j Mr. Chase, the genial proprietor of
j the Dexter roadhouse, arrived in town
| last night with a fine assortment of
! fresh trout and graying from the wa
ters of Nome river which he distri
I lulled among a number of friends.
| Mr. Chase reports that 'the fish are
| very plentiful at present and some of
] the pools are fairly teeming with good
, sized trout and graying.
Deputy Marshal Barney O'lUily re
I turned from Dime creek yesterday
I bringing as prisoner of the federal
: government one Kubukel, better
i known as fireek Johnson, w ho :s
charged with illicit whisky vending
i at St. Michael. The arrested man
will be transferred to St. Michael as
! soon as transportation is available,
to answer to the charge before the
I’nited States commissioner there.
Arrivals from the hills report that
j John Brower, the well known drill
' man, now has his drills in full op
eration on properties of the Alaska
Mines Corporation near the Johnson
ground, close by the third beach line.
Brower is reported drilling an av
erage of three hundred feet of drill
holes a day, a volume of results which
well attests the remarkable efficiency,
of h'is drilling machinery, most of
which has been built in accordance
with his own ideas obtained from bis
long experience in the drilling busi
ness.
Cp to noon today nothing had been
heard of the steamer T-atouche, Nome
and St. Michael bound with freight
and mn'il. The vessel is due to ar
rive at either Nome or St. Michael
by tomorrow. As the J-atouehe is
carrying cargo for the Independent
river line, the lighter shortage at St.
M'ichael will not interfere with the
discharge of freight for Yukon points.

and the Steamer Is expected to arrive
at Nome within a short time after
reaching St. Michael in the event of
arriving at that port first.
Army registrations are going for
ward slowly at present as most of
those eligible for service residing in
or near the city have entered their
names with the city clerk. But four
names were attached to the list dur
ing the twenty-four hours ending at
noon today bringing the total regis
tration up to slxty«six. The follow
ing were those enrolled:

James Swartzelt, the genial pro-,
prietor of Nonies' famous hostelry,, is
thoroughly convinced that forgetful
ness does not. pay, and a retentive
memory is an asset of great value.
The reason for mine hosts cogitations
'in this regard lie in the fact that he
forgot a most important engagement
with Judge Tucker this morning. The
Judge, being one who does not eas
ily forget, remembered the obligation
of Air Swnrtzell and proceeded to fine
the latter ten dollars for failing to
appear at the proper time. Swnrt
zell belongs on the jury panel and
forgot all about it and, being the sec
ond time that he has failed to re«
member his duties as a 3"ror. the
judge decided to tfljc him in order to
relieve his tendency to forgetfulness.
Gust llermanson is one of the
numerous persons who look with ex
treme favor on the herring Industry
as a possible source of opulence and
is making extensivxe preparations to
proceed to Golovin and commence the
work of helping to feed the world
and incidentally place Non?*un the
map as a fishing port, with a future
of bright pronVise. llermanson has
just finished the inst»lultion of a
high power engine In his launch and
will take a largo and well appointed
fishing outfit to the herr!ng grounds at
Golovin. With several outfits in the
fishing field, there is every prospect
that the annual outfit of salt fish will
show an immense increase next fall.
Salt herring from this section is
looked upon with great favor by out
side fish dealers as the fact tnat
local fish bring a much higher price
than is usually demanded for her ling
from other parts, will attest. Those
conversant with the possibilities of
tlie industry confidently predict that
Nome will lie shipping several thou
sand barrels of sale herring annual
ly within the next two or three years.
The suggest'ion that the Nome
Chamber of Commerce should apply
its energies townrd securing mining
and land settlement privileges on the
Siberian coast for the benefit of Am
ericans is an excellent one but ap
pears to be a trifle belated as it is
authoritatively stated that the Cham
ber of Commerce has been making ef
forts in this direction for some fime.
A prominent member of the commer
cial body stated today that the Cham
ber of Commerce has already taken in
hand the question of American miners
being allowed to mine on the Siberian
coast with privileges equal to those
enjoyed by miners on this side of
Bering sea. A communication to this
end has long since been addressed to
Petrograd and should be in the Rus
sian capital by this time. The Seat
lo Chamber of Commerce Is also work
ing on the proposal to have the coun
try opened up to occupation and min
ing by Americans. Interest in the
prospect of a possible opening of the
known rich territory on the Siberian
coast is widespread and there is every
indication that, in the event of the
Russian government granting min
ing and settlement privileges to Am
ericans there will he a vertihie exodus
from Nome to the farther coast.
