Sometimes its good and then it gets
better. So it is proving with Andy
Anderson’s dredge on Center creek. It
paid io work the frozen ground which
had to lie thawed at considerable ex
pense before it could be handled. Now
the dredge is working in unfrozen
ground which means more profit.

made on Boob creek, .Mastodon, too,
seems likely to turn out well. Men are
coming there and going all the time,
coming full of hope, or going away

new camps.
The Dream theater will present one
of the finest Pioneer pictures seen for
a long time. It is the story of the
early stampede across the prairies, to
the land of gold. California. Those
were dangerous trip with the country
full of hostile Indians. The buffalo
herds used in this drama belong to
jPnwrvee Oklahoma. Tom -Mix, tho
world’s greatest bronco buster, as the
Pony Express rider, pulls off some
dare-devil stunts. The tight and cap
ture by Indians, is a realistic repro
duction of those Pioneer days, and a
few in Nome perhaps have witnessed
these scenes of “The Days of ’49,”
Mr. J. II. Mertle, of the United States
geological survey, arrived yesterday on
the Victoria, and is stopping at the
Golden Gate. He is one of twelve p ie
ties sent to Alnska this summer on
geological survey work. His purpose
in this district where he will remain
a month is to Investigate the lode de
posits of Seward peninsula. Tho past
two months he has divided between the
Tolovana and Fairbanks camps, tho
former for placer investigation, the
latter examining the quartz.
Mr. F. E, Whitney, postotllee in
spector, reached town yesterday on the
Victoria. During the past summer he
has been visiting most of the postof
ftces of Alaska especially those in
the more remote sections and in visit
ing these he thinks that he went
through quite a bit of virgin wilder
ness. Leaving Skagway be crossed
the divide and came down the Yukon.
He went up the Fortymile river in a
small boat, then down the Yukon to
Russian Mission, thence over the port
age to the Kuskokwim on which he
Journeyed many hundred of miles.
From McGrath he went to Takotna,
then across to the Ophlr country, to
the Tolstoi, and down the Innoko in a
small boat to Holy Cross. He has not
been an out-door man, but he made
I heap trips in n season the worst ever
tnown as regards mosquitos and rain
and doesn't mention the discomfort
unless asked about it. Speaking of his
impressions of Alaska he said "Com
ing up here, you know, you run across
the best people in the world." Mr.
Whitney's duty is to inspect postofhces
and hi- has nothing to do with trans
portation department which has the
direction of our winter mail service.
There is an unusual window display
on Front street, it is a display of vege
tables in Rose's Candy store. There
nestled among confestlonary of all
sorts are turnips, rutabagos, spuds,
rhubarb and carrots. An interesting
fact about the vegetables is that they
were grown 100 miles north of the
Arctic circle. To be more explicit,
they were raised by Mr. Fred Sickler,
at Shungnak, in the Kobuk district.
Mr. Sickler is the government school
teacher there and he sent a crate of
the vegetables down to Mr. Hose by
Oscar Weeka on the last trip of the
Stiver Wave. The Kobuk school teach
er raises more of the above named
vegetables than he can use, and also
other vegetnbls including cabbage. The
natives there have learned under the
teacher's instruction to raise plenty of
garden truck for their own use . At
Dahl creek, three miles away, the
miners raise their own vegetables and
never buy any. One of the rutabagos
in the Rose window display weighs
live pounds. Two spuds tip the scales
at one pound ten ounces. Mr. Hose
has already cooked a mess of the rhu- j
barb and says that it is delicious.

FUNSTON SAYS CHIHUAHUA
ON VERGE OE BIG REVOLT
Pacific News Service.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Sept. 20. -
General Funston has reported to the
war department at Washington that
the entire state of Chihuahua is pre
pared to revolt against the Carranza
de facto government.
Villa's raid on September 16 which
nearly resulted in his capturing the
city of Chlhuhua is responsible for
the changed attitude of the populace
according to Funston.
Funston says that General Trevino
should not have allowed the Villatlstas
to approach so close to the citl. No
precautions had been taken to prevent ;
such a raid.
At the present movement, says
Funston’s report, the railroad from
Chihuhua not being properly garri
soned by Trevino is in the hands of
Villa's men.
The report was sent to Washington
in response to a demand for the facts
which are to be put into the hands of
the American commissioners now in
session with the Mexican commission
at New London. The Mexicans yes
terday demanded the withdrawal of
the American military forces as a pre
requisite to a settlement of the situa
tion.
General Funston’s report and his
own views are opposed to such a with
drawal.
EL t’A.SO, Sept. 20.—Extra editions
of local papers declare that Villa made
a surprise attack on Chihuahua city '
early this morning and captured the
place.
The Carranza forces, commanded by
General Trevino, are reported to have
been taken completely by surprise and
unable to make any defense worthy of
the name.
Mexican officials at Juarez on be
ing asked to make a statement said
that they would neither affirm or deny.
The press is unanimous in believing
the news true and agree that it wiY
mean the downfall of Carranza and
compel armed intervention on the part
of the United States.
