St. Thomas, w. l., Jan. l7-Latest reports state that 1000 persons were killed in the Kingston earthquake and 90, ,OOO were left homeless. The prop erty damage in the city alone is Sl0,- GOO, 900.

Nearly 200 Now Mushing to Creeks of SuSitna and Vent.
 na Districts.
ROADS NOW IN GOOD CONDITION
Three Men In From TOkOsitna Re- port Promising Strikes on Trih-
 utarics of That River.

Nearly POO men are now mushing to the gold creeks of the Yentna and Susitna districts, all the way from Se- ward to the other side of Susitna stS- tion. They started as soon ss the trails became fit to travel, from tho station, from Knik, from the camps on Turnagain arm, from Seward. Most of them are well-outitted and majority are men who were inside last year.
 This report was brought in Tues day by Chris F. Smith, c. Gillhaus- ser and James Densmore, who arrived directly from the Tokositna river. They left Knik about a week ago and between that place and Girdwood met about twenty musherS with sleds gO- ing inside. The men going in were in small parties and were met at different places on the trail. All were getting along well and no mishaps were re- ported.
 The trail to Knik is now in good condition, better than this time last year, and travelling over it is not diff fcult. Even Crow creek pass is not bad. It has about the requisite depth of snow for hauling sleds up its slopes with the minimum of labor for that kind of a climb. The weather in the interior is cold but not excessively so.
 Smith, GillhausSer and Densmore have been inside since last February. They spent the summer prosDectiVg various creeks of the SuSitna but found nothing to their liking until they struck the Tokositna. They made To- cations on the upper creeks of that river a short distance over the divide from the discoveries on Peters, Cache and other creeks on the east watershed of the Kahiltna. The divide between the Tokositna and the KahIltna is low and narrow. The discoveries are claimed by the locators to be very rich and they make sanguine predic- tions of the output from that locality.
 The men state that Susitna station is almost out of supplies but that there are good stocks at Knik except rubber goods and mining tools.

GOLD MINING
 AT UNALASKA
Developments on Ruby Indicate That Deposits May Prove
 a Bonanza.

Unalaska island expects to have at least one rich gold mine before long, according to Deputy U. $. Marshal c. c. Harmon of Unalaska, lately in Se ward. This is the Ruby, about two miles from the town of Unalaska, which has been developed to an extent which shows that its deposits are large and valauble. A shaft has been sunk, from which drifts have been run.
 Superintendent Brown of the old Apollo mine at Unga in in charge of the work. The property is chiefly owned by San Francisco men, who were given majority of the stock to furnish the money for its development. Work has been in active progress since last spring. The 5-stamp mlll from the Apollo mine has been moved to Unalaska and five additional stamps will soon be installed. The ore is not high grade, about SPA being the best assay, but the owners hope to find the paystreak extensive enough to make another Treadwell.

RAILROAD WORK
 TO BEGIN SOON
Forces Will Be Put on the Line Next Month and Number
 Steadily Increased.

Private advices from the outside state that railroad work will begin next month. The mild winter and light fall of snow will make early work possible unless heavy snow should come later, which seems improbable according to all weather rules. It is expected that a considerable force Of men will be at work before the end of February.
 The bridge gang of Watson x Snow will probably be in Seward before the middle of next month. Bridge timber is coming on nearly every boat, besides structural iron for the Howe trusses, of which four are to be put in on the next three miles of track. The lack of this material curtailed tracklaying last fall.
 It is promised that wages will be raj sed to figures which will enable the company to secure large number of graders and station men in spite of the strong demand for labor in the north estern states by reason of railroad construction there and that a large number of men will be at work by April 1.

 Will Be Dropped.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 1S-Gov. Hoggatt held a conference today with Speaker Cannon and other leading members of the house concerning his plan for the appointment of a commis- sion to revise the Alaska code after making personal investigations of every part of the territory.

 The general opinion of the members consulted is that commissions in the past have not proven a success and that unless some special advantage is plausibly urged no such experiment will be tired in Alaska.

By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Washington, D. C., Jan. l7-Victor H. Beckman of Seattle, secretary of the Puget Sound lumbermen's aSsocia- tion, was presented to the president today to argue the case of the lumber manufacturers of the Pacific northwest. Mir.

 Beckman told the president that Pacific coast lumbermen are facing ruin because of the car shortage and that there is no means of compelling the railroads to meet reasonable demands for cars under the present laws al- though they impose excessive demur- rage charges for the detention of cars by shippers, and play fsvorites both ways. Another conference will be held today.

Nome Creeks Shy on Water

Lack of snow is causing the water question on the creeks to be a most serious one. So many boilers working on every creek, which at best have but little water, has made the shortage greater than ever before. In many places water is carried for as much as two blocks by hand, while the larger camps are hiring teams to supply them.-Nome News.
