FIND GOOD PAY
 ON CACHE CREEK
Late Letters Bring Favorable Reports From Whole
 Yentna District.

Thirty-two ounces of gold taken out in twelve days on Cache creek by three men with a hollow log for sluice box is one of several favorable reports re- ceived from the Yentna district. Cache creek is tributary of the upper Kahilna. Letters brought by the Portland from the westward to differ ent men in Seward from different re- gions of the district all agree that prospects there are exceedingly prom ising.
 Several new strikes are reported and the partial recession of high water has made possible sluicing operations in many places, although the streams were flooded to an extent which pre- vented extensive work before July. The creeks of the upper Kahiltna seem to be the center of greatest attraction now, but Lake creek is lined with men who are actively employed.
 The extraction of the 32 ounces of gold by the crude process was reported in letter from T. R. Wilson to J. D. Sheldon of Seward. Wilson is well known here. He started for the dis trict in March with two partners, Jones and Collins, and states that they found some difficulty in getting ground on Cache creek, as nearly everything there had been Staked. He confirms the report brought by R. E. Shanklin of rich discovery on new creek called Poor Mans creek.
 Omer Patten received letter from Harry Ellsworth on Lake creek, giv- ing an optimistic description of the situation there. Ellsworth, George Parks, P. H. Buck and Frank Kelly have taken a lay on Patten's claim, No 6 above discovery. They went in umoath ago. From brief try-out of the ground Ellsworth expresses the opinion that they can take out SIP a day per man.
 A letter to Hans Farnsworth from SuSitna Station states that Litchfeld & Churchill's store has been practi- cally emptied of goods in the last few weeks. In May 100 tons were shipped in there to add to a fair stock which had been carried over winter, but the men from the creeks have got it all.
 Dr. McMasters reports that Dave Wallace came down to the Inlet from the Yentna district a few days ago and gave an optimistic account of proceed ings there.

ALASKA CENTRAL
 IN HIGH FAVOR
No Danger at Any Time That It Would Lack Required Fi.
 nanCial Support.

Eastern capital is gaining such con- idence in Alaska investments that 1t is no longer difficult to finance an Alaska project which investigation proves to be legitimate, such as the Alaska Central railroad. The stand inc of that enterprise now is such that a new syndicate stands ready today to take it off the hands of the present owners at any time they desire to sell.
 This news is brought to Seward by Mai. Ballaine, who organized and pro- noted the railway from the beginning and has been with it throughout its history Discussing the present standing of the project in the financial world Mai. Ballaine said this morning;
 "The people of Seward never had the slightest reason to be uneasy, as they were for while last spring, over the possibility that railroad work might close down. I took the precau- tion early last spring to get another syndicate together, to be prepared to take the work off the hands of the Frost syndicate if such action should be necessary.
 "The new syndicate has been mak- ing an investigation of the work done on the road to date, and the traffic possibilities. The result of the inves- tigation is that the new syndicate is ready to take over the entire Frost interest and continue the work without months interruption, with myself as president of the construction com pany, in case Mir. Frost wishes to withdraw.
 "The new people whom l have got ten together are so well pleased with the situation that an offer to buy the Frost interests outright will be made as soon as I return to Seattle and can gC on to New York for that purpose"

RAILROAD FORCES
 MOVING FORWARD
Construction Will Soon Be Concen- trated on Grading and Bridging
 Around the Loop

The near completion of railroad con- struction up to the first tunnel, on mile 49, is moving the grading forces over to camp 5l, where the largest number of men will be employed for the next two or three months. The force employed there is steadily grow ing and several hundred men will soon be scattered along miles 30 and 5l, which include several heavy rock cuts and some deep fills.
 The tracklaying gang is slowly push ing the rails forward and the track end is now near the end of mile 47. It will be laid close to the tunnel en- trance by about the middle of August and a new transfer station will then be located at about the end of mile 4S, and the wagon road from the winter transfer station on mile 46 will be abandoned,
 Watson & Snow's bridge builders are now engaged upon the foundations of the big treStle just beyond the first tunnel and another across the moraine on mile 50. The latter is 900 feet long but not very high, and will be pushed rapidly to completion. Work upon the high trestle will proceed slowly until the track reaches the new trans fer station, in order that the timbers may be hauled there by train.
 The first tunnel will be bored be- fore the end of August. At the south end it is still an open cut and the tunnel is apt to be much shorter than was first planned because the nature of the rock so far encountered in the side hill where the tunnel begins is unsuited for tunnel walls. The side of the open cut is now twenty feet high and the cut may be pushed many feet farther before the portal is estab- liShed.

Declare Siege in Finland

St. Petersburg, July 24-The czar today declared Finland to be in state of siege in order that the military may legally arrest the members of the douma in the event of their attempting to hold another meeting.
 Copies of the address to the people which the douma adopted were sent to all the city newspapers but policemen were stationed at the entrances to the newspaper offices and not copy of any issue was allowed to go on the street for sale until it had been passed by the censor. By this means the government will prevent the publica- tion of the address.
 Nevertheless the substance of the address will be circulated verbally among the people. It urges the Rus sian people to stand firmly against the czar's government, afirms that the czar has no right to collect taxes or draft men for military service without
