AI.L THE AUTHORITIES outside seem to agree that the great European
war will result in a tremendous increase ot prosperity in the United States.
For every shipment of gold this
\V.\R AND THE UNITED STATES country will receive large sums
as interest. It is also estimated
that the increase in the price of wheat by eight cents a bushel just before the
war meant an additional sum of seventy-two million dollars in the pockets of
American growers. And that increase was probably small when compared
to the increase in price which has since taken place.
One writer outside says that the import# have increased since the coming
into power of the democratic administration, and that the exports ha\t dc
creased, so making a change for American industry in the wrong direction.
He believes, now , that this state of affairs will be reversed and that Ameri
can workmen will have to be used for manufacturing instead of the Euro
peans who are fighting.
Another authority sees difficulty in the fact that the American ships are
too few ami that foreign ships cannot carry on commerce, but he sees in this
situation a promise that America will increase her merchant shipping and be
once more among the real great powers of commerce.
THE PEOPl.E of other races can hardly continue to raise their superior
eyes with horror nowadays when they talk about our Mexican neighbors.
They are apparently built of the same material as
THE MENU VNS the rest of mankind and if they go in for scrap
ping they can point to their own very shores and
show where others are not so docile ami Uhristianly meek. Indeed, the war
in Mexico today is nothing but one little war inside a big one.
By the dispatches the other day it was seen that one hundred and twelve
generals of the federal side voted in favor of surrendering to Carranza. Then
it was told how the majority backed Carbajal and refused to surrender. To
have a majority Carbajal must have had at least lid generals on his side.
That means 223 generals and if we assume that the Constitutionalist forces
have an equal number we find that Mexico has 430 generals.
That probably beats the Dutch themselves. And, while talking about the
Dutch, it might be suggested that about four hundred of those Mexican field
marshals might find a place in the trenches before Namur. The kaiser’s in
cinerator will soon be working and the world is getting tircnl of that one horse
scrap next door. All of us have recently developed a taste for something
better and bigger in the fratricidal line.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
Dawson—The Treadgold mining
operations on Dominion creek are be
ing prosecuted this season along sim
ilar lines to those of last year, com
prising thus far the washing of muck
from the surface at several places
with hydraulic giants. The water is
being taken from several gulches and
conveyed for miles in ditches. The
ground is being prepared for opera
tion with new type machines. Charles
P. Dolan, superintendent for the com
pany on Dominion, who several weeks
ago visited England, where the ma
chines are being constructed, says one
of them was to have left there before
the first of this month, and should be
here within a few weeks. It is to be
taken to Dominion and assembled im
mediately on arrival. Each machine
will have a capacity of about 10,800
cubic yards a day, as much as the
largest gold dredge in the Klondike
can handle. More exactly speaking
the machine-handles 4'»0 cubic meters
an hour, an<! a cubic meter is a little
larger than a cubic yard. They are
known as the Lubecker dredge and
excavating machine. Only one is com
ing at first so that if local conditions
demand alterations of any detail thev
can he made before the other ma
chines are forwarded.
Mr. Dolan, when in London this
spring, made a special trip to Liepsic,
Germany, and vicinity, where he saw
twenty-one of the machines in opera
tion. Some are digging coal, some
chalk, and others gravel and other
material.
James B. Cooley, an inmate of the
Pioneer’s home at Sitka, died on the
morning of the July 22. At the time
of his death he was in his 83d year
and had lived in Skagway since 1897.
His only known relative is a nephew,
Wm. Cooley, of Dawson.
William Burns, a miner formerly in
the employ of the Alaska Gastineau
Mining company, died in St. Ann's
hospital this morning from exposure
and alcoholism, fhe former resulting

unconscious state at an early hour
this morning in his cabin on the beach
just south of the Alaska Juneau mill
site. Death ensued within an hour
after entering the hospital and he
never regained consciousness. He had
