ALASKA NEWS ITEMS
AND TOWN TOPICS
The outside mail will leave this
morning.
Alvich and Warsing Will begin
drifting on some rich pay that they
have encountered on the Diamond L.
While it was but 6 or 7 below on
Xmas night, the strong wind made
it feel much colder.
Barney Coggins who is in town
for the holidays has already begun
operations on Dexter where he will
take out a dump.
The strong northerly wind that
blew on Xmas eve drove out some of
the ice so that patches of clear water
were visible yesterday morning.
A very heavy dispatch of tele
grams on Xmas evening detained the
operators all Sunday until a very
late hour.
The Industrial Worker staff is en
joying the flavor of a choice box of
havannas which “Yorkey” donated
for Xmas. Here’s to you, George,
and many happy returns.
Ben Nelson arrived from up the
beach to enjoy Miners Union
smoker. He may do considerate
prospecting after the first of the
year.
Post cards announcing taxes due
have been mailed by the city clerk
and ex-officio assessor. As Xmas
cards they were of course heartily
welcomed by all.
Nome merchants as usual have
cultivated strongly art for art sake
in the circulation of a considerable
number of very beautiful calendars
which are in high demanl.
Jack Ohrem who arrived in town
from Specimen where he Is operat
ing on No. 5 on a lease from Nick
Butler, reports progress with the
first shaft which is now reaching
bed rock.
» • ■ »
Hans Carlson and Hugh Donahue
expect to leave for Dime creek on
Wednesday morning. They had in
tended to leave earlier but business
matters delayed them in the Solo
mon district.
H. H. Bolander has a crew of men
who are now beginning operations
on No. 4 Bourbon. They have
cleaned out an old shaft which will
be used for all the operations at
present. If extensive pay is found
to warrant further exploitation of
this property, it is likely a new
working shaft will be sunk.
Jensen and Son have probably
about two more months work ahead
taking out the pay that they have
uncovered on the second beach line.
While the operations have been in
terrupted somewhat for the holi
days, they will be resumed in full
blast after New Years day.
J. VV. M’Leod and wife left yester
day for Oregon creek where M’Leod
and Sibley are taking out a winter
dump. They have some men em
ployed now blocking out pay.

Santa Claus arrived with great
ceremony on a reindeer sled at
Burgh's Hall yesterday where the
little children gave him a reception
worthy of his fame, while Santa
himself repaid them with gifts of all
sorts that made him more popular
than ever.

There is no end to the marital
successes of former Alaskans. Here
is a clipping from a San Francisco
paper which shows that a former
Nome miner has copped out the
Adelina Patti of the Pacific Coast:
"The marriage of Miss Catherine
Golchcr and Thurlow Cleveland
Brownell was a great surprise to
their mmy friends. The marriage
took place at the home of the bride
the Rev. Robert Powers officiating.
The bride is the possessor of a
beautiful soprano voice, and has
taken a prominent part in musical
affairs about the bay. She is the
soprano soloist of the First Presby
terian Church, and recently won the
solo prize at the International
Welsh Eisteddfod, which was held
during the Exposition at the Civic
Auditorium.
Brownell has mining interests, and
it is for that reason that the young
couple will go directly to Arizona
after the honeymoon, which will be
spent in the South.”

With an admirifllg audience look
ing on yesterday coming to the con
clusion that the better the day, the
better the deed, Scotty Allan
launched and started up his new
motor sled. As usually happens
when everyone is looking- on ready
to say “I told you so”, the ding
banned thing insisted upon miscon
ducting itself and steered badly, but
down on the ice the motor sled flew
to use a Homeric expression like the
mill tails of hell. Going about fif
teen or twenty miles on the ice with
three men aboard as luck would
have it again, the forward engine
timbers broke and wrecked the
machine The experiment showed
the inventor that he has ample pow
er, for at no time did he open it up
to full speed ever, while the machine
ran splendidly. The reason for its
bad behavior on the street was be
cause of the narrowness of the skids
making steering almost impossible.
Scotty had anticipated that and had
contemplated remedying what he
felt certain would be a defect. He
intends to re-build the sled at once
prcfitting by experience to make the
forward timbers heavier and more
strongly reinforced for the work
which will be expected of it. On
the whole the sled has shown that
the vehicle is constructed on the
right lines and is the key to the so
lution of autolocomotion in the win
ter time in Alaska.
