SUBZER0 WAVE TO
STAY, CITY IS TOLD;
FEAR COAL FAMINE
No Break in Sight, Weather
Bureau Warns; Mercury
Climbs to 7.
FUEL SUPPLY Is LOW
One Ton Limit Enforced
by Dealers Here as
SHORTAGE Looms.

Although temperatures are
somewhat higher today the
Weather Bureau, which fore
casts colder for tomorrow
sees no break in the cold
wave.
That being so, the coal shortage
in Indianapolis, described by re-
tail dealers as not more than -four
or five days of bitter weather re.
moved, grew, and more dealers
placed a one-ton limit on deliv-
cries.
If you thought it was spring
when you stepped out this morn
ing, you were deceived by a differ
ence of about Is degrees between
the temperature at the same time
yesterday and today. 1t was
above at 9.
Grounding Stirs Controversy
There is some controversy over
whether the grounding, when he
pokes his prophetic nose out of
his home tomorrow and makes that
'momentous annual decision about
six more weeks of winter, will see
the sun or his shadow.
1t is predicted that the sky viii
be cloudy most of the day, clear.
ing, probably, toward night. How
ever if the grounding sees only the
setting sun he probably won't see his
shadow, and we're likely to have
something new and different in rul-
jngs on the matter.
Regardless of the grounding, the
weather bureau sees no relief from
the intense cold that now has such
a string of severe temperatures that
it has broken all records for the
state.
City Man Dies
Meanwhile the cold claimed an
other indianapolis man. Daniel
Lee, Negro, "a, former custodian at
City Hall. died in City Hospital from
effects of exposure suffered Jan. %.
In the state there have been "a
deaths from the subzero weather.
A crisis was faced at South Bend,
where it was announced six of the
larger schools will not open Monday
unless additional fuel supplies can
be obtained. Coal dealers have
asked public notice regarding the
shortage be withheld to prevent a
run on their existing supplies.
Another major difficulty in some
cities was frozen lines which have
caused a water shortage. Ander-
son and Seymour are most seriously
affected, while other cities report
lesser anxiety.
$4,000 Montgomery Fire Loss
With the ground frozen three feet
deep, officials of the Elkhart City
Cemetery suspended all burials
pending warmer weather and pre-
pared to keep bodies in vaults un-
til the cold wave breaks.
Fires have caused considerable
damage. A drug store and grocery
burned at Montgomery, Davies
County, with an estimated loss OF
$4,000.
An overheated stove caused a fire
which destroyed a one-room school
house in Union Township, Shelby
County, at loss of $4,000. The fire
occurred before students reported
for classes.

DREDGE CLEANUP
 TAKEN TO NOME
(Nome Nugget


 Allan Lee arrived in Nome on Wednesday from the Solomon Riv- CT section with the first cleanup of gold bullion from the Lee Broth CTS Dredging Company operations located on Solomon River just be- low Shovel Creek and about seven miles from Solomon.
 In an interview, MT. Lee tells of their activities in that section. The dredge was formerly known as the Nome Montana gold dredge. it was stacker type, steam driven dredge which had not been used for several years.
 The Lee Brothers acquired the dredge and remodeling began in May. At least one hundred tons of obsolete equipment was removed and the dredge was made modern and up-to-date by changing it to a Hume type and installing ? Cum niins diesel engines for power. The dredge was completed and digging operations began the second oi September and has been perform ing satisfactorily ever since.
 Twelve persons constitute the crew, day and night shifts being the rule. Bedrock is from l2 to IA feet. Mir. Lee stated that the first cleanup was satisfactory in every respect and hoped to work con tinuously until the freezeup.

FLOOD WATERS
 ROSE , TIMES
 NEAR SKACWAY
B. P. R. Engineer Reports Damage to Highway and
 White Pass Railroad

There were really three floods in Skagway causing damage to high WOW and railroad, according to D's- trict Engineer M. D. Williams of the bureau of Public Roads, who re- turned to his office here at the week end after survey of the dis trict.
 The first flood did much of the damage, he reported, but on two other occasions within a few days the water rose to the same level again as the result of torrential rains in the mountains.
 A little more than half mile of the. Skagway Highway is out, the Engineer said, and the approach to the road bridge was taken out in the flood. Temporary repair will be made on the latter to accommodate residents of the community. The White Pass and Yukon Route lost portion of two bridges, one of which is now repaired and the other which probably will not be in shape to run trains over for month or so.
 In the meantime, MT. Williams explained, his office has made g temporary repair on what is known as the old Bracket road and pas- sengers are being taken from the White Pass trains at Boulder Junc- ton, about four miles above Skag- way, and transferred by automobile to Skagway.
 The half mile on the Skagway road is a complete loss, the Engin- eer said, the flood having coursed right down the road, washing most of 1t into the roaring Skagway river

T,co Major Mining Firms
 in Alaskan Gold Conquest

Under a Fairbanks, Alaska, date line, the Seattle Times of last Monday printed the following arLi- cle:
 The dust in Uncle Sam's attic set tongues wagging again today about Alaska's golden heart and the entrance of two major Amer ican mining companies into the vast interior gold fields.
 The American Smelling and Re- fining Company secured control of fifty gold quartz claims near Fairbanks and the United States Smelling, Refining and Minin g Company purchased the famous Big Eldorado Creek, one of the largest placer gold creeks in the world, owned and worked for many years by various individuals.
 i Deals Completed Calmly
 Unlike the days thirty mine years ago when the headline "A Ton of Gold caused a stampede toward the Klondike, the two companies quietly completed the deals and announced plans to begin winter operations immediately. Operations have been speeded up all down the line and Stewards ice box expects to send out $10,000,000 in gold this season, almost double the average seasons cleanup and twice as much as the amount paid for the Territory by the United States sixty mine years ago. Its the same old story in a new light; like the days when the man with the pick replaced the man with the trap Today the big min ing companies are installing huge gold boats" or dredges which are taking the place of individual pros pectors.
 One of these dredges working near Fairbanks weighs 1000 tons, can dig down nearly 100 feet, handled between 5000 and 10000 cubic yards of dirt daily and re- quires only five or six men to oper- ate it.
 Deposits Sucked Up
 The metal deposit is sucked up from river and creek beds, cleaned and refuse gravels dumped aside.
 Placer mining is done by hydrau- lie nozzles. Placers formations, where nature has washed out the gold from rocks and concentrated it at the bottom of creeks, gulches,
