Debonair .Louis Levy, the old time

I
the usual purchasing trip down the
Yukon. Mr. Levy will remain ns usual
for the greater portion of the summer.
After much delay due to unexpect
e ditllcuties in discharging cargo, the
Admiral liner Umatilla finally got
away for Seattle at 10:15 p. m. Sat
urday.
The Admiral line freighter Wain
wright left Solomon this morning and
i is expected at Golovin about three this
j afternoon The vessel has considera
ble cargo to discharge at the latter
point before proceeding to St. Michael.
Although nothing definite has been
decided upon, It Is probable that the
freighter LnTouche will carry the next
outgoing mail to the states. The
steamer is now at St. Michael dis
charging cargo for Yukon joints.
The Stiver Wave which was ex- ]
pected to return from the first trip of
the season to the York and Teller sec
tions last night, failed to put in an
appearance up to noon today. A con
siderable number of people are report
ed awaiting the return of the vessel
to take passage to the westward.
Arrivals from Marshall state that
Frank Waskey has established a trad
ing station near Nelson Island, be
tween St. Michael and the Kuskokwlm
river, and is doing a thriving business
with the natives of that section. Arth
ur Maus, formesly of Nome Is reported
not greatly impressed with the Mar
shall section and w*ill probably move
his outfit to Dime creek during the
summer.
The Sea Dion left for Dime creek
yesterday morning with a full cargo
of freight for the interior cainp. No
! passengers were carried. The demand
! for cargo space to Dime creek far
! exceeds the carrying capacity of all
the mosquito fleet combined. In ad
dition to the Sea Dion, the Noatatc and
Belinda carried capacity cargoes and
there is still a mountainous supply of
merchnnd'ise awaiting transportation.
The Admiral liner Senator returned
to port from St. Michael yesterday
after discharging a large quantity of
freight for Yukon points. Right pas
sengers were landed here in addition
to a quantity of freight before the
! steamer departed for the outside. The
, following are the new arrivals:
j H. I,. Ingraham, Douis Devy, Pete
Miller, Chas. Wood, A. Rvanson, Oren
j alesso, J, M. Bride and C. Iverson
The Nugget is in receipt of a copy
of the Klondike Clan, a vivid and In
tensely Interesting story of the Klon
dike stampede and the stirring events
which marked that famous rush to
the gold fields of the far north. The
hook is from the pen of that interest
ing figure of the north, Dr. S. Hall
I Young, and represents the best that
the doctor has yet done In the literary
line. As In the case of his earlier
works, Dr. Young has included some
wonderfully vivid descriptions of the
country and of the types of men who
compose the vanguard in the great
.stampede (which ihas resulted In a
n«jw world being opened to the ad
vances of civilization and progress.
And the whole is Interwoven with a
story that appeals both to the svm
fccjiy and the imagination of the
reader. The book is handsomely
bound and profusely Illustrated with
halt tones. The Morning ft. Rerell
Company of New York, is the publish"
er.
Reports from various parts of the
district indicate that raining is in full
swing over a large part of the area
adjacent to Nome. The dredges are n
trifle late this year but the majority
are expected to resume their labors
within the coming fortnight.
After some delay, the schooner Noa
tak got away for Dime creek today
with a full cargo of freight and a
number of passengers. The passenger
list was as follows: Hans Hanson.
Mrs. Hanson, Chas. Peterson, A1 Wil

ness in this city. The demise oc
curred in April at San Francisco. The
deceased left a widow and one child.
The death of Charles Mitchell, an
old time mining operator of this sec
tion, also occurred in California about
six weeks ago. From 'information sub
mitted by new arrivals It is learned
that Mr. Mitchell died as a result of
an operation for appendicitis.
The legal mating of a young and
handsome couple lightened the judi
cial labors of United States Commis
sioner James Frnwley shortly after
noon today nnd caused the sedate
countenance of the magistrate to re
lax Into a beatific smile which en
dured throughout the afternoon. The
contracting parties wore Miss Caroline
Lois Peterson, a dainty young lady
from Seattle, nnd Mr. Louis A.
Swing, a young man who arrived in
the country last summer. The bride
is n sister of Louis Peterson who has
engaged In mining in this district
for several years. The young couple
announced to Judge Frnwley that it
was their inlt'ntion to make their
home here and become real Alaskans.
They will reside for the present in
the Fromm residence on D street.
The dry spell of the Inst few days
has enabled freighters to resume
hauling on a more extensive scale and
large quantities of supplies have been
forwarded to the creeks during the past
day or two Owing to the long period
of bad weather several camps were a
trifle short of supplies and quite a
number were delayed in beginning
operations owing to the difficulty In
getting supplies and material.
Coastwise traffic between York nnd
St. Michael is now in full swing and
the recent arrivals on the big passen
ger liners are fast leaving the city
for the scene of their summer endeav
ors. With one or two exceptions all
coasting vessels leaving Within the
past few days have carried full pas*
senger lists and capacity freight
cargoes. The Flyer, especially has been
doing a rushing business and again
departed for Solomon section yester
day with a large crowd and all the

fellows:
I have your telegram of April 2*. I
am much obliged to the Chamber of
Commerce of Nome for their kind
congratulations upon my appointment
as chairman of the commlss'ion to
Russia. I will confer with the sccre
ary of state and Mr. Francis, the reg
ular American ambassador to Russia
upon the subjects you mention, and
anything that I can properly do to
promote the interests of Nome I shall
be glad to do. I took great Interest
in the original organization of youi
Chamber of Commerce during the rush
which followed the discovery of gold.
It seemed to me a fine 'illustration of
American capacity for self-govern
ment, for the flrBt thing It did was to
take charge of the whole mining region,
• d to call upon me as secretary of
•'nr for some troops to help It main
tain law and order. I was very glad
o send them, and It Is very pleasant
now to receive a communication from
the chamber of a tenor which Indi
cates growth and prosperity.
Very Sincerely yours,

MARSHALL WILL'**1
Hi ifUy ;
i ■ «•»' * *«-*■ ^ ».**r
Parties arriving from Marshall on
the Sea Lion Friday report that there
was little mining work under way at
the time the vessel left although con
siderable preparatory work was in
progress on Willow creek, the princi
pal producing stream. Practically all
the operators along this stream were
busy at dead work of various kinds
and there will probably be a consid
erable increase In mining aa the op
erators will be fur better equipped than
was the case last year. Considerable
prospecting was done during the win
ter and much attention was paid to
; .Marshall creek, situated about eigh
teen miles from Willow, on which
likely prospects were found.
A number of other creeks In the
vicinity were partlaly prospected but
little pay dirt was located. It is stated,
however, that prospecting is exceed
ingly difficult as most of the ground
is permeated with water and bedrock
was reached only in a few cases. One
claim showing pay was found on Dis
appointment creek, a stream running
in the opposite direction from Willow
and located. on the, opposite side of
the divide from that stream. Prospect- j
ing on Elephant creek also developed;
a few claims which are said to show
up good. It is said that man named
Pelcher is installing a irrge hydraulic
plant on this creek and will mine
extensively.
Willow creek ,n strj'in nine miles in
length, on whlc£ the first dscovery of
the distrtet was made, will also receive
considerable attention during the sum
mer, prospects having been located in
several places during the winter.
Owing to the great difficulties en
countered in prospecting, many miners
are reported quite willing to give a
half Interest in their claims to parties
possessing drilling equipment in order
to get the ground prospected. The
! demand for drilling is said to be such
that the Ouggenhelm representatives
in Idtturod, who visited Marshall dur
ing the winter, were contemplating
bringing a drill from the ldltarod
section. Provisions were plentiful at
prices considered moderate, during
lie winter. Potatoes sold for $8 and
$9 per hundred, flour $7 to $8 and
bacon and ham was quoted at fa
cents per pound, llelndeer meat was
plentiful all winter at 25 cents per
pound. Jack Sherwood, well known
in this section, wan the principal pur
veyor 'of reindeer meat and is reported
to have made a nlco little stake by
bringing deer from the upper Yukon
and Kuskokwlm. There was practical
ly no game In the district, even the
armlgan falling to appear, bo reftn- -
deer formed jho only source of fresh
moat supply.
Wood was plentiful at $12 per cord
.1 ihc principal portion of the win
ter payroll was derived from wood
iittlng. About two hundred and
ttft.v wintered In the district and the
population was considerably increased
during the early spring by arrivals
from the Yukon and Iditaord.
The mining outlook at the fime the
Sea Lion left, June 2, was good. About
ten outfits were preparing to work
on Willow creek, one on Disappoint
ment and one on Elephant while much
development work was contemplated.
On the trip to Nome the Sea Lion
stopped at Dime, landing eight men
at that pofcnt.
No new developments are reported
in that section. Preparations for the
spring clean up were under Way hut
little mining was in progress owing to
the inability to get wood combined
with a shortage of food. The arrivals
state that Rube creek ,a tributary
of Peace river, was attracting much
attention from the nrtners owing to
the finding of prospects during the
winter at several points on the stream.
The new creek Is located about eigh
teen or twenty miles from Dime.
