Remodeled, rebuilt, refurnished and
renovated in every department, freight
and passenger, at a total cost of $110,
000, the steamship Admira? Watson, of
the Admiral Line which sailed from
Seattle Monday night, is due to arrive
in Cordova Sunday morning. She will
bring three days mail.
The Watson is an improved dupli
tion of the crack Admiral Evans, here
tofore regarded as the yacht of the
company's fleet. From now on the
(Evans will leave to yield that title to
the other vessel, which will have a
larger deck space.
The changes include new social hall,
saloon, observation room, staterooms,
including six rooms with bath, new
cold storage compartment and ice
making machine. The passenger ac
commodations will be visibly increas
ed, calling for a total of 150 first and
200 steerage.
Following the Watson’s departure
the company changed its schedule to
the extent that the vessels will leave
Seattle in the morning instead of the
(evening. The new morning schedule
will be inaugurated by the Evans, sail
ing from Seattle January 25 at 10
o'clock in the morning.
The Watson and Evans will each be
equipped with a twenty-four-foot-gaso
line-powered launch for use in hand
ling passengers, mail and freight at
out of way ports of call where there
are no docks. Heretofore rowboats
have been used in making these calls.

USES ALASKA COAL
FOR THAWING GROUND
On Hearst creek, a branch of the
Tatlanika river, the prospectors are
using local coal for thawing the frozen
gravels in sinking on their claims.
Large ledges of coal project above the
ground there, and from these the fuel
is broken. A few chunks placed in
the center of the wood fires soon
catches and burns with a strong flame,
saving the prospectors the gathering
of much wood. The coal is said to be
of splendid quality.

The Washington correspondent tc
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer pays ttu
following tribute to Norman Bratton
son of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Bratton, ol
this city:
“Alaska, according to reports which
come over from New York, is repre
sented in grand opera this year. Here
tofore Alaska and art, in the public
mind, have not beep closely associat
ed, but W. N. Bratton Is putting Alas
ka on the art map.
"Braton is a young Alaskan who is
a student at Columbia college in New
York. Also he is a very distinguished
student. Last season he rowed No. B
in the Columbia crew at Poughkeepsie.
But he also has musical tastes. So
have a number of his associates in col
lege. Hence the organization at Col
umbia of the Columbia College Supes
Club, with sixteen members.
“At the beginning of the season at
the Metropolitan opera house these
sixteen offered themselves to the di
rector of supernumeraries, promising
that they would not run out on him
and that they could always be depend
ed on for duty. Eargerly the director
snapped up the offer.
“So now, whenever the opera pre
sented calls for the use of supes, a
telephone calf*to Columbia brings the
gallant sixteen. When Caruso srngs,
there, in the picture behind him, one
will see the stalwart form of W. H.
Bratton, of Alaska. Twenty-five cents
for rehearsal and 50 cents a perform
ance is the scale on which the stu
dents work. They are fully satisfied,
for it permits them to feed the music
hunger in their souls by listening to
he full opera.”
