A seaman named Erie Lund, one
of the crew of the steamer Latouche
was taken to the Holy Cross Hospi
tal upon the arri'ul of the boat
here suffering from a in 11/
smashed h:ii'n and seriousli injur'd
forearm. As far as eould he gather
ed the injured til in had his hand on
the hits when a timber rolled over
and jammed it. The arrival of the
boat also saw Dr. >-• vinmn the ma
rine doctor proceed to the vessel
when th- injured man was laken
ashore as above related. He is
now resting easily having had the
injury dressed.
The weather Bureau, whose re
presentative in Alaska, Mr. Sum
mers is here at the present time
is establishing observation stations
throughout the whole of the Terri
tory. By an arrangement with the
Bureau of Education most of the
stations to he established in this
section, the Second Division, will
lie placed in charge of officers of the
Bureau of Education. It is very
interesting to recall that the volun
tary observer of several years ago,
Mr. Gibson the well know civil en
gineer. endeavored to bring about
this arrangeni! lit, especially with
a view of having a careful record
kept of thi' currents in the Arctic
and through the Bering Straits, as
will as to have recorded the temper
ature of the waters adjacent to the
coast line, winter and summer. In
both of these efforts, very valuable
arrangements they would have been
from a meteorlogical point of view
no doubt, he was unsuccessful. Bet
ter understanding of the needs ot
the situation and the value of sus
tained observation of the various
meteorlogical phenomena no doubt
has prevailed of late In (lie head
quarters ot' the Bureau to judge by
the import nice attached to the sub
or voluntary observation stations
throughout this vast territory. That
improved results will follow from
these general observations does not
admit of a doubt.

An interesting and unnoticed ven-J
tur<‘ in quart's mining is deserving j
of tin* especial favor of residents of
this Peninsula, is now taking place
at or near Hluff. It is an entirely
new departure and if its outcome is
sueeessful t may mean revolution
ary change not only there but here,
changes, it need not be said, wholly
for the he:ter. Five men. Meegan
and partin : are installing a novel
departure in quartz mills which is
located on 'me likely ground in the
Hluff section and whereon pans will ’
show free gold at any time from
the quartz rock. The mill however
is the novelty that contains the
germs of successful exploitation, it
is a very small rolhr type of ma
chine and is operated by a twelve
horse powe r gasoline engine. Not
withstanding its diminutive is. it
has a gnat eutecd capacity of forty
tons of rck a day. pulverized as
effectively as with a battery of
stamps. Tl ■ > have now the entire
plant inst; 'i d and working solely
hv themselvi s They have a tunnel
driven along the prospect and have
I now encountered the surfaci rock
up above which it was their inten
tion to tap with the tunnel and will '
he putting through the fret milling
gold ore through their rollers in a
day or so. A quartz ninn whose <x
perience is a profound ns his know
ledge of til' country is exact says
that the rock upon which Meegan
and partners tire working is iden
tical with the gold bearing ledge
which I,at ■ exploited when tin H;g
Hurrah mine was being opt rated.
It is stated that the ledge can be
traced clean across the ceuntrx from
Big Hurrah to the Meegan mine at
Bluff. The outlay of capital is very
small, the operation of the mill is
lieduced to a minimum of costs
brings it within the reach of prac
tical mining for even small stake
men, while as all the partners are '
workers and there are no white col
lared dead heads, the mine opera-,
tion ought to prove remunerative
if the gold is there and the plant
j will work out successfully. For that
reason it will he interesting to
watch developments and hard rock
men with free milling gold proposi
tions which they have been unable
to devise ways and means of work
ing will lose nothing by watching
| the success of the Meegan and Co.
i mine anti doing likewise tliem
