UNDERRATE LAW,
Preparations for commercial ex-I
ploitation of birch timber in Alaska
for export purposes are being made
by at least two Alaska companies,
according to the Alaska (Juneau!
Daily Empire. It is stated that
these companies have already locat
ed good stands of this timber and
will enter the business on a substan
tial scale in the near future.
A. M. Ellis, formerly of Valdez,
and head of the Thunder Creek
Mining company. with valuable
placer ground in the Cache Creek
district, is interested in one of these
organizations.
C. M. Murphy, of Anchorage, is
connected with the second company
preparing to enter the birch indus
try. The latter organization is pre
paring to start logging and sawing
birch for exportation.
The opening up of this industry
comes as a surprise, as it had not
been known up to the present time
that restrictions preventing the ex
portation of Alaska birch had been
removed. Those who are interested
in the matter, however, state that
the last session of Congress passed
a bill containing provisions opening
up birch forests for development.
So far as is known, all of the
birch suitable for exportation is lo
cated along Cook inlet and north
from there along the line of the
Government railroad. It is believed
that its production on a large scale
will furnish considerable tonnage for
the railroad. No estimates as to the
amount of the timber available for
export are available.
HOUSEKEEPER DELAYED;
FARMER ASKS DAMAGES
WINNIPEG,.—The Grand Trunk
Pacific railway has received an un
usual request from a Saskatchewan
farmer, who demanded $5,000 from
it because of alleged delay of six
weeks in obtaining transportation
for his housekeeper, who was com
ing from Louisiana. A later letter
compromised on $1,000.
‘‘Please do not make me go to
law about this,” he urged, “for I
know that you have more money
than I have. Just send the money
along and I will call it square.” He
has not yet received his thousand,
officials stated.
AMERICANS IN TOKIO

lish and 207 Russians.

BIG SHOT FATAL
TO DICK HEALEY,
A. E1EMPLOYE
The explosion of a charge of more
than ten tons of TNT in connection
with the grading operations which
are in progress in Xenana canyon
caused the death, late Saturday aft
ernoon, of Dick Healey, youthful
timekeeper in the employ of the
Alaskan Engineerin commission, with
headquarters at Camp Healy, at the
end of steel, south of Xenana. The
young man. eager to obtain a picture
of the “shot,” approached too close
to the mined mountain-side and was
literally mowed down by the ava
lanche of rock which was hurled
across the Xenana river by the force
of the explosion. His skull was
fractured, his hip broken, his legs
shattered and his body otherwise
mutilated by the shower of rock
from the blast, and he lived only a
short time after receiving the in
juries.
The accident occurred on the
Kestly residency, about two miles
beyond the end of steel, and within
a very short time afterward. Chief
Surgeon T. O. Lake, of the Govern
ment hospital, was speeding out the
line to attend the injured man. A
speeder was used for the trip to
the crossing, and another speeder
on the south side of the river took
the surgeon to the end of steel,
whence a saddle horse took him
quickly to the scene of the accident.
There was little, if anything, how
ever, that could be done to save
Healey's life, and within fifteen min
utes after Dr. Lake arrived the un
fortunate young man was dead.
While preparations were being
made to set the blast off, Healey was
seen approaching the danger zone
with his camera, and he was warned
three times to retire to a safe dis
tance, the “shot” being held up until
it was thought that no one remained
sufficiently close to be injured.
Healey, in the meantime, had step
ped behind a clump of bushes and
it was believed that he had heeded
the warning to retire from the spot.
When found after the blast, the
young man's body was partially
buried by the fragments of rock
blown from the mountain-side, and
the trees all about were cut off
close to the ground, the area im
mediately in front of the blast hav
ing been swept as clean as a bat
tlefield.
The deceased young man was a
recent arrival in Alaska, and en
tered the employ of the Alaskan
Engineering commission only about
a month ago. He was signed on as
1 timekeeper and sent to Camp
Healy, where he soon became a fa
vorite among the railroad workers
there. He was less than twenty
years of age.
Very little is known about him,
beyond the fact that he was an ex
service man and has a mother re
siding at Plainsville, Connecticut, to
whom the distressing news of the
accident has been wired.
