The question just now looming large
In the public mind is whether or not

port trade.
C. J. Peterson lias received a com

obtaining ore are good and the prices
are right, and requests data concerning
antimony ores and property for sale.

(’apt. Tom Ross reports that a goon
sited lead has opened in the Ice abou,
six miles up the coast today. The
crack Is said to extend from the edge
of the ice floe to the beach. This in

clear In that direction. Should the Ice
move away to the westward It Is prob
able that the mile or so of shore Ice In
.ront of Nome will follow suit within a
short time.

| miners at present and quite a number
! of parties are preparing to set off to
' the hills as soon as the snow has clear
ed away from the creeks and hillsides.

creeks north of Nome will be given a
fine combing during the coming summer
aq extensive ns was received during the
early days when the search for gold was !
.n full swing. Parties who are posted
on the subject state that there Is a
known scheelite belt crossing the coun

The steamer Victoria reported her po- j
sltion at S p. m. last night as being three
hundred miles east of Scotch Cap. the 1
promitory located Just within the en- .
' trance to Unimak pass. Judging by this j
the steamer should reach the pass some
time this afternoon or evening. As the [
Victoria makes the distance from the
pass to Nome In about forty eight hours
the vessel should arrive in the roadstead
Sunday- evening unless delayed by ad
verse ice conditions.
The Umatilla reported at 9:30 as being
thirty-one miles north of Cape Mahi
can, the western extremity of Nunlvak
island. This would place the vessel
about two hundred miles south of Nome
at tlmt time. At the time of the report
there was very little ice in sight. Tin
steamer should urrive here about live ot
six it. ni. unless lee conditions interfere.
At ton this morning the Senator was
about one hundred miles south of Nttnl
ivnk island.
Reports from the Umatilla at noon
stated that the vessel had encountered
the first heavy ice at that time.
In the opinion of Carl J Lomen and
others, the Raymond Robbins mentioned
la the press dispatches ns having been
appointed temporary chairman of the
progressive convention is the same Ray
mond Robbins, who was in Nome during
the rush days of 1900 and 1901. A Ray
mond Robbins, who was even then noted
as a speaker of singulur eloquence, was
pastor of the Congregational church in
tills city in 1900 and Is said to have
been u man of remarkable personality.
After leaving Nome Robbins entered the
lecture ft,eld and Is said to have at
tained considerable prominence. His
sister, Miss Elizabeth Robbins is a noted
writer and lias published several books
which have attained wide popularity.
Among them are the well known works:
"Come and Find Me” and “My Little
Sister."
The Million Dollar Mystery continues
a popular attraction at the Dream thea
ter. The program tonight offers a thril
ling and spectacular piece of realism, in
troducing ivfr. Irving Cummings, a fa
mous star, as the "Secret Agent From
Russia.” This is his first and. only ap
pearance throughout the entire serial.
The additional installments are "Track
ed by tile Secret Service" and "The
Borrowed Hydroplane." In the latter
picture the resourceful and intrepid
James Cruze proves his ability, not only
as an actor and an ardent lover, but
also as a fearless and daring aviator.
A banner show.
Tile Nome Chamber of Commerce met
at the Pioneer hall last evening and
among other tr»nesactlons raised the
entrance fee from IJ.50 to $5. It was
also decided to exact quarterly dues of
?1 from the members for current ex
1 lenses. The ruling relative to dues is
,o become effective after July 1. A new
publicity committee consisting of J. Me
Dougail, chairman. Dr. Heimlich, Thos.
Me'Iann, C. D. Jones and F. C. Dean
,vi s i ppolnted. The chamber discussed
the coal question at some length and
the secretary was instructed to commun
icate with the master of the schooner
Hnr* n relative to securing that vessel
t,i biing in a supply of coal. The Ho
gan MR make one trip to Teller with
dredge machinery during the summer
and It is thought that arrangements can
possibly be made to have the vessel
make it second trip with coal. Discus
sion of the transportation question oc
cupied much of the time of the meet
ing but no decisive action was taken ns
it was decided to leave the question
of obtaining redress entirely In the
hands of the transportation committee.
