The white whales are running now
in considerable abundance. F'our
more were captured in the nets close
by the mouth of Snake river in the
Bering Sea on Thursday and some
again yesterday rewarded the labor
of the fishermen.
Tn these days when the price of furs
is so high, it is a wonder that more
men who have the lust for the outside
do not turn their attention to this
likely way of beating the sysem. It is
safe to say that with a fair outfit, one
who had a knowledge of trapping will
do better at this than seeking a buyer
in the labor market outside.
Political activity is not very ap
parent on the surface of things just
now. but there’s an old saying about

In connection with the situation as
far as local politics are concerned.
There’s a mighty under current that

Ban P M’Donald arrived on his own
launch on Thursday evening from
Bluff city—or what there’s left of
that once famous mining camp. There
was little happening at Bluff of a
newsy nature for like every other sec

on active mining to a great extent
thruout the season.
Dave Kristan received a telegram

stating that Jake Kristan was serious

A later telegram received this af

FAREWELL DANCE
A Farewell Dance will be given to
the Fort Davis boys and those on
board the Revenue Cutter Bear, at
Eagle Hall, Saturday night, nine
o’clock. Admission $1.00, Ladies
Free. Proceeds to go to the Red
Cross. Music by the Nome Ochestra.
Rev. Thomas will preach in the
Federated Church Sunday evening.
The Cordova brot down about 45
passengers from the north, mostly
from Kotzebue Sound ports. The
steamer called at Teller coming down
to Nome. On board the Cordova is
a large consignment of canned salmon
trout the product of the season’s
packing of the Midnight Sun cannery.
Quite a large quantity of salmon bel
lies etc is also on board.
The finest exhibit of turnips ever
grown in Nome, and the product of the
gardening genius of Charles Brown, is
to be seen in the store of Hancock and
Yong where the same are exposed for
sale. These turnips which are of the
Russian variety are solid and firm
and large and indicate great possi
bilities for those who go in for horti
cultural pursuits in this camp. Mr
Brown said that in growing these he
made one important discovery and
that is that the less the turnips were
watered the better they grew. Those
which were well watered did not grow
nearly as large as the turnips which
received little or none.
Plans have been all completed for
giving the men to be inducted into the
National Army on October 1 a fare
well dance before they don the uni
form of the government for service
in the army. The committee having
the matter in charge has succeeded
beyond its hopes in completing the ar
rangements and a splendid time will
be enjoyed by all who attend. For
many of the young men it will be the
last appearance in Nome’s social whirl
n civilian clothes.
At nine o'clock this morning the
welkin rang with fire whistles, can
non and the roar of syrens when the
Fourth Liberty Drive was inaugurat
ed in the city. Flags and bunting
idorned the flag staff at the coast
?uard station and the rocket mortar
tired a number of salutes to the day
ind the hour. The late rising Nbine
tes woke from pleasant dreams to ex
ijnine their wallets to investigate
row much was available for contri
lution to the big loan to Uncle Sam.
The Cordova will be in these waters
tor a considerable time yet and will
lot get away from this section before
Dctober 10. Outgoing the Cordova
will take from Nome fifty first and
ibout 26 steerage passengers.
A number of miners from the Lost
■iver tin mine arrived on the Cordova
this morning. The work will be con
tinued during the winter mainly in
Iriving the tunnel further and tim
bering etc. All agree that the mine
is showing up well and that the future
is bright for this property.
George D. Schofield arrived on the
Dordova after an extensive trip thru
lut the Peninsula and an inspection
if mining properties in which he is
interested.
Albert Madson arrived from Iron
meek last evening. He brot two pas
sengers with him, these were Nick
'Jikkon and Harvey Grant who have
seen mining in the Casa. The miners
nade the trip via American river over
:o Iron creek roadhouse where they
•onnected with the Kougarok railroad
;o Nome. Almost all working is sus
jended in the Case, Adams and Wick
were however still operating on Goose
meek when these miners left.
More rain fell this morning, but
niners report it so cold in the hills
hat frost was much more in evidence
han water. It snowed in the higher
jarts of this section last night.
Olaf Nelson who arrived on the
Cordova reports a strike made on
California creek where he and Fer
guson are working. He will buy a
quantity of steam hose and points and
ahip these up to the ground where he
will work this winter. The pay is re
ported to be uniform, and while on
the bench is so slightly off the creek
bed that it bears out the view that
the pay is in the old river channel.
It has been sufficiently good for the
miners to regard the future of the
creek with absolute confidence. Cal
ifornia creek is located in the Shung
nak section of the upper Kobuk and
within the well known gold bearing
areas of that famous river and its
tributaries.
Barney O’Reilly, Deputy United
States Marshal of the Kobuk precinct
arrived on the Cordova. Everything
is quiet on the Kobuk, with no devel
opments in mining to be worth while.
A number of Kobuk residents who
have been subpoenaed to appear be
fore the Grand Jury arrived on the
steamer this morning.
The Nokatak left for Unalakleet
where It will load up reindeer carcases
to be shipped outside. Slaughtering
has been proceeding for some time and
the meat is to be shipped for outside
consumption where the reindeer flesh
is getting to be greatly appreciated.

Along thy way, up to thy gate.
Let me hold myself, soon and late,
And all time to thy hand and to thy fate.

Each every step the beginning and the last—
