Sweden to Start
 Embargo on Allies
Associated Press>

LONDON. Aug. 20.-The cor respondent for the London EX- change, telegraphing from Copen- hagen tonight, declares that Swe- den has decided to prohibit the eXportation of news print paper in the future. This is believed to be in retaliation to England, America and the allies for their plan of rationing Sweden and other neutral countries to pre- vent the reshipment of food stuffs to Germany. The cutting off of Sweden's eXporta ton would greatly lessen the news print supply of the world and would be a blow to publishers in allied countries.

KEYS AND SONS ARE MINING ON
 UPPER NENANA

That Keys & Sons are preparing to operate on large scale next summer on Moose creek, a tributary of the Nenana river, is the informa- ton brought to town by Jimmy Haney, the well known quartz pros pector, who has just returned from one of his periodical trips into the Alaska range. They have purchased the interests of Joe Poggi, and will probably put machinery on the ground during the winter for use in opencut operations during the next summer.
 MT. Poggi, it is stated is prepar- ing to leave for the Outside in the near future. He has owned and worked the ground for about ten years, having cleaned up a comfort able amount every summer by em- ploying a few men. He has, how ever, mined by the shoyeling in method, which, the Keys believe, can be improved upon materially by the installation of machinery.
 About the time that the transfer of the ground took place, the high water came and washed out the dam that Poggi had installed This is now being repaired by the new own CTS of the ground, and for that req son it is probable that there will not be much gold come out during the present season.
