According to advices received in
j Fairbanks the roadhcuses along the
Olaes-Toiovana road haTe catered
1 Into an agreement not to serve
meals i'or lets thau J 1.50. They
have each, posted a forteit oX $25
as a guarantee th-t the agreement
J will be kept. Travelers who have
used the trail exUviislvely stale
that ihe meals at many oX the
rt adhouses aro act all that could
be desired, but considering the
freight charges thai the price is
reasonable enough,
The Juneau dealers ia gasoline
have advanced the xirlce to twenty
etuis per gallon aiid report that
the jirite may go higher. Gasoline
recently sold an the oastorn mar
kets lor eight cents ptr gallon re
tail, but it is now higher and there
is talk of a congressional investiga
tion as to the cause. Thq fishing
fleet ol Southeastern Alaska use
an enormous quantity oj. gasoline
and the increased expense of op
erating is workiug a hardship on
the fishermen.
Kraut S. Gordon left Fairbanks
recently to iuajto a trip to the
states and soon aiter his departure
1* was rumored tha* be would try
to secure a monopoly on all tl»e
best alms and would open a movie
picture bouse next spring. When
the news reached tnem ol Gor
don's intentions Pick Thorne and
Pirate .Ellis, who own the show
houses in Fairbanks at present, im
mediately secured dog teams and
left iff the coast with the inten
tion of beating Gordon to It.
When Judge Bunnell of Fair
banks opened court on February S
he announced that therq would be
no court crier as he had decided to
do away with that functionary. Th
judge said that the court crier is
an unliquated custom not In gener
al use In courts and ha had decid
e «. that his courts would be up-to
date. If, however, it is found that
a cour*. crier is necessary it is
probaDie that the work will fall to
the lot of some of I he deputy mar
shals.
Gold f'ust, nuggets, or whatTeer
shape the precious nytal comes in,
would probably have no distin
gushiig marks, but according to S
V. Pasno and J. Brochu, miners
from Ophir, Alaski. the gold from
the different creeks and districts
bear a stamp of individuality that
enables an exoert to tell wherq any
one consignment of Alaska gold
came from. An expert assayer or
one who has handled a great deal
of gold from Alaska can name the
district, and in most cases even
the creek whence th$ metal origlnat
ed, said Mr. Pasno to a Seattle
uew.-pcper. "I do rot know JuBt
what the subtle differences in the
gold due* or nuggets from different
districts are, but 1 imagine that
the foim, color and degree of purity
are the main characteristics. For
instance, the gold from Ophir runs
puier than that from other camps.
The gold dust and (he nuggets from
the Klondiko have a diffreent ap
pearance from metal* coming
from Nome."
IMMENSE JLODE IX SQUEXTNA
Auchorage, March 10*—The news
has been received here of the dis
covery of a monster lode In the
Squentua country and considerable
excitement has resulted here. Sev
eral are already departing for the
scene if the strike and quite a
stampede may be looked for. The
loue is fifteen hundred feet in
width and carries troJd values of
five dolla.ro a ton. aud upward. The
rock Is of a bluish, color and g°od
looking. Tea locations have al
ready been made but this number
is expected to increase very much
ri^ht away. The ledge is tan miles
frcm the Dyers roadhouse.
ALL TRADE IX MADRID
PARALYZED BY STRIKE
ondon, March 10—A Reuter dis
patch from Madrid says that a
strike which began among the bak
ers in that city on account of the
high price of flour has" developed
into a general strike and brought
trad-e to a standstill. Riots haye
occurred and several persons have
been 'ivjured in conflicts with the
police. Disturbances assumed a
more serious form in the suburbs
whore there was not sufficient po
lice force to cope with the situa
tion. The mayor of Madrid has re
signed as a consequence of the
trouble.
NEW GUNS WILL
CM NEW YORK
Proposed Sixteen Inch Cannon
Will Have Twenty Mile Range,
—
SAFEGUARD NEARBY COASTS
More Effective Than Any Armimttrt
of Modern Battleships, They Will
Prevent Sea Attack by Foreign Foe.
Protection Covera «n Area of 1,256
Square Mtlea.
When the nation's ordnance experts
materialize the program of harbor de
fense for New York which was out
lined to the boose military affairs com
mitter by Brigadier General Erasmus
II. Wearer. U. S. A., chief of coast ar
tillery, the metropolitan district will
become virtually impregnable to attack
either from land or sea. The "all
around Are" range of the sixteen Inch
rifles which the ordnance authorities
contemplate installing soon at Far
Rockaway Is S5,000 yards, or approx
imately twenty miles.
With this nuige, which Is greater
than that of any battleship armament
In the world and greater than that of
any known artillery of the mobile type,
all of the metropolitan district within
a twenty mile circle, with Far Bock
away Beach as its center, will be com
manded by the powerful new weapong.
This circle Includes all of Manhattan
Island south of Harlem, the southern
section of the Bronx, all of Brooklyn
and Queens, all of Siaten Island, New
ark, Elizabeth. Ho^iken. Jersey City.
Bayonne and practically all of the
Jersey coast
A battleship as powerful In arma
ment as the British superdreadnaught
Qneen Elizabeth could be held off from
the harbor at a distance which would
make her guns impotent so far as bom
bardment of any part of th«- five bor
rcghs of New York city 1= concerned.
Cruisers of the British royal nary at
present engaged In patrol duty outside
of New York harbor and the prescrib
ed three mile llailt are to be found
continually In waters which ate In
cluded in the range area of the pro
jected Far Rockaway fortifications. In
wartime no war vessel could fome so
close were the Rockaway gon« la
stalled.
Wide Sweep cf New Guns.
An idea of this sweeping range may
1-e appreciated from the fact that the
urea covered by the guns t*^.L236
i<qunre miles. Unlike the present for
ilflcatlon armament of most of the har
!>or defenses, the Far nookawnr sys
tem will 1* as effective when employ
■■d to repel lard attack as to protect
Rgainst bombardment from seaward.
That is. as Brigadier fJeneral Wen
\"er emphasized, the guns will be em
placed in snch n fashion that "all
around Are" can lie directed by the gar
rison. The gtitis can be trained with
equal effect In any dire-don. the only
difference being that should it become
necessary to concentrate their fire upon
an Invading force threatening New
York city In the rear, as from the land
side. the character of the ammunition
nfied would be different
Armor piercing projectiles used
against naval attack are of little use
cgalnst operations by a laud force.
Tests have been made by "Teverslng"
coast defense cutis a:ul firing them In
chore. The aruu.»- piercing projeetile#
used merely buried themselves many
feet deep In the noil. When the new
fortifications are n . de complete and
taanued two distinct Uuds of ammuni
tion will be stowed in the magazine—
armor piercing prtiji- tiles cud shells
of the high explosive tyj e.
Peril Under Present Conditions.
Comparison between the range areas
of the projected Far Rixkaway anm
r.ient and that of Fort H.ir.cock. the
present guardian fortress of New York
tit Sandy Hook, fs interesting. The
tnrret batteries of the ultra modern
battleship could be directed with dead
ly effect against .Manhattan's proudest
architectural piles mid icjve the tinan
clal section a smoking ruin within a
few hours without ever venturing
within effective range of the present
harbor defease guns. So say the mill
tary authorities.
The ranee of tbe Fort Hancock guns
Is about 24,000 yards, or approximate
ly thirteen and a half miles. Tbe
range area of these latteries stops
short at Bay Ridge. and New York
city, with tbe exception of the creater
part of Staten Island. Is outride the
range altogether. Thus against a land
attack, even with the necessary "all
around Are" Improvement Instituted In
the Fort Hancock armament, the gun
range does not cover tbe metropolitan
district In any sense, and tbe function
of the Sandy Hook fortification, unless
guns of much heavier caliber are era
placed there, can never 1* other than
the original one—defense of the bar
bor from naval attack only.
