 SOON ONMARKET

ANCHORAGE, Oct. l2, (By MaiD. Louis Jensen who left here Septem- Der 10 for the purpose of investigat- ing the reindeer industry around Lake uiamna with a view to obtaining ami mals for meat markets, returned on the power boat Pet. In the larty with Mr. Jensen were Isaac Berg and George Moor
 They landed at uiamna bay on the west shore of the Inlet and proceeded across the portage to the lake, the biggest lake in the territory. They made a complete circuit of the lake to locate reindeer They observed about 1900 herded by the Indians but were unable to find sufficient mum Der of steers to justify slaughtering and bringing a boat down from An chorage for the carcasses.
 While in that section of the country Mir. Jensen learned of herds of rein. deer around Bethel near the mouth ot the Kuskokwim numbering many thou. sands. From Lake Iliamna to the pas, turing grounds of the reindeer by the winter trail is distance of about 25C miles and it is the intention of MT Jensen to go into the Bethel country later in the winter and drive out sev. eral herds. They will be butcherec at Iliamna bay and the dressed prod, uct will be transported to Anchorage by boat.
 MT. Jensen was entirely satisfied with his trip and expects to start fOl the Kuskokwim as soon as the trails permit, which should be about the mid. dle of November.

SERIOUS AFFAIRS

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Additional de- tails of the mutiny of crews on board the German battleships received here indicate the seriousness of in- ternal affairs which are approaching another climax in the Central Powers, according to opinions expressed here.
 After three of the ringleaders of the mutineers who headed for Nor way with the battleship Nurneberg, intending to intern her, had been shot, Emperor William having made a spe- cial visit to Wilhelmshaven to inquire into the conditions, the other mutt neers were given sentence aggregating 200 years penal servitude.
 Other than the reports received from Amsterdam and Petrograd a Copenhagen dispatch says reports of a revolutionary outbreak aboard Ger man warships at Wilhelmshaven oc- cured about six weeks ago, the up- rising being suppressed with the greatest difficulty
 The Copenhagen dispatch also re- ports there have been numerous out breaks amongst the soldiers at the front of most grave character.
 The fact that some of the mutin- eers of the Nmneberg were saved from being shot only after the I'm. perial Chancellor had pleaded with the Kaiser for their lives, is taken as a further indication of the serious ness of the internal situation.

PETROGRAD, Oct. IT, - lIutiny also was reported on the German bat tleship Numeberg, whose crew while at sea seized the officers and started in the direction of Norway with the object of internment of the ship. They were overtaken by the destroyers and forced to surrender.
 Emperor William went to Wilhelms- haven and ordered that every one of the seven mutineers be shot Chan ccllor Michaelis protested with the re- suit that only three were shot.
 The men said they revolted because the food was bad
