i Just before going to press our
| “Sherlockko” observed a flock of
about 250 ducks flying n a west
erly direction about a half-mile
from the beach, off the mouth of
Snake river.
(This ought to be sufficient to in
dicate the. proximity of the break-1
up.)
I
In answer to a query.-—We phoned
to the Coast Guard Station, and
one of the efficient members of the
crew informed us that the following
item is entered in the Log book
which is kept by Captain Ross at
the aforesaid Station.
"The gasoline steamer Standard
was the first vessel to leave Nome
[during the spring of 1917. She
i took her departure for Solomon on
! May 30th, in command of Captain
. Week man.”
Credited to names who have hut
lately begun to play this great in
door Athletic game.
Among those bowling over 200
yesterday were, Henry - 244;
Sather. 228; Reed, 227; Rabien, 225
Huff, 214; and Holozoff, 205.
BOWLING SCORES
Following the dog races, the
pool tournament and not to mention
it—the election, Bowling promises
to hold the greatest interest to
[ ward end of the closed season.
New players are seen on the
j Nome Alleys daily, and high scores
| are being frequently recorder.
—
John A. Wilson and Dune Mc
Lean returned yesterday afternoon
after a trip to Irou Creek and Shel
ton. At the latter place the season
was found more advanced than at
Nome and the trip to Taylor had
to be abandoned. There is hardly
any snow left in the Kougarok
and the rivers are opening up.
Crossing at Shelton is hazarduous
and the narrow channels are open
along the edges, necessitating cau
tion in crossing from side to side.
The Pilgrim river is also over
flowing. Geese and ducks were seen
and the drumming of the ptarmigan
wias heard in the land. The latter
are fairly plentiful along the Pil
grim, but are still almost pure
white, indicating a late season. Over
the Nome river divide comng back
the winter seemed in full blase,
although there is running water in
a few of the streams and Nome
river had overflowed during the
warm spell, lsador Fix, proprietor
of the Shelton Roadhouse, after
staying several days rt Chace’s
at Dexter waiting for the weather
to tighten, left yesterday morning
for his home. Jack Gale, after
taking up supplies for Benson and
partners on Iron Creek, made a de
tour to Shelton Sunday before going
b-.ck to Nome.

It is rumored around town that
tho dredge crew in tho oajhy of
t’-3 Eskm> Drsdging Company at
Solomon, recently quit work in a
body on account of the representa
tive of the aforesaid company refus
ing to pay the lady cock the Union
scale of wages, which is as fallows.
Not less than $5.00 nr..'. bo>.rd per
Cry for eight-hour-; work.
The cock w s hired for .,100.00
per month, and later her wages
was $125.00 per month.
(They have to come up another
notch yet to conform with the
Union scale.)
Carl Jorgesen, Fred Olson, Ernest
Linden and Ed Webb arrived yes
terday from Dime creek. Thoy
left on May 5th. Practically every
camp was closed down. The miners
down there are standing pat for j
$6.00 and board per day of eight
hours work. Nass, Glassner, Modini
and Hager have about 18 men em
ployed. They conceded to the mens
demands.
A mass meeting was held on
April 25th, and every wage worker
in the camp attended. It was
unanimously adopted that the wage
scale be set at $6.00 and board for
an eight hour work-day, same to
take effect on May 1st, 1918.
It is reported by the recent ar
rivals that the operators will be
forced to givei in to the workers
demands. If they expect to sluice
their winter dumps with the snow
water. It was emphatically stated
to us that the men down there are
determined to stand togther and en
force their demands if the operators
desre to do any mining.
The. majority of the late arrivals
are Registrants. (A committee was
appointed at the mass meeting to
interview Lar3 Gunderson the local
Food Administrator in regard to
the high price of the necessaries
of life at the aforesaid camp.
About 20 longshoremen are at
present employed by the Alaska
Lighterage and Commercial Com
pany, fixing lighters etc, preparatory
to launching.
They are working in accordance
with the eight hour system estab
lished by the different Unions. They
are receving in remuneration for
their labor one dollar and twenty
five cents per hour.
