this connection it is interesting to
note that Mr. F. Connolly, an ar

the Ragle for the Kotzebue Sound
port which will enable him to reach
up the Xoitak whither he is going.
He has hr d Charlie Ross build for

Saturday. He makes no statement
relative to his plans except that it
may be described generally as a

he will build himselt when he
roaches the Noatak. It is not known
if information has reached them of
a strike in that not very much pros

John A. Wilson was a passenger
on the Silver Wave for Marshal,
where he is going to inspect road
needs in that district. As the Al
aska Road Commission is without
funds Cor the work, it is likely that
the Territorial Road Commission
may complete the construction of
the corduroy ron,d from the landing
to the creeks which is so badly
needed The extra expense will not
be very great while the need is
urgent.

Little dredging work, relatively
speaking, has as yet started up.
They are short on a considerable
quantity of repair material, ordered
but delayed owing to the rushed
condition of machine shops due to
war. How soon some of them will
be ready ij therefore problematical.
Frost also is bothering some of the
machines, according to reports re
ceived yesterday, for the slight
snowfull early in the winter allowed
the frost to penetrate to an unusual
depth in the ground.

The only wide open camp in Al

camp ha» dug itself a nice little

A little log cabin shelters the
gamesters where the gamblers have }

night. Currency runs short and

Commissioner shows up in the vic in

Hut that’s not all. They have a
dancing hall, popularly known as
the Monte Carlo where a couple of
ladies have initiated the wights ot
Dime into the Terplsehorean and
other Haec.hanalian mysteries that
may be referred to only as general
izations. Here the tyro readies
that stage of sociability wherein tie
is willing to whoop it up and whoop
it up lie does, with the help of the
steersmen who guide him to the
cabin where the real games are
placed. The delightful condition of
tilings lias raised the mischief witli
the camp, but some of the sharks
are a lot richer by their visits and
it’s a pretty prosperous field No
gold mine along the deposits ot
Dime creek have produced the
wealth that that cabin has returned
to those who have operated the
games and the figures are prodigi
ous as to the limits played. It is
evidently no place for pikers. One
mail lost as high as fourteen hund
red, another four hundred and an
other a couple of hundred within a
short time. If this keeps up the
green elotli will tie able to liny
steam yachts. So too with the la- '
dies. A recent fair one from the
direction ot St. Michaels is said to
have amassed a fortune in the
dance hall put her sisterhood from
otherwlieres in the shades. It's a
pretty easy ramp with the lid oft
and the limit thrown into the creek.
That's the statement of fact which
returning Dimeites bring to Nome.
