Wind and Current
Hamper River Boats
The steamer Monarch passed down
last evening heavily loaded with freight
and passengers for the Tanana. The
extreme high water and the resultant
swift current is greatly assisting down
coming craft, but those bucking the
flood make poor headway.
The T. C. Power, which passed up
last night, was tied up to the bank four
miles below town all yesterday. The
heavy down river gale together with
swift water stopped all headway. The
Hannah and a barge tried for 18 hours
- to make the rapids, but was Anally com
pelled to leave the barge and come
through alone. The Seattle No. 3 left
Tanana last evening, and is due here
today. She carries out-going mail.
Pres Ireland, George Shirley and Gas
Brown left for a months’ stay at the
Ray river hot springs on the Hannah.
The death of Bob Cicero is reported
to have occurred near Spokane last fall
from being fun over by his own team
and heavily loaded wagon.
J. McKenzie .and Nick Blom left on
the Monarch for Fairbanks. Both men
go to attend to business interests there
and will return shortly.
Mrs. G. Tiffany and little daughter
arrived from Tanana on the Hannah,
and will visit with her sister. Mrs. John
Stanley. Both ladies are occupying the
Koonce cabin on Second street.
W. J. Thompson, a well known Daw
son newspaperman and at one time ed
itor of the Yukon Sun, was a Fairbanks
passenger on the Monarch. Mr. Thomp
son will establish a daily paper in the
Tanana metropolis.
A. H. Monroe, the well known pio
neer hydraulic mining man of the camp,
was married in Mexico, Mo. on April
17, to Miss Mabel M. Babb, of Colum
bus. Kansas, at the residence of the
bride’s sister, Mrs. McMasters.
Deputy marshal Chas. Dreibelbis, of
Fairbanks, passed up on the Hannah
with a batch of insane prisoners for
the Oregon asylnm. He took into his
custody the two Rampart insane pa
tients, S. P. Robins and Herman Reel
man.
Hoosier Hydraulic
* Nearly Completed
The Foosier Hydraulic Company has
its plant nearly ready for operations.
Manager Koonce will put on a night
shift immediately and it is anticipated
that the plant will be in active opera
tion in ten days.
The putting the sections of piping to
gether is going rapidly forward, and
owing to a special device invented by
J6hn Stanley, the operation is made
quickly and effectively, and without the
buckling noted in past pipe lines con
structed here.
In addition to the building of tressles.
and levelling of the right-of-way for
the big pipe line, a large mess house
has been constructed. A visitor to the
scene of operations states that things
are going forward with great vim.
