NEW NOME PIE IE
BEING WORKED
TRIS WINTER
Nome is just now experiencing n
revival of winter prospecting and
mining, and the activity is unusual.
Arrivals from Dexter Divide report
that much work is proceeding and
that several parties are hoisting pay
from claims around the place where
the strike was made last spring,
i Amongst those in the pay there this
winter are Owen Brown, who made
the rich strike last winter. Others
operating there are Murray and Rose,
the Rowan brothers, Henniner &
Company, Richter and Bolster, Moses
and Warter, Taylor and partners. Dan
Connolly and brothers. Many are
taking out winter dumps, and the
rest are prospecting and trying to
line uty the pay.
The output for the Nome camp this
year was just about three million dol
lars, and the customs office record or
arrivals and departures show that tn»
population this winter is about two
hundred and fifty more than it was
| last year.
Several blizzards and a great snow
| fall have piled high the drifts much
; earlier than in any other winter in
1 the camp's history. About a hundred
i people are at the scene of the Dime
i Creek strike, and others are leaving
I daily for it. It is a fairly good low'
grade placer camp.
| Since the last boat went out it haR
] been found that a dog famine exists
1 there, owing to the purchases made by
the French government for the war.

AFTER WOUNDING BROWN BEAR
GRIZZLY KILLS THE HUNTER.
The body of H. E. Peterson, who
was killed and mangled by a brown
bear near Hope, was taken to Anchor
age.
The dead man was found shortly
after being killed. He evidently shoi
and wounded the bear and ^en fol
lowed it into the brush, where the ani
mal suddenly charged him and tore
him to pieces. The corpse was tn a
badly mangled condition.

' VALDEZ EPISCOPAL RECTOR
HAS GONE TO ANCHORAGE
Rev. E. H. Molony, pastor of trie
Church of the Epiphany during the
| past year, at Valdez, accompanied by
his wife and family, left for Anchor
age. The members of the Episcopal
Church and the citizens or Valdez
generally regret their departure from
Valdez, and will wish them every suc
cess in their new field.
Mr. Molony had but recently re
turned from Anchorage, and while
there had received pressing invita
tions to settle in the new town and
establish a mission. The people of
Anchorage have promised |irn that
they will build a parsonage and en
gage a hall suitable for services for
the winter and that next summer a
substantial church will be erected.
They have already subscribed $1,000
toward the new building, so anxious
are they that the church be estab
lished.
