countered between the third and

The destructioa ol the wharf
prevented the shipment of one
thousand tons of ore on the last
trio cf the Admiral Farragut and
the terminal buildings, ore bunkers,
shutes and tunnels, lu fact every
place where ore can be stored are
tilled to capacity.
Some idea of the force of the
storm which dsetroyod the wharf
may be gained from the fact that
the termiual building, with aiout
fifteen tons of counterweights for
the cables, was moved on its con
crete base for a distance of sev
eral iuches. This, however, does
j not worry tho management, as it
| had been planned to move the
| building had not the storm ifcno
! the work. Miners coming up from
the property say that the storm
was the worst they have ever
seen in Alaska or anywhere else,
{and that mountainous waves swept
over the wharf befora it collapsed.

NEILSON GETS RICHER DIRT
According to advices received .
from Brooks, Jack Nielson, working
on 4 above, Mike Hees creek, has
struck richer pay than ever. When
he first s'ruck bedrock lie found
pay that would run from 90 cents
♦o Si dollar a toot. Ha started
drifting, and for 120 feet, or there
about, he found dirt that would
average practically a dollar a foot;
and then te ran Into the gTound
■ which, it fe reptfrttff, -will run
fully two dollars to the foot of bed
rock.
If the report, which, comes upon
reliable authority, b true, it means
a grePt deal to the now camp,
as it meaus that the paystreak on
Mike Hess creek is one that can
be worked on a large scalo and at
a substantial profit.
A number of men who are in
terested in ground nearby are much
elated over the news and are anx
iously awaiting further reports
aa to Xle'son's workings.—Fairbank

RUSSIA HAS 0,000,000
SOLDIERS IN RESERYI
New York, Feb. 10—Dr. Philip
Newton of Washington, -who re
turned to New York recently on
the Str. Baltic wearing the ■uniform
of a brigadier-general in the Rus
sian army and the cross of St.
Anue which was bestowed upon him
by the rear, said that Russia had
just drafted 5,000,000 men for war
service, and had 9,000,000 more in
reserve to be called up. The
doctor said that he went to Rus
sia at the beginning of the war
to offer his service, and was at
tached to the 42ni regiment of the
sixth army, and took part in the
retreu from Warsaw.
"We started with 4 5,000 officers
and men, and only 3,500 survived
the march. All the rest were eith
er killed, wounded or captured.
"The 6,000,000 troops recently
drafted makes 9,000,000 Russia has
put in tne field, and she has an
equal number of good troops In re
serve. t-he is receiving plenty of
ammunition from Britain, France,
the United States and Japan.
"Russia is getting a supply of
big guns from Japan, and the irony
of it is that she is sending to
Moscow over the trans-Siberian
railway the Krupp guns that were
originally shipped from Hamburg to
Japan. The outlook for Russia
.was belter when I left Petrograd
tlrree we^Jcs ago than it has beta
during the war."
He said he was attached to the
big military hospital at Kiev, which
was equipped with 600 beds and
had ueated G,00t» wounded men in
ten months. After spending a
month with his family in Washing
ton, Dr. Newton will return to the
war oftice in Petrograd for orders.
Fairbanks, Feb. 12—During th<
las» month three fairly large min
ing plauts were .shipped to the
Tolovana district, according to
advices furnished by the dealere ih
machinery. A number of pros
pectors in the Tolovana district
hate been looking over some min
ing ulants and several were ex
pected to be shipped out during the
early part of this month, but ow
ing to the heavy snows and drift
ing on the trail, the shipments were
postnoned temporarily.
George Markus, manager of the
hardware department of the North
ern Commercial company, stated
toady that from what he had
learned as to conditions in the
new camp, theTe would be several
plants leaving for Brooks Bhortly
after the trail gets in good shape.
James 15. Barrack, manager of the
Samsou Hardware Company, is of
the same opinion.
