Pioneer Pioneer of Gold Rush Days Still Hale, Hearty- Here In 1859. British Columbia's grand old sea- dog, Captain John Irving, will cele brate his eighty-third birthday on Sunday. Known wherever steam boat and mining men gather, from Seattle to Nome, "Captain John" is one of this province's most notable pioneers. Back in 1859 he came to Victoria with his father, Captain William Irving, who built the first steam boat in British Columbia. Before he was 20 John had command of the steamer Onward, and by the time he •was 31 he con trolled the Canadian Pacific Navi gation Co., which had a practical monopoly of B. C. coastwise steam- boating. Those were the halcyon days of frequent gold rushes—days when dozens of stern-wheelers were churning up the Fraser; days when the C.P.R. construction brought great wealth and high hopes and an inroad of population. Captain Irving was in the thick of the fight, and his steamboats CAPT. JOHN IRVING carried many tons of railroad sup plies up the Fraser and Thompson rivers. Then came the Klondike rush, and Captain John took advantage of the times to organize the John Irving Navigation Co., operating steamers on Yukon waters. In 1901 he sold his steamboat in terests to the Canadian Pacific Railway, which has since built up the services with the modern "Prin cess" liners. The last of Captain John's old steamers was the Charmer, which went to the scrap pers this year. Although Captain Irving has out lived all his steamers, he is proud to say that his "timbers are as staunch as ever they were." For many years he has confined his in terests to mining, and has just re turned to his home in Vancouver after visiting mining properties in l-i~l- V.« ia in+oro«tfl_ fl. Vp1deZ. VAILY PROVINCE.

Competition at this time was of the hottest kind, but Captain John was quite equal to the emergency, and soon emerged with his line stronger than ever. Under his management numerous steamers were added to the fleet, the "Lillooet," "Hope," "Glen- mora," and "Royal City" toeing familiar names to old-timers. In 1881 he built the "Elizabeth Irving," the finest steamer on the Fraser, at a cost of $50,000, only to see her totally destroyed on her second voyage near Hope. ^FS

A second line which Captain Irving had commenced in 1890, the Columbia and Kootenay Steam Navigation Co., which added enormously to the de velopment possibilities of that district, was also absorbed by the C. P. R. Captain Irving probably did more than any other in solving the problem of transportation to the Yukon. He and his ships of the John Irving Navigation Company became well known in northern B.

And there was another heart of oak for his to lean upon, The heart I mean that could be seen in the face of Captain John."

Master of Clipper Craft Tells Story As Another Ship Leaves for Islands. By WALTER B. CLAUSEN BOARD the Tuna Clipper Northwestern, at Los Angeles A Harbor, Nov. 24.—(AP)—A solution of the death mystery at the Equator of two men was offered to day by Captain Fred Ostrem, skip per of this ship;, just in from the Galapagos Islands. From Associated Press radio de scriptions of the two bodies, sent by the skipper, who found-them last Saturday on bleak, waterless Mar- chena Island, at the Equator, Captain Ostrem identified the vic tims as Arthur Estampa, 34, Norwe gian, of Indefatigable Island, in the archipelago, a completely new figure in the mystery, and Alfred Rudolph Lorenz, 40, of Paris, deserted com panion of the Baroness Eloise Bons- quet de Wagner of Charles Island. VINCENT ASTOR KNEW HIM. He accounted for their presence on the bleak volcanic beach of Marchena as a shipwreck of Estampa's schooner, the Falcon, on a reef jutting out from the southeast tip of the tragedy isle. Estampa, he said, was known by Vincent Astor and a member of the Roosevelt family, and the engine of his old pilot schooner, the Falcon, •as sent to the island several years o by a member of the Roosevelt 1897
