FRONT STREET, KETCHIKAN
NEWS FROM THE
! FAR NORTH
'(From the Nome Nugget of Novem
ber 23rd.)
From present indications the city
council will have to commence the
work of keeping the streets clear of
snow somewhat earlier than in for
mer years. At the present time
.the amount of snow on Front street
s far greater than for many years.
_
The storm reached the proportions
of a hurricane both east and west
Nome and all traffic along the
! east was compelled to take to cov
er. The gale is reported to have
been especially heavy at Solomon
and. resulted in delaying all of the
! musliers en route to Council and
\ Dime creek.
Old King Winter got peevish a
gain this morning and again delug
ed the land with snow for a few
i hours. Seems like the old fellow
is pretty much riled up all the time
this fall and has been giving us
an overdose of his bad temper.
The ice is now apparently firmly
fixed for the winter and no move
ment is perceptible as far out as
the eye can see.
The commencement of the period
of winter mining is at hand and
numerous small outfits are proceed
ing to the creeks every day. The
various transfer men are all busy
and the number of outfits are said
to be far in excess of those going
out last winter at the same time.
The Pioneers will hold their dedi
cation and house warming tonight
and will also initiate about thirty
i five new members.
Arrivals from Dexter creek re
port considerable activity and much
prospecting going on. Several par
lies are also hoisting pay includ
ing Ohrem and Brown who com
menced the work of lifting the pay
gravel a day or two ago.

IDITAROD GOLD
OUTPUT FOR 1915
Says the Pioneer of Nov., 27.:
The output of the Iditarod this
season, while it was expected to be
larger than last season, was a sur
prise even to well-informed mining
I men. Gathered from various sourc
es, the figures are placed at $2,210,
000, and these may be taken as cor
rect.
In regard to the first overland
mdil the Pioneer of the same date
says:
" hile it was hoped that the maf(
contractors would be able to make
the run with the first Seward mail
of the season in twenty days, as
hadbeen intimated they would, still
it was an agreeable surprise when
Teddy Cassidy pulled in last Sat
urday about 1:30 :o’clock with a
limit consignment, which he had
made the trip from Seward in the
fast time of twenty days, consid
ering the time of the year and the
fact that the trails were not yet in
the best condition.
The news that the mail arrived—
the first in six weeks—was joy
fully received, and the postoffice
was non the objective of eager
crow , who could scarcely contain
their impatience while the mail was
being distributed. It was not long
before the first-class matter was
sorted and handed out, and soon
news from the Outside regarding
absent friends was being circulated.

*)DD TRADE DISEASES RESULT
wF CERTAIN OCCUPATIONS
__
There are few if any of the var
ied occupations that, owing to the
’ii3£ssity of continual contact with
substance'.-.. 01 conditions, may be
called healtii/hU. Some are less
conducive in what\_are known as
“trade diseases’’ than'"‘Sobers, How

At least three-fourths of the Vew
employes in brass foundries ate
ague, which is produced by the in"
halation of metallic dust and i ,aP'
ors of zinc and copper. The sy mP'
toms are usually pain in the b ick>
general lassitude, followed bj a
chill, after which the pulse o
leaps to 120; a tormenting co ‘£^1
soreness in the chest and heada ®he.

The use of red phosphorus J1®'

has reduced the evil effects caS8ed

Eczema o fthe

A somewhat similar afliction at
tacks those who are employed in
the manufacture of quinine. The
malady disappears on taking up
another vocation. ,
Jaundice, stiffness of the joints
and aanemia are the usual troubles
of those at work as smelters, being
due to the arsenic fumes inhaled
incidental to the process.
Painters and others who work
with lead get “lead colic”. The in

has greatly reduced the printers
chances of contracting t'his disease.
A twitching and and sometimes
paralysis of the fingers attacks
telegraphers, pianists, engravers,
cigar-makers, seamstresses, steno
graphers and violinists. This is
called fatigue neurosis, and among
authors is known as “writer’s
cramps."
