The rain which fell locally was
just sufficient to wet the feet of a few
ptarmigan, but not sufficient to give
all the fish in Nome river a decent
drink. As for mining—that was out
of the question.
Today the outlook is brighter.
Extremely heavy surfs accompan
ied by comparatively low tides has
been a feature of the storm which
prevailed for the past 24 hours. The
wind at one time showed a tendency
to swing to the southward but this
morning was again returning to the
westward point, from which it has
blown so steadily for over a month.
Mayor Lomen has issued a procla
mation declaring this afternoon a
holiday to honor the departing sol
diers who are soon to leave our midst.

Fred Bernoffsy, one of the oldest
timers near Hastings creek, was in
town yestrday for supplies. His min
ing operations have been somewhat
hampered by dry weather, but at that
he has been able to accomplish big
work. He was able to make and culti
vate a fine garden at his camp and
his turnips are the talk of that part
of the district.

Arrivals from Siberia state that
almost all the official world along the
northern coast, most of whom were
followers of the Kerensky regime,
left when the mail boat came and re
turned to southern points. Up to the
time of departure they had been en
forcing the regulations issued by the
Kerensky government. Now there is
practically no authority exercised
along the coast by any government
and an inter regnum, so to say exists.
How long this state of things will pre
vail no one knows.
The Valdez which has on board
seven thousand pounds of mail was
reported as due about four o’clock
yesterday. How the report originated
is not known, but in any event it did
not materialize. As the Victoria left
on Tuesday last, the steamer will ar
rive just about the time the Post
Office staff has cleared the Valdez
mail and settled down with everything
ready for the Victoria. The mails
arrive generally in lumps during the
summer time. The heavy surf which
prevails would in any event have
rendered the discharge of mail locally
impossible from the Valdez or any
other vessels, last evening and this
morning.
Attorney Harrison, the sole expon
ent and ornament of the legal profes
sion in the Wade Hampton precinct,
is now in Nome on business connected
with his profession. Incidentally
some politicians who are quick to
detect an ulterior motive in the pres
ence of even the most disinterested—
politically speaking—visitors, have
connected Mr Harrison's name with
a federal office which is already filled.
Mr Bonham, the Labor Depart
ment’s mediator, it is stated, has
made a distinctly favorable impres
sion upon all who have met him, and
it is felt that his work here is bound
to be rewarded with successful re
sults, even if no immediate agreement
is reached upon disputed matters.
Necessarily coming so late in the
season Mr Bonham is somewhat han
dicapped in his work, but he will,
without doubt overcome most of the
obstacles that he finds in his way as
far as his Immediate work in hand
is concerned.
Mr Keen who is drilling for oil in
the Cape Nome section was in town
yesterday attending to some mining
matters.
Bruner finished his contract sluic
ing up the dump of Frawley and Co.
Five men were employed at the work.
It was delayed by lack of water.
Sam Dipple was an arrival yester
day from the Submarine, where Mebes
and Co are very active taking out
the pay.
Tom Jensen who is operating in the
Jess creek section was in town yes
terday. His work is not affected by
the drought as there is lots of water
in his ditch.

The Barrack Square is having its
rural beauty spoiled temporarily in
the work of putting in trenches for
the purpose of leading steam pipes
up to the court house. In addition
the sewer is to run alongside the
box containing the steam pipe and the
old sewer is to be lifted. For this
purpose men have been busy digging
round it, so that it can be moved to
its new site.
Hendrick and partner have almost
completed the work of dismantling
the old Johnson dredge hull that
stood at the bend of Snake river near
its mouth. The timbers used in the
construction of this hull were perfect
pieces of clear fir and the wood is
just as sound as the day it went in.
They have been careful in taking
these timbers so that the wood will
be available for carpentering and
building work. They are just as good
as they day they were first used, ex
cept that they are tougher from seas
oning. A good many thousand feet
of first class lumber is being secured
from it.
Republican politicians are girding
up their loins, in a metaphorical
sense of course—for the coming fray
and are preparing to descend upon the
voting masses in a whirlwind drive to
elect their candidates. Plans have
been worked out for an aggressive
campaign according to one of the
many leaders of this party locally
and will soon be announced to the
dear peepul.
Conditions in the Port Clarence
section are better than in most of the
other camps in Seward Peninsula. The
tin dredge is losing no time and the
work on the ledge at Lost River is
being pressed by those in charge. It
is admitted that the outlook is grow
ing brighter for the development of
the' tin ore lodes in this section. The
demand for tin attracting much at
tention to this neglected field, which
has been the happy stamping ground
of so many promoters, many of whom
did more harm than good to the
legitimate prospects there.

The Arctic arrived yesterday after
noon from Kotzebue Sound and way
points bringing down the following
passengers. Dr. and Mrs C. Walsh,
Andy Shevlin, George D. Campbell,
Mrs H Robinson, Miss Helen Senescar,
and Mrs Josie C. Degenkalt, all front
Candle. Robert and Mrs It. Samms,
Kotzebue; F. D. Vincent, Deering; J.
Wilson, Harry Aught, Lost River; Ben
Bernard and M. Plrich, Teller.
Conditions in the northern camps
are bad, says Mr Ranke. Merchants
do not know where they are at.
Forty-six have announced themselves
as going to leave Candle this Fall, and
while fishing is practically over, the
uncertainly as to the price and sale
ability of the catch greatly diminishes
output. The dry season also had its
bad effectj The Candle Ditch Co has
not a man working with water peluk
and Hank Fries is coming down on
the next trip, the dredge being unable
to get enough water to keep afloat.
In addition he says that there is no
ticeable in many places a strained
relation between employers and em
ployees, as a result of the wage and
hour question. This adds to the un
certainty that prevails. The men want
the eight hour day and some of the
employers refuse to grant it.
Among the passengers who came
down, Andy Shevlin informed a Work
er representative that on Bear creek
Rydeen is working three eight hour
shifts. Mr Rydeen is one of the can
didates for the legislature by the
way. Shevlin and Rydeen reached
* an agreement whereby he sold his
interests to the latter.
