NEW TYPE OF DREDGEs
 FOR CIRCLE DIGGINGS

Abe Spring, former U. s. commis- sioner at Circle City, passed through Juneau on the City of Seattle yes terday enroute to seattle for the winter Mr. Spring says that the Cir. cle City district is getting ready for the new method of mining in the North. The Berry dredge is lying on the banks of the Yukon at Circle and will be hauled out to Mammoth creek over the trail during the coming winter and be set up read for opera tions in the spring.
 This is a small teBt dredge," said Mir. Spring, land If it is successful dozen others will be installed at once. You see, the pay in the Birch creek diggings lies largely in the hard bedrock. The miners have been try ing to extract the values by hydraulic methods and taking up the bedrock but there has been so much lack of water that operations for any season are extremely problematical. The or dinary dredge will not handle the ex- tremely hard bedrock,of that country, The test dredge that is now being talk en in has been made to handle this bedrock.
 While it is small 1t ls very powerful and designed for work 1t Is to do. Everyone expects 1t to be a success and to be followed by the installation of many others. There Is great deal of ground in the Birch creek section that can be mined this way If the dredge can do the work successfully"
 Mir. Spring is a real old sourdough, having come to Alaska in 1897 He says that Juneau has changed much since he saw 1t last. In 1897 he could only get as far as Juneau on the reg ular boats from Seattle and was com. pelled to take passage on the Rustler from this place to Dyea. This is his first trip to the States in five years.

NELCHINA DISTRICT
 IS VERY QUIET

VALDEZ, Oct. 6.--L, F. Shaw, who was appointed by Judge Brown, to be commissioner at Nelchina when the stampede occurred to that camp last fall, has arrived in Valdez and will be here for few days. He has appoint ed F. B. Burch, well known Seattle attorney, who Is now in Nelchina, his deputy. The latter is reported to be very capable for the position.
 Mir. Shaw states that there are about thirty men in the camp at the present time. Most of the men who stampeded to that section last winter and spring have drifted into other places, but there are a few men who still have faith in Nelchina. While the camp has not developed the big things which were hoped for gold has been found in a number of places and prospectors believe that 1t is as good a place to prospect as any other.
 On Gold creek, in the oshetna dis. trict, Chas. Anderson is reported to have located fair prospects and will further develop his ground. On Reid creek, located by Frank Reid, the we'll known Valdez packer, Reid, Bud Tolson, Andy Berglund and Johnny Corrigan, report they have good pros poets and will also develop their min ing claims.
 On Albert creek, where the find was made which caused the stampede to the district, there are six men work. ing. The owners of Discovery, Olson, Getchel, Kemp and Andeson will take in supplies this winter in preparation for next summers operations. Mo. Cormack and Anderson are also en- deayoring to develop a paystreak.
 Wernchke, Meredith and Bertch, working on tributary of Sleigh creek, report good prospects. Sleigh is a tributary of Crooked creek.
 What promises to be one of the deepest shafts in Alaska is being put to bedrock by Decker and associates. The shaft is now down 19O feet. Sev- eral stratas of gold. bearing gravel have been penetrated and the men are hopeful that they will find good pay on bedrock. They are from Roy. ukuk and are using a small thawer.- Valdez Prospector.

FINDS DEN OF
 BLACK FOXES

VALDEZ, Oct. 7.-Andy Conrad, the Nelchina prospector, is one man in that district who feels that his sum- mer has not been wasted even if he has been unsuccessful in his search for gold. While prospecting in the Tal- keetna mountains few weeks ago, he had the good fortune to come across the den of family of black foxes. The animals showed no fear and Con- rad got close enough to see that the fur was not in prime condition, as it showed a brownish tinge. He was for tunate in locating their den, and has made preparations to take them alive and should realize a good price from some of the fox breeders He will spend the winter trapping in the Tal. keetna mountains.-Yaldez Prospect. or.

RUSH THROUGH BELGIUM
 IN MIND IN 1911

LONDON.-The Belgium govern ment has issued gray book of cor respondence relative to the war. The facts disclosed have been almost com pletely covered by similar British correspondence, but the interesting revelations are made that in 1911 the Belgian government sought to obtain from Germany a declaration that Ger. many had no intention of violating Belgian neutrality.
 The German chancellor replied that although Germany had no such inten' tion, a public declaration to that eff, feet would weaken Germany's mill. tary position by reassuring France, which would in that case concentrate all her forces on the East.
 It was for this reason that no dec. laration of the kind Belgium sought was made in the Reichstag, and this is held to prove that Germany for a long time contemplated dash through Belgium on France.
 It further appears that Belgium made a last attempt to dissuade Ger. many from her enterprise by send ing an intimation to the German gov ernment that it was wrong to infer that France had any intention of vio- lating Belgian neutrality, and further, that even if she did, Belgium would oppose the invaders by a vigorous re. sistence.

Hughes is not eligible for worlds ser ies work. Stallings played with the Brooklyn Nationals. of 1890 as catch CT and was also with Philadelphia Ma tionals as player and later manager, His most recent big league engage ments have been with the Detroit Americans League team of 1901 as outfielder and manager and the New York Americans of 1909 and 1910.
 Hess Evers, Devore and Smith are the only active Braves who were up" there" long enough to be considered regulars in the big show. The chas. ing of Dick" Rudolph and Hank" Gowdy by John McGraw, Zoe" Con- molly by ClarG Griffin and the passing of Charlie" Schmidt from the Yan- kees as a pitcher was due to mex perlence.
 Braves with the big league "pasts" are:
 Mitchell-Boston, Philadelphia, and New York Americans and Brooklyn and Philadelphia Nationals.
 Hess-Cleveland Americans.
 Eyers-Chicago Nationals
 Connolly-Washington Americans.
 Devore-New York, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia Nationals.

 StalIInes Always Winner.
 Stallings has been with more pen. nant winning teams than any of the players. He was a catcher with Stock ton, of the California State League, in 1888, and with the Oakland, (CaD pennant winning team of 1889. In 1891 and 1892 he was with the San Jose (Cal) championship team and in 1895 with Nashville, another flag honored team. The Buffalo club of the pres. ent International League. which he managed, won the championship in 1904 and 1906. But the mirlcal man hasn't gotten into his books as man. ager of major league pennant win Rsag team.
 Evers World Series Guide.
 With the Cubs in 1906, 1907, 1908, and 1910, Johnny" Evers got worlds series experience, although kept from the latter classic by an injury. Fred Mitchell, whose real name is Yapp, but who changed 1t when he figured on the hardships player with that mon- aker would encounter when breaking from the bushes into big league, was with the Athletics in 1902, the first American League pennant winner un- der Connie Mack's regime in Phila- delphia, Josh" Devore was with the Giants of 1911 and 1912.
 Pennant winning experience of the Braves has been confined mostly to minor leagues.

GERMAN PROFESSOR MAKES
 NOVEL JUSTIFICATION

The following extracts from a Ger. man professors Justification for Ger many's war and her violation of the neutrality of Belgium is from a Ger. man newspaper received in Juneau, and translated by William E. Britt:
 German culture and German civilization Is so superior to that of other countries that any steps which now must be taken to se- cure this civilization are justified, and Germany's destiny to become the dominating power in Europe and in the world is so clear and apparent that the common moral laws are too narrow and inede- quate for the guidance of Ger. many at the present time.

IOWA IS AN APPLE STATE

Here is an article are printing for the beneflt
of Iowans 1t calls attention to just product that is
raised in this state We want you to cut this article out
and until of your relatives who have lett
Iowa and gone California back to visit and get
to telling you about how much better California is than
Iowa.
According to the United States census reports, IN
1910 California raised 6335073 bushels of apples Isn't
that wonderful? Isn't that lots of apples? 1t certainly
is and it took lot of and irrigation and advertls
ing and initiation and hot and boosting to 40 It. Ana
we admit that it was immense apple crop. !,
But what we started out to tell you is that While
California did raise big lot of apples it lacked 4llo9o
bushels of raising many apples as Iowa did, because
Iowa's apple crop for 1910 674666S bushels, ana
you living right here in Iowa didn't know It, one OF
the great differences between Iowa and California IS
that the California people know what they raise and
continuously talk about it in loud tones and the Iowa
people don't know what Iowa raises and therefore don't
talk about it at all.
Iowa people can get great deal Of pleasure out Of
studying census statistics and posting themselves so
that they can make California Colorado booster
look mighty cheap by comparison Of figures.
Did YOU know that in 1910 Iowa raised more apples
than California did? Well it did raise nearly half
million bushels more Write letter to your California
friends and tell them about it. Tell your friends in the
state Of Washington that Iowa raised almost three
times as many apples did Washington and more than
three times as many as Oregon
