HAS NEW SUPPLIES
 F0R MOTHER LODE

Oscar 1Iaglund started this morn ing from Valdez with a new outfit to replace the one the Mother Lode Min ing Company lost in the Chittyna river by the breaking of the river ice April ?. He hopes to get the new outfit as far as Tonsina before the breakup, and from there it will have to be packed.
 The loss of the summers supplies will be great handicap to the com pany as a great deal of the time and money will have to be expended in taking the latter outfit to the camp. The lost outfit was of two tons and the two horses that were hauling it were also lost. Mir IIaglund Is super intcndent of the company's develop ment work and one of tho owners of the property, and he lost iio time in hurrying back to Valdez for fresh supplies when the outfit was lost. He was not with the lost caravan when it went into the river, having stopped at McCarty's camp, several miles this side. Three men besides IIaglund were taking the outfit in. They were Oscar Sahl, also one of the owners, Charles Labcllc and AXcl Hclstrom.
 The lost outfit dropped into the Chittyna when crossing that stream about a dozen miles above it's june tion with the Copper river. The weather had been soft for several days and the ice was becoming rot ten. One horse was hauling most of the load on two slcds. The other horsc was in ba( shape and was haul ing a smaller sled behind. When the first horse with the two slcds went down with a man on each the other horse and the man on the sled stop ped. The two men who went into the water climbed out and began trying to save the slcds. The third man took his horse back on the bank and tied him and went to assist the others.
 The surviving horse was much ex- cited by the loss of his mate and plunged around until he broke loose. He then ran to the scene of the crash and in spite of the efforts of tho men to stop shim fell in where the first horse had gone down and was also drowned.

SAN DIEGO WILL
 HAVE HOT TIME

San Diego, Cal, April 14-There is hot time in store for this city when the fleet arrives, which should be this afternoon or tomorrow. Yester- day the men of the fleet were paid T quarter of a million dollars so that they might have plenty of spending money when they reached port.
 San Diego will be the first real American city the men have seen since they left the Atlantic. At Mag delena bay the men spent only very little time ashore as there was noth- ing to see, and they will be in fine fettle to enjoy to the utmost their shore leave here.

CABLE REPAIRED
 AND VERY BUSY

The Sitka cable was repaired and resumed business Saturday evening at Valdez at 8:15 p. m. of that day. The local operators worked all Saturday night and most of Sunday clearing up the rush of business which came in.
 Well-informed persons say that breaks in the cable may be expected frequently hereafter and that they will probably be so numerous that the government will be compelled to lay new cable by next year Two reasons for this are given.
 It is said that the cable is flimsy and defective and could not have lasted many years in any case, but it is alleged also that it was stretched too tight when first laid. This tight stretching subjects 1t to severe ex- ternal wear and tear on rocks where it comes in contact with them on the sea bottom and gradually rasps it in two so that it breaks easily. The tremendous pressure to which the wire is subject at great depth causes it to give way whenever weak spot in it becomes slightly worn.
 All these adverse influences are steadily weakening and slowly des- traying the cable so that q new and better one will be an absolute neces-. sity in short time.
