COUNCIL TO RAISE FUNDS
FOR IMPROVEMENTS
With one exception of Councilman
Charles Thompson, who is far away
in the remote quietness of Council,
the city clads were all in their accus
tomed places when the clerk called
the roll at the regular bi-monthly
meeting last evening. The minutes
were read and approved without com
incut.
A communication from the Loyal
Order of Moose asking the council to
grant a portion of the city cemetery
to the order for burial purposes was
read.
Councilman Rose, reporting for the
police committee, stated that^i’atrol
man Eddy has been on the sick list
and the firemen have been looking af
ter his duties la nding his recovery.
Claims and accounts againt the city
in the sum of $32.47 were read. Coun
cilman llurgh moved that they be paid
if endorsed by the finance committee.
Mayor Blake stated that the motion
hmt Pest lie altered to require imme
illate payment of the labor bills.
Burgh said that owing to the long pe
riod between meetings of the council
such action would force creditors to
wait a long while for their money.
The mayor replied that the council
sometimes had to wait a long time for
its money and requested the withdraw
al of the motion. Burgh then chang
ed the motion and the labor bills
were orderd paid.
Councilman Burgh then presented a
resolution authorizing the mayor to
borrow ten thousand dollars for the
purposes of building the proposed city
pumping plant, and granting him pow
er to give a mortgage on the property
purchased for that purpose and also
on the pumps, pipes and other equip
ment belonging to the city as secur
ity for tin- loan. The resolution re
quired that tin’ principal lie repaid at
lire rate of $.'1,500 per annum with in
trust. Councilman Rose moved that
tlie resolution lie laid on the table,
stating that a committee had been
appointed to look up the matter of
plans and costs and he thought no
borrowing should lie done until that
committee had reported. The mayor
would have none of it, however, and
called for a second to the motion. Ross
answered the bell and the resolution
passed with Rose alone voting no. In
answer to a question of the legality
of such action by Rose, City Attorney
O’Neill stated that the city could bor
row not to exceed the sum of its
annual revenues and the action of
t lie city was in good and regular order.
Councilman Rose then introduced an
ordinance granting to W. A. Oliver
a franchise to establish an electric
lighting and iieating plant in the city
with power to erect poles, lay heating
mains, etc., and also allowing the
grantee the right to dispose of the
same to a corporation. The period of
Hu- franchise was twenty five years.
Councilman McAllister did not ap
prove of giving anyone a franchise
for a lighting station or anything else
in that line for a twenty five year
period and hastened to put in his
objection. The mayor remarked that
the ordinance would be placed on file
and taken up at a later period.
Councilman Rose stated that the
various fraternal orders of the city
have agreed to gravel the roads In
side the cemetery and also to dig
drains anil ditches and he thought
that the city should make some Im
provements in the section of road be
tween the main highway and the
cemetery gates. He mentioned 'the
cost at about sixty dollars and offered
a motion thut the council appropriate
not more than the stated amount for
ihut purpose. Burgh suggested that
the road should not be made too easy
biit the motion passed without dis
sent. *
i; •«.«_ brought up the city printing
contract, stating that the city should
either award the contract or call for
news bids. The mayor objected on
the ground that the bids were much
higher than formerly. The proposals
submitted by the Industrial Worker
and Daily Nugget were read, disclos
ing that the hid of the former was
fifteen cents per line, that of the latter
twenty cents. Home rag chewing fol
lowed but McAllister offered a motion
that the bid lie awarded to the Indus
trial Worker as the lowest bidder. The
motion was seconded by Hose and
curried.
The long standing hill of Auditor
Chits. Milot was resurrected by Coun
cilman Ross and remarked that there
w.in n qurniloii as to whether the law
suit threatened by Milot could be
beaten. City Attorney O’Neill rose to
' remark that he was so sure of it that
1 la- was willing to put up the differ
ence himself out of his own salary,
l He would not advise the council to let
•Milot sue unless he was sure. No
further action was taken.
Councilman Hose suggested that a
committee be appointed to confer with
the Moose lodge in the selection of a
burial plot in the city cemetery and
Boss, Hose and 1‘oteet were selected
for that purpose by the mayor.
Atfer some debate the council de
cided to accept an offer of Captain
Tom Ross to rent a scow for use as a
team ferry across Snake river at a
stated rental of fifty dollars for two
months of which W. J. Howe had
agreed to pay ten dollars. The coun
cil also decided to install the same
immediately by spanning the stream
with a cable and attaching the scow
thereto. J. W. Downing, who was in
I 'be audience, inquired as to when the
ferry would be ready. Mayor Blake
replied that he thought in a day or
two.
City Attoi'ney O’Neill stated to the
council that he had had his attention
called to the fact that the sidewalk
in front of the Charles Kummerick
property was in bad condition. There
was some dispute as to location of the
side walk but it was found that none
of it wus on city property, and, further
more, Mr. Katnmerick had agreed to
lix it himself.
The city attorney also again re
»erred to the Milot t>1II, stilting that
he wished to define his position more
clearly. He thought Milot should la
allowed to file his suit if he so desired.
.Milot, he said, hud taken upon himself
sundry and divers duties which he,
the city attorney, averred did not be
long in the work of auditing the city
accounts and he felt that the sum of
fered to Milot was most generous for
•he services actually required of him.
lie declared that, in his opinion, there
was no question on earth thnt Milot
would get less by suing.
Hose called attention to the fact
hat the city pumping contract is up
in about two weeks and some arrange
ments should be made to protect the
city from fire. After some discussion
it was decided to appoint a commlt
to interview Manager McConnell,
< f the Right Company and make ar
rangements, If possible,, for an exten
sion of Hit- present contract. Poteet,
Burgh and Ross were appointed. The
council then adjourned.

NEWS NOTES
The case of the Blue tioose Mining j
Company vs. the Northern Light Min
ing Company is at present occupying
the attention of the district court.
The Bennington, or Valdez, as the
vessel is now known, is expected to
arrive anytime within the next twen
ty four hours with freight and mall.
Patrolman Eddy, who has been on
the sick list for then past few days, is
■ported coining around nicely under
the care of. Dr. Chace and will be
around again in a day or two.
The Arctic will start on the second
trip of the season to northern points
about seven this evening. The Sil
ver Wave is expected to return from
St. Michael some time tonight and
will leave in the morning for Kotzebue
and way points.
The Flyer came up from Solomon
at noon today and departed on the
return journey with several passen
gers including Otto tint! Mrs. Hafla
and Al. Kohler. The vessel also car
ried the mail for Council and a quan
tity of freight.
Mr. George A. Parks, surveyor-in
spector of the general land office, de
parted for the Council section on of
ficial business in connection with the
work of his department. Mr. Parks
covers the inspection of all govern
ment surveys of mineral land from
Juneau to this section of Alaska.
The Victoria pulled out for the out
side by way of St. Michael last even
ug shortly before eight o'clock with a
well tilled passenger list and a small
qautity of freight and ore from the
interior. The vessel will make the re
turn journey to Seattle by way of
Seward, Valdez and Cordova.
Preparations tire being made to
launch the schooner Challenge and tho
vessel will probably be in the water
within the next day or two. Captain
Crawford secured the launching tim
bers necessary to the operaton a few
• lays ago after waiting a considerable
time. The vessel will probably not
sttil on the northern trip until some
time in August.
Collins, the young man who essay
ed to indulge in the sports of the un
tamed savages of Alaska on the
Fourth by allowing himself to be toss
ed in the walrus hide, is in the hospi
tal suffering from a pair of sprained
ankles sustained during the interest
ing experience mentioned. He is re
ported by his physician, Dr. Chaco, to
he progressing nicely.
The schooner Jewel Guard anchored
in Snake river last evening after a
trip down the const from toe Sinuk
mission. The trim little schooner >e
longs to the mission having been pur
chased to replace the schooner New
Jersey, which was IorI. The name of
the vessel is taken from a society of
the Methodist church composed of lit
tle boys and girls and it was these
little ones who contributed their nick
els and dimes toward the purchase
price of the boat and presented it to
the mission at Sinuk.
Mr. J. H. Itengstorff has been ap
pointed by Judge Tucker to the post
of I'nited States commissioner of the
Noatak-Kohuk district to succeed
William J. Southworth who sent In
his resignation a short time since. The
headquarters of the new commission
er are designated at Klana. Mr.
Southworth has been the government
representative in that section for some
time and wtis well liked by the miners,
lie has. however, decided to divert
himself of official responsibilities.
A. A. Allan, our own Scotty, has
invented a propeller driver motor sled
at his home in Berkeley, Cal., and will
send the new machine in to Nome on
the next trip of ttw> steamers, accord
ing to advices received by Mr. Darl
ing. Mr. Darling has received a photo
of the new contrivance, which looks
like a combination of windmill and
toboggan. Scotty figures that it will
prove to be the solution of the winter
transportation problem in Alaska and
judging from the looks of the machine
it should sail over the snow like a
bird. A sixty horse power engine sup
plies the power to the big propeller
which is situated on the front end of
the machine.
Miss Anita Allen, who arrived in
the city on the early boats and who
through charming graces has created
a wide circle of friends during her
brief stay, is not a chechaco by any
means. The young lady is, in fact, a
sourdough of ttfe most approved stamp,
having resided in Nome for several
seasons in the “good old days,” the
old timers tell about. At the time
the young lady was here before she
t
was not quite so large as at present,
t hose who knew her remember a lit
lie girl with "pig tails" hanging down
her back who used to be a constant
companion of her "daddy." Theopilus
Allen, manager of the Wild Goose Com
pany in those days. It’s the same
little girl, however, only she’s differ
ent now'.
Mr. Walter Kohen, who arrived from
Kiana. on the Arctic states that there
is white marble in the Hunt river
section but that it is badly broken
and hardly lit for commercial purposes,
as far as could be ascertained on a
recent visit. Air. Kohen says that it
is some job getting to it as it lies in
a very difficult country. He says that
the trip was one of the hardest of his
experience of seventeen years of
mushing over the niggerheads in the
north, fart of the journey was made
m a Brooks torpedo boat fitted with
iwo Evinrude propellers, at that. Ko
hen, with Billy Southward and an
other man, made the trip and hud to
pole for their lives to get up the Hunt
river to Frank Atalfatti’s copper mine
near the left fork of the Hunt. Heav
ing the copper mine the party con
tinued up the left fork to the head, a
distance of about fifty five miles, with
plenty of hard work all the way. There
they left the boat and made the re
maining twenty live miles on foot.
The district is one that has probably
never been prospected by white men
before but the explorers found little
to l-eward them for their journey.
Some placer ground was examined and
several copper prospects were found
in addition to the marble mentioned.
Kohen says that there is a great
stretch of country lying in there that
is highly mineralized and will bear
going over.
A man named Wilson has prospect
ed for copper on the upper reaches of
the Noatak, about one hundred and
fifty miles from Kotzebue sound, and
has found much copper. On the re
turn journey the Kohen party also
met Frank Hussey coming down the
river from a prospecting trip. He
reported to them that he had found
good looking quartz and many indica
tions of extensive copper deposits.
Kohen says that magnetite iron ore
has been located near the head of
Dahl creek which carries gold values
in excess of six dollars. Kohen also
reports that a party named Burton,
aecompanied by Judge Chldlster re
turned from a trip to Hucky Six creek,
400 miles up the Noatak. The pair
spent a year in the section near the
headwaters of that river and brought
back many specimens of silver, lend
and copper ore, also some gold. An
other outfit also went into the new
country this spring with the intention
of prospecting.
