 an Alaskan dredge is the construction
 of rock chutes from the grizzly. The
 oversize from the bars goes to a |,
 the branches of which pass on each side of the sayc-all sluice and empty
 in the pond att of the dredge, where
 the stones form dam and prevent the tine from filling the bond under the boat. These chutes are 42-inches wide and lined with manganeSe-steel plates at the points of greatest wear.
 Power is furnished by a 250-h. p. Narrow tubular boiler, burning coal, which is mined locally. A 15O-h. p, Rcaycs engine drives the pumps and dynamo, a I25-h. D. Lidgerwood the digging ladder, and a ooh. D. the vinrhes. The steam from the engines is condensed and returned to the boiler.
 A number ot beds of Ignite out crop on Cache creek and it's tnbutar- ,ys, and from these an ample supply e. .U,l may be obtained at low cost. The company has secured a free-use iu-ayrc permit to mine coal and this summer obtained it's supply from an open-yu, two miles from the dredge. This haul will be obyiated the com ing season, us a contract has been let Co drive entries and 10 open rooms on a 5-foot bed on Cache creek during the winter, so supply will be easily available at convenient point in the sprng. The coal has a long flame and is good for making steam, though the percentage of ash is high. If the company had not owned the steam equipment before the construction of the boat was planned, the situation would have been ideal for an electri- saly-opcrated dredge, the power be- ing generated at the point where the yoa, was mined.
 Agu short, though successful season, the only change planned on ,hc drcdcc is to add a second bull wheel so that the drive will be on both sides of the bucket-line, which it is believed will reduce friction and give the dredge a marked increase in efficiency, with a corresponding de crease in operating cost.

CACHE CREEK DREDGING DETAILS
 GIVEN BY us. MINE INSPECTER

In recent issue of the Mining and
 Scientific Pres, of san Francisco,
 Sumner S, Smith, federal mine in-
 spcctor for Alaska, gives an inform ing article concerning the dredging operations on Cache creek, which is, iu part, as follows:
 During the past spring the Cache
 Creek Dredging company installed a
 drcdge on Cache creek. which is the
 first serious attempt at this type of
 mining in this part of Alaska.
 The drcdgc equipment and timber were assembled at Seattle in June,
 1913, and towcd to Anchorage on the oId sailing vessel Garden City, The stcrn-whecl steamer Lois was also built at Seattle and broueh, to An chorage at the same time under her own steam. as the facilities for hand ling oargcs across Cook inlet and up the SuSitna and Ieuua river were totally inadequate at that time. Al Anchorage, the equipment was trans Icrrcd to bargcs that were pushed up the Susitna and Ycutua rivers Co Nc pougaIl. Here the drcdge-tmbcrs were framed ard during the follow ing winter lDc,cmber to ApriD the entire outfit was hauled on bob-slcds from this point to Cache creek, i2 miles above it's mouth. where the dredgc was assembled this spring and started operations on July :.
 The creek is comparatively shallow, the average depth being approximate ly six feet, so the dredgc was built with a large hull to secure a shallow draft. It is S7 feet long, 54 foot beam and : feet deep. The blanks on the bottom are | by l2, those on the sides $ by I2 and those on the deck 8 by l2. The winch deck is 80 feet above the main deck, and the pilot deck l2 feet above this.
 There are 65 7-cubic feet crose-con- neyted buckets with mangauesc-steel lips; and. while the dredgc has a ca- pa,ity of 5000 cubic yards per 2l hours, the management has bascj its plans on 1000 cubic yards only. on account Of the shallovuess of the ground and the number of bou'dcrs. Though the latter have retarded the speed of digging. they have not prov ed serious hindrancc, as they are not large enough to require special appar atus for handling them. With the present number of buckets, the dredce will dig 30 feet below the water line, though it is improbable that it will be called upon to work at near this depth on this DOT ton of the creek.
 The fine gravel from the bucket falls through an lI-iuch grizzly into a 4>-inch Hume, lOS feet long. The grade of the Hume is adjustable, though the best results are obtained by keeping it at an inclination of about 1 Is inch per foot. The riff Aes are ? by Is capped with 5-S inch manganeSe-steel plates and are set 1 %-4 inches apart. A 6-inch centrif- ugal pump supplies wash water at the grizzly and an 1S-inch centrifugal pump discharges directly to the Hume. The buckets are washed clean by water from two nozzles, the gravel falling to a save-all sluice equipped with Hungarian rifles. This Hume is 1S-inches wide set on a grade of one inch per foot. l,

 BUILD A KINGDOM
Regardless of Changes in GoVern-
 msnt, Says LOTeiey


 Owen R. Love1oy. general secretary of the National Child Labor com mission, gave very instructive and Interesting address on Building a Kingdom" ct the Y. M. c. A. yester- day afternoon. MT. Lovejoy said that
 there has been . radical change in the public mind regarding child labor in tho past twelve years. Business men. charity workers and even school teachers were opposed to child labor |legialation in the beginning but today through the consideration of the in- |terGets of childhood kingdom of |juStice and righteousness is being built in the land.
 The speaker said that every mans Emiseton In life Is to build a Kingdom. Regardless of changes in human gov |ernments or the form they take, every man must build . Kingdom. He told the story of the temptation of Jesus on the mountAin and the possibilities that lay before. him of conqVering the world by the conventional methods and said that he deliberately chose in- stead to build in this world king dom of friendships. of youth. of plenty and of the spirit. He laid em- phasis upon the personal friendship

every man needs in order to build his own character and to serve the conn., munity upon the idealism, the vision, the unlimited energy of youth which would lead the real optimist to be- lieve that he could do greater things than any other man had ever done. He appealed for 8 fair chance to childhood, especially American child hood and urged that child labor should be abolished and constructive educational plans adopted for all children.
 Radical Change in Twelve Years.
 There has been radical change in the public mind in the past twelve years regarding child labor." he said. When we began business, men gen- orally were opposed to child labor legislation, charity workers were 0r- dinarily engaged in hunting up jobs for little children to solve the problem of family distress. school teachers went about the school room with little scissors shipping of the unpromising children and throwing them into the limbo of unskilled labor. No one complained Business got it's cheap labor, charity societies were relieved of part of the burden through the meager wages of working children, the school room was purged of it's dullards. family distress was tenn porarily relieved, and the children never complained-they had been sandbagged into acquiescence.
 Today business men throughout the country have adopted the principle so ably expressed by one of your towns men, Charles F. Smith, several years l~I only inhuman but extravagant and wasteful and realize that business in- terests as we'll as humane interests demand that children shall be proper ly protected.
 Relief agents in enlightened cities no longer hunt up jobs for little chill dren because they recognize that child labor aggravates the problem of family poverty instead of relieving 1t, and the schools have made rad deal advance. Instead of using the little scissors, teachers are now or ganizing ungraded classes and giving special attention to children who are backward or below the normal. Thus we sec through consideration of the interests of childhood a Kingdom q justice and righteousness Is being built in our own land."
 Labor Laws Improved.
 The speaker said that within twelve years every state had either improved it's existing child labor law or passed the first one and that edu- cational laws were greatly improving also. He said that in . land of plenty 1t was inexcusable that we should allow an army of 5AOO0.0O0 illiterates to wander in poverty and ineficAency, and that true progress of national preparedness must first of all demand that ilfiteracy shall be plotted out and that every child shall be given fair chance for the development of sound body and intelligent mind. Without regard to whether a man has personal religious convictions or not, the speaker said the kingdom he must build Is essentially Kingdom of the sspixik and n this the experience
New Britain herald., 1917-03-19

of all men everywhere endorses tho principle Jesus announced. It is Kingdom of character, of personal conviction. of true ambition. It can not be limited by institutions. It Is not divisive but cooperative in spirit and it is significant that although the Great Teacher lived when all the world was at war he found no place for the sword in his plan and selected for his followers an army of build- CTS rather than an army of soldiers. In spite of this element which most Americans today would regard as an element of inexcusable weakness his kingdom has ,outlived all those that dominated the earth while he was upon it. The whole tendency in war ring Europe today indicates that those who have stood for righteousness, jus tice. democracy. the peaceable deve}- opment of national life will ultimately win and that those governments that were first to take the sword shall perish by the sword.

of New Haven, representing the .New Haven roads auditing department, {, and Harry Northwood of the same city. Representative, of the railroads s general ticket department. Instead of a scheme involving conductors in passenger service whereby limited number of unpunched tickets were dis posed of at a low price to a number who stood in" and, In turn, re-sold at 2 worry low price to private patrons with both conductors and agents" reaping a substantial commission, the authorities now have proof. it is in- timated. that tickets, apparently genu inc with serial numbers and forged signatures. have been disposed of in large numbers.
 AS to how much the three now held are supposed to know as to the "in- ner workings' and identity of the .'brains" of the alleged conspiracy, the authorities refuse to state, It is also believed that detectives have been un. able as yet, to locate the printery whore the alleged counterfeit tickets have been made. There is suspicion that 1t is located in this city. Hartford or New Haven. But so clever has been the alleged system, authorities
  ty that it is located in some far-distant city or in . secreted plant established for this sole purpose. According to the admission of some of the author ities, the suspected system" is the most daring and, at the same time, successful that has been unearthed in the criminal world for some time.
 Block of Tickets Reported Found.
 <<r. AAv the report that large block of the alleged counterfeit tickets. ready to be disposcd of through agents, was found in the rear of a centrally-locat- ed block or in one of the rooms searched. Witnesses and authorities are extremely reticent relative to the progress of the investigation.
 Beginning of the investigation and arousing of suspicion was . result of one of the three accused calling on Sam Harris of this city. asking him if he desired to buy one, or more, tick cts for New York at a suspiciously low price. Because he was suspicious of the price, he went to the railroad station to inquire if the tickety was genuine and as to whether he was be- ing made a victim of g bunco game. From this start. unearthing of what officials believe to be one of the biggest conspiracies of its ktud la railroad his- tory had it's incepton.
 The authorities do not admit that tho three accused are more than mere agents or tools. of those high CT up" and the 'brainss' of the al- legged system. An attempt is being made to determine as to how much they really know about the real de- tails and as to whether they have any connection and information as to the alleged conspiracy other than simply disposing of the tickets without in- uuiry as to where they came from or how secured.
 Edward Lipman of this city. cited as a witness, failed to answer to his name today and . capias was ordered
