' aolng sleds for Christmas gifts for
some of the Nome kiddles and some
f the examples of his skill are a de
light to see. The sleds are modeled

ployed by pie majority of the owners
of racing teams and are fully equipped
with all of the various flxln’s that go
with the sure enough racing sled. In
every respect they are an axact fac

Dan P. McDonald, the well known
Bluff storekeepers, arrived in the city
last evening on a business trip which
will extend for a day or two. Mc
Donald made the trip with Percy
Blatchford who came straight through
the entire fifty miles with only a brief
stop at Solomon and Safety. Things
are reported quiet at Bluff although
there is a little mining going on. Two
outfits are taking out dumps on the
Oscar Ashby properties, Chad Meghan
and partners and Banks and partners
and Paddy McGrath is taking out a
dump on Eldorado creek. One or two
others are also mining in a small way
In the district.
The Golden Gate ice skating rink
will open tonight. Proprietor Swartzell
asserts that the ice la now in fine con
dition and the public are assured every
opportunity to thoroughly enjoy them
>lves in this healthy sport. Contrary
to the usual custom the Ice is laid this
year over a bed of well packed snow
which is said to give it a spring and
elasticity of an unusual order and
greatly adds to the enjoyment of glid
ing over the smooth surface—and also
It may be added, probably helps to
soften the occassional hard bumps of
the tyro.
The way in which things sometimes
get mixed up is aptly illustrated by a
news article published in the Chltlna
Deader of October 26 in which is con
tained an article detailing with great
ircumstances the death by freezing
of the late Jose ph D. .Jourden during
"a storm whlcb suddenly blew in from
lie north.'' The article relates how
.lourdcn hr.d been on the creeks look
ng after some mining property in
which he whs interested and was
caught in tile storm while returning to
town." The public is also assured that
the deceased had fallen into "the river
as his clothing was frozen when the
body was found." Things like this
must happen occasionally, but It la
passing strange what added touches
distance sometimes gives.
The mail for the outside will close
it five tills evening and leave In the
morning.
It Is announced that 'Milo's cafe will
discontinue business tonight owing to
the owner having purchased an Interest
in the Boaid of Trade Restaurant and
that popular house will In the future

ment of Messrs. Modlnl and Milo. • •
Marshal Jordan and Deputy Curley
Dovell arrived from Dime creek this
morning bringing two prisoners from
.lie new camp on the Koyuk. Both of
lie prisoners, whose names are given
us Rurgens and Reilly, are charged
with selling liquor without a license.
Tile case of Ross and Brandt vs.
toby Reed was dismissed in the dis-j
•diet court this morning at the request I
of the attorney for the plaintiffs. This
disposes of .the entire matter of parti
tion of the property, for the present at
least.

The general executive committee of
the Aksala carnival met at the resi
dence of Th Lehmann yesterday and
put the finishing touches on many
matters relating to the carnival. The
committee have the affair well ad
vanced and arrangements are going
forward with a swing. The various
sub-committees are all working like

are gradually being worked out. The

posal of the arrangements preliminary
u the opening of the searon’a pennant
hase. The teams will commence ac
.ive practice tonight and will probably
put In at least two night's practice
per week until the first game Is called,
wording to announcements today thi
first game will be played on January
S as It Is thought that all of the teams
will be in first class shape by that time
and fit to put up tho game of their
ball playing career. Several changes
avo been made in the lineup of the
several teams owing to tho withdrawal
of Burslk and Faxon Lewis, both of
whom find it difficult to spare the time'
As the Northern Light team was shy
a catcher Al. Lomen iias been trans
ferred from the Pirates to tho former
team and Haggerty and Eddie Parker
.have been added to the latter by way
of exchange.
According to the latest dope, the an-'
nouncement from Nulato that the first
outside mall for the winter had passed
there on the 24th of last month must
have been an error of some sort. Clever
flgurers have been working on the
problem and state that the announc
ed time of the dispatch of the first mall
from the coast must have been In error
or else thero has been a most marvel
ous gain in time by the mall contrac
tors for the consignment to have
reached Nulato on the date given. It
is probable that the radio operators
confused the first coast mail with
the mall from the states. This is part
ly confirmed by the fact that tho last
weekly mall contained mall from Skag
way and Juneau and the operators
probably thought that mall from the
states was Included.
