Mr. E. 1.. Carpenter, the govern
ment engineer engaged in the harbor
survey, took a trip out into the hills
yesterday, visiting the Pioneer and
Wild Goose camps, anil was much in
terested in the minting' development
going on in those sections.
At the Pioneer f.ittle creek work

one of the big lifts cleaned up, with
a resultant yield of something like
forty or fifty thousand in dust and
amalga in.
The schooner Arctic returned from a
triii to Cape Prince of Wales and
other intermediate points, including a
stop at King island for the purpose of
landing Mr. and Mrs. Ides, the gov

large ouanrity of government supplies.
Capt Whitlam reports that a heavy
scell is tunning along the entire coast
and "it weather was cloudy, save for
a few .lours, during the entire trip.

The governinenl engineers have
practically finished the work of sur

A committee of the eitl coun
cil and the board of directors of
the Nome Chamlier of Commerce will
meet Mr. K. U. Carpenter, the govern
ment engineer at the city hall at eight
th,s evening for the purpose of dis
cussing the harboi situation. The com
m.'.fee will also discuss methods of
-operating with the government to
ward securing the much needed im
iyuva merchants report that there is
seven congestion of freight for
practically all coast points, due to the
■ nal llity of the roasting fleet to make
the number of trips really required to
properly supply the outlying points,
one merchant alone has sufficient 01 -
ilers from Dime creek to load the Uam
twice over and there are many orders
waiting transportation to Marshall
City. This condition is due to no other
reason than that the toasting vessels
have fallen nearly two trips behind
their schedule owing to the inability
to load and discharge because of the
absence of harbor facilities. Although
two vessels are running to Kotzebue
sound ports it is also said that
freight demands fur that section can
hardly be supplied for the same rea
son. In addition to the accumulated
freight there are also a number uf
passengers waiting for transportation
to various places.

cess, “The Morals of Marcus," by Wil

tributes to a production unique ill its
pretentious value as a screen offering.
"The Moral of Marcus" as a photo

the white people wtio are interested in
ttie work of the Bureau of Education
in its relation to the Eskimos or north

It is the unofficial publication of the

NAVY DEPARTMENT CALLS
FOR WARSHIP BIOS
International New* Service.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—The navy
department has issued a call for bids
for the construction of what may eas
ily he considered a very respectable
battle fleet by itself.
The proposals embrace the ivmaind
er of the construction program con
templated under the naval bill recent
ly passed and embrace a total of fifty
eight vessels, including battleships,
battle cruisers, destroyers and sub-1
marines. The battleship will consist
of four of the superdreadnought type
mounted with guns of the largest class,
ouch to cost in ttie vicinity of eighteen
millions when fully equipped.
Four scout cruisers are also con
templated, which will probably cost
almost as much as the larger battle
ships.
The remainder of the construction
program calls for a total of twenty
torpedo boat destroyers and thirty
submarine vessels of the largest type
suitable for naval uses.
Calling cards printed at Nugget offlee
