DESCRIBE RUSSIAN REVOLT

Closely guarded dispatches to the
State Department last night told the
story of the revolution which has shaken
the great empire of Russia to its foun-
dations. The Department fatly refused
to make public any reports from Russia,
and simply said. that generally. they con-
frmed the unofficial reports OF the over
turning Of the great bureaucracy which
for centuries has dominated the greatest
nation, In area, in the world.

Grave stories OF scandal and corruption

reaching Washington for some time. and
recently the food situation has been com

to the use Of great amounts OF railroad

MINING AND DREDGING
 EDITION POSTPONED

In answer to numerous inquiries re- lative to the Nuggets annual publica- tion, the Mining and Dredging Edtion the publisher announces that the journal will not appear this fall. After a survey of the situation it has been decided to publish the magazine in the Spring shortly before the opening of navigation and this rule will be fol- lowed in issuing all future editions. The great press of business during the fall months has at all times rendered the task of publishing the magazine one of great difficulty. Not only is it hard to find time to secure tho neces- sary information but in haste and rush marking the last days of the season 1t Is practically impossible to cover the field thoroughly as is desired. It has been the aim of the publishers at all times to make the magazine as full ly comprehensive of the local field as possible, overlooking no item of infor-
 
 nation relative to the mining condi- tions and activities of Seward penin- sula that would be of interest to the public. Although attaining q fair de- gree of success in this respect in the past, the magazine has at all times fallen short of what was desired ow- ing to the impossibilhty of entirely covering the field during the late fall. Under the new plan it will be possible to fully accomplish this purpose. By issuing in the Spring the publisher will have ample opportunity to thoroughly cover every field of endeavor and also avoid all inaccuracies due to haste and te absence of time in which to verify the information secured.
 As in previous years. the Nugget re- quests that readers who possess photos of late mining operations or other views illustrative of the industries and activities of this section kindly per init their use for illustrative purposes Views contributed will be carefully preserved and returned to their owners after half tones are made thcrcfrom.
