MANY VESSELS ARE WRECKED
SEA WOLF RETURNS TO N<*ME, BRINGING STORY OF MANY
WRECKS AND MUCH LOSS OF LIFE DURING THE STORM
WHICH WRECKED NOME AND SOLOMON.
Nome. Oct . I a.—The steam
schooner “Sea Wolf’ reached
here today from the Siberian
coast and reports that many of
the trading vessels out lifted at
Nome for Siberian and Alaska
trading have been wrecked, and
that many lives were lost in the
recent storm.
The captain of the Sea Wolf
stale's that the steamer Nora,
owned and operated in the Siber
ian trading business by Captain
< inis| ter. had been wrecked and
I he crew. Captain Guistler, his
wife, a native woman, and their
ihroe children, had all perished.
wrecks on Sifierian coast.
The captain also reports tin*
wreck on tile Siberian coasl of
Ihe si earner K1 Sueno, in com
mand of Captain McIntyre. The
boat struck near Siberian bay and
I be entire crew were drowned.
Marlin Morrison and a moviiiK
picture man who were aboard the
-hip are missing and the natives
-ay the men abandoned the 'Ship
before if struck ami they have
never seen them since.
Ship’s Log Found.
A portion of the log of a ship
made out on a typewriter has
been fou'nd by the Sea Wolf, and
it is believed to be the log of one
of the Steffanson ships. The log
states that the vessel, which is
not named, is leaking badly near
St. Lawrence bay, and further
stales that tin ship is tilling rap
idly. II- is not thought likely that
the log belonged to a whaler, as
few if any of them use a type
writer, and it is known that the
explorer’s ships were both equip
ped with typewriter logs.
Bodies Washed Ashore.
Twenty bodies have been wash
ed ashore at Solomon, all of
them, however, are bodies known
to he buried in I lie graveyard al
that place, and the action of the
waters washed away tin- sand and
sent the bodies u/loal. some to
he again washed on the shore
and others never to be found
again.

<lien Names aiul Ernest Olsun,
who left Valdez September 23 for
the Nclehina camp, returned this
forenoon after having spent two
days in the camp. They made re
markably good time, being only
live days on the trail from the
diggings to Eopper Center and
three days and one hour from
Copper Center to Valdez. They
estimate that, the distance from
Copper Center 1 the diggings
via the summer trail is about
llu miles. Wlun Tazlina lake
and river freeze the distance will
lie not more Ilian seventy miles.
They report that the country is
slaked for miles around where
discovery was made, hut. did not
stake for themselves. Powers of
attorney had been liberally used
and may lead lo litigation if the
claims prove lo he valuable when
developed.
The miners are well pleased
wilh the formal ion of the dis
trict and state that conditions
are similar to those of Fair
banks. The hills are rolling and
the valleys wide but have sufli
eient fall to provide easy hand
ling of the gravel deposits.
The men state that few of the
stainpeders from this section of.
the country were in lime to get
in on the ground near the dis
covery hut they are spreading out
and locating new creeks and will
spend the winter in attempting
to locate the paystreaks. They
will both return to the diggings
during the winter. Mr. Olson de
