tack on the towns situate on the north-I

of the air tleet was directed against
the towns of Sunderland, Hartlepool,
Middleborough. New Castle and Stock
ton all of which sustained severe dam
age from the bombs dropped from the j
German air craft. The towns suffering
the most extensive damage were New j
Castle and Stockton, oxer half of both
places being laid in ashes from the
fire bombs. Included in the destruc
tion were the great Armstrong gun
works at New Castle and the big
Doormprop works at Stockton both of
which were destroyed. The British ac

below the actual figures It is esti
mate that fully fifty are dead and
wounded us a result of the German

LOCAL NEWS
Mr. T. .1 Nestor, who arrived from
tlie outside by way of the Yukon,
slates that the breakup on tlie upper
Yukon was the earliest on record and
tiie ice wits so rotten on the lakes at
tlie time lie came north in April that
traveling was impossible and lie was
not aide to get through for some time.
Steamboat travel was also difficult ow
itig to the ice being choked up on tin
water channels. Mr Nestor visited
nearly all of the larger towns from
Dawson down and reports that Ruby
looked good and there was every pros
pect of an excellent cleanup. \bout
three hundred men were employed at
Tditarod including the crews of the
Rilev stid Marston and Guggenheim
dredges Marshall City looked rather
slow hut everybody seemed satisfied
and there was a little business going
on. Mr Nestor states that Frank
Waskey. Trager and several others
well known in Nome are heavily In
terested in tin latter camp. Nothing
of consequence was heard of tiie new
strike reported last winter Mr Nes
tor states that lie heard that there was
a strike hut knows nothing of its value
Mr N. Nelson, president of the Am
erican Tin Dredging Company , was an
arrival from St Michael on the Yie
iona this morning. Mr Nelson is en
l-.otte to Buck creek in the T'ort Clar
cnee district and will install a new
tin dredge on Buck creek during tie
coining season. Tlie dredge is tine to
arrive on the steam- r Cordova and will
he installed by the American Dredge
Building and Construction Company.
Mr Graham, who is associated with
the company, will he the manager.
Mr. Nelson expects to leave on the
Silver Wave in the morning and will
place things in readiness ns far as
possible. Mr. Nelson states that this
is his first visit to Alaska and he is
much impressed with the country thus
far. The journey to Nome was made
by way of the Yukon and Mr. Nelson
stales that it afforded him a very pleas
ant experience, especially the trip
through the inside passage. Stops
were made at all principal p-dnts from
Seattle north to Dayvson
The first installment of the Eskimo
Bey-elation was published in tho col
umns of tlie NCOGET June la. The
story is that told by the young Eski
mo girl of Norton bay, following a
trance or dream occurring about tlie
middle of February, of which mention
has been made at intervals in tlie col
umns of the NUGGET. The story is
remarkable largely because of the fact
that the narrator is scarcely more than
ten years of age anil it is therefore
impossible to conceive that it can be
the result of an active imagination. Mr.
Chester of Golovin has Investigated the
attending circumstances anil declares
that he is convinced that the story is
beyond one of such extreme youth, and
in addition is told with a readiness and
detail which makes it utteryl improba
ble that it can be either the result of
an astonishing memory or a vivid im
agination. The tale has been translat
ed from the Eskimo tongue at tlie in
stigation of Mr. Chester who also
vouches for its authenticity Owing to
the extreme length, the storv will run
f..t several Issues.

AUSTRIANS ARE
INVADING RUSSIA
I
U« iMK, June 17 Dispatches from
| the eastern war /.one state that the
I Russian forces operating in Bukowina
j are in rapid retreat before the Aus
trian* and are now engaged in a rear
guard tight on Russian soil near
! Djoraw cast of the Kokowina border.
The reports state that tin* Russian of
fensive along the lower I'ruth has been
completely overthrown.
The Russian forces in upper Galicia
are reported to be holding their own
in the face of a terrific German attack
which is designed to dear the road to
Lemberg The Russians are offering a
stubborn resistance and the result is
exeeedinglv doubtful as the bulk of the
Galician armies are concentrated at
that point. German advices state that
the Germ.iitg are steadilv gaining
ground
Sol-TA dune IT Unconfirmed re
ports state that the Russians have been
driven out of Rnkowina and the Aus
trians are rapidlv pursuing the retreat
ing army on Russian soil. The account
is not credited here owing to the im
probability of the Austrians having
been able to concentrate a sufficient
force at that point to bring about the
stated result Reports received oi
teldav indi ited that the Russians
were holding their own with ease
which alsu tends to make the report
exceedingly doubtful.
