RalLS.
italy May Enter War.
II has been generally understood In
Rome that II the Albanian question
developed to the point where italy
would be compelled TO intervene by
landing troops and occupying any
part OF the territory OF that Balkan
territory. Italy's active participation
in the general war would be certain.
italian troops were sent TO that re-
gion several weeks ago and took pos
session OF the island OF Saseno. off
Avlona. but it was explained official-
ly at that time that that was not "ac-
tual Intervention" in the Balkans.
ROME. Dec. 26.-An official dis
patch sent by wireless from the Ital-
ian warship Misurata at Durazzo says
that the Albanian rebels at Tirana are
threatening to move agaist the gov
ernment OF Essad Pasha who IS
friendly TO Italy.
Revolutionary Movement Spreading.
Essad Is about to proceed 10 Dibra.
Meanwhile he has sent a supply Of

Previous Expedition UnwarlIle.
Italian naval forces occupied Av-
Iona on October 26, but the expedition
was in the nature of a relief and
sanitary organization, which purposed
to aid the large population which had
taken refuge in the city to escape the
prosecutions OF the insurgents. Ev-
erything was done by the italian gov
ernment to remove from the exnedi-
tion anything savoring Of political or
territorial occupation. Pains were ta-
ken to show that the steps taken by
Italy were merely for the purpose OF
seeing that the decision OF the Lon
don conference creating an autono-
nous Albania were carried out.

ROAD WORK MOVES
 IN Hs~iNTERIoR

Owing to several bad washouts due to the heavy rains that have pre- vailed on the trail during the last month, John zug, superintendent oi the Alaska road commission, is al Richardson now, inspecting the dam age and making arrangements for the necessary repairs.
 According to reports received by the local office of the road commis sion, Colonel Richardson was to have left the coast during the early part of this week in the new government auto truck, which was built espe' cially for service on the trail. This machine is to be left in Fairbanks for the use of the commission at this end of the trail, according to announcement made at Valdez.
 At the 21-mile post on the Valdez trail, Abe McKinnon is working a small crew, and Is expected to finish the work within a few days. His future movements will be governed by MT. Zug upon his return to town
 Small crews are working In the Circle and Ruby districts now, and a few men are repairing bridges and some of the trails near Eureka, in the Hot Springs district.
 There is no work going on within the immediate vicinity of Fairbanks and 1t is not likely that any will be started this year, except to make any repairs that may become necessary Fairbanks Times.

CROWCREEK MINE TO
 PRODUCE S3OO,O

SEWARD, Aug. 6.-That the Crow creek property which Dick Dawson and his associates are now operating Is by far the greatest mine of it's kind in Alaska is the verdict of Harry Els worth who returned after having care fully examined it "Cold turkey mon- ey" is the phrase by which Mir. Daw- son describes the $SO,OO0 which they have taken out this year. By this he means that 1t is a sort of unexpected luxury as 1t is altogether in addition to what they had expected. They got 1t before they had reached the ground where they expect their real cleanup.
 Three hundred thousand dollars is the amount at which Mir. Ellsworth estimates the probable cleanup this year on the property unless some un- forseen drawback should come. More than this; Harry says that there is work enough in sight for more than a hundred years.
 To give an idea of what that mine Is 1t need only be said that the pit is 1900 feet long by 50 to PAS feet in depth. In other words it is a regular canyon. One Hume is five feet wide by four in depth and Mir. Ellsworth estimates the amount of water in use at 2,200 inches. The giant in use in the main pit is an inch under a 32O pounds pressure.
 The preparations for the operations next year will, perhaps, cost from $25,OOO to S3O.OOO. There will be built a saw mill, electric light plant, dam, compressor and other im- provements.
 There is another nozzle which is let run wild in pit No. g. It works away without guidance and takes out money all the time. The paystreak runs to that pit-Seward Gateway.

CORDOVAN SAYS
 DELEGATE CHANGES

If there is any man in Cordova who is inclined to take a pessimistic view of the future of this section of Alas ka, he should have a half hours con versation with D. A. Mckenzie. This gentleman, who has just returned from a lengthy stay in Washington city, literally has chunks of optimism to pass around. He states that senti. ment is veering around so that now it is almost a certainty that the trunk line railroad to the interior will run from Chitina Even Delegate Wicker sham has come to believe that if the road is to have it's interior terminus at Fairbanks that 1t must run from Chitina, instead of from the west ward, as he at first advocated. Then MT. Mckenzie feels certain that after the November elections certain coal patents in the Boring field will issue to claimants Also that a much im- proved and workable coal leasing measure will be introduced into Con- gress after reconvening in December It will be made an administration measure and will be rushed through, And that will mean the early con struction next year of a branch line railroad from the c. R. & N. w. Ky, connecting at Mile 3S to the Boring fields. And that would be followed by the establishment in this neighbor- hood of huge coal bunkers, naval coaling station ard big shelter. All of which would tend to assure the growth and permanency of Cordova and the Copper River country.-Cor- doYa Alaskan.

EXPERIMENT FARM
 CONTINUES TO GROW

Gradually expanding, and each year growing a few acres larger, the gov. ernment experimental station is to take another extension within the next few weeks, according to J. w. Neal, the superintendent of the in. sdtution. He has issued call for bids for clearing about 15 acres of land, and expects to have 1t under cultivation next spring.
 The bidders for the work will be entertained at the government farm next Wednesday afternoon, between the hours of and o'clock. Those who wish to bid on the work are cautioned not to come at any other time, as their proposals will not be entertained if they do.
 The plot to be cleared is on the hillside near Easter Siding, adjoining the ground already under cultivation.
 In speaking of the coming fair here and of the exhibits that are to be sent to San Francisco, Mir. Neal said that he is preparing for the events, and he expects to have some fine specimens for show purposes.
 The grain does not promise to be as tall as in some former years, ow- ing to the scarcity of rain during the early part of the season, but it will be a very creditable showing, unless something unforeseen hap pens.
 Like the farmers of the district, Mir. Neal thinks that substantial prizes should be offered for the ex. hibits at the fair, as it would be an incentive for the ranchers to put forth greater efforts for the contest The government official states that he has visited but very few of the farms in the district this year, but those that he has seen are very en. couraging to the owners and to the department of agrieulture.-Fairbanks Times.

READING ROOM
 FORMALLY OPENED

Juneau society was out in force last night at the formal opening of the new reading room for the Juneau public library that is established at 222 Third street. The Juneau Draper club, which has been very active in raising funds for the new library and which estab- lished the new reading rooms for the library, kept open house and received from to 10:30. There was Q con stant stream of visitors between the hours mentioned. In the inner room Mrs. P. J. Malone and Mrs. Charles Goldtsein poured tea and coffee while other members of the club served and received visitors. The table was taste. fully decorated with wild flowers and ferns.
 An Edison, kindly loaned by the Ju. neau Music House, furnished music.
 The new reading rooms are certain to become fayorite spot for disposing of an idle hour, both to residents as well as strangers within the city. They are finely finished and tastefully fur nished. The magazine stands and newspaper files are already supplied with many publications.
 The Draper club membership in cludes the following: Miss Andrews, Mrs. Beattie, Mrs. Case, Mrs. Crow ther Mrs. Daniels, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Goldstein, Mrs. Gray, Mrs. Harvey, Mrs. Howdeshell.

INTERIOR ALASKA
 WELCOMES CAPITAL

One of the most encouraging things in the news of the last week was the announcement that Col. R. W. L. stey. enson and party of five other min. ing engineers are on their way to Fairbanks to establish offices here They are coming, 1t is understood, by way of Portage Bay, and will look over the country between the latter point and this city on their way here.
 It seems that the construction of the government railroad to Fairbanks has given the mining people of the Out side new interest in the quartz pros poets here, and if the eminent engin- eers find something here that suits them, 1t is almost certain that they will be able to secure plenty of money for development work
 Fake mining schemes of the last few years have given legitimate min ing promotion a serious setback, and 1t is hard to overcome the popular feeling that to invest in mining stock ID lO NlIOM dMdy luOuty. IOWCNcIgI the public has confidence in responsi- ble mining engineers, and their en. dorsement of prospect in nearly ev- cry case assures financial support for it.
 Up to the present time there has not been dollar of Outside capital spent here in the development of any of the promising quartz prospects of the district This has been due large ly to the local conditions. one of which is the difficulty of transporta- tion of supplies and machinery as they are needed.
 Experienced miners in this district assert that if the prospects can be developed properly, valuable proper ties of permanent nature can be un- covered, but the development will be expensive and in many cases beyond the ability of their present onwers.
 The announced purpose of the min ing engineers who are headed this way is to take over and develop such pros poets as may be found to be promis- ing. If they succeed in developing one permanent mine, they will estab- fish confidence here that will mean everything to the mining future of Fairbanks.--Fairbanks Citizen.

TWO SUNRISE BUILDINGS BURN

SEWARD, Aug. 6. - A telephone message received at Mile S4 from Col. Revelle contains the information that a big fire has occurred at Sunrise which has destroyed the Roll store and also the first saloon building ever erected there. The Roll store was formerly the Alaska Commercial com pany's building. The fire began in that building and is said to have been afire by some one unknown, whether with malice or not is left unsaid. There was very little stock in the store at the time of the fire as Roll had recently moved to Hope.
 Much difficulty was experienced in the work of saving the whole town but the fire was at last confined to the two buildings mentioned, - Seward Gateway.

The shipment of gold made on the last Victoria makes a very good show ing for Nome as compared to the corresponding 1913 shipment. Last year the first shipment of gold was made on July ninth and amounted to $542,OOO. The first shipment this year was made on July fourteenth and amounted to s555.OOO. Both these shipments represented the cleanup of the winter dumps and the early spring run. The lateness of the season this year has probably reduced the spring shipment below the real output of the camp as many operators have not yet brought in their gold to the banks.-- Nome Nugget.

ADMISSION
DAKOTA FARMER
BOOSTS PANAMA

*
 What do you think the farmers of North Dakota could do with Panama valley?" a News.Miner reporter asked George M. Senter this morning. Mir. Senter and his wife came to Fair banks q month ago partly on business and partly to look over the country and will return to their home in North Dakota within the next ten days prob ably.
 q think they could make success of farming here" he replied quickly. Your growing season is shorter here than it is in the Dakotas, but your days are longer and l believe that good crops can be matured, once the ground is put in shape. You cannot raise crops the first year, however for the ground has got to be worked and opened up, but when it is there is no reason under the sun why good wheat and oats cannot be raised in the Tan ana valley.
 q was out to the government ex- pertinent farm the other day and their wheat looks as fine and is in as good condition and as far advanced as any at this time of the year in North Da- kota. Rickert's place is an eye-opener and indicates what can be done here if man will develop his farm.
 "Yes, it would seem as though this country will have to be made sue cess agriculturally by the farmers of North Dakota, Minnesota, Canada and other northern districts, for they alone would have patience with the long, cold winters and understand how to prepare for them and to raise hardy crops.
 We shall likely return here to live and when we go back to Dakota will have to answer questions of all kinds I am going to subscribe for the News Miner and furnish my neighbors with information."- n."-Fairbank News-Miner
