MEN ENTOMBED
mr sip shoe
Entombed beneath tons of snow^
where they were held prisoners for
ten hours while death in its most hid
eous form lurked near, was the expe
rience of Lee and Ereo Johnson, mi
ners employed at the Fern mine, at
creek district.
While eating their midnight lunch,1
j in tin* mine blacksmith shop, located
| at the mouth of No. 2 tunnel, on the
' night of January 13, a snow-slide came
down, burying the blacksmith shop
1 and crushing it almost flat, piling
| snow upon the entrapped men, who .
were held prone, Lee Johnson across
the blacksmith forge and Eero on his
back with his arm extended to where
it touched the corrugated roof, but
■ encased in snow.
News of the near-tragedy was
brought to Anchorage by H. Nass,
i amalgamator at the Willow Creek
Mines Company, who assisted in dig
ging the men out.
Lee and Johnson were working on
the night shift with Supt. McDougall
| and Ericson and another miner on
| the day shift on the 600 foot tunnel
being driven to crosscut the 300-foot
| level shoot.
When the men did not show up the
* day crew climbed the hill and found
i the tunnel covered with snow and the
blacksmith shop smashed in and bur
ied. The snow was packed in hard
and digging was difficult, but they
found Johnson’s hand sticking out of
the snow just beneath the corrugated
iron roof which he had been tapping
all night to attract attention. His
body was covered with snow and but
a small aperture was about his face
where his breath had melted the snow
away, thus giving him breathing
room. He was conscious. Digging a
little farther they found Lee John
son lying across the forge uncon
scious. He was revived after two
and a half hours massaging and first
aid treatment. The men are stiff and
sore from their cramped positions in
the snow but otherwise unharmed.
I WILL TRY FOR CLOSING
THE HALIBUT SEASON
That an effort will be made during
the present session of Congress to se
cure legislation providing for a clos
ed season on halibut fishing during
the mid winter, is indicated in com
munications received from Chas. i>.
Garfield, of the Alaska Bureau of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
Efforts along the same lines made
last year came too late in the season
but it is hoped to succeed this year.
A 80-day closed season is to be
sought extending from November 16,
to February' 15, annually. This is gen
I erally conceded to be the spawning
season for halibut. It is also the
most stormy period of the year and
annually lives and boats are lost on
fishing trips and severe hardships en
countered by every boat engaged in
the industry.
Such a season was provided for by
the Canadian Parliament last year in
an act that was assented to on June
30 last. It is desired to have the
American law, if one is passed coin
cide with that of Canada.

GOOD YEAR IN SIGHT
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.—Information
published in the current issue of the
railway Age indicates that the rail-!
ways in 1924 will invest approximate
ly as much new capital in permanent
improvements and equipment as they !
did in 1923, if no legislation adverse j
to the railways is passed or serious-!
ly threatened by congress. The sig
nificance of this information becomes i
apparent only when it is realized that ,
the total investment made in new
facilities in 1923 surpassed those of
any previous years, excepting possibly
1910 and 1911.
Thirty-four railways operating 109,
415 miles of line have furnished the
Railway Age the details of their 1924
budgets as far as they have been made
up. These show that these roads al
ready have definite plans for making
capital expenditures during the pres
ent year, amounting to $350,000,000. ;
Railways having approximately the
same mileage made estimates aggre- j
gating approximately the same am-!
ount at the beginning of 1922.
“Capital expenditures made in the
year 1923,” says the Railway Age “ag
gregated $1,076,000,000. The forecast
for 1924 that capital expenditures!
this year will be approximately the |
same, is based on a comparison or |
amount already authorized and defin
itely planned for expenditure during
1924 with similar figures of a year a
go. The most important adverse in
fluence which is tending to retard
the authorization of improvement
work at this time is the uncertainty
regarding the attitude of congress.
This condition is causing hesitation
on the part of many executives.”
HALIBUT STEAMER
LOSES PROPELLER
The big halibut steamer New Eng
lands last week broke her propeller
near Boulder Point when southbound
' with 55,000 pounds of halibut in her
hold.
The mate came to Petersburg and
wire the Ketchikan office of the New
England Fish Co. The coast guard
boats, Smith and Cygan were sent out
and towed the vessel to Ketchikan.
It is probable she will be towed to
Prince Rupert for docking.
