WAR SERIOUSLY I
EFFECTING THE j
ALASKA MINES
“The war is seriously effecting the
interior/' said Capt. Wallace Langley
today at the Seward. “For instance,
there are four dredges ordered fur
work in the Kuskokwim, lut owing«
to the high cost of the dredges, the
added cost of labor and supplies, to- j
gether with the tax on gold, opera
tors have held-up delivery for the
time being.
“I wish the war was over and when
it is, Alaska will take a leap forward
that will even startle the sourdoughs
themselves," concluded Capt. Wal
lace.

understood the greater part of the
1 crew will be assigned to other ships
I of the U. S. navy. The social atfair
given in Seward recently was the last
one by the officers and crew as at
that time it was known that there
would be a change in the personnel
aboard the Saturn.
Lieut. Frank Luckel and his officers
and crew were mighty well pleased
with the spirit shown by the Seward
residents, which will rebound, in an
important announcement soon to be
made.
