Yesterday afternoon a native
schooner arrived from out the coast.
The schooner comes from Hooper

the storms, the natives on board
being without food for eight days
until they replenished the inner

arrival. The schooner is now at
anchor in the roadstead.
Frank Waskey writing to friends
in Nome speaks optimistically of the
outlook for that camp. Joe Crab
tree lost no time getting to work
with his former partner. It is
estimated that the output for the
camp up to date is about sixty
thousand dollars, and most of them
had not got down to working fuli
blast when that advice was written.
One clean-up in the camp adjoining
Waskey was about $21,000. The
miners were all feeling very goon
over the situation, and the camp
was more or less booming. It was
intended to do big pospecting on the
benches this winter.

Yesterday coming up in a native
boat were Winkler, Peterson and
Chris Thompson, all arrived from
Dime. They bring full confirmation
of a rich strike report that had been
going the rounds from this creek
for they state 'that after punching
down a succesison of holes on the
fiecOnd and then on the third tier
benches, left limit. Valentine and
Eric Anderson had found good pay,
the best being that on the third ti^r
where three feet of pay v.a.3 en
countered and one foot of which
was worth twenty cents a pan. All
claims are staked to ‘he ton of the
divide, so there is no use stamped
ing, but the fact that the pay was
found in shafi3 on the second ano
third tier apart Indicates a wide
and uniform pay streak getting bet
ter as they ascend the hill. On the
right limit pay was also found but
not so uniform and it is stated that
it is spotted. Creek work is being
interfered wiih on account of a
water shortage Madsen anil Co. arc
sluicing every other day, Gawiloi
and Glorr being in the same fix. Ail
the cleanups made so far ny Mad
sen and Co. have be^n fully.up to
expectations. It is estimated that
the full total taken out this season
will be well over one hundred thou
sand dollars. Several ou'fita are
working on Sweepstakes, but on the
other creeks what work is being
done is merely in the nature of pro
specting. All have confidence in the
bench discovery and Dig w-irk is
being planned for the coming wi.i
ter. Thomrsan has a lease on
ground twenty feet ftorn the last
shaft sunk on the third tier wlic-re
the good pay was found and is no.v

FUNERAL NOTICE.
The Funeral of the late Mrs.
Ouimet will be held at St. Joseph's
Church Wednesday morning at nine
o'clock.
Mrs. Ouimet who wa3 stricken
with paralysis last Friday morning
died yesterday at about o’clock in
the Holy Cross Hospital. At no
time did she regain consciousness
but passed quietly away across the
great divide. The deceased lady is
a well known old timer, having ar
rived here with the argonauts of the
early days and since that time has
never missed a summer in Nome.
She came here with her family from
San Jose, California where she is
survived by a son, Ben Ouimet. She
is survived by her sons in Nome
Fred and Frame N. Vincent, her
daughter Mrs. John M'Givney, and
grandson Vincent Johnson. She was
greatly beloved by her wide circle
of friends, and her loss Is an irre
parable one to her family.
The remiuns will be sent out to
San Jose for interment.

Details of the work of the Ander
son party of the Stefanson explora
tion expedition in the Arctic would
be incomplete without some tefvr
ence to the work of the ethno
logist of t?ie expedition, Mr. Jen
ness. ■ He has had the unique expe
rience of passing seven months with
the natives alone, was adopted into
their tribe and had opportunities
for obtaining first hand information.
He has collected a mass of scientific
data which is of first rate import
ance and will no doubt add to the
ethnographic lore of the world. The
natives with whom Mr. Jenness
came into such close contact were
aborgines of Victoria land in the
far north. They have peculiar fa
mily customs, but the gentes and
other tribal forms of a later barbar
ism are not in evidence. They have
a close belief in spirits although
the fate of the dead arouses some
skepticism which tends to question
the very strong hold the belief in
spirits which {hey betray has over
them. Witch doctors are common
and magical formula not unknown.
Exchange of wives within certain
family restrictions is practiced but
promiscuity is not in evidence. Re
moved from the Whiteman tubercul
jsis and venereal diseases, scourges
af civilization, are practically un
known. Indeed there is no trace of
these diseases according to Mr. Jen
uess. Two priests were murdered
ay natives under peculiar circum
stances up North. These were mis
sionaries from Bear Lake who fol
lowed the mouth of Copper Mine
river until they met Eskimos. They
lived with them for some time and
then set out. to return to Bear Lake
n company with two natives. On
the way back the natives shot the
priests. The Mounted Police went
ifter the natives who did the kill
ing and arrested them taking them
to Herschel Island where they were
sxamined. The papers are now on
their way to Ottawa. Mr. Jenness
speaks the language fluently and Is
deeply interested in all ethonogical
questions. In Dr. Neuman he met
here a kindred spirit and they were
met, when on their way to the
3andSpit to interview local aborgines
yesterday by the Worker reporter.
