FLEET MAKING
 READY TO SAIL

Mate Andy Livingston. who is in charge of the shipyard work of the AKIN. company at Cinema, came to town yesterday to secure some sup. plies needed in his department.
 Livingston stated that much open water was noticeable at the mouth of the Cinema river and the indications were that the ice would so fast.
 Work is going along rapidly on the Reliance and the Panama and both will be ready for launching after the ice run Is over. The Alice. which Is at the Fairbanks yards. will also be in shape for launching as soon as the river is clear.

ICE SEEMS TO
 BE COMING UP

The ice In the Cinema river seems to be coming up. an apparently smooth surface being presented to view. For the past three days the water has been rising very slowly-about five inches during the past week. Along the shore margins the distance is widening and in many places the water over the ice nearly reaches from shore to shore. This is true in the rear of the Nordale hotel and in front of the St. Matthew's church.
 On the upper stretches of the river much water is on the ice and quite noticeable stream is in evidence everywhere. The side flow is cut ting the anchor ice loose from the shore and, according to experts. the next few days will see the ice on the move.

MUST PUMP ON
 HAPPY CREEK

Owing to a scarcity of water on Happy creek the mining men there nave found 1t necessary to resort to other means than the natural flow of water in order to secure enough of the required liquid to conduct their operations.
 Yesterday Ed Stevenson, who is operating on that creek, came to town to secure large pump to be used on his claim. He reports that only about half sluicehead of water is running where formerly plenty could be secured. In addi- tion to aiding in securing more water the pump will return that which has been used.
 R. P. Cosgrove and James Morgan have out a good sized dump as the result of their winters work, but will be delayed some in their sluicing operations until the pump Is installed as they. too. are short of water.

 ON BIG SCALE

Gus Peterson, IS Goldstream, is making preparations to operate on a large scale this year. At the present time he has a large force of men at work constructing long Hume line to bring water to the claim. 1t being his intention to have an ample supply this year.
 Several hundred cords of wood have been hauled to the claim and all will soon be in readiness for the first sluicing. The water supply will be an important matter with the min ing men of this section this year and thousands of dollars extra outlay will be required before some of them will be able to clean up, extra fluming and ditching being required that water may be secured.

CATHCART BACK
 FROM HIS TRIP

Wallace Cathcart has returned from his tour of the United States.
 Returning early Tuesday morning, unannounced and hours ahead of schedule. his friends were surprised to see him freQuenting his accus- toned haunts yesterday.
 "Walley" is somewhat weather beaten owing to the sunshine en- countered while on the trail. Physic- ally he is in good condition, albeit somewhat heavy. This is attributed to the exceptionally good treatment he received Outside. He was too busy yesterday to do more than shake hands and say "how.dy" but within the next few days his views of the great Outside may be expect. ed. He arrived home at the right time for next Sunday he is expected to appear at the ball park and show some of the latest 'stuff'' from the Outside.

LACK OF FUNDS
 CUTS FORCE ON
 ANCHORAGE END

ANCHORAGE, April 15.--Not more than two.thirds of the force on the Anchorage division of the govern. ment railroad a year ago Is now em- ployed on the enterprise. Twelve months ago, when the force was re- garded as unusually small, 1t num- bered about 1000; at present it totals 692. Before the entrance of the United States into the world war, the Anchorage division employed as many as $500 workers.
 The present small force is due to the lack of an appropriation for the railroad by the last congress. No new construction work can be under taken. Activities are limited to fn- ishing construction work under way. principally bridges, and to the main. :enance and cWtailed operation of that part of the system that is in a state of completion.
 Information recently was received at the Anchorage offices of the Alaskan Engineering Commission to the effect that many honorably dis charged soldiers in the states con. templated coming to Anchorage to work on the government railroad. So they might entertain no false ideas relative to opportunities tor employ ment on the railroad, an official statement setting forth there are not enough jobs for applicants on the ground was sent to the purchasing and employment office of the Com nisslon in Seattle, and thls state- ment has been given wide publicity.

HIGH REEF TO
 DELAY MINING

Sherrard & Co.,. laymen on St. Patrick creek, have encountered q very high reef of bedrock in their working shaft which will delay them in reaching the level of the pay channel.
 The reef was encountered at a depth of one hundred feet. As the pay channel is about 140 feet from the surface the laymen believe that they will have 40 feet of hard stuff to so thru before they will be able to hoist out the pay dirt. This will greatly delay them as the reef Is hard to handle.
