Now tliat the permanence ot the
Glenn district is assured, steps
should be taken to insure a good
trail to the new diggings. The old
summer trail via Big Mi nook is a
failure. A trail could be construct
ed along the ridge beginning at the
i
head of Rampart creek. This is
perfectly feasible; a number of men
have followed this ridge the past
summer and all pronounce it the
** .. I
best and quickest route to the new j
district. Such a trail could be con-1
slructed at a trifling cost, taking
into consideration the benifit to the i
,
business of the town, that w ill couie !
from the new discovery.

The members of the bar, and the 1
•' y j
citizens of Nome have forwarded j
*
a petition to the president, asking
that Judge Noyes be removed, and
that his successor be appointed at
once. The situation at Nome isaj
grave one, and gun plays are of
daily occurrence, due to contradic
tory orders issued by Noyes before
his departure.
Agent Baker has written to Daw
sou, according to the News, that
should the new strike prove exten
sive, the new town will be at the
. mouth of Baker creek. Baker has
another guess coming.
A race is on between Judge Noy
es and ex-Mar.shal Vawter to see
}
which can reach the presidential
; ear the first.
Numerous large companies arc
daily leaving Nome and abandon
ing their claims, which they pio
nounee worthless.

Winter mail items.
Mail will be carried to Nome
1
I over the katmai trail this winter.
I _
I Three round trips have been con
tracted for.
The present mail contract will
\
expire with this winter. We trust
that it will not be renewed. The
country has outgrown its’ absurd
clause * first-class letter mail only. ’ ’
Circle and Eagle will receive
second-class mail the coming win
ter via Valdes. The contract let j
' -» |
is for this winter only. The lower j
river it seems must not look for any
i
improved mail facilities this year. |
