“GOD AID RUSSIA,"
SAYS DEPOSED CZAR
PETROGRAD, (Via London), Mar.
17.—The following is the text of the
imperial manifesto in which the Rus
sian emperor announced his abdica
tion and that of his son:
We, Nicholas II, by the grace of
God empeYor of all the Russians, czar
of Poland and Grand duke of Finland,
etc., make known to all our faithful
subjects in the day of the great strug
gle against a foreign foe who has
been striving for three years to en
slave our country, .God has wished to
send to Russia a new and painful tri
al. Interior troubles threaten to have
a fatal repercussion on the final out
come of the war.
The destinies of Russia and the hon
or of our heroic army, the happiness
of the people, and all the future of
our deal- fatherland require that the
war be prosecuted at all cost to a
victorious end. The cruel enemy is
making his last effort, and the mo
ment is near when our valiant army,
in concert with those of our glorious
allies, will definitely chastise the foe.
In these decisive days in the life of
Russia we believe our people should
have the closest union and organiza
tion of all their forces for the realiza
tion of speedy victory. For this rea
son, in accord with the Duma of the
empire, we have considered it desira
ble to abdicate the throne of Russia
and lay aside our supreme power. Not
wishing to be separated from our be
loved son, we leave our heritage to
our brother, the Grand Duke Michael
Alexandrovitch, blessing his advent to
the throne of Russia. We hand over
the government to our brother in full
union with the representatives of the
nation, who are seated in the legislat
ive chambers, taking this step with
an inviolable oath in the name of our
well-beloved country. We call on all
faithful sons of the fatherland to ful
fill their sacred patriotic duty in this
painful moment of national trial and
to aid our brother and the representa
tives of the nation in bringing Russia
into the path of prosperity and glory.
May God aid Russia.”

(Skagway Alaskan.)
The latest use to which an Alas
kan plans putting the aircraft is the
carrying of copper ore, according to
the following item which appeared in
a recent issue of the Spokane Chron- .
icle.
J. M. Nelson, of McCarthy, Alaska,
is in Spokane to contract for the pur
chase of one of the Harvey-Campbell j
aircraft if he finds it will do the work j
claimed for it. He proposes to use it.1
to carry molybdenite ore from his
mine and to carry in supplies. The
machine is the flexible dirigible type
of flyer.
"This is just what I want,” said Mr.
Nelson, "if it has the carrying capa
city claimed for it at anything like the
cost suggested. Before agreeing to
take one I shall probably return in the
spring and see the thing fly, or I will
send mv nartner.
“Our property is r>0 miles from Mc
Carthy, situated at the head of a g! •
eier, where it is difficult to get in and
out. ,Su<'h a means of travel would he
useful all the year, but in winter it
would be especially valuable. The
Spokane manufacturers say it will be
able to carry a ton ami make the trip
of 50 miles in a little more than an
hour, at about the cost of running an
automobile.
“Molybdenite is worth about >1.00 i
pound* We have a ledge about eight
feet wide, with Hi inches of pure ore.
Our claim is called the Giant.’’
NKW STRIKK IN TOLSTOI
REVIVES INTEREST THERE
\M> ENCOURAGES MINERS;
(Iditarod Pioneer.)
A revival of interest in the Tolstoi
district is noted this week as a result j
of a reported new find on Iron creek, i
A hole sunk to bedrock disclosed val
ues approximating $1 to the foot, and
further prospecting is being carried on
in the vicinity of the find.
Recent arrivals from the Tolstoi re-j
port that there was a considerable
rush to the new creek when the news
i reached the town of Tolstoi, and that
the entire creek was staked during one
night.
The point at which the strike was
made is on a narrow section of the
creek, and it has not been determined
whether it can be considered pay, and ^
further prospecting will be watched
with interest.
It is stated that live prospecting
boilers have been taken to Iron creek
within the past few days, and much
work is contemplated.
There have been no new develop
ments on Midway creek, where excel
lent prospects were recently reported.
The recent developments in the Tol
stoi have given much encouragement
to prospectors and miners in that vi
cinity. While there is no excitement,
it is generally conceded that the field I
presents an ideal prospecting propo
sition. The quite extensive pay on
Boob creek, while not sufficient in it
self to establish a camp of any size,
will, it is believed, form the nucleus
for one which will be augmented by
each additional creek opened up to the
miner. Altogether the outlook for the
Tolstoi district is considered most
promising.
Deming Wheeler, the “Mysterious
Musher,” whose travels through
Alaska for several years past have
been a source of much speculation,
left Chitina recently with a four
horse rig en route to Fairbanks. Hi'
is accompanied by his wife and her
brother and several hired men. Noth
ing is known of the destination of the
party but it is believed to be the Mt.
McKinley region. Heretofore he hie
always made h^ trips by dog team.

At a largely-attended meeting held
in the drafting room of the general
office building of the Alaskan Engi
neering commission on Wednesday
evening, preliminary steps were tak
en toward forming an engineer com
pany for service in the states or
elsewhere in the event of war, says
the N'enana News of February 10.
The meeting was called to order by
Thomas Riggs, Jr., member of the
Alaskan Engineering commission, who
explained briefly the manner of or
ganization and the status of such a
company in the army. He said that
N’enana was the first town in the ter
ritory to anticipate a call for volun
ters, and that he hoped to see Alaska
first among the units to be accepted,
for he felt that northerners would
prove invaluable to the army. He
explained further that it would be
impossible to do more than organize
at this time, since it would require
considerable time to train and other
wise prepare for service.
Mr. Riggs said that he stood ready
to give up his position to enter the
serv re of his country as a member of
the proposed company, and numerous
others of those present expressed
them.fives in like manner, a spi it of
intense patriotism prevailing through
out tlm meeting.
When the list was presented for
signatures 87 put their names down,
and several have signed the roster
since, bringing the total up to 91.
The list will be kept open until .he full
quot i of 160 names have been se-1
cured.
Immediately following the meeting, |
Mr. Riggs wired Secretary of War!
Uak"i offering the services of the new i
romp! ny, but no reply has as yet |
been received.
