THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
(Seward Gateway)
This is the last winter of watchful wait- .
ing in this part of Alaska. Before the com- |
ir.g of another winter great numbers of j
men will be employed either in the actual j
mining of the Matanuska coal or in the |
building of railroads to make possible the
transportation of that coal. Right today |
this part of Alaska is the most promising
part of the entire world so far as English- |
speaking people are concerned- Look at ,
any place in any country and try to prove j
to yourself that such is not the truth. .
We have a practically virgin territory j
which contains wealth of various kinds anil j
which is about to be opened up by the
richest government on the earth. The man
who starts in here with nothing has better
opportunities than the great majority of
people in other lands who are already fairly
well supplied with means. They must de
pend on normal conditions unaided by the
country or by progress, while we have the
promise of being lifted upward and on
ward on the shoulders of the territory’s ad
vance. We are watching and waiting now,
but we are only watching and waiting for
“the tide which, taken at the flood, leads on
to fortune.”

SEWARD SENDS GREETINGS
(Seward Gateway, Nov. 3)
The mayor of Iditarod sends greetings to
the people of Seward on the first start of
mail over the Seward route.
To him and to the people of Iditarod,
and to all their neighbors, Seward returns
the greetings gratefully.
It is only to be hoped that from this time
forward the people of the Interior and
the people of this city will have closer
ties and keep meeting.
The very fact that they thought about
sending us greetings is one which ought to
have a good as well as a pleasant effect.
It shows how those people are alive every
moment.
The first mail started yesterday, and in
ordinary time the circumstances would have
created an immense interest. If there had
been no election pending the people would
have esen that in the sending of the mad
this way to the Interior Seward was be
ginning a new epoch.
But this interest exists just as strongly,
although not shown, as it might have been
owing to other matters. It was a big event
for Seward, and may be regarded as the
harbinger of far greater things to come.
STARTED FOR OUTSIDE
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Ryan, well-known resi
dents of this and other Alaska mining
camps, left Flat City last Thursday for the
Outside via the Seward trail. They will
(journey to Mr. Ryan's old home in Ontario.

THE ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE OF CAMP IDITAROD
NO. 27, A. B., ANNOUNCES THE BIG EVENT
OF THE SEASON FOR
New Year's Eve., Dec. 31
FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS WILL FOLLOW LATER
)
The total gold production of the Iditarod
district for the year 1914 will prove some- ]
what of a disappointment. According to j
figures compiled from reliable sources, the J
total shipments of gold from Iditarod were j
$2,058,390.40, whereas it was freely pre
dicted early in the season that the final j
figures would show a production of $2,500.
000, and some enthusiasts even prophesied
that it would reach $3,000,000. The sea
son’s output is but little greater than that
for 1913, despite the fact that weather con
ditions were excellent for open-cut mining
throughout the district.
The main reason ascribed to the falling
off in the expected output is that the two
dredges were compelled by unfortunate cir
cumstances to close down much earlier than
was expected. The Yukon Gold Company’s
dredge, on Flat creek, operated fully three
weeks longer last year than this, and the
dredge of Riley & Marston, on Otter creek,
was compelled to close, down much earlier
than was expected, owing to accidents to
the machinery. Weather conditions would
have permitted the operation of both
dredges until the present time, and it is
not at all unlikely that they could have
been operating up till the first of the year,
as there has been no severe cold as yet.
Another reason why the output did not
reach expectations is that the operation of
the Otter creek dredge practically put an
end to open-cut. mining on that creek, and
thus, with the output of the dredge cur
tailed, the returns from that creek were
very largely reduced.
It is not at all unlikely that another
dredge will be installed in the district the
coming season, and in that, case much
more ground will be worked next year,
when the output should greatly exceed that
of the year just closed.

The Germans publish bi-weekly a news

of a raid by Zeppelins. “When firing is
heard," he says, “take to the lower rooms
or cellars."
Among the many “Don’t" compiled by
Lord Curzon for the British people is:
“Don’t waste breath in attempting to as
certain what is to happen to the German )
emperor in this world or the next."
The greater part of the Protestant clergy I
in Germany is expected soon to be on ac

The Berlin painter, Vollbehr, who has
just seen the kaiser, says he is so proud of
his army that “his eyes are phosphorescent j
with happiness." Also that he is so sure J
of victory that he is already talking of his j
changes in the map of Europe.
A Rome dispatch says the Germans are i

FAST GERMAN CRUISERS
MENACE BRITISH SHIPPING
LONDON, Oct. 23. The admiralty has
issued a statement outlining the steps that
are being taken to round up the eight or
nine German cruisers at large in the At
lantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. These
cruisers include the Emden, which has sunk
or captured twenty British vessels to date
in the Indian ocean, and the Karlsruhe,
which has taken thirteen British ships in
the Atlantic. The statement says:
“Searching for these vessels and working
in concert under various commanders in
chief are upwards of seventy British, Aus
tralian. Japanese. French and Russian cruis
ers. Among these are a number of the
fastest British cruisers.
After explaining that the vast expanses of
ocean and the many thousands of islands
offer infinite choice of movement to the
enemy’s ships, and counselling patience on
the part of the public, the statement con
tin ues:
“The percentage of loss is much less than
we reckoned on before the war. Out of
4,000 British ships engaged in the foreign
trade, only thirty-eight have been sunk by
the enemy, or less than 1 per cent in all
“The rate of insurance for cargoes, which
at the outbreak of the war was fixed at 5
guineas per cent, has now been reduced to
2 guineas per cent.
“Between 8,000 and 0.000 foreign voy
ages have been undertaken to and from
Lmited Kingdom ports, less than five per
thousand of which have been interfered
with; and of these losses a large number
have been caused by merchant vessels rak
ing everything for granted and proceeding
without precautions, as if there were no
war.
“On the other hand, German overseas
trade has practically ceased to exist, nearly
all their fast ships which could have been
used as auxiliary cruisers being promptly
penned into neutral harbors, or taking ref
: uge in their own. Among the compara
i tivelv few German ships which have put
j to sea, 133 have been captured, or nearly
1 four times the number of those lost by the
! very large British merchant marine.’'

ters were crossed by another from Belgium
| saying that its neutrality had been violated
