Ed Roberts left a day or so ago
for Council. Reports from Council
show that the recent rains have
supplied a generous amount of
water for all hydraulic work and the
ditch kept the Roberts operations

Johnson accompanied him. They
went down with the mail team.
Reports have reached Nome that
drilling on a creek in the Marshal
section resulted in the discovery
of a narrow streak of exceedingly
rich pay. Its general extent has not
been determined, but it is very nar
row where the drill encountered it.
as has been shown after drilling
across It It is however said to
make up for this narrowness by its
extreme richness of concentration.
The story concerning this strike is
to the effect that one of the own
ers who gave a corporation an op
tion of the ground and which op
tion lead to the driilng received a
wire to this effect. Further details
or their accuracy are not known.

Mr. Baker who is bringing on an

Dawson as well as Alaskan interior
towns, says that the new Nanana
railroad town is the banner of them
all. It has a payroll. When you
have a pay roll in a town, and the
other fellow is producing money for
the rest, things go along finely.
When there’s no such thing—well
it’s not very good. Mr. Baker will
exhibit several lines here in the

Yesterday afternoon, after being
out about five minutes, the case of
Mueller versus Goggin was decided
by a verdict from the jury for the
defendant. The case on the face if it
arose from the .recent erection of
teh grocery building of the defend
ant, the complainant alleging tha'
it overlapped a couple of inches.
Thereupon the case involved the
question o’ the accuracy of the sur

technical feature in this regard,
questions of metes and bounds,
course and distances, street laterals,
cosines of angles and so forth fall

SOME i’l'P—WITH SOME PEP!
By Mrs. E. B. DAK LING
Francis James O’Connor “likes
some pep in dog. you hot”; he made
this little statement and* we’re pond
ering o’er it yet. Just to prove he
really meant it lie selected, at a
chum, a dog named Dubby Darling
Miles—at.'I that was going some!
Dub followed Frank to business, to
the ( lub and Board ot Trade; they
say at dinner dances Dubby could
not be dismayed. The graveyard
and tlii> i liurch were all these busy
two would slight while sharing nil
excitemeii s from a “hoist-feat" to a
tight. But Francis James once
sailed away across the briny deep,
and Dubby's grief o'ercame him so
he could not eat or sleep tie
sought the home of Francis and he
found it lone and drear—no kind
familiar greetings and no steak
bones there to cheer. Se he lost
his mind completely and became a
raving “Nut”, ar.d he changed this
gorgeous mansion to a Hun in
vaded hut Why, I’ll wager shat
tered Verdun was a tidy sight and
fair, compared to Frank O’Connor’s
when our Dubby finished there.
Some neighbors thought O'Connor
and his gentle little wife were hav
ing disagreements on the European
strife; while others that a movie
p an was staging for a show the San
Francisco earthquake or a crushing
Flanders blow. Dub sought to find
oblivion in their spotless beds.
Alas! to slumber in that staie of
nind would take some dope or gas.
He tore the white laced curtains till
they looked like foamy spray; *he
window shades were ribbons letting
in the glare of day; the spices from
the pantry shell were scattered far
and wide till song-famed Aral.v itself
would smell like this with pride.
The flour bin and the coal hod had
exchanged respective wares; no
longer will the dish mop know
this sordid world of cares; there
wore whiskey bottles rampant,
cocktail glasses in tl c sink—there
was everylhing but water for the
grief-struck dog to drink. All this
brings one conclusion, a sad one hut
it’s true you’d best choose friends
and pets from out the W. C. T. U„
