The reported strike on the Stuyahok
rirer seems to be of some magnitude.
Latest information receivd from Mar
shall states that Joe Darling an ex
perienced and well known miner of
the lower Yukon has bought two
claims on the scene of discovery for
$20,000.
The Stuyahok riven on which this
strike is reported to have been made
is a tributary of the Bonsilla river
which enters the Yukon about twenty
miles above Holy Cross Mission.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Attorney Fred Harrison from
Marshall has moved his offices to
Nome may be found in Rooms 0 and
10 Wild Goose Building.
Telephone Main 118.
Karl Reinich, who with his brother
is prospectng on Glacier creek ar
rived in town on business recently. He
stated that the surface frost extends
to the unprecedented depth of from
seven to nine feet and that there is.
less snow on Glacier and its vicinity
than there was last year at thiB time.
The hills are virtually bare and lack
its usual winter covering of the beau
tiful. The ptarmigan are also con
spicious by their absence.
A telegram from Joe Crabtree of
Marshall, a well-known former oper
ator of Nome, contains the informa
tion that he has Just returned from
a trip to the new strike on Stuyahok
river and that they have found good
prospects on the benches and that
there is a fine chance for a camp to
develop. It seems that all the Mar
shall population has decamped for the
new diggings and the reports coming
back are very encouraging. The
camp is located 12 miles from the
Yukon and about 50 miles in an air
line N. E. from Marshall and Is on the
border of the Second and Fourth Di
visions, but most likely in the Fourth

MASON SOCIAL
All Marsons, their families and lady
friends are cordially invited to at
tend a social at Masonic Temple, Fri
day February 21st at 8:30 p. m.
At a meeting of the Directors of the
Nome Chamber of Commerce, reports
of the sub committees regarding mat
ters which had been placed in their
hands were handed in. The commit
tee on transportation made some val
uable suggestions regarding the de
velopment 'of this district thru
changes in the present transportation
system.
It was recommended that telegrams
be sent to the Chamber of Commerce
of all important Alaskan cities to ask
for their co-operation to obtain cheap
er transportation rates from the
Steamship lines at present doing bus
iness in Alaska and if this should be
impossible to obtain to jointly use
every effort to have the government
take over all transportation. It was
further recemmended that later on
a committee of five men composed of
persons living in the States but who
are chiefly interested in the develop
ment of Alaska should be appointed
to work in conjunction with the local
Chamber of Commerce to carry out
the future plans of the organization.
The committee is of the opinion that
solving the transportation problem
will be of the utmost benefit to Alas
ka, as it is at present its greatest
drawback. .,Tbe committee on mails
and telegraphs i»ras instructed to in
vestigate the possiblity of having the
Nome, Teller telephone line, which
has been out of commission for a
number of yeays repaired. The com
mittee will make every effort to se
cure a mail exchange and wireless
communication with Siberia. D E
Crowley was appointed to look into
the matter of securing aerial mail ser
vice and aerial commercial facilities.
The Chamber also requested the
public to loan to the Chamber photos
and views of mining operations in this
district for publication in an illus
trated pamphl<4, descriptive of the
resources of this district which the
chamber is going to issue next sum
mer.
The majority of Nome’s population
attended the Roosevelt Memorial
Services held at Eagle Hall last Sun
day under the auspices of the local
Board of National Defense. A de
tachment of soldiers from Fort Davis
also attended.
The addresses made by local ora
tors virtually covered all phases of
Roosevelt's life and activities. Thos
McGann spoke on Roosevelt's early
life and was followed by Attorney
Fred Harrison who, in a scholarly ad
dress emphasized his qualities as a
statesman. Four small pupils of
Nome's public school were heartily
applauded for a recitation. Mayor
O. J. Lomen whose theme of address
was “Roosevelt as Soldier and War
rior” showed the remarkable qualities
possessed by Colonel Roosevelt, which
were mainly b-stii mental in the V ti
led States taking r foremost rank
among the great j ewers.
Following Mayor Lomen, Miiss
Edith Olson rendered a vocal selec
tion, followed by an encore which
was judging from the applause, great
ly appreciated by the audience.
Mr O. D. Cochran’s address extoll
ed Colonel Roosevelt as the highest
type of American citizen, whose one
and only aim was his patriotic regard
for his country. After the conclusion
of Mr Cochran’s address, Co C. 30th
Infautry sang ibe ?iar Spangled Bus
ier and were loudly applauded.
Rev Chas Shank, who discussed
Colonel Roosevelt as a moralist,
pointed out that his influence on the
moral life of the nation had been
supreme and that owing to the
strength of his character and his
moral qualities he ranked with
George Washington as “First in
Peace, first in war and first in the
hearts of his countrymen.” Captain
Cummings of St Michael, was caller
upon by Judge Holzheimer, the
chairman, for an address. Captain
Cummings expressed his pleasure in
being able to visit Nome and stated
that be was desirous of promoting
closer social relations between the
military forces at Fort Davis and thq
civilian population. He announced
his intention of promoting several
dances during t is ay at Fort Daviv
After the singing of America by
the Audieiue the meeting closed with
the mounrfm strain of "Taps” by
br.glors from Fort Davis.
The address to be delivered by
Father Ruppert on Roosevelt as a
writer and scholar had to be omitted
owing to the absence of Fother Rnp
pest who is detained at the Hot
Springs by illness.
The big clock has been set back
five and one half mnutes and now
indicates qorrect 165th Meridian
Standard time. The 165th Meridian
passes through Cape Nome and Nome
is 26 minutes of longitude w^| of
It. The time on this meridian is just
three hours slower than Pacific tme,
or 11 hours slower than Greenwich
time. Stellar observation for the de
termination of time were taken by
John A. Wilson with a sextant and
artificial horizon. As a good many
have a rather hazy conception of the
terms “correct time” we will endeavor
in a future issue to describe what is I
meant by this term and the various j
methods used in the determination of j
time.
