges will make
Nome a gold producer for many
years to come. I think that Alaska
is on the eve of a great wave of pros
perity, and through the publicity that
has been given Alaska by the maga
zines and the coal land investigation
capital will seek investment here.
Any one with a good proposition can
get U financed. " j
