ENORMOUS COMPRESSOR m
 STARTS SEPTEMBER Il

Early next week the big new com. pressor will be tried out at Persever. ance mine, and will give to the mine a total capacity of ninety machine drills, increasing the work of the Thane mill from 6,OO0 tons to 10000 tons.
 About six weeks ago the installa- ton of the compressor was begun by Master Mechanic Fred Stevenson, who had charge of the work, and the huge machine will be put into actual operation September 18th. The com pressor is of the Norberg type, of constant capacity and is direct-driv en synchronous motor coupled direct y with the shaft. This type of com- pressor does away with the necessity for belts or ropes and is consequently of much higher degree of efficiency than the belt-driven type. With capacity of 2S6O cubic feet of free air per minute the machine will oper- ate 30 machine drills, giving the mi inc total of 90 drills, and total com pressor capacity of 5000 cubic feet of free air per minute.
 This compressor is the second of its type to be installed by the Alaska Gastineau company and will supply sufficient pressure to take care of the work of the mine for an extended period of time. These two compress COTS are the only two of their sort n the territory, the belt-drive var 'ety being in general use. Both com pressors are air started the firse being # the variably capacity and the sec ,nd of constantcapacity The motor 3f the new machine has capacity of 56O horse power. 4

Fifty dredges in operation on the Seward Peninsula is the prediction of several of the placer operators in the Nome district who state that there is no question of the future of the dredging industry in that section. Last year AZ dredges operated successfully on the peninsula and this year two more are to be installed and by the end of the year it is expected that 50 will have been constructed. The new est enterprise to arrange for the in stallation of dredge on the penin- sula is that of A. J. Jormauth and associates of New York. They will in- stall a 5-cu.ft. bucket Bucyrus' gold dredge on Cripple Creek 12 miles from Nome. The machinery is to be shipped north this fall so that the dredge can be put up next spring where they have secured several miles of good placer ground which will he worked systematically.

VALDEZ COUNCIL
 BLOCKS PROGRESS

All over Alaska people are enjoy ing good laugh at tine expense of q few of the insurgent citizens of Val
 dez in their efforts to make the Municipal dock pay. The history of this dock is too well known to need repetition. It has never been in use by the steamship companies and has only been utilized for the mosquito fleet in purely local traffic. Follow ing the fire the Valdez Dock Co.,, which is owned by J. M. Lathrop, q former citizen of Valdez who for many years was prominently identified with the upbuilding of that town, at once ordered material with which to rebuild the dock destroyed by the fire. Immediately thereafter the Com mon Council of the town notified J. c. Martin, agent md manager of the dock, that at meeting of the Coun- cil a motion was made and passed by unanimous vote of those present, 'instructing the mayor to notify the dock company that it had no author ity to rebuild. Such notice was serv- ed upon the dock company but no at tention was paid to the matter and the work continued. The mayor fur ther notified the company that in constructing it's dock it was commit ting tresspass and creating public nuisance and thereupon ordered the town officials to close the street lead ing to the dock until such time as the illegal structure might be removed.
 Still later an ordinance was intro duced defining the harbor limits of the municipality of the town of Val dez and providing the most unheard of regulations governing the use of landings. docks and wharves which, in effect, sought to force all steam ships to the Municipal dock and mak- ing it misdemeanor and unlawful to tie up or do business with the old es-

THOMAS EDISON AND
 WARFARE OF THE FUTURE

The possibilities of chemistry and electricity have hardly yet been toucl ed upon in modern warfare. That is the opinion of MT. Edison, the cleo triclal wizard. sPrimitive man," he said, in recent interview. "fough, with clubs and stones. Then it was swords and javelins, and later bullets and boyonets. When this war be- gan, it was shot and shell and high explosives. Now they have only just made beginning with burning liquids and poisonous gases. The warfare of the future is going to be more and more matter of chemistry and cleo tricity. There is no knowing where it will end."
 In Ellison s opinion wars of the future will be far more terrible than the present conflict. Armies will fight with germs and kill off whole populations by disease. An entire country might be infected with bu bonic plague, for instance. Electricity will be used for destroying stores and ammunition and setting off high ex. plosives at a distance by wireless
 "Nei.her should I be surprised, J says Mir. Edison, "to see great change come about in ship construc tion, and you may be sure some way will be found to offset the torpedo A ship might be so constructed that ii would not sink after being hit.''
 MT. Edison confesses that he could invent something more deally than gas bombs. ''But ;" he says, "l can't get myself to work on any such stuff as that. I don't want to de stroy life; I want to make the world better place to live in. But f the United States gets dragged into this war, and is attacked, I will helI to make war worse.'
 Mir. Edison has just recently been appointed chairman of a war inven tions committee. and we may look fo' some startling j.icas soon.-Ex.

tablished Valdez Docke Co. This re- markable ordinance was introduced in the Council and permission was ask. ed for unanimous consent to give it it's three legal readings and pass il immediately. This, however twas no, done and it was given it's first read ing, several of the Councilmen refns- ing to attend the meetings. Both the Valdez dock and the City dock are not within the town limits, each dock being reached by an approach from the city.
 No attention was paid to the matter nor will the Valdez Dock Co.,, nor any of the steamships pay attention to the remarkable attempt to block progress in it's own town. Those responsible for the effort are F. M. Boyle, Mayor; K. P. King, Ross Hockey, V. von Gunther, o. P. Hubbard. formerly of Nome; and some others. In jus. tice to the always patriotic and dis tinguished citizens of Valdez, they are heartily against this attempt to pre- vent in the most fragrant manner the operation of steamship business which could only result in loss and delay in the rebuilding of that city. Com ing at a time when the steamship lines were seriously considering with drawal from the Valdez Route, owing to the fact that such route has not paid for long time, this attempt on the part of the misguided councilmen and antics to work out special per sonal grudge against the owner of the Valdez Dock is much to be regret ted.
 Valdez is in a serious predicament at present and needs all the upbuild- ing and development it can possibly secure and to take an action at a critical moment when the curtailment of it's steamship service is under dis cussion, it looks as if these men. re- sponsible for the outrage, are trying to ruin their own town and drive steamships away. Owing to the fact that the legal status of the case is quite clear in giving rights to the dock owner, nothing can possibly be accomplished but the effort has cre- ated no end of talk and those respon- sible are being severely condemned while the ridiculous effort is being regarded as one of the best jokes of the summer Railway & Marine News,
