THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
All Kinds of Weather Took WhdCk
 at Seward this Week

Thunder and lightning formed a rare feature of the bunch of weather which was handed out to Seward this week. This is almost phenomenon on the southern coast of Alaska. Snow, rain, hail, sleet and the rest of the mixture surprised nobody. The com bination couldn't be worse if the town had a government weather bureau.
 Since the middle of the week the weather bureau has reformed, and two days of sunshine with the mercury along in the thirtioS has made life very pleasant from a climatic stand point.

Beai7 TracEIaying Again

Tracklaying begin again this week but will proceed slowly. as there are several bridges on mile fl which have have to be deckcd a~ the rail-'aying proceeds. The track now ends little beyond thc I3rd uilrpost and the next stop will b, made about a mile further on. On mile 45. at the summit. some heavy rock work is still incomplete which will require several weeks When that is finished track will be laid with little delay to mile 49, near the southern portal of the first tunnel.
 A large number of men are working on the rocks cut remaining between the end of the track and the tunnel. Part of the men who came up on the Oregon were added to the force there and part were turned over to Rich x Harris to work on their tunnel con tract.
 The days are getting so short now that the men cannot work full time although they are being paid for full time. It is. the intention of Constuc- ton Engineer Cameron to place Buck eye lights in the rock cuts as soon as he can install them, so that full time can be put in the rest of the winter.

In blast of that magnitude there k scarcely any danger from flying rock, a, there is in handling small blasts. The wcmcndou, weight above the powder and the long distance 10 the surface prevent the ,hattering of the rock. The explosion merely loosens aud nij- nu tip, the huge mass wiJh a movement like am earthquake. In Uni, case the displacement was at the edge of a canyon and the rock rolled down the gorge as easily a, a snowsiido.
 An tha, remains now i, to level the surface where the rock stood and the approach to the bridge will be com p,ete.
 The actua' work of boring the Rich & Harri, tunnels will begin very soon. It is gradually growing colder in that locality and good deal of snow has fallen. So far it has quickly turned into slush, bat further fall of few degree, in tcmperauwe will soon make a snow road over which heavy loads can be carried on slcds. and the big steam compressor to drive the drills will be taken up.
