PORT CLARENCE REPORTS
FORECAST BIG ACTIVITIES
TELLER, May 17. (By Mail).—
The snow is going fast, the hills are
bare except along the coast sleding
for the season is peluk, geese,
cranes and swan, are coining in
plenty for the past five days.
This has been an ideal spring for
freighting to the creeks, the weath
er was fine and the trails was never
better, Frank Miller and Bart Ryan
started 2 weeks too late to haul the
Bernard dredge from York to Swan
son creek, where they will operate
the coining summer, they have it ail
on Swanson but about five tons
when the trail went to pieces. Rice
and Gehrman were taking out a
dump on Swanson the past winter
but closed down 10 days ago on ac
count of the surface water coming
in to their shaft.
Hirschberg on Sunset creek had
to close down for the same reason.
Joe Kennedy and Max Rappe
moved an outfit to Burke creek in
April and will mine there for the
season. Burke creek is a tributary
to American river. Bob Johnston,
Pete Bloomberg Paddy Flynn and
Frank O’Connor will work together
on Dick creek the coming summer,
they are a hard working bunch
and should do well. Joe Goodwin
has 2 men working for him on Lost
river taking out ore, he is hauling
the ore to the mouth of the river,
he intends shipping at least 50 tons
on the first boats.
Dave M’Connell is at Tin City lie
is moving the Engines arid Machine
ry to the beach, he intends shipp
ing it to Nome on the first boats.
Goggins I think bought it. Frank
Miller moved an outfit to York, he
will mine on Buck creek this sum
mer. Dave Denney and Domingo
have been hauling their provisions
from York out to Sutter creek,
where they will put in the summer,
mining tin.
The Gold Run people have closed
down their winter work and are
now waiting for the snow and ice to
go, they have their provisions laid
in for the summer and expect to
come out the coming fall with a
home stake.
Doc Maloney is down from Marys
Igloo, he is getting the Wliittard
and Barnette lighterage plant in
shape for the summer.
Pete Tomren had natives haul
his summer outfit to Igloo creek on
the Blue Stone river where he will
mine this season.
Except a few canned goods both
stores here are out of provisions,
the white people here had enough
laid in to do them until the boats
come but some of the natives have
been going to Nome for flour, sugar
and other staples.
The Natives who own Reindeer
claim this will be the banner year
for them, the weather all through
the fawning season was fine and
they lost but few fawns, and the
herds in general are. in fine condi
tion.
ILL FOR TWO WEEKS.
A wire to F. W. Cobb of Nome
conveys the information that Dan
Sutherland has been ill for two
weeks in Juneau with tonsilitis and
it was expected that he would nt
be well for two weeks more. Ab
eesses had complicated the original
sickness.

SHORT OF NEWS ON
ACCOUNT OF BREAK
The Industrial WorKer this issue
is short cn cabled news mainly for
the reason that the Burnside has
been repairing the cable. These
smaller interruptions are more seri
ous for the newspapers than regu
lar breaks because notice is gen
erally given too late to make ar
rangements for dispatch of press
messages through the ordinary re
course in the way of the Dominion
line via Ashcroft and Kgbert. In
fact the terminals are sometimes
not advised of the interference at
all until messages begin to come
via the wireless when they know
something is wrong with the other
moans.
The Burnside is engaged in the
work of overhauling the entire cable
which is in a particularly rotten
condition according to reports and
owing to the disturbances frequent
in the sea bed in that section of the
Gulf of Alaska breaks as we all
know are quite frequent.
Money could hardly be more profit
ably spent than for a new cable be
tween Sitka and Valdez to reinforce
the older one which has to be spii-1
ced and repaired time and time
again.
The single line also is subject to
such congestion of work that it Is
taxed to its utmost capacity not in
frequently and when delays like the
present accurs, the newspapers
simply get left.
SKILL!::) LAUOIt NOT CHOSEN.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 22.—
It is practically certain that under
the draft bill of selective conscrip
tion skilled labor will not be chosen
at all as being needed for muni
tions and other industrial work.
Ever since President Wilson's let
ter to representative Keating outlin
ing the plan a month or so ago
and made public at the time, it was
known that the advisory council
had listed enormous mumbers of
skilled men whom it was desirable
to save from military service in the
fiel although open to industrial
mobilization.
It is now reported that this idea
will be carried out to the letter
under the draft bill.
DIVISIONAL COMMISSION
MAY NOW ORGANIZE
The elected Territorial Road Com
misioner, John A. Wilson, received
by wire from Territorial Treasurer
Smith notification that the appoint
ments had been made according to
law upon the Divisional Commis
sion and that they might now pro
ceed to organize. The wire advised
that copies of the law and further
instructions were being sent by the
first boat. It was also stated that
funds would be available when the
bonds were filed and when same
were requisitioned according to law.
The Treasurer advised going slow
until the Divisional Commission
had been fully advised of the regu
lations which had been imposed
upon them by the legislature.
NO OTHER SAVE THE
WAR MEASDRES PASSED
WASHINGTON, I). C., May 2G.—
It is now practically certain that no
other work than war measures will
be considered at the special session,
except those fiscal plans which were
held up at the last minute by the
preceding session and which have
most of them been already attended
to, like the army bill and others
These will likely go through ac
companying the war work which is
now getting rushed through with
more celerity.
The passage of the food control
bill will be followed by other war
measures now under process of gett
ing rubbed into shape by the ad
ministration leaders.
