One report has it that there is an
unusual demand for tickets on out
going steamers. The Umatilla steer
age list was very considerable con
sidering the time of the season and
it is likely that the Victoria will
carry out another large batch. Th:
reports from the outside are not
all rosy, but there is doubtless lot3
of work and laborers will doubtless
have less trouble connecting with
an employer than In this neck of the

All the ditches are indicating a
freshet from the creeks and pups

Yesterda' morning the ease of
Mueller versus Goggin was called in
the Distric Court and is now being
heard before a jury impanelled for
that purpose. The case involves
the question whether or not the new
store building overlaps on the pro
perty of A. J. Mueller the well
known jeweller. The jury was se
cured yesterday afternoon and most
of the tint ' of the court was occu
pied in hearing the expert testimony
of Civil E gir.ecr Blake who made
a survey o: the disputed section of
the property. Another feature of
the case was the appearance !n
court of the official plat of the city
of Nome which usually graces the
city clerk’s office. Mr. Grimm being
subpoenaed himself to bring the
maps to tlie court. For the plain- j
tiff appear- Vttorney Hugh O'Neill
and for the defendants Attorneys j
Cochran and T. M. Reed.

Mr. Shallitt who arrived on the
first fleet is interested in directing
attention to a fact may have some I
importance in the economic life of
Nome as a mining camp. Mr. Shal
litt took out samples of a seam of
what he thought was a form of
graphite and went iright to ttie geo
logical headquarters in Washington. !
They examined the stuff brought
out and told him that what he had
showed them was a kind of semi
antlinn it coal no less. He said
that tli*1 vein from which it was
taken was onfV about an inch wide
wide. They said that this was
merely the superior streak of a
former carbonaceaous deposit and
that without question if he sunk '
deeper, the probabilities were that
he would encounter another seam
of larger size and better determined
purity of coal. This is close by
Mountain creek and within close
distance, ix miles of Nome. lie lias
been endeavoring to secure co-ope
ration in the matter of sinking this
prospect -haft, costing only about
two or three hundred at the most,
he finds men of money chary of em
barking upon this enterprise. He is
confident of the result of this work
and points out the immense import
ance to Nome of a coal mine within
six miles which would likely enough
be able to lay down coal for eight
or ten dollars a ion. lie invites coal 1
miners o! experienre to examine his
claims on which he has done the
assessment work, and he says that
ho would stand or fall by such an
expert report. However if local men
do not wish to embark with him
on this enterprise, he intends to try
elsewhere, feeling satisfied that his
coal property will eventually solve
the mining problems of Nome in
some days of the not so far distant
future. The coal taken out already
burns well and leaves little impuri
ties behind.
