Scouting is the term used by a

work of some gambling interests
who are giving the beach line the
once over for live ones and inci
dentally giving them the steer to
where they can woo dame fortune
for dimes or dollars by the pang,
black jack or poker route. It is
stated that there has been quite a
revival of business among the men
who make a speciality of games of
chance.

Recent reports show that the fur
market is unaccountably active with
big buying in all long furs, especi
ally foxes. The lynx that were sup.
posed to have been a drug on the
market and whicfl were slumped as
to price on the Yukon have been
grabbed up by the dealers outside
in jig time. There is no explana
tion offered for this inflation, but
all fur sales show a steadying tend
ency.

A good many orders are being

Fred Oruake had the hook thrown
at him for “frequenting a bawdy
house’ 'in the municipal court when
Judge Grimm enriched the city trea
sury by the sum of $100 and costs.
Oruake is a comparatively new arri
val and lie created a disturbance. in
the rooms of a colored woman on
Thursday. He was arrested yester
day morning and at five o’clock
placed on trial on the above charge
He made quite a defense, admitted
that he went to the house of the
lady to collect some money she
owed him, had done some work for
her and she had rented him a room.
The City Attorney asked for the
maximum penalty for the case. Is
this the beginning of a prosecution
of Nome macques, or is it merely
the ending? Oruake is not the
only one in town. There have been
several here long before he came
and the are not prosecuted. In

Mr. F W. Cobb who with Mrs.
Cobb recently arrived from St.
Michaels intends to remain in Nome
for some rime. Mr. Cobb was form
erly in command of the editorial
deck of the Nugget. He has been
prospecting in the interior of Al
aska and looking for what is sel
dom the object of the prospector's
search: pearls. He says that he had
the misfortune to find in the lakes
tributary to the Iditarod several
beds of mussels and in some of them
baroque pearls. He was told by
scientists that if he could come
across a bed of dying mussels he
would probably find a rich pearl
bed . It appears that ducks leave
behind excreta containing germs
which have lived in the water and
the mussels feeding upon the ex
creta absorb the disease germs
which for self protection they en
cyst within their shell with a cal
careous deposit thus forming the
pearls of commerce. Unfortunate
ly he was not successful except in a
small way. and he was obliged for
the present to abandon the search
in which he is however still inter
ested. He thinks well of the An
dreafski diggings and thinks there
will be many men working in the
Marshal camp this winter. The
Kuskokwim country too is looking
up and he has hopes that it will
eventually be considerable of a pro
ducer.

Engineer Kitchin and a native 1
seaman arrived from the wreck of
the Sea Wolf last night coming
down from York on the Standard.
The native said “After we go ashore
Henry, he say how can grub last if
you eat him up. So we go”. The
mariners were reduced to rice and ,
this slender provender was insufiici
cient to maintain the whole crew,
so lest they share the fate of little
Billiee of whom they “made a
frieasee' , Chief Engineer Kitchen
and the native left. It was about
nine days ago when the Sea Wolf 1
war. beached in quite a storm. The :
boat slid gently on the beach and
last night Cap. Whitlam of the
Arctic communicating with Witten
berg said the boat was safe and if
help was at hand they could get it
off. The two who arrived last night
after remaining a night by the boat
set out in a skin boat to Lap lagoon
crossing from there via Potatoe
Mountain to York whence they
started in a dory for Teller when
Captain Wagner picked them up
with his launch Standard. The
wreck took place within twenty
miles west of Shismareff and the en
gineer was quite frank in stating
that they didnt know where they
were, grub was short and that they
beached for exploration and replen
ishment purposes is the logical in
ference from his statement. Whit
lam told Wittenberg that the Sea
Wolf is safe and with very little
help could be saved. If the Bear
could give a hand Wittenberg thinks
that boat and cargo could easily be
brought to Nome.
