The refrigerator steamer Elihti

The breakdown in the land tele
graph line continues to cause great
delay in telegraphic corr\piunlcatton.
Messages are coming through but
only in small quantity and usually
very much delayed owing to the ne
cessity for much wireless relaying
between OSIbbon and Fairbanks, be
tween which points the break ae
curred. The cause of the rupture in
the line has not been ascertained up
to the present although the break or
ettrred three days ago.
The steamer Cordova carried
twenty two tons of Alaska tin from
the York region when she departed
for the outside a few days ago. The
Valdez, which sailed some time hack
also carried a total or sixty tons of
tin concentrates. To date n total of
one hundred and ten tons of the crude
ore has been- forwarded to the out
side markets. Most of the product
was mined last year but could not
lie forwarded on account of the
stormy weather during the late fall.
The consignments represent a con
siderable value as tin Is quoted at
seventy cents a pound in the out
side markets with excellent prospects
for further advances owing to the
great war time demand.
W. H. Murphy, who will he re
membered by Nomeites as the chief
engineer of the Borden-Lane schoon
er Great Bear, which was wrecked
on Binnacle Bock, St . Mathew isl
and while en route to Nome last
year, recently gained considerable
fame through saving the fives of the
I crew of the pilot schooner Gracie S.
in San Francisco bay. A detailed
account of the Incident published in
the coast papers says that Murphy’s
cool (headed heroHsm prevented the
schooner being destroyed by a fire
which broke out on the pilot vessel
as a result of a leaking carburator
The escaping gasoline took fire In
some manner and caused an explo
sion which filled the engine room,
with shooting flames and seriously
burned.the Chinese cook. With great
heroism Murphy dived through the
flaming engine room and opened tlio
st» cocks, permitting the water to
rtfh through the engine room and
quench the flames. When th'> fire
was out. Murphy calmly reacted un
der the water and closed the (sea
cocks again. When assisance arrived
the Oracle 8. was afloat, safe, and
Murphy was a hero.
The local discussion of the high
cost of potatoes and other food com
modities is threatening to abscure
even the all absorbing question of
when the weather is going to change
to something more mild and uniform,
or the equally important matter of
when the next mail will arrive. The
principal feature of the H. C. L.
discussion appears to be directed
largely toward the present high cost
of spuds, which, householders aver,
are so far above what Uiey ought to
be that only the bloated plutocrat
can indulge his appetite for the sue-,
culent tubers, without creating a
fearful vacuum In his pocket book.
It is charged by many that the local
vendors of spuds are guilty of charg
ing a price which is far from being
justified. As to the truth of thts
allegation, we frankly admit that we
have no idea whether it is right or
wrong, but a glance over the outside
market reports throws some light on
the question which may he interest
ing. On June 1, potatoes were quot
ed in the Seattle markets at 5 l-f
cents for old nnd 61-2 for new. In
lhe July market new potatoes were
quoted at 6 1-2 cents with no old
potatoes in sight. The latest quota
tions reaching here disclose that po
tatoes are worth from 3 1-3 to 1
cents In the Seattle market and from
1 3-4 to 2 1-2 cents In San Fran
cisco. The considerable difference
between the quotations of Frisco and
Seattle is naturally due to the earlier
development of the crop in California.
As the quotations show a declining
tendency which will doubtless he fur
ther intensified when the crops of the
northwest nre fully developed, there
appears no particular reason . for
Nomeites to fear that they will he
compelled to pay the present high
price for more than a short period.
Every Indication points to a speedy
and very decided drop in the outside
potato markets which wMI not he
without effect on the local price. A
decline of from 2 1-2 to 3 1-4 cents
in the short period from June 1 July
12. the date of the loweRt of the above
quotations, indicates clearly that still
larger declines may be expected hy
the end of August and possibly be
fore. -When one remembers that po
tatoes wore selling for as high ns
fi 1-4 cents in the Seattle market when
the first local shipments were pur
chased, a short time prior to the
sa'iiing of the first boats it does not
.appear that the present quotations
are unduly excessive, while the rapid
decline in the •outside markets is un
deniable assurance that the local price
will undergo a very derided chaneg ns
fall approaches.
The Silver Wave departed from St.
Michael on the return Journey to
Nome at nine o’clock last evening,
■ ■ 1 ——«■
according to advices received by
I’ostmnstcr Walsh today. As the re
turn trip must tie made In Die face
of a strong head wind It is probable
that the schooner will not arrive here
before tomorrow morning. As soon
as possible hereafter the vessel will
sail for Kotzebue and way ports with
mall and passengers.
The postofllce announces that the
mall for Taylor creek and way points
will leave at 9 a. in. tomorrow morn
