One of the most complete maps of
Alaska and parts of the Northwest Ter

day. It was made under the supervision
ot Robert A. Habersham, civil engineer.
It was compiled from the latest charts

mation, and is something that everyone
interested in Alaska will certainly enjoy
studying.
Tomorrow being New Year's day,no pa
per will be issued. The Chronicle wishes
its many patrons the happiest of new

keep all kinds of good resolutions. We
hope further that all the good acts which
they have performed during the past
year will come before them in bold re
lief, like the great American turkey
which they will probably enjoy at the
midday meal, and that their misdeeds
wiil disappear, like the same turkey as
it goes out of sight to satisfy the desires

was the best dayB work he did while on
the claim. They have their ditch com
pleted and he is in the city after pipe
and other appliances for a giant, which
he hopes to have ready in the early
spring, as soon as the snow thaws, bo
that they will have sufficient water. He
does not think it advisable for people
to rush into thia section, as the small
mineral belt is all taken up and they
would find very few claims worth any
thing that are not already taken up.

A BAD SLIDE.
One Man Killed end Two Seriously In
' . Jured.
A slide in which one man lost his life
and two were seriously injured, occurred
near tunnel No. 3, on the O. R. and N.
yesterday.
The man who was killed was John
Joice, a laborer about 55 years of age.
He was working with some other men
when the rocks fell, and it seems that as
he was stooping over some of the rocks
struck him on the back of head, fractur
ing his skull and inflicting injuries from
which he died instantly. He' was dug
out as soon as possible, but before the
rocks were removed from his body he
was dead.
- The injured men were Tom Corrol
and S. Malcom. They were brought to
this city on a special and Dr. Doane was
called to attend to their injuries. He
found that no bones were broken, but
they received Berious bruises from fall
ing rock. They were sent to Portland
this morning for treatment.
An inquest was held over the remains
of Joice this morning and the following
verdict was rendered : '
The Dalles, Or., Dec. 31, 1897.
We, the jury, empaneled by J. M. Fil
loon, acting coroner of Wasco county.
Or., to sit in an inquest upon the facts
surrounding the death of a person whose
body is now before us, after having
listened to the testimony given by the
different witnesses called and sworn,
find as follows :
That the name of the deceased was
John Joice, a native of Ireland, of the
age of about fifty or sixty years, and so
lar as we are able to learn was a Bingle
man at the time of his death and prob
ably nas a sister living in San b rancisco,
California; that the accident which
caused his death happened on the 30th
day of December, 1897, at or near tunnel
No. 3, on the line of the O. R. & N. Co.
in Wasco county, Or. ; that the accident
which caused his death was due to rocks
falling from a bluff under which he was
working, and a rock or rocks falling on

The Tournament Ended.'
Last night . the bowling tournament
ended, with twelve games out of the six
teen in favor of the Umatilla House
bowlers. In the eight games played on
the club alleys the club team won but
one, while in the last eight, played on
the Umati'la House alleys, they won
three, which goes to prove that they can
do better bowling on the outside alleys
than they can on their own or that there
was a marked improvement in their
playing during the tournament, which is
very likely to be the reason, since the
members of the club team practiced
more and with greater care than they
had heretofore.
The results for the four games played
last night were as follows :
Club Umatilla
214 .'. .First Game. 248
263 Second Game 229
207. Third Game ..... . .209

as well as the first, tournament. The
