Siberian Convicts Land in Alaska but

Siberian ConvictS Land IN Alaska but
Are. Not Wanted.
Cordova, Alaska. July 19.-The St.
Croix has brought here 100 Russians,
part Of the 300 landed at Nome by the
Russian steamer Vaarg and held up as
the result of Nome mass meeting,
but finally landed when it was found
they had the necessary amount of
money. Cordove objects to their land
ing and they may be taken to Seattle.
Among the party are several who
are believed to be members Of the
band of political convicts who escaped
from penal colony in the interior of
Siberia several months ago and who on
June 20, were reported to be working
their way toward East cape, on the ex-
IRENE Eastern coast of Siberia in an
effort to cross the Behring straits and
reach America.
The men believed to be the escaped
convicts are wearing old Cossack uni
forms. These men have been keeping
their own counsel, refusing to COM
municate even with the other Russians
who came down from the North with
them.
The party reached Nome from 81;
IBERIA on the Russian steamer Vaarg
After arriving in Nome the men re-
embarked on the steamer St. Croix, anc
came to this port, where they asked
for work in the construction camps o.
the Copper River & Northwestern rail
road.
The uniforms worn by the men sup
posed to be the escaped political exile
show very hard usage. 1t is believed
the clothes were taken from the guard
killed in the battle at Chupotosk, nea
the Arctic circle last March, when tn
convicts defeated a company of pursu
ing Cossacks.
The Russians who came from Nom
on the same vessel with the suspecteI
men profess to know nothing of thei
identity, and share the belief that the
are the survivors of the band of exile
who were fighting their way across l,
500 miles of Siberian waste.

Holes for tree planting. according
to the Engineering Record, have been
excavated by the Long Island Rail
way by blasting with dy amite- A
hole about two feet deep was first dug
with posthole augur at an angle Of
about 80 degrees with the surface and
loaded with half stick of 40 per cent
dynamite. This shot makes a hole
about two feet deep and three feet in
diameter, leaving the earth In the
bottom pulverized suitably for plant
ing. 1t is stated that two men can
thus excavate $50 holes per ten-hour
day at cost of about IA cents per
