LADIES,

(By Associated Press)
JUNEAU. June 4. — During the re- ,
cent flooding of the Alaska Treadwell i
gold mine at Douglas and amid Its
attendant excitement. R. O. Wayland.
the superintendent, had the presence
of mind to remember the high cost of
living and saved 150 sacks of potatoes '
from being engulfed along with the '
natatorium. warehouse and a couple
of cottages.
After the frightful crashes accom
panying the inrush of water into the
mine workings. It was seen that the
cache containing the potatoes back
of the warehouse was Intact, although (
the building and tunnel lending to ,
the cache had slid into the pit. A
glance at the records showed 150 sacks
on hand, and an offer was at once
made for the recovery of the tubers. '
With the price of potatoes up to $100 ■
per ton, the supply was worth $600,
and a reward of $200 was offered for
their recovery.
The chasm into which the water
from the Gastlneau channel had
poured until the great mine was full,
bubbled and boiled, and It was appar
ent that the crumbling walls, together
with the potato cache, would slide
Into the abyss before many hours. But
this did not deter three young men
with a launch from towing a scow di
rectly Into the water filled pit and
backing it up alongside the cache. Two
carried the sacks out of the cache
while the third did stevedoring extra
ordinary on the barge. It took them
| six hours to transfer the sacks and
tow the barge out of the danger zone
Under a ‘‘gentleman’s agreement"
the carriers took $75 each and the
stevedore $50, as It was figured out
between them that in the event of a
cavein the latter had three chances to
escape to two for the former.
Two hours later the cache and bluff
slid silently Into the pit and were
sucked into the depths, but the pota
toes were safe.
