Flyer to Solomon yesterday.
At three thirty this afternoon the
Northwestern reported her position as
being off Cape Mohican, Nunivak isl
a ml.
The Silver Wave arrived off shore
about ten Ibis morning and headed
to lie westward, apparently intend
ing to take to the lee of Sledge isl
and to escape the blow. The Golovin
Hay Lighterage Companj tog Wave
pulled out for Safety.
Owing to a sudden fall of the water
yesterday, the. Flyer was unable to
clear the bar after backing off from
shore and waA® compelled to wait
around until eight last evening before
finally gifting away for Solomon and
other east coast points.
Considerable complaint is heard
concerning the present absence of
lights on the city streets since the
dark nights commenced. During the
recent cloudy weather traveling along
souii of the rear streets has become
something of a dangerous matter ow
ing to the defective sidewalks.
A number of the bondsmen for the
ladiv. of easy virtue who are await
ing a heating before the grand jur\A
appeared In the commissioner’s court
yesterday and were released from
their obligations in the case of several
of the demoiselles who departed to
the outside on the Victoria.
Dave Johnson, the Kottgarok store
keeper, was an arrival yesterday and
reports that everyone is busy in that
section although mining was some
what hampered a while back by short
age of water. Recent rains have, how
ever. fixed things up and work was
going on full blast at the time of
his departure. The two dredges are
reported working away right merrily
with both doing apparently well.
A telegram from Clerk of the Court
Hell, at Juneau, to Judge Adams to
day states that the election petitions

The launch Gwendolyn, in which the
party from Dime creek arrived yes
terday afternoon, was caught in the
furious surf at an early hour this
morning and deposited on the beach
west of tin- Alaska Lighterage Com- |
patty. The vessel, which belongs to |
John Olson, one of the Dime creek j
men, is not damaged to an apprecia- I
hie extent by her experience in the
heavy breakers. At the height of the
gale I Ids morning, y lighter came \
ashore in the rear of Prosser's har- -
ness store. Beyond the two incidents J
mentioned the storm has apparently (
done no damage along the water)
front.
"Spartneus" or the "Revolt of the
Gladiator” in eight parts sit the Deram
tonight. Produced in Rome and Turin,
Italy, with a east of oyer 11,000. Time
of Story about 70 B. C. Played by the
world's greatest stars. More thrilling
ami sensational than “Quo V'ailis."
The story starts with the return of
Grnssus, a Homan general, who brings
as captive, Sparatcus, a prince of
Thrace. On account of wonderful
muscular power, Wpnrtacus is made a
gladiator and defeats all. Later Gras
ses during a feast tries to get Spar
incus lo light his best friend. He re
I fuses it ml causes ti revolt of till the
Gladiators. How they escape to the
mountains pursued by a 1 toman army,
defeat the same and force honorable
terms of peace, makes a thrililng
drama. The price of admission will be
fifty cents. Two shows, 7 and 9:15
sharp. It is the greatest picture ever
shown in Nome so dont' miss it.
Mr. James I’anos, who arrived from
Dune creek yesterday states that the
outlook in that section is good and
considerable work is going on al
though weather conditions are not fa
vorable for extensive mining at pres
ent. Frank McCoy is reported work
ing five or six. men on Sweepstakes
find Geo. Gregory and partners are
also located on the same creek and
i engaged in sluicing. On Dime creek,
Sutton is prospecting on the 1’eaehe
rino claim near the head of the creek
and Billy Hingdahl is prospecting on
a bench off seven. Jim Dougherty
has finished a ditch from the head of
the creek and was about ready to
commence open cut mining at tin'
time I’anos left. Lovell is through
for the summer and has come lo Nome
' lo secure supplies for winter work.
Gwylor and Gloor were still sluicing
on a winter dump on three above and
Madsen brothers and Hanson were
sluicing on No. 2. Wallace Porter was
working on Discovery. Concerning the
reported bench strike, I’anos says that
Lars Gunderson has located three feet
i <>f dirt running from four to five cents
on a second tier bench off one above.
Gunderson has also completed a ditch
and is preparing to sluice. Shortly
before I’anos left Valentine and An
derson, who are located on one of the
benches, reached bedrock in one hole
and found about three feet of dirt that
will average close to six cents to the
pan. As the weather conditions are
far from favorable at present they
have decided to discontinue work un
til winter and are putting in their
time fixing up cabins and otherwise
preparing for active winter operations,
other parties working on the benches
are Peterson brothers and Hedberg
who are f-eported to have found some
pay on a first tier bench off discov
ery and two Hussions who are re
ported to have found some pay on
a first tier bench off discovery.
The latter are said to have lo
cated about two feet of dirt running
around eight cents. Louis Hannock
is prospecting on a first tier bench
off four above. I’anos himself finished
his sluicing operations early. He In
tends to return to the new camp some
time between now and fall. There is
some prospecting going on on the ad
jacent creeks and John Lundbcrg nnd
Gaisler have brought in a drill to do
some prospecting on Salmon river,
some distance Jto the West of the
Koyuk. Bobby Brown hits moved his
saw mill down to the river so that he
can handle logs direct from the water
and expects to be able to turn out
lumber of any size. Panos says the
country looks good in every way .an.I
expresses much faith in the benches.
There are about 100 people in ttte coun
try nnd there is a present prospect
that there will be twice as many there
next winter.

A TALK ABOUT BUTTER AND EGGS
In buying butter and eggs there are just two things which have
weight with the ocnsumer price and quality. Poor butter and eggs
are expensive at any price. For a good article everybody is willing
to pay a fair price. Our qualities are not merely fair, they are ab
solutely the best.
