HORSEFLY RUMOR
Stories of Rich Finds Lack Verihca. ton, but the Indications Are
 Good-Much Prospecting

Reliable news as to the progress of de velopment work at Horsefy creek is some what difficult to obtain. Many stories are in circulation as to pay having been found and even the values are given with pre- ciseness that engenders belief in the stories j; but the stories are conflicting and seem to be more in the nature of guesswork than an attempt at the relation of facts.
 There appears to be little doubt, how ever, that the men who are interested ln the new diggings have the utmost faith in the outcome of their work, and look with certainty upon pay being found. Men who were among the first to rush to the creek have returned with outfits and gone serl- ousiy to work to uncover bedrock, and dur ing the past week there has been constant stream of outfits journeying to the new camp.
 On Saturday last Julius Shaffrick, Jay Johnson and the Oregon Kid" left for Horsehy creek to prospect Dawson x Olsen's ground, and on Sunday last Lars Olsen left with hot water thawing pump.
 Al Jones and Tony Tropea went down Saturday to commence work on Byers' claims, and Frank Morgan returned to the creek the same day.
 Bob Rober3on and Wilson returned from Horsehy early in the week, and their re- ports seem to have been satisfactory to those interested with them.
 There is little doubt that with the outfits now at work on the creek it will be but 8 1 short time until its value is determined Statements put in circulation that pros poets showing several feet of gravel which went cents to the pan seem not to be borne out; but that for the work already done the indications are good all who have investigated agree.

KARL THIEL'S PLANS
Seattle PostIntelligencer, Oct. .


 Karl Thiele, the Alaska merchant and trader who lost his complete outfit when the gas schooner P J. Aber was burned to the waters edge September 2S at Juneau, reached Seattle yesterday and has wired lis partners in the North of the disaster so that they may obtain other provisions for the winter. He cabled friends in the ldita- rod to send messenger across the country to the huskokwim river, where his partners are mining. They expect him to return with large supply of provisions for the winter Besides supplies for his partners, MT. Thele's outfit contained 300 tons, which was to have been used to start new trad ing post on the kuskokwim river, fifty miles above Bethel.
 MT. Thele is confident his partners will not suffer sa result of the loss of the P. J. Abler and the cargo of supplies, although it is now so late in the season that any at tempt to reach the Kuskokwim would meet with failure.
 As soon as Thiele can arrange for the sending North in the early spring of an other cargo of supplies he will leave for the Kuskokwim, going in over the road from Seward to the Iditarod and then crossing the divide to the Kuskokwim.

LABOR SPENT ON TRENCHES
 COMPARED WITH PANAMA

PARIS. Oct. PA statistician has just figured that the French soldiers in building Their many lines of trenches have exca- vated twice as much dirt as was taken from the Panama canal.
 This dirt would cover the great Sahara desert to depth of two and half feet and convert this barren region, with the neces- sary water, into one immense garden.
 These figures are supplied by an officer who spent many dull hours in front line trench on the necessary computation.
 Germans and French have both dug rows of sets of trenches, and full 800 miles from Switzerland to the sea. In each set of trenches there are perhaps eight separate individual ditches, while between the sets are stretches of barbed wire said often to be mile in width.
 The trenches are about six feet deep. Be sides these parallel lines there are an enor- nous number of cross or communicating" trenches besides bomb proof shelters, and big underground caves used for many pur- poses-as dining rooms, first aid dressing stations for the wounded, and sleeping places
 All this digging has been done by labor with pick and spade. When it is remem- bered that large steam shovels were used on the Panama canal, the vastness of the work here is understood
 Much of this earth has been put in bags about the size of the ordinary flour sack and used as parapets for the trenches
 It is figured by this same statistician that if all the earth thus dug out were put in such receptacles, 36,O00,00O,000 sacks would be needed Of course, no such num- Der of sacks has been used.
 In Roubaix the German invaders started the French factories making such trench bags. The patriotic women and children rEused to work on the bags. The general in command, as a result, arrested the mayor and more than a hundrd leading manu- facturers and sent them to concentra- tion camp in inner Germany By interna- tional law no enemy has right to force captive population to fight or work against their country.
 The earth thrown from the trenches would form parapet five feet high long enough to inclose the whole French frontier of the north and east and leave enough over to cicEe Italy and encircle the republic of San Marino If thrown into the Darda- nelles the dirt would fill them up.
