EMBARGO IS REMOVED ON
 MOLYBDENUM

DAWSON, March 20. - Gold Com missioner George Mackenzie uf Daw- son has been advised that Canada has removed the embargo which has exist ed for some time against the export of tungsten and molybdenum from the Dominion. This will be good news in the Yukon, as these ores are found here, and there is a promise that they will add materially to the Yukon ex- ports. Tungsten in particular is com ing to the front here. Scheelite tung- Sten is being mined to considerable extent on Dublin gulch, and wolfra- mite tungsten is obtained on other streams. Some tungsten is held in Dawson for shipment.
 The Canadian government had a limit of something like $13.50 per unit placed on the price it allowed. The price now being offered in the United States is quoted at somewhere twice the sum. An unit is the twentieth part of ton, and it is required by the buyers that the assays show at least so per cent. tungstitic acid. The Dab lin gulch assays show 65 per cent. or more. Licenses must be obtained for export from Canada of tungsten or molybdenum, and permits must be ob- tained from the United States govern ment for taking the metals into that country.

FLANDERS NOW IS INDEPENDENT
 FROM BELGIUM

LONDON, March 20. - A formal announcement of the complete inde- pendence of Flanders" from the rest of Belgium was made in Brussels on January 20, under German patronage, and sham elections have been pro- ceeding throughout the Flemish dis tricts, of new Council of Flanders" l" which is designed, under German guidance, to undertake the civil ad- ministration of district normally containing 4,000,0O0 Flemish people, according to information received here.
 The German newspapers, in reports of the elections, declared that "great enthusiasm" was manifest every where. The Belgian newspapers in Holland, however, declared that the German authorities had the greatest difficulty in suppressing the opposition to the new scheme, and predicted that the elections would in the end serve to unite rather than divide the Belgian nation.

SOLDIERS ARE BURNED ALIVE
 BY MEXICANS

VERA CRUZ, March 20. - Fifty seven government soldiers killed or burned alive after being wounded is the latest exploit of the bandits in this region. An exploring train which pro- cecdet a passenger train from this city enroute to Mexico City was blown up by rebels under the leadership, it is asserted, of Higinio Aguilar near Boca del Monte.
 Surrounded by the outlaws, the es- cort put up a brave fight, but many were killed and wounded. When the fire from the cars slackened, the ban dits poured coal oil on the wreckage, and burned to death the wounded, shooting down those soldiers who fled rom tha flames. Aguilar is said to nave led this attack after being driven by federal troops from the nearby town of Paso del Mache, where his followers are alleged to have committ- ed the usual excesses upon the de- tenSeless inhabitants during their shont occupation of the place.
 Aguilar, who, for long time pro- fessed allegiance to Felix Diaz, is said to have broken with the former dicta- tors nephew some time ago, forcing Diaz to flee from the vicinity of Jal- iScO

SERVICE MUCH IMPROVED FOR
 ALASKA PEOPLE

WASHINGTON, March 20. -(Spe- cial to Gateway). - Delegate Charles 4. Sulzer received word tocay from Assistant Postmaster General Otto Praeger that the Post Office Depart ment has directed the superintendent of the Railway Mail Service in Seattle to notify the postmasters at Fair banks, Panama and Nome of the re- ceipt of mails from those places i'm mediately upon their arrival at Seat tie. This action is in compliance of a request from Mir. Sulzer made in per son and by letter to the Department dated December 2lst. This service is to advise people who have sent lett IFS to the Outside of he tin of their ar- rival, so tl-at they may make calcu lations on that information.
 On account of the circumstance that the wireless service connecting lditarad with the government tele- graph lines belonging to private par ties and tolls would have to be paid by the government if messages were sent to that place, the postmaster at Iditarod will not be notified.
 The Post Office Department also at the request of MT. Sulzcr, has ordered that supplements to the Postal Guide, issued from tire to time for the hene- fit of postmasters, shall be sent to Alaska as first class mail, thus insur- ing more prompt delivery to the post offices in. the interior.

NENANA COAL FIELDS READY
 TO BE LEASED

Acting under the Alaskan coal leaS- inc law. tho interior department is en- deavoring as rapidly as possible to develop the coal resources of this country, with the idea that whatever production is obtained soon will be not only of valuable aid to Alaska, but will also be factor in winning the war
 With production of 5O,OO0 tons in 1917 from the MatanuSka field aud the prospect that this output will he doubled this year, Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane has an rounced that r9,OOO acres of coal land in the Nenana field are now ready fol lease under the provisions of the leas- ing law.
 Accessible Part of Field
 The coal lands, which constitute the most accessible part of the surveyed lands of the Nenana field, extend f!om the Nanana river up the valley of ljg- rite creek for twelve miles. The mouth of the creek iS on the approved survey route of the government rail ,oad under construction between Fair banks and Seward.
 The Alaskan Engineering comm's' sion contemplates the completion of the road from the Panama river to these lards during the next sumr1er and in this way transportation vii! be furnished for coal for barge shipment to Fairbanks and other river towns.
 Road to Lignite Creek.
 The commission also will build a branch road up Lignite creek to bnng the coal from the mines.
 The coal occurs in several thick beds, is easily mined, and is Ignite coal of fair grade. It is probable that it will be used chiefly for railroad, iiver-boat and domestic fuel.
 These coal lands are divided into twenty-thrce leasing blocks from l6o to 1864 acres in size. Applications to
