of three archaeological expeditions
sailing from here today for Central
America.
A buried city the ancient Mayas
in Yucatan was the objective of one
party led by Dr. Herbert J. Spinden,

will be studied by an expedition
headed by Prof. S. J. Record of the

Church Tower Yields
Aged Tobacco Pipe
LONDON, Jan. 25. (A*)—A tobacco
pipe, estimated to be about 235 ■
years old, has been found in the
tower of St. Mary Somerset, which
is the only portion of the church
remaining.
It would seem that the pipe was
left behind by one of the workmen
when the tower was being rebuilt
in 1690, after the Great Fire of 1666.
The pipe has an ordinary shaped
bowl set at an obtuse angle to a short
stem.

Much Return Mail Brought
Back on Steamer Starr
Included in the twenty pouches of
mail matter picked up at the Kanatak
station by the steamer Starr from the
Bristol Bay district, and which com
prised the first shipment of mail re
ceived from that region since the end
of the cannery season was lots of
return mail. It appears that owing
to the early closing season which went
into effect last fall a number of the
cannery outfits departed for the south
at a much earlier period than had
been the custom of previous years.
The consequence was there was a con
siderable amount of mail from the
States which arrived after their de
parture. The last mail trip of the |
Starr into Bristol bay was made in !
August.
Good program at the Liberty.
Red, Blue Fox Skins
Arrive from Westward
About $3,000 worth of fox skins,
blue and red, came into Seward Sun
day on the steamer Starr from west
ward points, mainly from the False
Pass district. The islands appear to
be over-run with the animals this year,
according to a report brought into the
city and all trappers are meeting with
exceptionally fine results. It was
estimated each and every trapper in
that region has to date caught from
50 to 200 fox.
The furs will be shipped to Seattle
on the steamer Alaska.
Three children, Helen, Beatrice and
Lena Skinner, between the ages of
two and five years, arrived in Sew
ard Sunday from Unga, and have been
accepted by the local Jesse Lee Home.
J. Wadman, who has been conduct
ing a hotel at Kanatak, was among
those arriving in Seward Sunday morn
on the steamer Starr.
