BERNARD SAYS
 OUTLOOK BRIGHT

What with the present high cost of due to the war. optimists are none too plentiful in this neck of the woods just now and there are not few who view with gloomy eyes the pros- poets for the future of the mining industry Until the international status is restored to Q more normal basis, it IS the belief of many that mining development will be greatly retarded, with a resultant decrease in the general volume of industry throughout this section of Alaska. But Ben Bernard, president and general manager of the American Dredge Building and Construction Co. of Seattle, who arrived on the Umatilla the other day. is not among the gloomy prognosticators.
 Mir. Bernard is anything but pessi- mistic about the future of mining in this section and views with particu- larly optimistic eyes the future of the dredging industry.
 Tn his opinion, basel on the large number of inquiries constantly receiv- ed at the offices of the company re- ferrlns 10 conditions on the peninsula. the outlook is very bright indeed.
 Mir. Barnard states th.-t the Inusual conditions prevailing oil the outside make tt very diffic'.'s to secure mate rial ussd in dredge construction, par ticularly the higher grades of man. ganese steel, and for this reason his company has been obliged to postpone construction on two large dredges for delivery this season. One of these machines was to be installed in the Stewart river district and the other near Pierce Falls. Idaho.
 He says that the outlook in the dredge building line was never better and his company is making extensive preparations to increase the capacity of its plant to meet the growing de- mand for dredges as Indicated by the large number of contracts now pend- ing with the company.
 He asserts that the large volume of business in the dredge construction line awaiting the advent of more nor- nal conditions has, further caused his company to decide to confine itself strictly to the building of dredges and to specialize on the smaller sizes with buckets of from two to five cubic feet capacity.
 Mir. Bernard reports that his com pany has taken over the large dredge built or the Sunrise Dredging Co.,. at present located near Seward and Is preparing to dismantle and move 1t to Forty Mile creek where 1t will be operated by Seattle syndicate. Contracts have also been made for the building of two more dredges in the same locality for the same syndicate as Soon as conditions have become more normal in the states.
 He has assumed persnal manage ment of the Alaska American Gold Dredging Co of Seattle. in which his building company is heavily interest ed. This new company will operate

Mir. George F. Kilroy, who has di- rected the journalisticj course of the Nugget for the greater part of the winter, severed his connection with that publication last evening and will devote his time to representing the affairs of the Union Construction Co.,, of San Francisco, with which concern he has been associated for several years.
 His place will be taken by Charles Sanford, the former incumbent of the editorial chair, who returned on the first fleet after sojourn among the orange groves of California.
 MT. Khlroy leaves with the heart fest good wishes of the Nugget force for the success of his future enter prises and his excellent ability as a dispenser of the news as we'll as his pungent wit will undoubtedly be missed by the public.

OLD LADY
FEELING fine
After Taking Four Bottles OF
Cardui, The Woman's Tonic.

Golden, Ill.-"Having used Cardui,
the woman'a tonic, in my family, Tor a
number Of years." writes Mrs. Kate
Metz, Of this town, land always with
such good results, I feel it my duty to
write you about it, SO that you may
publish my letter.
My mother ia living with me, and
she is 81 years old. For the last three
or four years, she has been troubled a
great deal with cramping spells, and
for days at a time, she would have a
revere headache.
She read Of how much Cardui has
helped other m who were sick
and ailing, and decided to give it a
trial. She began taking it three times
a day, and since then has been getting
along gimply fine.
Mother only used four bottles Of
Cardui, but she Is no longer troubled
with the severe headaches, and her
stomach Is 80 much stronger that she
can cat most anything.
We both feel that any lady who is
not strong and well, would be greatly
benefited by the use Of Cardui."

A HERO OF ARIcKAREE is DEAD
In the Battle With Indians Captain
Piley Broke Through and Got

Help.
Captain Allison J. Piley, one of the
last survivors of the battle ship of
Arickaree, famous Indian fight of
1868, died yesterday at his home, 612
South Valley Street, Kansas side.
Captain Jiley had lived in Kansas,
since 1858, and in Kansas City, thir-
ty-five years.
Captain Pliley had lived in Kansas,
the frontier in early days He was one
of the scouts and cavalry officers
that subdued hostile tribes on the
plains of Kansas and Nebraska.
In 1868, Pley was a scout under
Col. George A Forsythe at Fort Hays
Kansas, (now Hays, Kansas.) When
word came of an Indian massacre
near Willow Springs, Col, Forsythe's
command went in pursuit. From the
spot where they found bodies and wa
CONS of emigrants they rode to the
Republican River and met the Indians
where the stream is joined by the
Arickaree, River. The place is where
Haigler, Neb., in Dundy County, now
is. There were about 1900 Indians,
and after a night in camp the little
band Of scouts found themselves sur
rounded on the land side of the camp.
They crossed to Beecher's Island and
intrenched. The Indians attacked per
sistently, wounding twtnty-two of the
scouts. Captain Piley was one of the
four who broke through the Indians
lines and went to Fort Wallace, Kas.,
Tin Wallace County, for aid. The
band finally was rescued.
Captain would have been seventy
three years old April 20. He is sur
vived by his widow, Mrs. Martha PHI
| ley, and seven daughters, Mrs. M. n.
Utter, Mrs. R. o. Strong, Mrs. G. T.
Fry, Mrs, Leslie Bell, Mrs. J. W.
Standler, Mrs. J. H. Winger and Mrs

GERMAN SPIES SAID TO
BE IN CARSON VALLEY

Word has been received from Minden
and Gardnerville sections that several
peculiar and suspicious acts have been
committed there the past few days and
1t is generally accredited to German
activity.
In the hills back of the two places
several fires have been started and
the circumstances were such that they
could not be charged to campers. An
attempt was made also to set fire tn
the Touring mill down there, but Il
was discovered in time to prevent q
confiagration.
II Is also stated that three men, one
travelling on bicycle and the other
two walking. have been seen about
