FIRST YEAR OF THE
WAR ON THE SEA


At the end Of the first year
OF war not German lighting
craft, except submarines, is
known to be at large outside
the Baltic sea. The Austrian
warships are confined to the up
per Adriatic and the Turkish
fleet to the Sea of Marmora
and adjacent straits. The mer-
chant marine Of the central
European powers has disap-
peared utterly from the ocean
highways. Sixty million dol
lars worth Of German shipping
lies idle. in the docks of New
York. while several times as
much is bottled up elsewhere.
At the same time the German
submarines have inflicted enor-
nous losses of allied shipping.
While both sides have prob
ably concealed many losses,
the following is a fairly accu-
date summary Of the number
Of craft which have been de-
stroyed:

colin called them home saying that
flre Henry Morissey. Of Florence.
had been caught In the rain and was
there wanting to see them.
The interim afforded gave the
crowd a chance to go from the w.
u McCarron home up to whalen's.
As Mr.. and Mrs. whalen reached
their house they found it shrouded
In darkness but the minute they op-
ened the door the lights went on and
tEsy received the surprise and fright
of their lives when two rooms full
OF people laughed at them.
On the way over Mrs McCarron
was carrying galvanized coffee pot
and some dishes when her foot
struck an obstruction throwing her TO

tacie. II wasn't ft for coftee-maixing
After that and the dishes also had a

BAXTER THROWS GAUNLET
 ID MARCONI WIRELESS

Because of an advance in charges which Vice President R. w. Baxter says would approximately double the cost of the service, the Alaska Steam ship Company, has thrown the gaunt- let to the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company and in the future will at tempt to obey the government laws pertaining to safety at sea with inde- pendently owned apparatus and it's own employees.
 With apparatus and operators furn- ished by private concern the Alaska Steamship boats are being equipped, and the attempt of Mir. Baxter to beat the worlds most powerful concern at it's own game will be watched with in. terest
 The Marconi company, with stations on both coasts. has had a monopoly on wireless service between shore stu. tions and ships at sea, and no wireless company in this country has success. fully met is competition.
 Vice-President Baxter explained that the vessels of the Alaska Steamship Company would work with govern ment stations of the United States and Canada. and the Marconi com. pany, which he said would be compell. ed to receive and transmit messages from ships at sea.

PASS NOT POOR MANI $
 CAMP

The rich gold strike at Broad Pass on the line of the survey of the pro posed government railroad from Sc ward to Fairbanks, led c. c. Grimes, ol Milwaukee, Or, a miner of 20 years experiences in Alaska, to give out the following information, hoping to pre- vent men unfamiliar with the district from making an unnecessary trir says the Portland Oregonian.
 Broad Pass" said MT. Grimes, "is the most talked-of place in Alaska at present, owing to the richness of it's claims; but it is not a poor mans country, being a base, instead of placer district, which means that smelting must be done. No prospec. tor should be fooled
 Broad Pass is about 300 miles from Seward. In summer it may be reached via Cook Inlet and the Susitna river and an overland trip of 150 miles. In winter, the best time to go to the dig. gings, it is reached by dog teams Five dogs, costing $50 each, can pull 75o pounds 10 miles a day Fifteen hundred pounds of supplies will last a man all winter. This necessitates relaying the supplies.
 Broad Pass has two ledges, from from 200 to 25O feet in width, and sev. eral miles long. Two brothers named Wells have known of this strike for seven years, living on it all that time supporting themselves by trapping and selling out for $15O.OOO. The entire ledge Is ore worth about $15 a ton, but Wells Bros. had a streak IA feet wide which ran s25O a ton.
 The ore cannot be used until the railroad brings machinery with which to smelt it. To stake out a claim would mean nothing. Big corpora, tions, such as the Guggenheims, buy only tracts, or groups, of claims, and the returns from this section obviously will not be available for a long time
 Nevertheless, I predict that from 300 to 800 persons will go to Broad Pass from Alaska coast cities in Feb ruary. Knik Is the place where as says are made and provisions may be obtained there at prices about the same as in Seattle

PLACER GROUND VALDEZ GREEK
 |S RICH

George w. Sias, of the Valdez creek Placer Mining Company, which ex- pended s1O0,OOO last summer in install ing machinery on their placer holdings in the interior, is now at his home in Boston, where he gave out the follow ing interview:
 We didn't have time to clean out the bedrock where estimated there is good $100,000, but from the boxes we took out $4,2OO, and in doing as- sessment work on our claim we pick, ed up $7,OOO, more than $3,O0O of which was in nuggets, some of which would run as high as s6O. Some days work would yield as much as $10O per man. Our 36-inch pipe line is over a mile long and is under a 35O-foot head. It carries more than 2,O0O min CTS inches of water every twnnty-four hours.
 'In Alaska they figure on five cubic yards of gravel washed per miners inch, but if we do next season only three cubic pards per inch each day We should wash 6,OOO yards a day. This gravel bank has returned $2.7O per cubic yard. but estimated at only $1 per yard. we shall be making next year all the money we could ask for We have spent over $7OO,OOO in the Val dez creek properties, and expect to be taking out more than that every year
 "The working time in Alaska for Ihydraulicing Is about 15O days. The Guggenheims. operating about 1OC miles west of us. took out $3,Oa0, ,00C this season dredging, but We can hy draulic cheaper than they can dredge l expect in few years to be return ing million gold a year fro our prop erty."

TRAIL I R A ' [ | WILL SOON BE
 HEAVY

Satisfied that Fairbanks will be the big town of the Interior and that the construction of the railroad will start here next spring, Ed. Terrill, who has been in the states and on the coast for the past few years, returned to Fairbanks last night, accompanied by two travelling companions, who are here for the first time,
 In Southeastern Alaska, especially at Juneau, the people think that the Interior is sure to have a good sea son this year Everybody feels that the railroad will come to Fairbanks, and that construction will start here as well as on the coast.
 Terrill states that there will be many people coming over the trail within a short time, as soon as the days begin to get longer, as all want to be here to get in on the ground noor when construction starts. In the s'ates, the people think about as they do along the coast of Alaska, and all are looking toward Fairbanks with longing eyes.
 While coming over the trail, Ter Till heard that another man had been found near Beaver Dam, frozen to death, within the last few days. There was no certainty about the report, and 1t Is doubtful if the death occur red, as nothing was heard of it here, either from Valdez or from any point along the trail.-Fairbank Times.
