p. Apart from France there are few de-
.velopments of importance in the war
theatres. The British continue to drive
forward in Mesopotamia but there is a
curious silencve in regard to the Rus
sian armies in that region. An attack
on fairly large scale has been made
by the allies on the Saloniki front but
there is nothing as yet to indicate
whether general offensive is planned
in this region.

In the previous declaration of the
provisional government on April 10, it
was said that free Russia did not aim
at the domination of other nations or
the forcible occupation Of foreign ter

rights of nations to decide their own
destinies and that 1t would safeguard

ION Monday Monsieur Milukoff tele-
phoned the ambassador that an Ital-

on Nevsky Prospect, arousing them
by stating that an Italian named NUM-

to protect the embassy, arresting three
of the crowd and dispensing the others.

John NJ. Riggs, an old-timer and

duced that a movement is on foot to
develop those fields, their existence
being one of the leading arguments
put forth in behalf Of the govern
ments project for building a railroad
in Alaska.
The government railroad in Alaska
is being built upon substantial lines
and as the work progresses permanent
structures are being erected, while the
telephone and telegraph wires closely
follow the graders and track layers.
Seward, just as soon as the gap is
closed, will become the ocean terminal
for the railroad and here will embark
and disembark all passengers and here
will be handled all freight. It is in
evitable, therefore, that all commercial
steamships will soon cease to make
the run to and from Anchorage as
there will he practically no traffic for
them TO handle and to operate under
sucn conditions would mean a tremen-
dous loss. In fact, passengers, ex-
press and mail will be handled be
tween Seward and Anchorage this
winter over the short gap and the lat
ter point will not be so isolated as
heretofore Early next summer it is
expected that through trains will be in
operation from Seward to Anchorage
and the front, at which time Seward
will take on added importance.
The dock at Seward has been i'm
proved. and much work accomplished
in generally lettering all terminal ia
cilities, general Office buildings and
shops
The telegraph and telephone system
is being operated between Seward and
Anchorage and is steadily extended to
the front 1t is already proving boon
to all the people along the route.
The commission operates the entire
city of Anchorage and that place
shows much improvement over last
year while the comparison with its
appearance in the tent town on the
flats two years ago is marked,
A moving picture house with an ex-
pensiye pipe organ, some attractive
residences for officials, an apartment
house with electric light, steam heat,
hot and cold running water, many fine
stores and offices give to the place an
air of prosperity and activity little

stake their claims. After a long trip
they reached the place where the riv-

with cleaning particles of gold. They
at once staked the claims and drove
shaft, being Of the opinion that
where there was so much gold ON the
surface there would be infallibly vast
quantities at bedrock, which was
reached about twelve inches down
Then they discovered that all that
glistens is not gold, for their precious
metal was nothing but mica. On their
return they found a party burning

sion got them to return.

The August number of the Railway

ing the progress made on the railroad
by the Alaskan Engineering Commits
sion and the industries in and about
Seward:
AT Seward the San Juan Company
has built a fine cannery for salmon
and has a cold storage house for fresh
fish. At Mile % "a new mining COM
pany has started work. Here begins
the road to the Sunrise district and
the Alaska Road Commission has be
gun work on the new wagon road
which will prove a feeder to the rail
road. This commission is also cor
structing q fine roadway out of Sew
ard, which is much appreciated
AT Seward also the Midnight Sun

ed for a general fishing business. 1t
is under the direction of Frank G. En-

Tn the interior the commission has

which is to remain as a narrow gauge
for the present. Here the chief scene
of activity is at Neuana where many
improvements have been made and
work is being pushed on the construc-
,.ou Of the Diac to the Neuana coal
fields.
Two Small Mines Opened
Many people for some time have
been burning coal from Alaska mines,
the local supply coming from the Do
merry and the Eska mines. Neither
of these properties is located in the
1Iayanusla field proper, but are some
miles from Chickaloon. They can,
however, supply a limited tonnage and
the commission recently purchased the
Eska mines from William Martin of
Seattle and proposes to develop them
so as to increase the supply this year.
No information was obtainable as
to any big leases in the Matanuska
field proper but from the tenor Of a
