INFORMATION WANTED:—Mi
Paul Clay is requested to comm uni
cate with Carl Heinzen, 305 S. Le
Salic Street, Chicago on a mutually
important matter. Friends not.cine
this advertisement will confer f
fa/or by directing the attention ol
Mr Clay hereto.
Mining is practically at a stand
still thruout the Peninsula, although
in some favored spots there is still
a sufficiency of water.
Cordwood was selling at Dime at
$12.50 per. That’s nothing coal is
selling at $32 per in Nome. And you
can’t chop any at that.
Many natives from Siberia with
curios etc offered for sale are locat

The work on the Mebes and Co mine
on the submarine which was some
what interrupted by the breaking of
a mast when a dead man pulled up on
Sunday last has again been resumed,
everything being rigged up ship, shape
again for hoisting.
Both the Victoria and the Watson
are now at Seattle, according to re
ports.
Yesterday was the last date for candi

their papers for their condidacy.
Smoked salmon, by local experts, is
forming a pleasing addition to the
edible products of our fair city. It
is toothsome enuff too.
The Valdez will probably take out
a large shipment of tin ore to the
Outside if the ore can be hauled to
tide water in time to make a con
signment before the steamer departs.
Thjs will he the first ore shipped this
year of the white metal and will he
the beginning of regular consignments
to the Outside. The ore comes from
the Lost river mine.
The fact than one outfit is drilling
for oil is interesting a good many
others who believe they know some
where on the Peninsula where there
are “seepage indications”. Some of
these have expressed their intention
of doing some exploratory work at
an early date. It would give the che
chacoes the surprise of their life if
in the eleventh hour of Nome's de
pression oil was struck and the camp
started a-booming. Well stranger
things have happened.
The work of getting coal from Una
lakleet to Nome is to he somewhat
hampered it is said by the unwilling
ness of the owners of the mosquito
Meet to take cargoes from that place
of black diamonds. However there
are still hopes that quite a quantity
may be delivered'here. St Michael
is absorbing all the Unalakleet coal
that can be acquired. Apparently
the prolonged trial given at that point
has proved quite satisfactory.
An unusual political peacefulness,
it is noticeable, surrounds the form
er stormy waters of the political
sea. The storm winds have quieted
down, the clouds with silver lining
or otherwise are fading behind the
horizon and the calm is all but omi
nous. There are those who assert
that it is as the calm before the storm
but there were always the pessimists.
An interesting incident brings
back the recollection of a little labor
friction that occurred in Nome some
years ago when the local union of the
International Carpenters and Joiners
had trouble in the erection of the
Goggins new store building. Among
the men who worked there was car
penter Rolling who belonged to the
union, refused to quit work and was
fined.
Now comes the local union of a city
outside sending in the fine which
they collected from Kelling before
he could clear himself for work with
in their jurisdiction. Another mat
ter in this connection is the fact that
information was sought relative to
a charge of scabbing locally against
another man said to be a macchinist
or engineer. The charge was referred
to the Miners Union but was not
found to be correct and clearance was
given. The important moral is: Don’t
be a scab. ,
Many berries are being gathered
and will probably be put up as pre
serves. In June last the Food Admin
istrators in the outside precincts al
lowed housewives to buy sugar in
hundred pound lots provided they
signed a declaration, that the same
was to be used in putting up home
preserves. This was to make the
manufactured product available in
greater quantities for army and navy
supplies. More home made preserves
etc are being put up in America today
than at any other period in its his
tory.

Here’s an item of interest to those
who think Nome is peluk.
On a steamer was shipped out some
ore. The owner had been making
rough wet tests and had been puzzled
by the final reactions which he had
observed. He knew it had a gold con
tent but there was another that seem
ed more important, namely platinum
because his reactions indicated that
•bis metal was present. He asked the
assayers to whom he sent samples
of the ore to wire in actual gold con
tents and if any platinum, later to
write by mail the platinum content
after careful analysis. So sure enough
the other day the gold content of
eighteen dollars odd was sent in and
the words “some platinum” sent a
thrill of satisfaction thru the cau
tious but hopeful prospector. He
now is waiting the mail to learn just
how much. The ore was taken from
a well defined and quite extensive
lead in the Nome section. Names of
the parties and the mines are con
cealed for the present but the accuracy
of this report is vouched for.

The fishing party of Burgh and
Bayne is to be recruited by many
from Nome, quite a sprinkling of the
gentler sex as well as their escorts
being invited to share the rural life
of Pilgrim river. Burgh sent down
a big supply of fish for local friends,
proof positive that “the fishing was
good.’’

Sam Cunningham is -an arrival
from Lost river where he has been
engfiaged in the mining operations in
that section. The mining experts up
at the O’Brien mine are reticent and
as communicative as the proverbial
clam, so little is known of their op
erations of the mine. But active op
erations are being carried on and
quite a crew is at work, with pros
pects of a general continuance. By
the way Sam says there can be no
better illustration of the success of
the eight hour day than these opera
tions. all being satisfied and the work
in hand making more than usual pro
gress.

Some of these days, according to
local master mariners, the boats from
the North bringing some of the men
of the Stefannson expedition will ap
pear in the offing and bring news of
the far north. In fact several Arctic
navigators of experience say that they
should have shown up before this.
The Polar Bear will probably take out
the party.

Ed Young and Bill. Paulson took
an outfit up to the Iron creek district
where they are interested in mining
on Dome creek. A good water supply
even in the driest seasons is assured
them from mountain springs.
Jake Kristan joined the draft in
New York having reported to the
board in that district and is now serv
ing his country. Jake had the inten
tion of joining the navy but appears
to have changed his mind. The Vic
toria had a somewhat rough trip out
side.
