THREE iREDGES COMING
ON FIRST RUN OF ROATS
That capital is nor overlooking the
possibilities of profitable dredging on
Seward Peninsula is evidenced by the
information received by telegraph to
day by the Nugget, that among tin i
shipments on the first boat-;, will be I
three large size dredges which will he j
installed in various sections of the
Peninsula Despite the failure of sev
eial dredges to make good last sum j
m»»r, it is clear that investors continue!
to take a lively interest in that In- ’
, i
dusto and we deduce that thev know
pretty well what the.' are about. Wist
rlom has come with experience and
those who are placing more monp; in.
this branch of mining have a thorough
knowledge of what the possibilities are
There is not the least doubt that
dredging will continue to be a feature
ol' this section for many year' to
■ ..me The ground is here and it can
be profitably mined by Intelligent and
experienced minors Such failures as
hate developed, in nearly every case
hoc been caused by haste and inex
pe.rieni and poor business inanage
ment. That this is so Is proven to I he
fact that two at least of the new
dredges mentioned are for people who
are already engaged in the business
in this district. A large percentage
of the dredges now being operated are
still under the management of men
who <lld not know a dredge from a
steam scraper t1\p years ago, and we
m.t\ reasonably look for further fail
ures bemuse ..f their lack of exper
ience.
However, it is safe to say that whet
Die industry is placed on a thorougl
business basis and conducted by efti
cient and experienced men a fuilur*
will be of rare occurrence Time is r«*
united to learn all the various condi
tions but once lettrned Seward Penin
sula will become one of the great
(hedging centers <»f the Pnited States

firmly demands the relieving of present
conditions and informs Carranza that
unless immediate steps are taken to
better conditions and relieve the resi
d* nts of Mexico City the 1’nited Slat* s

FLEET FIGHTS ONE STEP
NEARER CONSTANTINOPLE
i
LONDON, Mulch 9.—The Admiralty
states that the British and French fleet
have battered their way a step nearer
t i Constantinople b> silencing two
more of the Turkish defenses along the
Dardanelles. It is admitted ttiat the
Turks are offering a stiff resistance
to the advance. German gunners are
said to be manning the Turkish guns
which accounts for the more effective
marksmanship of the past three days
Several warships have been struck
hut sustained no vital damage. Re
ports from the fleet commander give
the situation satisfactory in every way.
The British fleet operating against
Smyrna is said to he working steadily
toward the city and is rapidly silencing
the Turkish batteries along ttie ap
proaches to the harbor. The bombard
ment of the city has boon temporarily
suspended because of the fleet being
outside of effective range.

SOFIA, March !).—Constantinople

advance is impossible. The dispatches
also admit that the Russians are still
outside the eastern entrance to the
Bosphorus, pounding ineffectively at
the outer forts.

much trouble The torpedo stations
are said to he hidden in a skillful man
