OLDTIMER DYING
! (MEN ROAD
I But for the timely arrival of Ed
■ Bartlett, who is engaged in hauling
(supplies between Roosevelt and the
Akken silver camp in the Kantish
na, Bill Hunter, well-known oldtim
er, doubtless would have perished
on the trail.
According to the story brought
to town last night by arrivals from
the Kantishna, Hunter was found
unconscious on the trail about a
week ago. at a considerable distance
from the nearest habitation. Bart
, lett lifted the old man onto his
sleigh and took him to the nearest
relay camp on the trail, where he
was brought back to consciousness
with considerable difficulty. It was
then found that Hunter had lost the
; use of one side and was helpless.
Bartlett sent word to the Aitken
camp and arrangements were made
by Joe Quigley to take Mrs. Bagley
to the road camp, where she was to
have remained with Hunter until he
could be taken to a cabin near the
Aitken mine. Mrs. Bagley, a former
nurse in the employ of the Gov
: eminent hospital, and now visiting
with the Quigleys in the Kantishna,
had planned to come out in about
a week's time, but she will now
remain with her patient until she
has nursed him back to health.
Hunter is a well-known oldtimer,
having mined in numerous Interior
camps and acquired several “stakes”
of considerable size. He was a pa4
tient at the local hospital some time
ago, and left for the Kantishna
shortly after his discharge from that
institution. He is a man well along
.in years.

WORK 1 WRECK
IN LYNN CANAL
ENDS FOR TIME
The Deep Sea Salvage company '
has abandoned operations at the j
scene of the Princess Sophia wreck '
for this season.
J. M. Dawson, Juneau representa- j
tive of the company, recently made j
the following statement to a repre- ]
sentative of the Juneau Empire, I
relative to the plans for future ef-]
forts to raise the vessel: “Our j
company felt that it would be tak- ]
ing too many chances with our |
thousands of dollars’ worth of equip- j
ment to attempt to raise the Sophia j
this year. The winter is upon us, j
and although we are practically j
ready to make the lift, we think it
would be foolhardy to try it. If ■
we succeeded in getting the boat j
to the surface, a storm might com0 j
up and we would lose her, and
maybe forever.
"We will anchor our four scows
and the tug Harold C. in Bridget
cove for the winter with a crew of
several men to watch them. Wre are
as yet undecided what we will do
with the J. M. Coleman, the other
boat of the fleet, but it is likely
that she will be berthed in the chan
nel.
“Many of the men, including C.
B. Dawson, the president of the
company, left on the Northwestern,
and the remainder will go to Seat
tle on the Alaska. I myself will
stay here all winter to look after
company matters.
“Having all our equipment on the
ground and the rigging mostly in
readiness, we are sure that early in
the spring we will be able to make
quick work of the raising of the
boat. Two weeks after the crew
land here next spring we should
have the Princess Sophia on the
surface. We will have the advan
tage in the spring of having the
good weather coming toward us in- J
stead of receding, and will feel that '
after we have the vessel raised we !
can safely handle and beach her.
“The only cause of the failure to :
raise the boat this year was the fact,
that we arrived in Alaska just abou: i
two weeks too late with our equip- \
ment. There is nothing' wrong with !
the method we are to use of the :
men in charge; it is all a question of i
weather.”
Mr.. Dawson also said that the ;
contract held by the salvage com
pany with R. A. Tripple. receiver
appointed by the court, has been |
renewed to take care of the exten
sion of time.

FORT WORTH. Dec. 4.—A Fort
Worth-Denver passenger train was
oadly wrecked yesterday as the re
mit of jumping the track at a point
ibout 60 miles north of this city.
The smashup resulted in the in
jury of more than a score of pass
engers, a number of whom were j
seriously hurt. There were no'
deaths, however, which is consid
ered miraculous in view of the fact
that several of the cars were badly
smashed.
