O. K. Kjos, the representative of
the Western Dry Goods Co., who was
in Nome last summer has written
in to local customers warning them
that the prices are all gone away up
between 26 and 76 per cent. He
says that prices should be advanced
in Nome as next year these high
prices will be regarded as low. He
says that a carload of denim which
six months ago. cost $9,Q00 nokr is as
high as 123,000 and that is only one
instance. * It is to be hoped that
some sort of slump takes place that
hits these high pricers where the
hen got the axe. .

fers to the contempt cases which
arose from the gambling arrests
made last spring in Nome and
wherein the men refused to testify
lest they incriminate themselves.
Hugh O’Neill and Geo B. Grigsby

Mr. O’Neill yesterday sought to

No. scientist is coming forward to
explain the continued cold wave ex
cept just to explain that the Winter
is unusually severe. When mild
winters supervene there arises the
Japanese current man to declare
that the balm is due to that equit
able ocean stream. Anything would^>
be welcome in the present deadlock
of cold which is bombarding the coal
pile with unusual violence. The fact
that there is no Arctic ice in Bering
Sea, which is lit rally a fact, has not
resulted in the expected mildness
of the winter for the cold comes
across country and front the North
pole itself these days. The change
of the moon and the eclipse thrown
in fnr smrul nlsn fnilprl tn
]
make any change in the uniform
clearness of weather and noticeably
low thermometers. Even the most
experienced and weatherwise have
gi\en up any further forecasting.
Furmen are just now up in the air
over the flunctuating prices and do
not know where to get off at. They
are afraid to start in buying al
though th fur market is holding up
well, lest such another slump take "
place as followed the buying of last
summer. The natives are bolding 3
out for higher prh as. Some mis- jj
cionaries have told the natives at 5
Deering or elsewhere that they 5
would pay fifteen for white fox and jj
for this reason they are not getting J
local dealers to do very much buy- I
ing. Thirteen dollars is the price j
that Shismareff natives want for J
white fox while at Taylor they turn- 5
ed down offers of twelve a pelt: this j
with the market outside by no jj
means very firmly set at fifteen. The j
main source of concern for buyers S
is that with the native dealing is $
no longer the simple affair it used j
to be, when the unsophisticated g
aborigine took what he could get. j|
Now the native fur trapper has the |
market prices at his fingers’ ends |j
and the wily dealers have not such jj
an easy job as before getting some
thing for nothing. :
News arrived from Seattle oil 1
Monday’s mail that John Sclilapfor,
the well known miner and sack
buyer died two days after landing
in Seattle of an illness contracted
going out oil the boat. Sehlapfer
who was a very saving man worked
his way on the last boats. On the
journey outside however he took
sick and had to give up work. On
machine Seattle lie was taken to
the Providence Hospital where lie
died on November 24. John who
was an old timer was regarded as a
very healthy man who toughed it
out in the stormiest weather. He
has considerable mining property
although as to its value there may
he some question. He sold some
real estate to Charles Milot just be
fore he left. Schlapfer was a mem
ber of the Miners Union but had
taken a withdrawal card before he
departed for Seattle. He is also said
to be a member of the Foresters
He had considerable money with
him it is understood. and had in
tended to go to Switzerland when he
left here as he had two sisters resi
dent there of which country he was
a native. Exposure and hard work
the lot of the miner and prospector
in this country had undermined a
naturally hardy constitution.
Schlapfer had many friends and no
enemies, and while a unique charac
ter in many ways was universally
liked and his death will be deeply
regretted.
