Hydraulic Mining Is
Helped by Inventor
(The Nome Nugget)
Harvey Grant, Nick Nicon and Geo.
Bodis arrived in Nome recently in the
nick of time to enable Mr. Bodis to
catch the steamer Alameda. In an in
terview with Mr. Grant he states that
they had a very successful season on
ground where they have been work
ing on Dick Creek. During the first
three seasons they were inconvenienc
ed in taking care of the tailings. In
order to stack the tailings it required
a large percentage of their water. Last
winter Mr. Grant conceived the idea
that an improvement could be effect
ed by building a machine to take the
tailings away from the flume and he
has succeeded.
It is a most novel invention and one
that is bound to revolutionize placer
mining. The machine is designed on
the principle of a dredge bucket line
and is simple in design being also
very inexpensive. Four cuts averag
ing 50 by 30 feet and nine feet deep
are handled on one drum of distillate,
all the gravel and sand being cleared
away beside keeping the drain entire
ly clear of debris.
Mr.*Grant says there is oceans of
ground that will yield handsome pro
fits if the excessive freight tariffs are
reduced. He said one never thought
j of coal in the Kougarok ancl Candle
j Creek sections but hunted a good wil
low patch for fuel.

I BERLIN LIFE GUARDS MUST
SWIM AS WELL AS POSE
BERLIN, Dec. 31 (JP)—Handsome
bronzed Apollos no longer will be sta
tioned as lifeguards at municipal bath
ing beaches solely for the admiration
of young women. They at least must
be able to swim.
Municipal authorities investigating
the drownings of two boys in one of
the outdoor swimming pools report
that rescue of the lads was hampered
by the fact that many of the lifeguards
could not swim. It is charged that
dry land bathing frequently indulged
in by women with stunning costumes
also has been practiced by guards
whose suits would not stand the im
mersion in water.
HAMLET OF PLYMOUTH ALSO
SPOT CONGENIAL TO OLD AGE
PLYMOUTH, Vi, Dec. 31 (£>)—
This hamlet which is justly proud of
having given a President to the coun
try has another claim to fame.
It probably is one of the most sa
lubrious spots in this section of the
country.
Herb Moore and several old-timers
were discussing with Angus MacAulley
guard at the home of the President’s
father, Colonel John C. Coolidge, the
longevity of the inhabitants of Ply
mouth township.
Some one raised the question of
actual numbers and in little more than
have an hour they had named 38 men
whose ages ranged from eighty to well
over ninety. They declared there
must be at least half a dozen others.
The population of the township is
estimated at 400 and no man is con
sidered old who is not at least 70.
LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER LOST
Advices received at the marshal’s
office at Valdez state that one Magee,
assistant keeper at the St. Elias light
has wandered away from the station
and is believed to be mentally unbal
anced. Deputy Marshal Close of Cor
dova left Thursday to search for the
missing man.

LOVE OF MOLLY TURNED IN
PRINCE OF WALES ABSENCE
LONDON, Dec. 31 (ip)—The Prince
of Wales does not often lose friends,
but as a result of his prolonged ab
sence during his South African and
South American trips a canine friend
has turned from him despite all the
blandishments of His Royal Master.
This is his cream colored cairn ter
rier Molly, a pet of two years, which
the Pfince left with Lady Burton, who
breeds cairn terriers, when he started
his long journey.
Lady Burton made a pet of Molly,
and on the day of the Prince’s return
took the dog to the palace. When the
Prince went to greet Molly she would
not even look at him. For several
days he tried to regain her friendship
but in vain. The dog became quite
unhappy, would not eat, and had to be
returned to Lady Burton’s kennels.
