The Arctic sailed yesterday with
the mail for the ports east of Nome.
The stormy weather greatly inter
fered with fishing locally while it
lasted and now the salmon are peluk.
Although it is now the open season
for game birds, there is no report
showing that shootists have been re
warded with bags of ducks, geese
or curlew.
A seasonal if not a seasonable sign
4s the fact that flocks of geese or
crane have been noted for the past
few days flying southward.
It is understood that a good many
more passengers have sought accom
odations on the last passenger boat
than can be supplied and some trans
portation arrangement will have to be
made whereby the Cordova or other
boat will take out first class or inter
mediate passengers to relieve the de
mand for passage to Seattle. This
report if correct is an indication that
the town will not be quite so populous
next winter as in former closed sea
sons.
At a mass meeting held in Butte
to protest the Mooney persecution,
Mayor Maloney declared that FIckert
of San Francisco "stands convicted
as a premeditated murderer.”
A strike has tied up the mines of
Mullen Idaho and the Governor has
ordered the militia to be in readiness
to be called out.
A Russian who claims to have been
four years in the war was an arrival
on the Belinda. This man says that
he is an American citizen but was
conscripted by the Tzar when he went
over to see his mother in Russia in
June 1914, from Pennsylvania where
he has a wife and four children ac
cording to his statement. He reach
ed East Cape on the Russian steamer
front Vladivostock and sought this
means of returning to America. He
lost or left behind his naturalization
papers when he left for Russia more
than four years ago. He does not
think much of the Bolsheviki, declar
ing that each Bolshevikist imagines
that he is a Tzar. yHis experiences in
endeavoring to gel back to America
are somewhat strenuous, although he
does not explain why he chose this par.
ticular route instead of coming thru
Vladivostock and Japan as an Ameri
can force is in that city to render full
protection to citizens.
Political inactivity is marked in
this section. Even the faction fight
ng that was so much in evidence
earlier in the spring appears to have
vanished. Some there are who de
clare this the calm before the storm.
The Julian dredge has suspended
operations for the season. Frost and
frozen ground was too much for the
machine, and although the dirt ex
ploited was highly remunerative,
rather than mine wastefully and in
effectively Mr Julian decided that it
would be advisable to cease opera
tion. The eight hour day was observ
ed on this machine during the course
of its operation to the satisfaction of
all concerned, and there is at least one
dredgeman who will take with him
the goodwill of the miners when he
leaves this section.

plies for his camp in the Inmachuk

Dan Connolly who with Hedrick
and Liston have excellent pay on
Monument creek was in town yester
day for supplies. They have begun
working on a systematic scale the
pay located and as long as the water
runs will make the dirt fly. Ohrem
and Peterson have obtained a lease
on adjoining ground in the hope of
striking another bonanza in that sec
tion.
Governor Riggs reached St Mich
ael on Wednesday and will arrive on
the Arctic. The governor has been
making a tour of the territory, the

One of the questions miners should
positively ascertain before casting
any ballot for any candidate at the
November election is whether they
are for or against the eight hour law.
Any person who evades or falters on
this issue, goodnight!
Snake river meandering closer to
the sandspit on the Nome side of the
river and in the process of so doing
ground sluicing the bank, is reveal
ing a quantity of old junk that had
been buried in sand since the big
storm of 1913.
The Seattle outfit known as the
Alaska Lighterage and Commercial
Company has a cast iron cinch on the
lighterage and fuel supply for this
camp. How it uses it for the bene
fit of Nome would defy adequate
praise.
NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS
All changes in standing adver
tisements must be handed into this
office the day preceding the issue
for which the change is desired.
Attention to this will save disap
pointment in not securing desired
changes with dispatch.
The Flyer came up yesterday from
Safety. Captain Erickson is no long
er going to take chances in the al
leged conveniences of Snake river
harbor, the construction of which has
been postponed pending the consider
ation of the Alaska Mines plan to
dredge an entrance/ and, more im
portant yet, the joker which confers
a beach mining monopoly on that
concern should it pass for ten years
or so.
Miners who are going to stay in are
gathering drift wood with the hope
of beating the fuel monopoly some
at least. Vain hope when the tentacles
reach out, the miners are dragged in
to the profit absorbing maw.
M. O. Solberg has concluded that
the work of attending to the fur ex
portation and local fisheries will keep
him busier than the work of protect
ing the game. All exports of fur
must make returns thru Mr Solberg
who has been provided with forms
for that purpose.
The Lost River tin mine is making
headway in development work, and
while the professional men engaged in
experting the property are not very
talkative it is known that the property
is showing up better even than had
been anticipated.
The Victoria will have a full passen
ger list when leaving on its next trip
in its first class and intermediate.
There are now loss people in Nome
according to the figures of those leav
ing and arriving than when (he Vic
toria arrived on its first trip. How
ever there are those who hold that
this is not correct.
An arrangement whereby the
freighting and transfer busness of
Charles Ross has been bot by W. J.
Rowe is stated to have been conclud
ed. By this deal Rowe Will acquire
the teams, wagons sleds and general
