s NEWS NOTES
Mr. Keenan of the Bangor dredge
! arrived in town today.
j R. J Renney came up from Solomon
yesterday afternoon.

City last night states that a bouncing,

The work of kllliug oil the roiudeel
nerd quartered on Anvil creek com-!
menced this morning, the deer being
i uriven in to the oid slaughter house I
i on Dry creek. Owing to the animals
oeing in a very wild state it is diffi
cult to segregate individual animals
and the killing is done by shooting
uown the anmals wnile feeding. They \
Jo not seem to have the least fear of
a gunshot and scarcely give a glance j
.n the direction of a report from a
rifle.
Reports from Candle say that the
merchants and business men of that
town are instituting the first steps
of a campaign to secure a portion of
the trade of the new camp on Dime
creek by staking a trial to thf new[
diggings. It Is said that the distance I
is something In the neighborhood of
sixty miles, which would Indicate that
Candle Is the nearest point of supply.!
from ChlniU ta Dime It is something;
like ninety miles and Is an even great- j
er distance to Council.

| Miss Carrie Stipek. the popular
Nome miss who has been In charge of
the Teller school, arrived In the city
today to spend the holidays. Missj
tStlpek was accompanied on her Jour
ney down the coast by Misal Ella |
[ Gehrmann of Teller and both were In
charge of Mr. I.yder who brought the!
young ladies through lr. rapid time.
Miss Stipek declares that the journey I
was a very pleasant experience and the
weather and trails were ideal. Yester-I
day the trio made a distance of fifty-j
five miles in less than ten hours, which \
may be considered as indicating that]
the young ladies are mushers par ex- j
cellence. The present visit Is the
first time that Miss Stlpek's compan- j
ion, Miss Gehrmann has ever been in|
Nome although she has been In Teller:
for many years. The young lady ex
presses herself as detlghted with the
metropolis and Its manifold sights.
Telephone Inquiry of Solomon at 4
this afternoon failed to reveal the
whereabouts of the outside mail re
ported to „',avo left Chlnik Monday.
Mrs. Shaughntssy states that she was
expecting the mall to arrive at any
moment but it had not put in an ap-j
pearance up to the time stated.
Today is the shortest day of the yeai
owing to the sun reaching a lower
elevation above the horizon than at |
any other time of the year. At the
same time the sun seems to stand still
for a period of two or three days, j
\ which has led to the phenomena being
designated by the term, Solstice, which'
accurately describes the occurrence as
; it in eenpral terms, “the sun
' stands." In astronomy, the terms sig
i nines the time when the sun is at its
I greatest distance from the equator.
There are two solstii^s in each year
—the summer and the winter solstice
The former is when the sun seems to
enter the tropic of Cancer, which oc
curs on June 21, the longest day of
the year, and the latter solstice occurs
[ on the present day, December 22, a*
| which time the sun seems to enter
the tropic of Capricorn. This is only
. to be understood of the northern hem
i isphere, however, as in the southern
the sun’s entrance into Capricorn
marks the summer solstice and Intp
Cancer the winter solstice exactly the
opposite condition from that obtaining
in the northern hemisphere.
The sun having attained its lowest
elevation today, will, from now until
the summer solstice occurs, seem to
gradually rise higher and higher in
the heavens with each passing day un
til an elevation of something like fifty
degrees is attained. The sun will then
again sink toward the horizon, in the

ment of the sun Is, however, only a
visual illusion caused by the movement
of the earth above and below the
