Bnrns'de Arrives and L aves
For Haines
The Cableship Burnside artived at
Skagway this morning at 9:20 o'clock
and sailed for Haines this afternoon.
While the ship was here new instru
ments were installed at the Skagway
office New instruments will also be
installed at Haines and Juneau. Then
the work of laying the Ketchikan ex
tension of the cable will be begun.
Col. Glassford, who has charge of the
cables and land wires in Alaska, is on
the Burnside and has general charge of
her work in Alaska at this time. The
ship is in command of Capt. Stamford,
of the signal corps, and Capt. Wilson
is the navigator.
Cable Experts Lynch anil Winters
are on the Burnside acd will supply the
technical knowledge and skill re
quired. They are assisted by John
H. Bruch, M. S. E., formerly in charge
of the Juneau cable office.
The new instruments that are being
installed in the cable offices are adjust
ed to work with smaller batteries than
werethe old ones thus reducing the
strain on the cable and protecting it.
Col. Glas?ford says the length of
lime that will be re quired to complete
the Ketchikan extension will depend,
in a large measure, upon the weather.
It is thought two weeks should see the
connection made.

they thought they had smallpox there.
