and bread magnate of Nome, has gone
to Anchorage with the intention of go
ing into business in the new railroad
town
Agent Carroll states that the Victoria
• will prooubly get away for St Michael
some time toward evening. Practically
all the freight was unloaded at an early
hour this afternoon. The vessel will
discharge ai St. Michael and return here
in about two or three days and will then
sail for the outside.
The large Packard seven passenger ear
brought in by Roy Wells was considera
bly damaged in transit from the outside
and will have lo have considerable re
pairs before it can be p need in com
mission. The big machine is at the Al
aska Lighterage dock and is the object
of considerable attention as it is by far
the largest car in Nome.
War prices are commencing to hit
Nome. Communications from outsidt
paper dealer received by the Nugg.i state
that all classes of paper have advanced
lifty per cent and practically all print
ing material has gone sky high. In addi
tion it is reported that some classes of
stet k are extremely hard to get and
others are practically out of the market.
Messrs. Harvey Grant and C. It. Peek.
\> lie mumed from the outside on the
l’matilla, expect to leave for the Casn
depagu, within a day or two. Mr. Peck,
who represents the Moody Mining Com
pany. will operate a dredge on Canyon
creek properties owned by his company.
The machine to be employed was former
ly one o the Flotline dredges on Solomon
river but was moved to Canyon creek
during the past winter.
According to all accounts sluicing Is
going merrily on at nearly every point
where winter dumps were taken out
but there is little prospect of summer
■ lining ,or some time as the snows arc
still heavy over the larger portion of the
Nome section and down Solomon wav
A numoer of the winter miners have
finished sluicing up their dumps and
others are well advanced. Dexter Dill
and vicinity is reported the scene of
considerably activity.
Date advices from the outside state
that \V W. Johnson of the Union Con
struction Co, has become Interested
with George Riley, of the Iditarod firm
of Riley and Marston, in the Black crook
country ana will install a dredge in that
section during the coming st ..son. John
son and his partner H. G. Peake are ai
interested jointly with. Riley and Aiken
in a large dredging proposition in Idit
arod and Fairbanks and will probably
Install dredges at both places. The Union
Construction Co. is also reported building
a 3 1-2 loot bucket dredge for Candle
creek, near McGrath, in the Kuskokwirn
Section.
The Mining and Engineering Journal
refers to the recent lowering of values
with respect to those metals wh‘;h have
attained such remarkably high prices
during the war period as follows:
Some oi the m. tals that soared to
phenomenal prices have fallen from their
high estate and are going to fall farther.
That Is a safe prophecy when no speei
tication as to time limit is attached. It
is obviously a matter of time only, for
extarordinary profitable prices are bound
to stimulate production to an extent that
sooner or later will reduce tilings lo a
normal basis. The most spectacular de
cline has been in quicksilvi r Tiiis metal
which ordinarily is worth $4i>;i45 per
llask. rose to about $30o, but is now down
to about $Su in a market that looks none
too good. The advance was Initially well
founded, hut when it had already gone
far. the sellers undertook to boost it
artifically and let their greed run away
with their good sense. The Dupont Pow
der Company represented the situation
to the British government, which releas
ed a sufficient supply to relieve the large
makers of explosives on military con
tracts and the bottom promptly dropped
out of the American market. Antimony
is another drooping war bride. From
the price of 45c per pound it has lately
declined to about 31c. Tungsten ore has
fallen from about $35 per unit to about
$45. In noth cases increasing production
is the explanation.
Work on the schooner Challenge is pro
gressing rapidly and the trim little ves
sel will soon be in shape for her long
voyage to Arctic waters. According to
the plans of the owners, the schooner
will, after outfitting here, proceed to
the far north and will probably go as
far to the east as the Dolphin and Union
straits sections and to Victoria land.

thefts of liquor from the rooms in the
eltyhull where the various kinds of Joy
water seized by the police department
during tile bootlegging raids of tile past
five inontiis Were stored. It is said that
practically all ol the line brands of liquor
have disappeared and It Is further al
leged by the chief that most of it has
been filched almost as soon as brought
lo the city hull store room. The chief
asserts unit the members of the police
department are the only ones who have
had access to the store room and are,
therefore responsible for the disappear
ance of tin- liquor. So far tin results
i f the chiefs Investigations seem lo show
that city- employes have been selling the
liquor and there Is every evidence of a
regularly established traffic in liquor of
which the point of supply was tlie oily
null, ' ll looks as if the city hall had
been maue the headquarters of a gang
