SHORTAGE OF
 LABOR NOTED

The steam shovel at Indian creek on Turnagain arm, working in com pact clay and gravel, is making good progress. Considering the shortage of labor, al lstation contractors, with one or two exceptions, are making satis- factory headway. Three eight-hour shifts are working on the south end of the big cut at Sheep creek, and one shift is engaged on the north end. Most of the material excavated is re- quired on the fill south of the cut.
 Between Potter creek and Mile 100 Commission force of thirty men is raising fills which had settled since first placed. At Mile 99 construction work was delayed somewhat through part of the forie being engaged in dismantling the hoist engine and boil CT and transferring it to barge for shipment. A piledriver is being as Sembled at Anchorage shops and will be used in driving the Indian creek bridge.
 All clearing bas been practically completed within the district.

EIDE INSPECTS
 ROAD WORK IN
 UPPERCOUNTRY
Extensive Improvements Being Made by Alaska Road Commission
 Near Matanuska

Anton Eide, superintendent of wag- on road work for the Alaska Road Commission in this section, is now making a tour of the proposed road work in the Cache creek district, with Ross Kenny. Before returning Eide will ask for bids on the eight miles of wagon road from Palmer tc Mile 2Gla on the Knik- Willow creek road
 Kenny returned to Anchorage re- gently from the MatanuSka farming district where he surveyed the Palm CT road and set the center stakes. The road will be twenty feet wide and traverSeS a thickly-Settled farming community.
 The contract calls for stumpage, stripping the moss and putting the road in shape for grading. Bids will be asked for within a few days and the contract let at once so that the road can be put in frSt-clasS condition for travel as soon as possible.
 The route of the road was selected only after careful investigation with the view of serving the most farmers and at the same time along practical building lines. Kenny reports that the farmers are universally satisfied with the route and the attitude of the Alaska Road Commission in the en- deavorS to give the community better wagon road facilities.
 Work on the Knik-Willow creek road is progressing and the work is of a substantial and permanent na- ture. There is a great deal of work to be done on this road, said Kenny, but every effort will be exerted to put the road in shape for the heavy fall freighting.
 Kenny will leave in few days for Talkeetna and select the route for the wagon road into the Cache creek dis trict. The commission will spend in the neighborhood of $5,O00 in prelimi- nary work in the Cache creek district this season and are prepared to do a large amount of necessary work next year, starting as early as convenient,

BARGE BRINGS
 GRADE SPREADER

The Alaskan Engineering Commis sion tug Annie w. is due today with 4O0-ton lighter on which spreadel from the Panama work is being trans ferred from the central division to Seward.
 The barge will take back cargo of 56-pound rail from the old Alaska Northern line, which will be used on sidings. This rail was taken up or the Mile 12 hill and replaced by heav- fer steel. Its use on the central divi' sion saves using the 7O-pound raj where the lighter will serve the same purpose.

THREE MEN ON
 RAFT, SPLASH

Max Burber, John Flanagan and Henry Lundgren, employees of the Commission at Indian river, decided recently to do a little navigating of their own down the Susitna. The trio wanted to get to Dead Horse Hill the quickest way, and no boat being due for some time, decided to build a raft and float down stream.
 They cut a few green spruce logs, made an unstable, morrow raft and figured that they were ready to sail. Though the deck of the raft was awash without any load, they threw on their bedding and baggage and without waiting to eat dinner or take food aboard, took to the stream.
 Assistant Superintendent Reiske left down river next day in a row boat and he had gone only a short distance when he saw distress signals on shore. He put in to the shore and met the three navigators wet and hungry and without raft or posses sions. They had been shipwrecked on bar and were obliged to swim ashore in the cold, swift current. MT. Reiske's arrival was very welcome to the men who were lost and would have suffered without food.
 With Reiske's assistance the men were put on the trail to Dead Horse Hill and they made the rest of the trip on foot.

MINING NOTES
No. 89

It is expected that the output of placer tin from the Seward Peninsu- Ia this year will reach total of 300 tons.
 Theodore Matheson, of Gidlund X Co.,, while being lowered down shaft on their property on Spruce Creek, in the Ruby district, with load of tim Der, fell distance of twenty-five feet to the bottom of the shaft. He was unconscious when picked up, and died the following day from injuries with out having regained consciousness.

 Henry Emhard, of Anchorage, has taken-o the Pearl Group of claims on Archangel creek, in the Willow creek section, and will soon let con tract for 150 feet of development work. The property covers vein of free-milling ore, three feet in width, an assay of which gave returns of $56 per ton.
 -.:-
 Everyone in the Tolovana district has been sluicing, and in most in- stances the cleanups have considerab ly exceeded expectations. Fontas X McKinnon recovered some $19,0O0 in the first cleanup, to their pleasant sur prise; Charles Craig recovered much more than he anticipated; the Love lease showed up amazingly well; the Dutch Kid (Albin Martini had more than he counted on, even considering the huge pans he found at first, run ming from $25 to $95 each. Sampson & Colbert rather exceeded their eX pectations. The Mcintosh boys, after two years of working like beavers, are now in most excellent pay, as good as any on the creek. From Franklin gulch up Livengood there is great industry, as we'll as on the left limit pups, and if the water continues condescending, Livengood will wind up with grand finale this fall. Help is very scarce, and the town is frequently combed for men to work on the claims.

| ton in reply to Charles Dana Gibson,

bonds IN DEMAND
| ON LOCAL EXCHANGE
Hot Weather Apathy Relieved by
L rely Sale of Securities.

Although only twenty shares OF
stock changed hands during yester.
days session Of the Washington
Stock Exchange, demand for bonds
was fairly strong and served to re-
lieve, to some extent, the apathy
which has settled upon trading dur
ing the hot weather. Ten shares of
American National sold at 156 and
ten shares OF American Security and
Trust sold at 56. Washington Rail-
way and Electric As were In good
demand, 1900 selling at TN. In
quiries for American Graphaphone
6s slightly boosted the price. the
first 800 selling at 100, the next
transaction, 500. brought 10oA. and
another 800 sold for 10oS. Another
800 sold at loOH.
Definite plans for the establishment
of an employment bureau will be
made at a meeting which will prob
ably be held the latter part of the
week by the employment council OF
the District Bankers Association, OF
which John Poole, president of the
Federal National Bank, is chairman.
The employment situation among
local banking institutions has grown
so acute that concerted action VIII
be taken at once to remedy existing
conditions, II was said yesterday. In
several banks women are not only
being employed to replace men, but
young men, under draft age. are also
being employed.
The tremendous business being done
by the United States Steel corpora
tion Is disclosed by the statement
of earnings. Despite the huge tax
imposed on total earnings by the
government, its total earnings for the
second quarter of this year were
so. .579. .2O4. About 81 per cent or $751;
91s.S72 has been laid aside to pay
government war taxes.
The usual dividends of TX per cent
on the preferred stock and IL per

with an extra per cent on the COM
