BURNSIDE. SAILS FROM SEATTLE
 TUESDAY

Advices have been received from Seattle. stating that the cable ship Burnside will leave Seattle on Febru- ary I5, to begin the work of repair ing the breaks in the government cable. About two weeks ago the cable connecting Alaska with the outside world went out Of commission, a break having occurred north of Sitka, and on Sunday morning last the Seward branch went down.
 Cordova. Valdez and points in in terior Alaska are being served by the navy radio stations. and with the eX- ception of a short time when engine trouble was experienced at Sitka, the service has been good. The break in the line to Seward completely isoates the westward. except when vessels equipped with wireless are in port.
 As the cable ship Burnside was re ported in drydock several weeks ago when a break in the cable occurred near Seattle, it is believed that she is undergoing extensive repairs and possibly receiving new boilers.

 EXPERIMENT

RIO JANEIRO, Feb. F. - The Ger man steamship Ascunsion, which has been interned in this port, today made a daring attempt to violate the terms of the internment and escape to the open sea.

That :he strike or Moore creek. in the Iditarod district promises to be one of the greatest finds for years, is evident from the information brought to Seward by Edward A. Smith, the brother of the discoverer. who arrived direct from the Iditarod. Joe Smith, the discoverer of the pay. is an eXten- sive merchant in Iditarod. but Edward A. is d Fairbanks man. who has his interest in the Panama camp.
 After drilling on Moore creek II has been found that the pay stretches from discovery for a mile down the creek. and the paystreak has already been proven to be at least 225 feet wide, with gravel worth dollar and a quarter to q dollar and six bits to the foot Mir. Smith believes the pay will be 450 feet in width. and if this is so the creek is certain to be one of the greatest in Alaska. The stream has been drilled all over so that the ex tent of the pay cannot be doubted, Mir. Smith owns discovery, and found the pay right there. and fact which is of local interest is that one above discovery is owned by Bennett James, of Seward
