John Brower says that work is
plentiful and wages high outside,
but the high costs of living are in
creasing faster than the wages and
hence such high wages are not
what they seem. He says that In

getting in Easy Street—except such
as those who sit down and expect
crops to take care of themselves.

Andrew Olson who had his broken
limb taken out of the cast on last
Friday night is now convalescing
rapidly. Dr. Mustard made a very
successful job of the injured limb;
it is a perfect knit without any
shortening or deformity of any kind.
Otto Mills another patient of Dr.
Mustard is getting along very nicely
in the Hospital and will soon be able
to be up and around. Sam Drecum
whose injuries on the claim at Mon
roeville were not of a serious na
ture is rapidly recovering himself.
An abundance of seal is arriving
in Nome now, but owing to an ex
cess of supply the natives have a
difficulty in disposing of them. With
open water extending from the
beach a few miles from Nome, the
opportunities for hunting are above
the ordinary. The natives are sorry
that the bill providing bonus of five
dollars on every 1 hair seal killed
which some member of the legis
lature introduced, did not pass. They
believe that they could bankrupt the
treasury.
The native lady mentioned in this
clipping from an exchange is well
known in Nome where her evangel
istic disposition or her ignorance ot
"civilized customs’’ was not so con
spicuous as the article would have
people imagine: 4
“An Eskimo girl from Alaska,
confined in the Canyon City, Col.,
penitentiary, is planning to go back
to her people on the shores of Ber
ing Sea at the end of her long term
and teach them modern customs.
Miss Aplaruk or Carrie Fong Sing
is the first Eskimo prisoner the Co
lorado penitentiary has ever had.
Here the government is housing all
western convicts including Alaska.
The Eskimo girl .understood no
English and nothing of civilized
customs when she arrived at Canyon
City. She seemed utterly dazed.
Her plight interested Warden
Thomas, who started her education.
He had great difficulty in teaching
her the first few words of English,
but when these were first mastered
the girl suddenly began to show
keen intelligence and a desire to
learn the language and customs of
the white race. The warden be
lieves that when her sentence ex
pires she will be one of the best edu
cated women ever set foot in the
prison.”

A supposed mad dog, although
the animal did not manifest any
of the well known symptoms of ra
bies, was the object of police atten
tion yesterday and a merry hunt was
enjoyed by a posse of police and ci
tizens. The dog was still going south
when last seen and a number of ex
pert riflemen were plugging at him
in a long distance effort to destroy
him. In connection with the dis
temper that has been such a source
of loss to dogmen, one veterinarian
authority says that the so-called
distemper is nothing but a mild
form of rabies. This authority
urges that the bodies- of all these
dogs be carefully buried or cre
mated.

Apparently there is to be no
rush for city jobs this year, for all
talk of caucuses has been stilled. It
is understood that Judge Lomen has
an appointment with the councilmen
where the affairs of the city will be
gone over prior to the installation
meeting on Thursday night. No
change, it is safe to say, will be
made in the several departments as
the new- council is practi
cally the same as that
of the present with the ex
ception that Hugh O’Farrell will re
place the genial and efficient finance
chairman Dr. Wesley.

Miners and Merchants Bank.
Signs of spring are in the air
and there is a general movement of
miners, operators and dredgemen
to various camps where things will
be got ready for the summer. An
arrival from the Igloo says that he
encountered a great many men go
ing north and Candlewards to par
take in the gold production work
which will begin when the water
runs. Many are now en route to
Council, Dime and other camps, hop
ing to get over the ground before
the final break-up. The Pioneer
Mining Co. will soon put on a few
men on the work of clearing the
ditches, and while . the snow was
lighter during the winter past and
the work of clearing the ditches will
be consequently lighter, it is ex
pected that the season will begin
several weeks earlier than last year,
according to present indications.
The Alaska Lighterage and Com
mercial Co. expects to put on a few
men next Monday getting things
in shape for the opening of naviga
tion, while most of the mosquito j
fleet magnates have already been
overhauling their craft for several .
weeks and will have the schooners,
etc., read} when the ice goes out.
Shipping men expect great activity
along the coast this summer down
from Nome, owing to the healthy
reports v hich have been coming out
of Dime and Marshal and there is
likely to be big demand for both
passenger and freight space to St.
Mike's and the «Koyuk It is likely
that quite a number of boats wilt
be commandeered for this traffic.
