SEWARD, July 22.-The big dredge on Cache creek is now erect ed and ready for operation. It has already dug little. but, as usual in such cases, some Improvements are to be made that will take a few days before the operations are started permanently. In a letter to James R. Hayden, J. C. Murray eX presses the greatest confidence in the richness of that district. The work of getting the dredge to the scene of operations overland was a gigantic task, no roads being avail able. Mining men are now watch ing the result of the operations with the greatest interest, as they are bound to exercise strong influ- ence on the future of this part of Alaska as dredging country.

 The big sloop Columbine. owned by Al G. Sepulveda, of the South Coast Yacht club, returns with the Hotel Del Coronado trophy, which she has won three times. The capa ble "skippering" of Capt.

 The Flagship Vite, Commodore Ben r. Weston, Of the South Coast club, also had a successful trip south, as did Commodore John Bar neson's schooner yacht Edris. Com modore Barneson is the head of the San Francisco Yacht club and an experienced skipper The Edris cap tured the cup offered by the San Diego Yacht club for auxiliary yachts.

OF A SPORTING NATURE

The Athletics. after running up against the Browns and breaking their losing streak got back in their stride again and lost their two a day with clock-like regularity.
 Fielder Jones Is counting on the Mackmen to boost him into first division. This would be all right if it weren't for the fact that Con nie is playing no favorites in the distribution of his fayors.
 Jack Holland, of the St Joseph club of the Western league, plans next year to abolish the bleachers and provide seats in the grand stand al bleacher prices for the sun gods Ebbets. of Brooklyn, would abolish the bleachers and provide seats in the grand stand for the sungods at grand stand prices. All that is needed for the successful carrying out of the Ebbets plan is the cooperation of the sungods. Would they cooperate? We think not.
 Charles Weinert is honing for an other crack at Jack Dillon, on the plea that when they fought before Weinert had sore heel. Charley's point is well taken. You cant eX- pect guy to make a good running fight when he has a sore heel.
 Charles Weeghman allows the fans at the North Side park to keep the balls knocked into the stands. On the other mitt the Yankee manage ment has the person pinChed who pinches one of their perfectly good balls. Both plans are good in way, but We think the New Workers scheme the more feasible, as it is calculated to discourage petty lar ceny and puts quite a crimp in the overhead.
 Hardly a day passes that one or more of the Yanks doesn't crack a rib or an ankle or something Whether Wild Bill Donovan wins the flag or not he cant deny that his team got the breaks.
