SEATTLE LOSES
ITS WATER
SUPPLY
SEATTLE. Jan. 14. — The people
of this city are being compelled to
temporarily dispense with the use oi
the city water system, owing to a
break in the main. The water has
been shut off until repairs can be
made, the nature of which has not as
yet been ascertained, so that the
length of the shutoff cannot be deter
mined. The city’s engineers expressed
the hope that the water would be on
again before nightfall today.
SEATTLE, Jan. 14. — The cold
spell which commenced New Year's
eve, still has this city and the sur
rounding country in its grip. The
temperature last night was twenty
two above, and the weather bureau
officials forecast a continuance of the
extreme conditions, and refuse to pre
dict when a milder spell will come.
Local forecasts for today say more
snow, jf. I **'

OBJECTS TO WESTWARD MINING
PROSPERITY. j «••«».
That there is more mining going on
in the vicinity of Ketchikan than
there is at either Valdez, Cordova,
Seward or Fairbanks is the statement
made by the Progressive Miner in a
recent issue. The paper resents the
mention of all these other places by
prominent mining journals of the
.coast and' nothing said about Ketchi
kan. It says’: "The Ketchikan pre
cinct has several good mines that are
being worked extensively. Others are
being opened up which will make the
precinct one of the most prosperous
mining precincts of the country. Ap
parently some of those mining publi
cations are informed only in spots.’
