Alaska through tin" entry into the
trade of the Yukon Transportation &
Trailing company, which will compete
with the North American Trading &
Transportation company and the Nor

lias been much bitterness among Al
aska merchants against the two last
companies for some years owing to
an agreement which is said to exist
between them as to rates and sched

1 A young man named Wendell had
j both eyes blown out and his face
I horribly mangled by an explosion of
| dynamite at t*ie placer mine of J. M.
Ruffner at Discovery in the Atlin
I district Monday morning.
He was setting off blasts under
(stumps. One of the blasts was slow J
to explode and Wendell; evidently
thinking the fuse was extinguished,
approached to investigate.
Just as he was nearing the stump,
j the blast went off with terrific force
throwing Wendell twenty feet away.
BoUi his eyes were torn out and his
' face was so mangled as to be unre
cognizable. He also sustained bad
| injuries about the body. It is hardly
believed that he can survive.
Dr. G. W. Gabie of this town was
telegraphed for yesterday and he left
this morning for Atlin.
Wendell has a claim near AUin
and has lived there for several years.
