A|RSH|P LINE ID THE
 COAST
POSSIBLE DIRlGlBlE BALLOONS MAY PLY BETWEEN HERE
 AND VALDEZ

Considering the rapid strides which are being made with aerial naviga- tion it need be no matter of surprise if either an aeroplane or a drigible balloon should be seen in Fairbanks next summer In fact, it can relia- ply be asserted that the project of establishing an airship line to the coast has received serious consider ation by a syndicate well able to put the scheme in operation should they finally deem it advisable.
 When John Long was Outside last summer he visited the aviation meet ing at Asbury Park and saw the bi- planes, monoplanes and dirigibles do all kinds of fancy stunts up in the air. He was, naturally, very much interested, and, chancing to meet one of the operators of a dirigible Lalloon in a social way, he inquired fully into the possibilities of the ma chine which had given such a won derful exhibition.
 As soon as the balloonist heard that John came from Alaska he was interested at once and inquired as to the feasibility of airship operation i'll the North on commercial basis He was told of the difficulties of reaching the coast and he then ask ed particularly as to the attitudes and other physical features of the country. He was much impressed with the scheme of establishing a line, stating that the trip could very easily be made from Fairbanks to Valdez in twelve hours with the nf machine hn ucp machine was one built purely for commercial purposes, having speed of about twenty-five miles an hour, with it's car heated, enclosed and fitted with comfortable seats. It usually travelled at little more than forty feet from the ground and the danger of the machine falling was infinitesimal To provide against such an accident, besides, it was equipped with wings which could be instantly opened, and which would act as parachute and occasion gradual descent. The car used at Asbury Park was constructed to comfortably accommodate six passengers.
 When MT. Long asked if the ma chimes could be counted on for con- mercial purposes, or if they were not principally for exhibition pur- poses, he was assured that there was absolutely no question as to their coming into general use. The science of aerial navigation was as yet only in it's infancy, he was told, and when it had had chance to reach maturity it would bear the same comparison in regard to usefulness as q man does tO hahy
 MT Longs informant assured him that Alaska had up to that time been overlooked by the aerial travel promoters, but that it was not like ly to be neglected much longer It

MORE REGARDING
 CAME LAW
RlCULTURAl DEPARTMENT ON SUBJECT.

When the Mogeau game case was hefore the commissioners court here Mir. C. H Calhoun, of Cinema. wired 10 Secretary Wilson. of the depart ment of agriculture, asking for his interpretation of the Alaska game law Last week the following let ter was received from T. S Palmen. the assistant chief of the biological department the letter having been referred to him for answer. The letter follows and is self explana- tory
 November h. 1910. MT, C. II Calhoun,
 Postmaster. Cinema. Alaska
 Dear Sir-lOur telegram of No yember :, addressed to the Secretary of Agriculture was duly received and referred to this office. but as it was impossible 10 answer with sufficient !etail within the limits of a tele- gram, particularly in view of the high telegraphic tolls for messages between Washington and Alaska, l am replying by letter am unfor- tunately unable to give you a very satisfactory answer to your question concerning the open season for gam birds in Alaska north of latitude @ degrees because of the ambiguity in the law. Section of the game law cf 1908 provides that:
 Tt shall be unlawful for any person in Alaska to kill any wild game animals or birds. except during the season hereinafter provided: North ot latitude siXty-twO degrees. brown Cdr may Ee killed at any time; -H Q Q, caribou. sheep walrus. and soa lions firm August first to De rem5er ten.h. beth inclusive; south f lati'u1e siXty-,Wo degrees < grouse. ptarmigan shore birds. and waterfowl from September first to March first both inclusive.
 \ strict Interpretation of the law would seem 10 indicate that no open season was provided. but this was evidently not the intention of those "ho framed the bill The act of 1908 was simply an amendment of the act of 1909. and the division of Alaska into two districts north and south cf 62 degrees was primarily 70 provide different seasons for big game. Under the old law a uniform season for game birds was fixed for he whole of Alaska. but in fixing seasons for the northern districts under the new law game birds were evidently inadvertently omitted
 When the governor of Alaska was here last winter We discussed this point and if l remember correctly he decided that under the circum- stances the only thing to do was to consider the season the same for the northern district as for the southern district, as was the case under the cid law. l should pre- fer, however, to have you take this matter up with the governor direct as he is now in charge of the en- tor,emont of the Alaska game law
 Respectfully.

Some of the Causes
 of Boiler Explosions

| the sudden generation of large quan | titles of steam causes a shock whicf the weakened condition of the plate
 cannot withstand. The water may come from the feeding apparatus ol be thrown on the red-hot plates by ebulltion.
 The accumulation of scale prevents l the water from keeping the boiler plates comparatively cool and there i fore results in the same effects as l shortness of water.
 If oil or greasy matter is carried over with the feed water into the i boiler, it will float on the surface until the water is drained of. then i it will settle on the plates. In the course of time, the deposit forms a heavy coating which s very bad conductor of heat and therefore has the same effect as scale. CorrosiOn can occur either on the inside or the outside of a boiler. If 1t takes place on the inside, it is due to air being carried into the boil. CT with the feed water and deposited i upon the plates, thus causing oxida. | tion.
 It is clear that boilers thus weak ened are very liable to rupture al these places. Sometimes it hap pens that an old boiler. apparently in good condition and showing no external signs of weakness, cracks. the reason for which has been trac. ed to a change in the structure of the material.
 It is beyond the scope of this ar ticle to mention all the defective features in the design and ccnstruc- ton of boilers, and therefore onl the defects which occur most fire quenty will be noted.
 Very important is the staying Of flat heads of internally fired boil CTS. Where the stays are tCo weak he heads will bulge out when under steam pressure and spring back again when relieved of the pressure
 his continuous working often lead ing to break. On the other hand II the heads are too rigid the will not allow the hotter tuheS expand sufficiently and a collapse of the latter often results.
 Regarding the resistance to ebul .ition, if water is kept perfectly IuiGt it can be slowly heated so degrees beyond the boiling poin. without increase of pressure. Blu the least disturbance at the surface Will force the water to evaporate suddenly and cause a shock whicl may result in the bursting of tn, boiler. The fact that many explo Sions occur just at the moment of op- ming the steam valve in the morn ing or after the noon hour seems t support this theory. Before openine the valve being closed the water is Iuiet and therefore is able 10 ab- Sorb much more heat than that cor. responding to the pressure shown at the steam gage. But when the valve is opened the sudden efflux of the steam disturbs the surface of the water. and the latter being in a Superheated condition immediately flashes into steam
 Excessive pressure may be caus- ed either by overweighted safety valves or through their not being in working condition due to rust or friction which prevents the move ment of the lever or springs.
 Having described the causes of boiler explosions it may readily be seen that there is nothing obscure re, garding them. and nearly every acci- dent of this kind may be easily ex- plained

VERY BUSY ON TENDERFOOI

Steve Lovejoy has just returned from trip to the Tenderfoot coun- try and reports that there is much industry in evidence in that neck of the woods. The hunt for the lost paystreak is being undertaken with added enthusiasm in the light of recent finds and it is also believed that an entirely new paystreak is soon to be uncovered This last theory is entertained because of the finding on the right limit of excellent prospects, the gold being of an en- tirely different nature to that found on the left limit and other parts of the creek. It not only looks entire ly different but it assays much high CT.
 On Democrat creek, MT. Lovejoy says, the operators have an elegant proposition and it appears at this time that the ground is going to be very big producer Everybody in the camp is satisfied with the out look and there is a probability of a very busy winter.

FRANK W|NDQU|ST
 IS KILLED
AMMAN ON 3 BELOW DOME MEETS DEATH IN BOILER
 EXPLOSION.

By the bursting of a boiler on Tuesday morning Frank Windquist one of the laymen operating on 8 below Dome. was instantly killed. his body being thrown by the force of the explosion for a distance of about 4OG feet The body was much maneled and one arm was torn off While the cause of the explosion is not definitely known it is ascribed to a shortness of water, the glass of the gauge probably having be- come logged.
 At the time of the explosion John Sether and John Larson were in the boilerhouse with Windquist, working at bench at one side of the boiler. The explosion wrecked the front and back of the boiler house and the body of Windquist was driv- en out through the opening in front The other two men, being out of range, were unhurt except that Seth CT burned his face by colliding with hot steam pipe when he went to try to locate the trouble
 An investigation of the boiler, in cluding the pop valve and the steam gauge, which were brought to town. was made and it was found that there was nothing materially wrong The owner of the boiler requested Ed M. Keys, Jr., to make an exam ination of it and c. w. Thrift, an other experienced engineer, also looked it over and found nothing wrong. It was found that only the casting had given away with the aXnlnGInn 'Thnrn ,>1, to the boiler, the one in use being of the hard kind.
 The deceased was native of Sweden. He had been in the camp for number of years engaged in mining, up until a short time ago working for Gus Peterson, the lay man on below Dome. With his brother Dan, and three others, he took lay on the ground when Pe- terson was through and he was en- gagged in working out the pay left behind at the time of his death
