Its history and . one feature of It will ! be the large number of steamers en gaged In the traffic The only problem . now confronting the shippers is the car shortage for without cars to bring the wheat to tide water It will be Impossible to dispatch the vessels as they come for ! tbelr cargoes. From now on until late next spring Portland's water front will present scenes of the greatest activity and the : army of longshoremen snd grainhandler will have to be strengthened materially although there are now more than 2,009 ' men engaged in various capacities along the warehouses on the front.

He Is of the opinion that they have already been picked up by one of the many government vessels in that vicinity and that they will soon be brought to one of the coast ports. "The shores of all of the Alaska pen insula abound with all sorts of game and near Nelson lagoon there Is an In dian fishing village," said Captain Wer llch in discussing advisability of send ing a special vessel to the rescue of the survivors of whom there are about 250. "There is no good reason why one of the government vessels about to return rrom the north Bhould not call and pick up the survivors since undoubt edly the news of them being there has spread an along the coast. Certainly something should be done for the un fortunate ones who found themselves cast upon the beach, but I feel quite confident that they are on board some vessel by this time. There are many smaller craft plying among the islands of Bristol bay and they could easily go to the assistance of the shipwrecked.

( Bevcr, before leaving Goldfield, completed the main shaft to 145 feet, with cross-cut of 140 feet, finding large bodies of ore running up to $140 per ton with small stringers running as high as $5,000. Before departing he let a contract for an addition al 100 feet of shaft where he expects to encounter a bettergrade of ore. The company has given a lease on 16 acres of the Butte Boys' ground to a Goldfield mining company. They will begin sinking at once. The company will push work with all possible speed. As soon as waterisncountered the Butte Boys company will install a mill to handle their ore, which is 'free milling. Tne prospect for a great mine is equal, in the .opinion of some of the best mining men in Goldfield, tp. anything that has ever shoVn up in that dis trict. G.
