morning session was largely spent in
selecting a Jury and a special venire of

ing of the skids before the vessel
had reached deep water. When the
chocks were knocked away the schoon

and everything looked fine for a suc
cessful launching but on entering the
water the skids broke down and left
Ihe vessel stranded a short distance
from the water's edge — *i
an- now nemg made to pull her out
to deeper water and it is anticipated
that she will soon lie afloat.

A letter from Mrs. W. B. Watts, to
friends in Nome describes a decidedly
thrilling experience falling to the 16t
of her husband in Mexico some time
ago. According to the missive, Watts
who has resided in Mexico for sev
• ral years but returned to the United
States when the situation became a
trifle too risky, decided to Jry it again
following the severe defeat of Villa.
Billy, as he was familiarly known to
old timers in Nome, was connected
aith the Standard Oil and his second
venture into the country was in the
interest of that company. He was
getting along nicely, however, until
Villaistns commenced raiding around
(he section where he was in. He de
cided then that he would go back
home before some dark skinned ami
go’s should pick him for a victim. Bil
ly managed to get passage In a box
tar with a number of other Americans
and was Jogging along toward the
I (order very nicely when suddenly
some of the desperado’s attacked the
train and held up the occupants, in
eluding Billy who lost his roll and
about everything else of value on his
person. Luckily he was not Injured
and arrived at HI Paso sound In wind
and limb.
The following interesting items from
the Kobuk section are furnished the
Nugget by Walter Kohen:
Spring sluicing started on the Ko
✓
bulk about June 13 and the operators
nearly all did well an a result of their
winter labors.
Xavier was working on Nos. 5 and
r, Kleary creek, Devine and Burton
were also on No. 5 and George Stanley
was on the Star claim.
Martin Moran worked on No. 15 on
Dahl. Louis Lloyd was also on Dahl.
Louise Lloyd an old timer who has
been in the country since will soon
become a benedict. The bri^te to be
is a Miss llaya, who has made the long
trip from the outside alone to meet
her future spouse.
A, tine new wharf has been built at
Dick Hall's cannery at Kotzebue and
the vessels engaged in the northern
.trade are now able to tie up alongside
of a good dock with about ten feet of
water under their keels instead of ly
ing out in the otttng.
The past winter was particularly
severe with many storms and temper
atures ranging from thirty to sixty
below when'the weather was calm.
Probably the most significant indica
tion of the general severity is that
many of the Kskimo were severely
frozen, an occurrance by no means
common.
It has been learned that Geo. Blaine
who was frozen to death last winter
has relatives in Seattle and a brother
is expected to come in to dispose of
the property left by the deceased.
Blaine owned several boats and some
mining property of value.
Capt, Harry Thelan has run into an
excellent variety of cannel coal in
his mine about thirty five miles above
Kiana. The coal will light easily
from a match and burns brightly.
Thelan has also found good sized
pieces of amber scattered through the
coal. The coal sells at $13 per ton and
enough is handled to produce a good
living for the owner in spite of the
small population.
An old timer of the Nome section,
Tom Keller, arrived in town from
Marshal City, or Fortuna Lodge as the
camp is now known, on the Silver
Wave this morning and reports that
the camp is good in every way and
everyone is doing well. At the same
time he insists that there is nothing
there to justify a stampede. There
are eight claims on Willow creek, the
main producer, and all of them con
tain what may be termed pretty good
|iay. Waskey is working one and two
below discovery, Webster, Hinckley
and Bradley are on the lower half of
discovery, McKenzie, Gay and Mack
occupy the upper end of discovery and
the lower end No. 1 above, McGrath
mu, vuiii|*au.t are wot'Ktng the upper
end of the same claim while two, three,
four, five and six are occupied re
spectively by Smith and Jacero, Chris
ty and Cameron, who are working
three and four, Sweeny and Corkburn
and Alexander Casnek. A man named
I Coogan is working on a small pup that
runs into Willow at No. 5 and is also
in the money though the ground is
not as rich as on the main stream.
Keller states that the best ground he
personally knows of is that of Bradley
and partners, the lower half of dis
covery. Here he panned one cut thor
oughly ttnd estimates the ground at
$4.80 per foot, Ho ulso examined No
I above and places the values at close ,
$4 per foot. On this claim the pay
is close to live feet in depth. The
Waskey ground is also reported to
average about the same. The ground
averages about ton feet in depth and
the average depth of pay is around
live feet. The width of the creek at
the point where operations are going
on is about seveuty feet. The parties
on discovery are obtaining water from
a ditch running to the east fork of
Willow but tin others are all depend
ant on the local water of which there
is not a great deal. They all get along,
however, Smith and Jacero are em
ploying a pump to bring the water
back but the others are sluicing by
the regular methods.
The Camp itself is prosperous and
looks lively, according to Keller. It
a; about six miles to the diggings and
ihout two miles from the town to the
i ivei landing. Keller says the coun
try looks very good for prospecting
. nd mere is a large section of coun
uy that, has not been examined. He
is Prmly convinced that the camp will
be a good producer and also thinks
hat cofttinued development may result
m further discoveries.
Keller spent the past Winter pros
pecting in the Kaiyuh range opposite
Nulato and reports that he found a
little prospect at many points in that
section hut was unable to locate a
pay.streak. lie went to Marshal in
March and has remained there since,
lie says the new camp looks all right
to him in every way and he intends to
return as soon as he has attended to
tlie matters which brought him to
Nome.
