ROBT. LOUIE
A BOOSTER
Robert low, member of the Yu
kon Council, residing at Whitehorse.
was a passenger on the outgoing
Princess Maj on Saturday last.
While in Skagway he was aeon by
a representat ,\e of the Alaskan and
in speaking of the future of his sec
tion was in a very optimistic frame
of mind. He also took occasion to '
say a few words about Skagway's
proposed sampling mill and save it
as his opinion that it would be a
great thing not only for Skagwav but
for aH the surrounding country in
eluding the Whitehorse district,
A mill of this sort he thought would
be of ineaK nlable benefit in the w ay
of developing the country; furnish
ing at a convenient point a plant
where a safe working test might be
had on ores at a minnm cost to the
prospector and mine owner.

DEATHS WERE
UNNECESSARY
Passengers arriving on the City of
Seattle this morning from the south
state that the Spokane was lying In
Plumpers Bay when they came up an
that the Seattle spent several hours
near the scene of the wreck, which
is nearly covered with water at high
tide.
I| is impossible to tell at this time
they say. how seriously the boat is
injured, but that the salvor was due
there shortly after the Seattle left.
The two deaths were tragic, and
one especially so. Just before the
boat was beached. Mrs. Williams,
clad in a life preserver, jumped over
board in her excitement and attempted
to swim ashore, becoming thoroughly
chilled before she was picked up by :
>>ne of the life boats which were go
ing ashore. After landing. Mrs. Wil
liams complained of a choking sen
sation and said that th< "ork jacket
was.too tight for her. The shock,
aided b> the exposure, it is thought
brought on an attack of heart fail
ure. as the jacket was hardly re
moved before she dropped dead. The
other death, that of Mrs. Strauss, oc
curred on the steamer when it sunk.
\t the time the Spokane struck Mrs.
Strauss fainted on the deck and was !
placed in a room, by some lady
friends. In the rush and bustle of
the debarkation, Mrs. Strauss was
forgotten, and when the boat settled
she was drowned by the lnrushing ;
waters.
The passengers on the Spokan<
lost all their baggage and althouftl'
given their choice of continuing the
trip on the Seattle or going back to
Seattle on the Admiral Sampson
