NOTE AND COMMENT
The southerly gales that have pre
vailed for the last few days have forc
ed the water back In Snake . River,
breaking the heavy ice nad leaving the
birdge in a somewhat dangerous posi
tion when the waters recede. At the
mouth of the river the waters have
piled the ice in hummocks which will
drift out when calmer weather prevails.
The recent snowfall has left the
trails to the creeks in excellent condi
tion and many operators are hauling
out supplies preparatory to underak
ing their winter work. Prospectors
are especially busy and if their indus
try is to have any reward some val
uable new discoveries may be ex
pected .
Work Is especially active on the sub
marine and it is said that one pros
pector has found five feet of 5 cent
dirt.; The lucky discoverer is Cap
Nellson, but we have been unable to
get confirmation of this humor one
way or another .
Letters received from Goldfield, Nev.,
show that the .old timers who left for
that country are now “sorry they did
it."
Business of all kinds is at a stand
still and the majority of mines which
were wildcats at best are now perm
anently closed with no prospects what
ever of reopening. Miners and busi
nessmen are alike hunting up new
fields and some of the business houses
that had the reputation of being unas
sailable are In financial straits.
Nome society “did itself proud” in
speeding the departing ones on the
last boats of the season , but it Is safe
to say that if the "common” miners
were to imitate the high jinks of the
departing four hundred they would be
gathered into the bastile and mulcted
of fines for the improvement of the
city. A high old time and a glorious
jag seems to have characterized the
parting scene of the fittest who survive.
We don’t- hear so much-about the
vas number of men who were going
to be employed around Noms this win
ter since the last boat went out.
Indications are, however, that there
will be a number of union men em
ployed during the coming season, as
preparations are underway to open up
*
several mines it was thought at an
early date would not work during the
wlner.
The Pioneer Mining. Company will
operate extensively.

WAGES LOW
AT PRINCE
RUPERT
VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 22.—
Reports from Prince Ruport say that
grading operations in that district have
been checked on account of the low
rate of wages prevailing there. In spite
of the fact that many hundreds are
idle and looking for work the rate of
wages is so low that very few gt them
care to go to work.
