when the armistice was signed. and
but for an unavoidable delay due to
the influenza epidemic, he would
have peen on the other side when

Russian Dukes Killed to: Avenge
Lieblmecht.

Paris, Feb. 16.-Paul Eric, corre-
spondent of The Journal, who re-
Gently escaped from Petrograd and
made his way to Helsingfors, says
that four Russian Grand Dukes were
shot some time ago without having
been given hearing. and that it was
understood their summary execution
was result of the killing in Berlin
of DR.. Karl Liebknecht and Rosa
Luxembourg.
The correspondent says certain
Bolsheviki advocated the release of
the Grand Dukes and that their view
was about to prevail when the Cor
okhovia, the Vigilance Committee,
opposed this, and to show that it
alone had the right to decide the fate
of the prisoners, had them shot.

SAYS PROSPECT'ORS IS GREATEST NEED
 FOR ALASKA JUST NOW
!. E. Barrett of Mccarthy Says Lively Movement of Prospec- tors Towards White
 River.

J. E. Barrett, owner of the town site of Mccarthy, Alaska, president of the Mccarthy Commercial Club, miner, prospector and interested ill developing the Green group of cop per mines, is in the city on busi- ness, and will take the next boat to the Westward He arrived from a business trip outside today and is registered at the Occidental.
 Mccarthy continues to forge ahead" said MT Barrett The Mother Lode had encountered three new rich veins of ore and other properties in that section are going ahead We have been doing devel- opment work on the Green group for the past IA months.
 You know that Alaska and our part of the country has suffered from man power taken by the war, and for several years, owing to the nis-di- rected conservation applied to Alas ka, old'time prospectors have been leaving the country, some of them HdNlHS lIcil StdhcS, anu OtI- CTS to seek more promising fields. They are now beginning to return and more especially the young fel- lows who have been in Inc army. To my mind, Alaska has suffered more from lack of prospectors to search out new mineral, than from any other cause. Prospectors are the ones who find the mines.
 When I left Mccarthy there was a lively movement of miners and prospectors toward the Shunshanna and White river Heretofore freight has been $1 per pound, but this past Winter it was reduced to 16 cents per pound, giving a better oppor- tunity to get in outfits. Some of the country is said to be rich but water has prevented it being worked, and it was not possible to get in pumps until the present season. All of the dogs have been pressed into service by the men now going into that country and oldtimers look for good results"
