NEWS TOLSTOI DIGGINGS
W. H. Gifford writes to Win.
Parsons of this city from Ruby
respecting the new strike in the
Tolstoi section under date of
April 30:
Friend Bill : There has been a
little strike over in that country
where we were in 1907 called the
Tolstoi. We crossed it when we
came out. We crossed it the day
you and the boys left me at Bak
er creek. I am sending you a
paper so you can see for yourself.
Everyone here that has come
back from there speaks well of it
and if you are not doing much I
would take a chance. But suit
voureslf. Yours truly,
WM. H. GIFFORD.
The paper referred to is the
Ruby Record Citizen of April 29
and contains a lengthy article rel
ative to the new strike. It says
that every one that has been to
the new camp says that it looks
good although there is obviously
not a great deal in sight at pres
ent either good looking or bad
looking minerologically speak
ing, but a miracle has happened
in that not a knock has been
heard so far The paper declares,
however, that there has not been
received sufficient data on which
to base a reliable opinion regard
ng the importance of the strike.
The Record Citizen also says that
a graet rush is expected and ad
mits that because of the pecu
liar geographical situation of the
find great inducements are offer
ed for prospecting for great dis
tances in every direction.
A letter received by E. Coke
Hill from W. A. Vinal, United
States commissioner at Ophircon
firms the report of pay on Boob
creek and mentions that good
prospects have been found on
Mastodon creek and its left limit
branch, Wilson creek and also on

Meier and Esperanto. Another
letter to a Ruby man from a
friend who is located on Esper
anto states that coarse gold has
been found on Iron creek. Judge
Vinal also says in his letter that
a townsite has been laid out at
the mouth of Mastodon creek and
the town is to be called Cooper.
There is also talk of incorporat
ing it is as a second class town
under the territorial law. The
Tolstoi is navigable to power
boats at high water clear up to
the townsite. Poling boats can
make the journey at all times.
The strike is located about sixty
j miles rom Iditarod by trail and
can be easily reached by water by
way of the Innoko, and Ditna
rivers.

A New Back for an 0*d One—
How It Can Be Done in
A‘a ska n
The back aches at times with
a dull, indescribable feeling, mak
j ing you weary and restless; pierc
ing pains shoot across the reg
ion of the kidneys, and again the
loins are so lame that to stoop
l is agony. No use to rub or apply
a plaster to the back if the kid
neys are weak. You cannot reach
the cause. Alaskan people would
do well to profit by the following
example.
John I. Conger, prop, printing
j shop, 845 N. Seventeenth St., Sa~
: lem, Oregon, says: "\ly back got
weak and sore and my kidneys
did not act as they should. I could
hardly straighten, Doan’s Kidney
Pills gave me relief and it took
them only a short time to rid me
of kidney trouble. I publicly en
dorsed them several years ago
and am glad to do so again.

The lead was apparently about
four miles out.

the golden reward of winter op
erations.

The misty rain which started |
in night before last continued!
"hroughout the day yesterday
and turned into a sleety snow
rp.rly this morning. Later it j
was supplanted by a heavy fog |
which hung over the coast for;
some hours.
The reports of the weather ob
server concerning ice conditions
one year ago today state that the
ice was out save for a strip of
shore ice about three fourths of
a mile wide. Beyond the water
was clear except for a few ice
bergs. On May 21 the Corwin re
ported seventy miles from Nome
at noon and on May 23 at 12:15,
a vessel, which later proved to be
the Corwin, was sighted far out.

The dance and banquet given
by the local Norwegians in the
Sor.s of the North hall last night
in honor of the Norwegian inde
pendence day was attended by a
large number and a most enjoy
able time was had. Speeches
were made by a number of prom
inent members of the Norwegian
race and the occasion was other
wise celebrated in approved man
ner.
Galon Fry proved the winner
of the semi finals in the class D
section of the Board of Trade
billiard tournament by winning
from Boland in their match last
night. Dr. Fromm carried off
second honors by winning from
Binder. The semi finals of the
big contest are now concluded
and the following games will be
for grand honors.
George A- Kilroy, the local rep
resentative of Walter Johnson,
confirms the report that Johnson
and his associates have taken
hold of the Lost river tin mines
and will operate them during the
summer. One man has already
left for the scene and will be en
gaged in clearing out the tunnels
and otherwise preparing things
for the summer. To what extent
the mine will be worked has not
been ascertained but it is believed
that efforts will be made to plaec
the property on a productive
basis.
The Nonpariel has hung out a
“selling out” sign in front of the
big store that reminds one of the
c^jv_day^when banners of every
description were hung across the
streets, giving the town some
thing of the appearance of a fair.
The Nonpariel sign is something
over twenty feet in length and is
painted in a manner to catch the
eye of even a blind man. Rela
tive to the contemplated retire
ment from business. Manager
Kemp states that every thing will
be sold at bedrock prices and the
sale will be continuous until the
stock is finally disposed of. Some
new goods are coming in and
these too will be sacrified at bar
gain prices.
Superintendent Walter Shields
of the bureau of education re
ceived a telegram Saturday stat
ing that the cutter Bear would
sail that same evening but aside
from this nothing has been heard
concerning the vessel. News of
the departure has probably been
forwarded here but has become
lost in the present telegraphic
tangle due to the broken cable.
At the Dream, the Adventures
of Kathlyn . In tonight’s thrill
ing chapters Kathlyn loses her
followers in the mad rush
through the labyrinth of corri
dors and becomes confused, but
finally finds an open door. Then,
to her dismay, she discovers that
she has exhausted her supply of
ammunition and is being followed
by the lions. She rushes into
a little summer house, flies up
the stairs with the lions in pursuit
goes out upon a portico and bars
the window. Umballah passing,
sees her and fires the building.

The following from the March
number of Harper’s Bazaar, un
der the caption: “Mail by Air:”
Alaska has a grievance. The gov
ernment does not send mail
through in the w'inter, and Wash
ington is being bombarded with
petitions. In summer river boats
penetrate the interior, and each
one gets what is coming to him.
But after September delivery is
lax, although the government
pays for regular service. The ex
cuse is that transportation is im
possible, and yet automobiles
constantly carry perishables and
other delicacies into the heart of
the country. Canadians in the
Dawson district, more than three
hundred miles from a railroad,
receive their mail without inter
ruption, and their government, by
the way, pays less for this con
tinuous service than Washington
does for its hit or miss delivery.
It may be somt consolation for
Alaskans to know that the au
thorities have in mind an aero
plane service between the coast
and inland towns where landing
is possible. Some of the “pork”
we are hearing about ought to be
fed to our much neglected north
ern offshoot. At least we might
keep up with Canada.
