BUNKERS FILLED
HR ORE FOR
i
, E. I). Keiter, manager of the Alaska
Mines Corporation, reports that good
progress is being made on the work
of reconstructing the wharf at Fidal
go bay. which was destroyed by the
big storm last week, and believes that
he will still be able to make a ship
ment of ore from the mine before the
close of the present month.
When the wharf and approach was
•wrecked by the storm it dropped the
piledriver outfit into the bay at a
point where (he water was five fath
oms or more deep. The members of
the crew, after the storm had sub
sided. succeeded in getting lines on
the machinery and soon had it on
shore and in working order. Two
thirds of the approach, which will be
about four hundred feet long, has
been completed. The wharf will be
forty by one hundred feet and work is
being rushed to enable the shipment
of ore to the smelter this month.
Mr. Keiter states that his company
is now employing twenty-five men,
and that the number will be increased
as the development of the ore bodieH
is being continued while facilities are
being provided for shipping the ore.
The work of driving the tunnel of the
fourth level is being pdshed and it
is now in a distance of three hundred
feet, hut it is expected that five hun
dred feet more will require to he run
before the liig body of high grade
ebaicopyrite ore encountered between
the third and second levels will be
tapped.
The destruction of Hie wharf pre
vented the shipment of one thousand
tons of ore on the last trip of the Ad
miral Farragut, and the terminal
buildings, ore bunkers, shutes and
tunnels, in fact every place where ore
can bo stored arc filled to capacity.
Some idea of the force of the storm '
which destroyed the wharf may be j
gained from the fact that the terminal j
building, with about fifteen tons of ^
counterweights for the cables, was
moved on its concrete base for a dis
tance of several inches. This, how
ever, does not worry the management
as it had been planned to move thf
building had not the storm done thf
work. Miners from there say that thf
storm was the worst they have evei
seen in Alaska or anywhere else, ant
that mountainous waves swept ovei
the wharf before it collapsed.

AMATEUR SPORTS UNABLE
TO AGREE
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. — As
the discussion concerning the status
of an amateur goes on, it becomes
more and more apparent that the east
and the west are not likely to agree.
That the east is meddling In the af
fairs of athletes with which it is not
concerned 4s the stand taken in the
west. As long as an athlete receives
no compensation for participation in
any branch of sport, the west con
tends he is fulfilling all that reason
ably can be expected, and that it is
not within the province of any athletic
officials to dictate what concerns a
man's private or business affairs.

Representative Will E. Humphrey'
proposition to create an additions
steamboat inspection district, witl
headquarters at Seattle, which wil
include the North Pacific Coast statei
and Alaska, seems likely to be adopt
ed by Congress, says the Seattl
Times of January 24.
The House committee on merchan
marine and fisheries has reported i
general bill increasing the number o
inspection districts from ten to eleven
"The first steamboat inspection dis
trict,” the report says, "is located a
San Francisco. The supervising in
spector has under him the local In
spectors at Ixjs Angeles. San l'ran
cisco. Portland. Seattle. St Michael
| and Juneau. Alaska, and Honolulu
Hawaii.
"One supervising inspector canno
properly supervise a district as iaiy
as Hie first district. The approximo1
coast line from the southern par* o
California to Nome, Alaska, is aboil
3,000 miles, and to this should be ad
ded approximately 800 miles of tin
Yukon river, or a total of 3,800 miles
The distance from San Francisco ti
Honolulu is approximately 2,000 miles
That immense district of great dis
tances which had. in the last fisca
year, a total of 1.1 Of. steamers in
! speeted. with a tonnage of 1,098,79!
| tons, is under one supervising inspee
tor, while on the Atlantic coast then
are four supervising inspection dis
tricts, the second, third, fifth anr
tenth.
"It seems evident that one super
vising inspector can not keep in dost
touch with the local inspectors am
give the personal attention to the itn
mense district on the Pacific coas
that is required to make the servici
efficient, particularly so when the in
crease of shipping, present and pros
pective, due to the opening of tin
Panama canal, is taken into consider
ation.
"lns|>edoT General Ulller informec
the committee that if this hill* is en
acted the supervising inspector at Sai
Francisco and I.os .\ngeles, Califor
nia, and Honolulu, Hawaii, and tin
new supervising Inspector would in
stationed at Seattle, and would be it
charge of the local inspectors at Se
attle. Wash.; Portland. Ore.; and Ju
ueau and St. Michael, Alaska.
"The salary of the additional super
vising inspector provided for in the
hill will be $;:,000 per annum, as fixed
by law.
"The committee was informed bj
Inspector General Chler that the eosl
to the government caused by the cre
ation of an additional inspection dis
trict on the Pacific coast would nol
1 exceed $4,500 per annum, which sum
would include the supervising inspee
tor's salary, traveling expenses and
incidentals.”
