Grind Jury’s Report
Hits Anchorage Jail
Anchorage’s jail condition
came under the scrutiny of the
last Grand Jury hearing reported
there. The Grand jury recom
mended enlarging the space pro
vided for federal prisoners,
which they termed inadequate.
Their xeport said “our investi
gation has shown that present
quarters for both men and wo
men to be entirely inadequate
and in particular, the women’s
quarters which were suitable for
three or four prisoners only, yet
contained nine inmates at the
time of investigation.”
NOTICE
Due to the fact stamps of the
proper denomination have not
been available at the local post
office for some time and are un
obtainable elsewhere there will
be delays in some cases of de
livery of this newspaper by mail.
It is expected the situation
will be remedied this week.

Thousands of hardy miners of old boom times would have been flabDergasted by this picture of a giant
gold dredge knocking down entire town of Dayton, Nev- on edge of celebrated Comstock Lode and not far
frem Reno. Dayton once was a flourishing town, but now its 300 inhabitants flee before a machine that
handles 20,000 tons of gravel daily. At lower left is picture of dredge that worked near Dayton in 1897.
New dredge, a moving factory, utilizes conical “jigs” as shown at lower right, to shake gold-bearing
sands from gravel, with aid of Westinghouse motors.
