FORMS BE MADE IN
 MEXICO
(By Associated Press)

JUAREZ, April 19. Official mo- tice has been received here from the war department at Mexico City by General Jose Carlos Murguia, of the opening of uniform and shoe factory at Tacubaya, Mexico, to supply the Mexican federal army with uniforms and shoes.
 The uniform factory will have a ca pacity of 1,500 complete uniforms daily and the shoe factory is expected to produce an equal number of pairs of shoes for the army. In the past it has been necessary to buy quantities of uniforms and shoes from the United States.
 The uniforms now worn by the de factor army resemble those worn by the United States army. The uniform of the private soldiers is made of a cloth closely resembling khaki and a soft felt hat, similar in shape and texture to the American soldiers campaign hat. Instead of shoes the typical Mexican guarache, or sandal is now worn by a majority of the pri- vate soldiers, as the price of shoes is almost prohibitive.

PRoSPEcToRS CASTING EYES
 IN DIRECTION OF SIBERIA.

The next big gold rush, Alaska pros. pectors say, will be in Siberia.
 That that country is rich in gold, especially that portion opposite Nome, is we'll known. Many Alaska pros pectors can verify that from actual knowledge. Jaffet Linderberg found tremendous quantities of it on Siber- ian beaches, but the Russian govern ment turned his pockets inside out, and he left his placers and returned to Nome.
 Other Alaska prospectors who visit ed the country had similar experi- enees. They found gold in-plenty, but they found also the emissaries of the Czar, and set of laws which plum dered the prospector and practically prohibited mining.
 It is generally believed that the re- volution will be followed by the pas sage by the duma of favorable min ng laws, and many residents of this territory who have followed prospecting all their lives, expect to make for that country whenever the expected changes occur.

ALASkANS READY TO ID THEIR
 DUTY

Speaking for the people eof Alaska to show that they are ready and willing to do their part in the conflict which now confronts the nation. the terri torial legislature has passed the fol. lowing resolution:
 The legislature of the territory of Alaska in session assembled herewith extends to the president of the United States, the senate and the house of representatives it's approval of the passage of the resolution that a state of war exists" between the United States and the German empire; and we, the people of Alaska, pledge our unfaltering support and signify our readiness, Loyalty and periodically, to stand in line with the American peo- pie in maintaining the country's hon. or and defending the principles of civilization.
 "The attitude of the people of Alas ka is clearly expressed in the words of our governor, spoken upon the de- claration of war.
 This is time In the history of our country which calls for self-sacrifice and devotion to those democratic in- stitutions and ideals which have been a beacon light to the oppressed of all nations: and now. in obedience to those principles of right and truth and justice. in the struggle now being waged between the forces of demo- cracy and autocracy, the citizens of this great republic may be depended upon to act well their part. There should be no division of sentiment, but each and all, laying aside every consideration of partisanism, should remember that they are called upon to defend those great truths upon which this republic was founded, and should uphold and strengthen the hands of the president and his admin istration in the international crisis that has been forced upon the coun- try. The time for action is here, and I am sure that the people of Alaska stand ready to do their part, and to do 1t we'll The fires of patriotism have been kindled anew, and Alaskans are ready to respond whenever duty calls
