ports that mining activities arc gener

dredging.The two Casadepaga dredges
have closed down and also the Oro
and Warm creek dredges but the oth
ers were still running at the time of
his departure and doing well. The
Solomon dredges were also working in

for this time of the year. Mr. Ma

on the divide but the' low lands are
still free of their winter overcoat. The

cuss .»!• at the regular weekly melt
ing of the Nome Common Council at

yond the average length of counctl
ninnic. meetings as a result.
All of the city dads were on hand

tion developed, the business of the
meeting was carried forward with the
celerity born of long familiarity.
Following the reading and approval
of the minutes, a communication was !
read from the residents of the north ,
end of B street requesting the In
stallation of electric lights but the
same was refused owing to the >
capacity of the power plant being al- j
ready strained. The city attorney!
reported that, In as much as no deed
nad been received for the McLean lot,
payment for removal of the building
had best be held up. He also Intimat
ed that, as the dog ordinance appear
ed to be ineffective, the city should
round up some of the loose animals
h” • shoot a few and the owners would
probably comply with tho regulations.
Councilman Bose suggested that tho
ctreet foreman be instructed to place
the pnund in shape to keep stray an
imals. It was so ordered.
Councilman Wesley presented a .
schedule of prices for steam heating i
the city clerks office and the upper j
floor of the city hall and also the fire
department. The price stated was
$94 per month. A communication
from Jack Douglas offered to supply
radiators, material, etc., and install
the same for $450. I.ater on a com
munication was read from Grant
Lablain offering to perform the same
service for $448.
Councilman McAllister announced
that progress is being made on the
pumping plant and would be com
pleted in about a week, except for
I he installation of the pump, which
lias not arrived. Councilman Boss
stated that he had wired to find out
about the pump and expected an an
swer today.
After some discussion, the Orland
bill for the burial of Matt Jacobson
was ordered paid. Claims and ac
counts against the city amounting to
$56 were read and passed on to the
finance committee.
Councilman Burgh introduced an
ordinance amending Ordinance 231,
otherwise known as the Tax Ordin
ance, and making sundry and divers
changes in tho methods of tax col
lection. Bills amounting to $29 pass
ed second reading and were ordered
paid. Mayor Blake then announced
the appointment of the following as
chairman and inspectors on the elec
tion board. First precinct, E. E.
Adams; second, Dr. Wesley; third
Bobt. James.
Considerable discussion ensued as
to the location of the new city Jail
and after several proposals had been
discussed, one that had been adopted
was rescinded and the whole matter
left in the hands of the finance and
building committee and the city
health officer.
Councilman McAllister reported
that the power company wqs willing
to extend the present pumping con
tract for one month at the present
contract prico and Councilman Burgh
stated that Manager McConnell had
informed him that tho old pumps
could be left in place in the power
plant 'without charge to the city.
After some discussion it was decided
to accept the company offers. It was
ordered that tho painting and paper

the hands of the finance and building
committee. City Clerk Grimm stated
that it was almost impossible to lo
cate the boundaries of the city and
in his capacity of ex-officio assessor
he was unable to tell what property
on the north side of the town is tax
able and what Is not. He therefore,
suggested a survey to determine the
corporate limits as defined in the
Noyes decree, which differs consider*
ably from the townslte patent with
respect to the city limits.
The meeting then adjourned after
n.lengthy discussion ns to the amount
of heat required for the now pumping
plant.
