BY HAL HOFFMAN.
JUNEAU, Alaska. Sept. 30 (via Seat
:. 3).— The general effect
ent earthquakes on Alaksn
ra is most d< plorabte from a
at of view.

next to the Muir, prob

Johi: Davies of Juneau, ■who owns a
custom stamp mill, as well as the little
steams Thistle, took an adventurous
Ishman, who wanted to see ice and
plenty of it. up the Taku the other day.
It was the first time any one had at
tempted the trip since the earthquake
inday, September 10. It was seen
that the Foster glacier has slid off down
nearly t< a leyel with the surface of the
water — that is, from the sea level the
glacier runs back at a gentle, rugged
incline— the fine, transparent altitudes
of ioe having slid and crashed Into the
rea.
The Englishman thought he saw
more Ice than he probably ever will
again in the course of his natural life.
What happened the glaciers in Dis
enchantment Bay, near Takutat, has
' been published. Half a mile of ice
, rushed into the water.
Nov.- the question is, what has hap
pened to that gigantic climax of na
ture's handiwork, so well known all
over the country, Muir glacier? Can
it alone of all the principal glaciers In
Alaska have escaped without Injury'?
People hereabouts do not think so.
■vThat makes the uncertainty worse Is
that it Is highly Improbable that there
be any way to find out before the
first tourist ship reaches th°re next sea
son. There are no Indians in the vl
cir.ity, and even If there were this is
the wrong time of the year for them to

MINERS WATCH
BIG DREDGERS
Interesting Day Spent
at Orovilie.
Special D'.ewttch to The CaiL
OROVILLE, Oct. 3.— The mining en
gineers' party experienced to-day in
and around Oroville one of the most
delightful days of its trip. After an
early breakfast on the train, which ar
rived during- the night, the visitors dis
covered close to the depot a feature of
California mining which delighted
them more than have some big quartz
mines. Close to the depot some Chi
nese were mining bedrock gravel
through a small shaft and working it
in. a primitive rocker.
Twenty carriages soon speeded the
party down the Feather River to visit
gold dredgers, six of which are oper
ating along a stretch of six miles of the
river banks. All the dredgers of dif
ferent type were visited and the pon
derous machinery and gold-saving de
vices were closely studied. They saw
great machines costing $35,000 each
which will handle 2000 cubic yards of
gravel a day at a cost of from 3 to 7
cents a yard, and learned that around
Oroville alone are many square miles
of deep gravel beds yielding 15 cents
or more a cubic yard, which can be
worked only by this process, yet new in
the California mining field. A fine lun
cheon was -prepared and served near
one of the dredgers by committees of
Oroville's hospitable men and women.
Some of Bntte County's big orange
and fig orchards gave surprise and dJe
■. and in town a special county
mineral exhibit, which Included several
thousand dollars' worth of gold speci
mens, was displayed. Among the m;.in
features of the varied entertainment
elaborately arranged by local commit
tees was a banquet in the evening. The
party will arrive at lone In the morn
ing for the mother lode trip*, which will
end Thursday night, th» visit to
Tuolumne County having been cut out.

MARVELOUS WORK OF
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
Continued From Second Page,
i after the bulletins ceased a dispatch
; came along saying that the system had
; woiked perfectly all day. Ther
been no interruptions:, and the only de
lay htul I ot Flight importance
arid that was on the land wires leading
from Xavesink into the office of the
Hi raid and The Call.
Thursday and on succeeding race
j days the steamship Ponce will leave her
pier at 9 o'clock instead of half past
9. This will make it certain that those
on '.he steamship will be enabled to see
j the yachts go over the line for the start.
Prior to the yacht races the Herald and
j The Call received from the American
Wireless Telegraph and Telephone
i Company an official letter Btatlng that
they were the owners of the Doibear
::t?. covering, they claimed, all
rights to wireless telegraphs and tele
phones In the United States, and that
they formally pretested against the use
of the Marconi system in reporting the
; cup events. The letter furtiu-r stated
that while reserving all rights to take,
. in the immediate future, such legal ac
i tlon in the matter as they might decide
. upon, they did not propose to interfere
■with and stop. the Kerala and The Call
Marconi reports, but desired it distinct
; ly understood that they made such tem
porary waive solely in the interest of
science and because of the great public
j interest in this important demonstra
tion of practical wireless telegraphy.
Professor Doibear and hi? associate?
have for year? been experimenting' on
wireless telegraphy with most s&tisfac
, tory results, and in liS6 a patent was
issued to Professor Doibear, with which
the company claims that the Marconi
patent conflicts. But in the company's
rteoua and public-spirited letter
they decline to seek to interfere with
up race reports by the Herald and
The Call. Professor Dolbc-ar's work
and the results he has obtained show
the active interest that- is being taken
in this field of science by American ln
\ ventors, and in the near future the
American Wireless Telegraph and Tele
phone Company intend to give a pub
lic exhibition of the workings of their
system.

THE AMERICA'S CUP
AND CONTESTS FOR IT
F.->rty-elght years ago the bravo little
schooner yacht America, built by George
Steers, a young man barely of age, and
commanded by Commodore John C. Ste
vens cf the New York Yacht Club, ran
across the Atlantic to England, and sail
ing in the only race allowed her en the
programme of the Royal Yacht Squadron,
against sixteen competitors, the best in
the United Kingdom, captured the 100
-guinea trophy, since known as "the Amer
ica'a cup," and brought it back to Xew
York, where it has since remained, not.
however, for want of effort oa the part of
the Britishers to regain it. Ten times,
counting the present contest, have they
come over in their best built and fastest
flyers in full confidence of carrying back
the prize, and nine times have they gone
Kt.-k empty handed.
The r.cw famous cup was won by the
America in th 9 regatta of the Royal
Yacht Squadron August 22. ISSI, over a
course which lay around the Isle of Wight
and over which she beat her nearest op
ponent by over six miles. It remained the
property at the surviving owners of the
yacht, John C. Stevens. George L.. Schuy.
ler and Hamilton Wilkes. until 1557, when
it was presented to the New York Yacht
Club as a perpetual international chal
lenge cup. The New York club accepted
the custodianship and responsibility of de
fending the <"up. and sent copies' of the
conditions under which they held it to
yacht club of any consequence in
the world. Though the English clubs
were still quit^ sore over the Victory of

ing' an effort to regain it.
In ISi James Ashbury of England made
the- first challenge, and sent over his
yacht Cambria to try for it. The race
was sailed on August 8, I*7o, under pre
cisely similar conditions to those under
which the America had won the trophy—
the Cambria against the New York Yacht
Club's best, as the America had raced the
best of the Royal Yacht Squadron. Mr.
Ashbury's effort failed, several of the
New York boats beating the Cambria, the
Magic, the leader, being 2? minutes 32.7
seconds ahead of her at the linish. Tne
race was over the N*ew York Yacht Cluo
course.
Mr. Ashbury was not disheartened,
however, and • directly upon his ar
rival in England gare orders for
a new yacht, which he called the
Livonia, and in May, IS7I, Bent over
his second challenger. Five races in ail
were sailed this time, the Livonia trying
the Columbia on October 16, 18 and .19, and
the Sappho on the 21st and 23d, and being
well beaten each rime.
The third challenge came from Ma;
Charles Gifford of the Royal Canadian
Yacht Club, in April, IS7C. It was ac
cepted, and his boat, the Countess of Dur
ferin, was beaten in two races, August
11 and "- •" by the Madeline.
The fourth effort came also from Can
ada but after an interim of five years.
On May 6 ISSI, Captain Alexander Cuth
bert, who had commanded the Countess
of Dufferin In her races in 1576, sent a
challenger for the. cup, with a request
that the six months' notice be waived, as
had been done before. This was agreed
to and on November 9 and 10, 1881; the
New York yacht Mischief beat Captain
Cuthbert's yacht Atalanta the first day
by 28 minutes, and the second by nearly
to minutes, sixteen miles to leeward and
return from buoy off Sandy Hook.
Sir Richard Sutton, owner of the swift
English yacht Genesta, next undertook to
beat the Americans, and February 28, I?ST>,
an official challenge in her behalf came
from the Royal Yacht Squadron. She
came over, and on September 14 and 16
measured her speed with that of the
Puritan, first over the New York Yacht
Club course and next twenty miles to lee
ward off Sandy Hook lightship and re
turn. She fared as did her predecessors
In the effort, being well beaten both days.
The sixth contest came In liS6, and was
brought about by a challenge from an
Irish naval officer, Lieutenant Kunn.R. N.,
who brought over the Galatea to be
beaten by the Mayflower on September 9
over the New York Yacht Club course by
12 minutes, and on the 10th over twenty
miles to leeward of Sandy Hook lightship
and return by 29 minutes.
In I ST the seventh challenger for the
cup appeared in the person of Vice Com
modore James Bell of the Royal Clyde
Yacht Club. His yacht, the Thistle, came
over the next year and sailed against the
Volunteer in two races, being beaten by
19 minutes over the New York Yacht Club
course on September 27, 1887, and again
on the 30th over twenty miles off Scotland
lightship and return by 12 minutes.
The eighth challenger was Lord Dun
raven of recent memory. He brought over
In 1593 the vaunted Valkyrie and had her
beaten by the Morgan-Iselln syndicate
yacht Vigilant on October 7, over fifteen
miles off Sandy Hook lightship and re
turn: on the 10th over a triangular course
of thirty miles off Sandy Hook lightship,
and on" the 13th over fifteen miles off
Sandy Hook lightship and return; the first
day by 6 minutes, the second by 10 min
utes and the third by 50 seconds.
In 1895 the ninth challenge was made for
the cup by the Dunraven syndicate. Lord
Dunraven brought over the Valkyrie 111
to try issues with the Defender. The In
cidents and outcome of that race as told
at length in The Call at the time are still
quite fresh in the minds of the public.
The American gave the British boat a
time allowance of 29 1-10 seconds ar.d beat
her on the first day (September 7) by S
minutes 49 seconds over the Sandy Kook
course, crossing the line over two miles
ahead of her. On the 10th the Valkyrie
111 beat the Defender over the triangular
course by 49 seconds, but having fouled
her at the start the committee gave the
race to the American yacht. Lord Dun
raven withdrew his boat before the next
race and the Defender went over the
course alone, winning all three races, as
had been done by the preceding defenders
of the cup.
ELEVENTH CONTEST FOR
THE AMERICA'S CUP
In 1897 Sir Thomas Johnston Upton, the
self-made multi-millionaire merchant, <
, joined the Royal Ulster Yacht Club of
■ Belfast. Ireland, with the purpose of get
ting that club to challenge in his behalf
for the America's cup, held by the New
York Yacht Club for nearly fifty years.
; despite the tfn strong contests made at
: intervals to carry it back across the At
lantic. August 24, Sir Charles Russell,
representing the Royal Ulster Yacht Club,
who had assumed Sir Thomas L»ipton's
challenge, met the cup committee of the
Ne'w_York_Yacht_Club_and presented the
' challenge, the acceptance "of ■which "was
at once signified.
On September 6 the challenge commit

GIRL PROBABLY
BURNED TO DEATH
PASADENA. Oct. 3.— lt i 3 believed that
Daisy Prushaw, aged 23 years, has been
burned to death. Myron Hi.:, a. well known
young man. was calling this evening on
Mies Prushaw at her home at 252 Kensing
ton place. At 9 o'clock Hill went away
and Miss Prushaw went upstairs with a
lamp in her hand. She dropped the lamp
and it exploded. Hill saw the flames and
came back. He went upstairs, but was
driven out by the flames and smoke.
The house burned rapidly and the fire
department was late In arriving. Nobody
seemed to realize that perhaps a life was
lost. Nearly a half hour after the fire
had been extinguished a search was start
ed. Policeman Reynolds tried to get into
the girl's room, but it was burned off.
The girl faints easily, and it is thought
she fainted and was burr.cd to : death
Another theory is that the sirl was daz°d
and wandered away. She is not with th«=
others members of the family and they
do not know where she is.
