The Jewel CiU-.ra was the first of the
I mosquito fleet to ride on the bound
ing billow this spring. She was
! launched on Saturday under charter of
John Felkle and left for St. Lawrence
. island. The trim little craft cut quite
' a figure as she glided through the
field-ice Westward bound. She is on
her wav to St. Lawrence Island and
may go to Siberia if prospects look
good. Felkle being the first fur-buyer
on the Job this spring stands a good
show of making a nice clean-up In
I that line,

Mining Co. started in this morning to
open up a new pit on the Portland

i by the Pioneer Mining co. Others
will he called later. There is yet much
i snow in the ditches but (he water is
i cutting it out rapidly.

Billy ltowe's office is still in the
j possession of carpenters, painters,,
' decorators and cabinet-makers. Pan
elling of Austrian hardwood lines the
' office throughout. Its markings are
the prettiest ever seen for interior
decorations, and well worth looking at.
The office is now steel lined and ab
. solutely fireproof. The fixtures and
j office fltlngs with new coals of varnish
j make a suitable off-setting and the
i headquarters is now the swellest look
| ing office in the city.

The Alaska Lighterage Co are al
most in readiness for the first boats.
The derrick for unloading the fighters
has been placed thirty feet further out
on the wharf this year. A larger and
stronger derrick and bo'om is now in
position and will be hooked up to the
hoist in a short while.
Solomon reports open water and
everywhere clear for boats coming to ,
that point. The launch Pefiance was j
launched this afternoon and will make,
the trip to that section tomorrow tin- !
der command of Captain Neilson. The |
good ship Silver Wave will take the

In the local land office today Harry
Pidgeon filed an adverse protest
against the application of the Alaska
Predging Co for patent to No 1 Flat
creek. Pidgeon in his protest states
that the ground claimed by dredging
eo conflicts with his claim—the Lester
Bench— to the extent of two and a
half acres.
Doc. Kemp opened his dissolution
sale this morning by firing a salute of
a hundred hairpins and hoisting a doz
en flags which declares the uncon
ditional surrender of twenty thousand
dollars worth of stock at any old price
you like. Old Man Kemp is now out
for the money and is going to get it!
His prices are far below what you can
purchase the same goods for on the
outside.

The street department of the city
are busy re-placing timbers on Front
street and are getting this main i
thoroughfare in good shape. The side- !
walk in the back streets should be j
looked after. Lots of loose boards fly j
up constantly and inflict many cuts I
and bruises on unsuspectnig pedes- j
trains. A stitch in time—at least, a
nail in time—would go a long way to- j
wards remedying this.
The Seward Mining and Dredging
company under the reorganization is
now called the Eskimo Mining and
Dredging Co of whUh It. S. Oglesby
is still manager. He will arrive in
Nome on the first boats. The com
pany have twelve men at work and
are all in readiness to tufn the big
boat over. Sufficient ground has been
thawed ahead and the dredge is to
start up tomorrow. Nearly all the ice
is out of the Solomon river which is
exceptionally low for this time of year.
Eric Johnson is going in the auto
mobile business for the summer and is
now getting wised up to the mechan
ism of the Jeffrey Quad owned by Will
Stelgelmeyer. The big truck is having
a thorough overhauling and will go
for a trial spin tomorrow. Minor Mc
Lean will be in charge of the truck
which will be on the Nome-Solomon
run this summer. Minor has been
back at the Jeflrey factory at Kenosha,
Wisconsin taking a course in truck
construction and is due to arrive here
on one of the first boats.
Officered and manned by A. D. Po
teet and Billy Rowe the big grader
wns at work on First and Second
streets yesterday and did mighty good
work. The big machine tore off the
high-spots, filled in the low spots and
made a big difference in the appear
ence of these streets. Wo are getting
to have a great number of automo
biles in Nome. The owners of these
will naturally help out in the matter
of making good roads in our city.
Were the scraper to go over the streets
of the city every two weeks it would
make our streets so much better.

S. S. UMATILLA IS
THE FIRST BOAT TO
LEAVE SEATTLE
Pacific News Service.
SKATTU5, May 28.—The Umatilla
will lie the first boat to leave for Nome '
and will sail at nine o’clock on Friday
night next for the northlaml. At ten
o’clock the next looming the Victoria ;
will pull out.
Both of these boats have a full pass
enger list and the Umatilla in com
mand of Captain Gupfill has on board
machinery for two dredges for the
Alaska Mines Corporation.
The Seattle dispatch states that the
value of the shipment to the AJaska
mines corporation is one million dol
lars and it further states that this
corporation will—later in the season—
ship to Nome the largest dredger ever
designed for Alaska, it states that
the cost of this big boat w*ill be one
and a half million dollars.
(Our corespondent—in this matter—
is away off and must have received
his information from some unreliable
source. Tiie Alaska Minos Corpora
tion are shipping in machinery for the
Flat creek hull as well as other ma
chinery which they wMl make use of if
necessary. There has been consider
able talk about installing a gigantic
stool-hulled boat in Nome. As yet
that is away in the offing.)
