turbed over the weather conditions
and are beginning to wonder
whether this is going to be a year
when the scheduling of the race
for a late date in April is not ven
turing too far into the spring. Many
wise weather prophets say that the
weather will not again tighten to
any such extent as to affect the
trdils, but the weather prophet is
not appreciated in his own or any
other country and there you are.

This election whicii takes place
today, is in reality, one of the quiet
est ever held in Nome. There was
hardly a ripple of excitement
throughout the city yesterday and
nothing any way broke the outward
calm to indicate that big political
frame-up’s were in progress. That
the voting in some of the contests
will be close can almost be safely
foretold and the line up is such
that nothing is certain but the un
certainty.

was not very communicative. How

He speaks well of Disappointment

and opines that it will be a good

That Dime creek is looking up
well is the report of Leonard Sep
nala who with Louis Stevenson re
turned a day or so ago from that
camp. The most important recent
strike was made by Chris Knudson
and Jepson on a bench off No. G
above on the right limit where “you
could see the shiners in the dump''
and where Seppala himself panned
seven dollars and a half in one pan.
That’s not so dusty. On the left
limit benches off one, two and
three and four for three tiers are
showing up well and many are hoist
ing out dumps, using tripods, with
every indication of the pay lasting
On the creek too, several outfits are
hoisting pay and Dime creek looks
like something now. A fine coun
try is lying around waiting the pros
spectors to unfold further further
discoveries and it is reckoned that
the output this year will not be less
than $250,000.
The following petition was handed
in to Judge J. R. Tucker this morn
ing when the court informed the
petitioners that the petitioners for
and against the issuing of licenses
must be on file with the clerk of the
court April 20, after which action
in the matter will be taken:
Nome, Alaska, April 2, 1917.
To the Honorable J. R. Tucker,

Dear Sir:—The Nome Mine
