ALASKA FLEET IS
READY FOR
j !
_
Never before in the history of Alas
ka has such a great fleet of merchant
men made ready to handle the spring
and summer rush of business. The
jvinher just ending has been remark
able for the large amount of traffic
to and from Alaska on the regular
winter routes, service having been
maintained without Interruption by
six American and one Canadian com
pany. With the coining of spring, as
has been customary, additional ships
have been placed in the Alaska ser
vice to handle the immense tonnage
in supplies for the dozens of fish
canneries, as well as preparing to
ship men and supplies to the more
remote portions of the territory that
are closed during the winter.
The present season will see a great
er number of salmon canneries oper
ating than ever before, with a clam
canning industry at Cordova and sev
eral other establishments being now
in the formative stage. The whaling
fleet, salmon fleet and halibut fleet
are preparing for a busy season, while
several great mining properties have
been working uninterruptedly all win
ter, and in addition to the steady ship
ments of ore have stored many thou
sands of tons ready for shipment dur
ing the spring months. Permanent in
dustry, particularly in mining, is now
a feature of the territory and the Alas
ka-Juneau is the third immense min
ing company promising great develop
ing and construction work in Silver
Bow- Basin this year.
■The construction of government
railroads from Anchorage, Cook Inlet,
means an immense tonnage to that
point, and already steamship compan
ies are outlining their plans and ar
ranging schedules for properly hand
ling all the business offered.
The Alaska Steamship Company will
have in its regular southeastern and
southwestern service the steamships
Alaska, Mariposa. Alameda and North
western. On the Skagway-Juneau run
the Jefferson and Dolphin will be
steadily engaged. The Dora will o]>
erate in the ore trade to Cordova up
to the time she Is needed for the Nome
service. The steamship Cordova will
take the Kotzebue Sound run, the Ea
touche will handle freight to Nome and
St. Michael, the Seward. Santa Ana,
Redondo, Valdez and Juneau will be
utilized in freight service on any of
the three routes as occasion demands.
It has lately bought the Eureka, and
now has sixteen vessels.
The Pacific Alaska Navigation Com
pany. Admiral Line, will assign the
Admiral Watson. Admiral Farragut
and Admiral Evans to the regular
Cook Inlet run via the Inside Passage
and Prince William Sound ports, with
regular weekly sailings, the day of
sailing to be either Saturday or Sun -
day. In addition to these three ves
sels the company has the Admiral Se
bree and Admiral Clark ready to come
out from the east coast. It recently
purchased the Aroline at San Francis
co, which may be rechristened Ad
miral Dahlgren or Admiral Porter,
which vessel will also be placed in
the service to Anchorage. Announce
ment was recently made in San Fran
cisco of the charter by the Admiral
Eine of the steamship Wellesley for
the season of 1916, and this vessel
will likewise go on the run to An
chonyje for the purpose of handling
etpiipment for the government rail
road.

LAUNCH TRAVELS
SEATTLE TO
The launch Star, which is thirty feet
long, with a seven foot beam, i.iado
the trip from Seattle to Cordova, be
ing one month on the way, on ac
count of a break to her machinery tied
I by encountering some rough weather.
Alf Larson and Alfred Erickson left
the Spirit City in this little craft in
February, being bound for Cordova,
where they will engage in fishing dur
ing the coming summer.
The first stop was made at Ketchi
kan, where a delay of seven days was
necessary in order to make repairs to i
the engine. While in Frederick1
Sound a snowstorm was run into, and
the rigging of the launch lost. Fine j
weather followed in the trip across 1
tlie Gulf of Alaska. On the Copper
river flats the boys got into the^
breakers and w ere compelled to j
change their course and come uround j
Hlnchinbrook island. Although on the!
way a long time and having had unite !
an experience, they are none the I
worse for the trip.

FEARS MEXICANS
j
WASHINGTON, March 25. — Gen-j
| eral Funston telegraphed from San j
I Antonia to the war department today j
| rhat his military observers along the(
! border could find no evidence that j
Carranza was quietly massing troops
along the frontier, or strengthening j
the border garrisons since the Villa!
massacre at Columbus. New Mexico, j
Statements to this effect have been
given publication in the press of the
United States, designed to create the
impression that Carranza was deceiv
ing the Americans in assenting to the
Pershing invasion, and that an upris
ing against the Americans was pro
bable. *
