DREDGE DESTROYED BY
FIRE 1 DRY CREEK
The so-called Belevlew dredge
■which was moved from Moss Gulch
to Dry Creek last winter was de
stroyed by fire where it rested on
the Felix Brown ground on Dry
creek between B and D streets
about eight o’clock this morning.
It appears that two men were
working on the dredge engaged in
the operation of calking the hull.
Emil Anderson who had charge of
the work had just opened a bale of
oakum which he shook out and
spread on the deck. He had turned
to the seam which was being caulk
ed and had hardly turned his back
on the fresh oakum when it started
to blase, the fire creeping with fear
ful speed along the entire mater:,,!
and getting hold on the oily and j
distillate stained deck. In r few i
minutes the w’hole upper structure1
was ablaze and the fire alarm turn
ed in with the utmost speed was not
swift enough for the fire which
spread fore and aft with the most
extraordinary rapidity thruout all
the woodwork and eating up every
thing inflammabe in its course. When
the firemen arrived the full crew
being on hand with the utmost
celerity the fire was beyond any con
trol. Desperate efforts were made
to prevent the deck and hull being
consumed, but the conflagraffion
was too far gone for any human
efforts altho the firemen fought the
flames like Trojans. The work of
fighting the fire was finally aban
doned as the whole hull surrendered
itself to the red flames. No ma
chinery was as yet installed on the
dredge, the whole structure being
a total loss.
MISTAKEN FOR ENEMY
FIRE ON AMERICAN
WASHINGTON,—Wednesday an
American armed merchaniman off the
Atlantic coast spotted the periscope
of a submarine and opened fire upon
the diver. The diver proved to be
an American submarine. The shot
penetrated the hull but fortunately
failed to explode and did no damage.
The Submarine has arrived for re
l pairs.
MORE PEACE TALK
REPORTED RY VORWAERTS
LONDON,—The Berlin Vorwaerts, i
organ of the majority social-demo-1
crats, says that Germany has sentj
out a peace note to Spain asking'
ftfr a conference and suggesting
that Germany does not want annexa
tions nor indemnities, in the west,
but that peace treaties with Russia
and Roumania arc to stand. The
principle of self determination is to
t>e admitted as regards other terri
tory and the fate of Belgium is to be
letermined at the conference. The
note suggests also as being beyond
iebate the question of the freedom
if the seas, by the dismantling of
die Forts of Gibraltare and Port
Suez.

BELVIDERE REPORTS ALL
ALL WELL AT ANARIR
A radio received from the Rus
sian Wireless station at Anadir from
Swenson the trader in charge of
‘the Belvidere announced the safe
arrival in that port of the Belvidere
and its future coming to Nome.
The news was received by Mr
Blackwell the well known trader
and sets at rest many disquieting
rumor3 which were in circulation
owing to nothing having been heard
from the Belvidere since leaving
Seattle last spring.
NEWS NOTES
Commodore Wittenberg returned
to Nome with his good ship Sea
Wc|f after a very successful trading
trip off the coast of Siberia. The
peculiar thing about the trip was
that almost all the ice encountered
was on this side of Bering Sea and
it was twelve days before he finally
cleared it. He had to put Intel Teller
twice before he did sc with bent
propellor blade and twisted shaft,
but when finally he got clear of the
ice there was none to be seen near
Siberia. He reached the Siberian
coast near East Cape ar.d traded
n'cirth as far as Kaluchin Bay. An
experience that was somewhat un
usual was that he had to take out
a license before the natives would
trado and this license he now carries
as an interesting souvenir cf the
trip and signed by the representa
tives of the Kerensky government.
He paid 115 roubles for cne license
and 26 for another, so that after all,
the matter was highly regular. He
told the official of the dominance
cf the Bolsheviki in Russia, but the
bland representative of Kerensky
tc|d him that they only knew of one
government there. Ho wa3 d-ecply
interested in the news which he
heard and was effuse in welcoming
Mr Wittenberg as from the United
States. By the way all manifested
considerable concern to know what
had become of the Belvidere and
when hcr.t was coming up, so that
absolutely nothing is known of its
whereabouts and some are begin
ning to think the American trader
has been detained in Petropavold-k
to which point it makes its first
call annually.
Mr Joe Kennedy was an arrival
on the Silver Wave from Telle’-. He
together with a number of cither
miners has beer, engaged on the
O'Brien property on Lost River per
forming development work. He
says that this w<|rk has opened up
a great ore body that is astonishing
in its extent and he really believes
that this will prove to be one ol
the great tin mines of the world.
Ad-ditirfeial men have been put on
this spring and it is the intention
to operate this mine on a large
scale winter and summer. Ample
capital is now available for the
work which is to be carried on and
the mine impressed the gfcVernmeni
experts who are inspecting the
available tin resources of the Port
Clarence District as nothing else
had done. They considered it a
marvellous showing. This is the
^nine that a few years ago a certain
syndicate was trying to obtain con
vtiicil of but over-reached itself in
the attempt.
The Silver Wave the first of the
Nome mosquito fleet to reach Kotze
bue Sound since the opening of nav
igation made a clean up of passen
gers from various points in thal
section who had been waiting foi
the boats to take them to Nome
The passenger list includes quite a
number of notables of various parts
up North: P. Abercrambe, and
wife, Barney O’Rielly and wife, C
R Ferguson, A Thomson, M Touhy,
Dahl Berg, J Maguire, Mrs Sam
Magids, D Replogle, P Iversic, Mar
tin Moran, all from Kotzebue. Carl
and Mrs Lee and son, Mrs Fox and
two children, Ivan Chilstrom. Deputy
U S Marshal Lewis, A1 Lowe, all
freton Keewalik. Mr and Mrs Adie
of Wales, Miss Hollie Jones from
Shismareff, Joe Kennedy, Frank Mil
ler and three children, Mrs Fred
Hinton from Teller. The passage
to Kotzebue Sound and back was
not remarkable for any incident c£
note and nothing untoward occurred
to mar the very successful round
trip under these able navigators.
