compulsory military training.

to a depth of ten or eleven feet
by means of a steam boiler and

Reports has it that miners ar
riving from the hills say that
open water was visible far out on
Bering sea this morning. Sev
eral who have turned their gaze
seaward after climbing to roofs of
come of the higher ' u ' into to
day report that the break is so
far out as to be invisible from
town.
It is reported that the Pioneer
Mining Company has started the
work of opening the big ditches
for summer work and a number
of men are employed in clearing
the snow and tunneling through
the big drifts old Boreas has
thrown across the water way at
several points.
Mr- Charles KammericV e
turned from a two months visit
to Teller yesterday and reports
that as far as may be judged by
appearances the break up will
not occur in that section before
the first of July. Deep snow is
everywhere and the atmosphere
generally very wintrv. Teber is
reported quiet with little of in
terest going on.
The Nome Gun Club held their
regular weekly shoot at the
Steadman avenue grounds yes
terday afternoon, with a good
sized gathering of the members
and fans on hand to share in the
sport. E. W- Burroughs car
ried off all the honors of the day.
The grounds are still deeply cov
ered with snow but this fact does
not in the least diminish the
ardor of the gun men or the in
terested fans.
Recent mention of early spring
flowers develops that there are a
number who have rose bushes in
full bloom. One of the most re
markable to come to notice is a
crimson Rambler belonging to
Mrs. J. D. Jordan. This plant
is not only remarkable for the
quantity and beauty of its blos
soms but also for its size. The
plant measures no less than
seven feet, ten inches in height.
At present it has four full blown
flowers of great depth and rich
ness of color and eighteen buds
The first flowers appeared about
the first of April.
The Nome Chamber of Com
merce intends to hold regular

vals from now on. The chamber
has secured the use of the Pion*

Wednesdays and the meetings
wlil be held on those dates. The
first meeting under new schedule
will take place Wednesday next.
It is the intention to get in some
hard licks between now and the
opening of navigation and a large
number of matters affecting the
community will be pursued ex
haustively so that action can be
taken as soon as navigation is
open. The harbor matter will
be one of the first things to meet
consideration and it is the inten
tion to conduct a vigorous cam
paign to secure that very neces
sary improvement.
A Seattle dispatch to the Al
aska Citizen of Fairbanks dated
April A2 says that Capt. Raold
Amundsen, discoverer of the
south pole and northwest pas
sage, has announced his determ
ination to make a dash for the
north pole during the coming
season. The dispatch states that
lie was then making preparations
for the trip and had already laid
in a large stock of supplies. Both
the dispatch and previous an
nouncements. indicate that the
famous discoverer will proceed to
tiie north by way of Bering sea
and it nia} he possible that we
will have the opportunity of
aga n seeing him in Nome, the
; oint from which his first notable
discovery was announced to the
world
Percy Blatchford will leave for

A heavy freeze last night again
hardened up the trails and trav
eling is reported good today. Ar
rivals from the hills are unani
mous in stating that there is no
sign of spring a few miles out of
tow'd, and that the snow is heav
ier than at any time in previous
-. ears. All indications point to a
. erv late resumption of mining
activities.

The Grande Duchesse of Lux
embourg, produced at Eagle hall
Saturday night under the direc
tion of Prof. Henry Peterson
was a decided success in an ar
tistic sense but did not receive
the patronage to which it was
tistly entitled. Considered as a
whole the performance was good
and the .singing excellent al
though at times a trifle too weak
be clearly distinguished in the
farther sections of the hall. The
production showed an immense
amount of painstaking work in
preparation and the costuming
was excellent and quite above
the level of anyth ng ever seen
in Nome. Particularly effective
work was done by Dr. Sharpe in
the character of Fritz, the pri
vate-general who was not as
lucky in war as in love- Mrs.
Polet acquitted herself well in
the leading feminine role, the
Grande Duchesse. as did also
Miss Baker who. presented the
character of Wanda. Mr. Fred
Cowden in the character of Bar
on Puck, did his bit well, also
Mr. Saxton as the blustering
General Boom, and Mr. Little
field in the dual roles of Nepo
muc and Baron Grog. Mr. Rose
as Prince Paul was hardly a con
vincing suitor but was earnest
and willing in his efforts as may
also be said of the others whose
histronic abilities were not equal
to their parts. The ensembles
were good and the chorus sang
well and was most pleasing in
appearance.
It is not generally understood
that all persons engaging in the
mining business as operators are
required under the terms of the
new territorial revenue law to
take out a license whether or not
they are subject to taxation or
not. Section i of chapter 76,
which covers the present system

of territorial taxation provides:
"That any person, firm or cor
poration prosecuting or attempt
ing to prosecute any of the fol
lowing lines of business in the
terri 1>ry of Alaska shall apply
for and obtain a license and pay
for said license for the respective
lines of business,” etc." This is
taken to mean in its relation to
mining that all persons engaging
in mining or other businesses
where the rate of taxation is fix
ed by the amount of the income
must secure a licence whether
their business is of a size to come
under the taxation provision or
not. It is stated that no charges
are made for such license and all
the operating miner needs to do
is to sign a statement concerning
the income derived from his op
erations. Blanks are to be had
at the office of the marshal and
all information will be supplied
