STEAM DREDGING
SAVES NOME CAMP
Dredging in the Nome mining dis
trict or' Alaska is gradually restoring
that camp to a position of importance
it held during the days of early opera
tions, says John Brower, mining man
of the North, who has operated in
that vicinity for sixteen years. Brow
er came South last winter for the
second time in sixteen years and is
in Seattle preparing to return. He is i
a guest at the Frye, says the Seattle
Times.
'“When the rich pay panned out in
the Nome submarine beaches,'’ said
Brower today, “milling men gradual
ly deserted that camp for better
grounds. Hand working of tiie Nome
claims was too expensive to warrant
operations on the low grade pay to
be obtained and the camp seemed
doomed to desertion.
“About this time the steam dredge
made its appearance and began to
working ground paying as low as fif
teen cents a yard. Each year a few
new dredges were imported with the
result that dredging operations in
the district are' now extensive. The
average pay in the Nome camp is
about forty cents a yard and excel
lent results are being obtained from
dredging.”
LABORS AS A MAN IN M<NE
WITHOUT REVEALING SEN
PITTSBURG. Pa., May 19.—Each
morning at 7 o'clock for three years,
a youthful coal digger went down in
the mines at Tyler, Pa., clad in over
alls, a blue fejiirt, with a miner’s cap
and lamp.
The young miner was.known as
“Joe Iticatone,” from Sunny Italy.
Bright and happy of face and disposi
tion, always ready to engage in a
frolic or a fistfight, if occasion de
manded, Joe won a place in the
hearts of the others miners and was
not only regarded as a good fellow,
but a friend to tie to.
Rather suddenly one day recently
Joe decided to give up mining and
try something else. There were his
brothers to consult, and after a sol
emn family council it was decided
that he should don a woman’s appa-'
rel and come to Pittsburg to find
some other kind of employment.
For “Joe” is a girl.
She is a beautiful girl too. She
had come to America to win her for
tune and the lure of $2.50 per day in
the mines was too strong for an am
bitious girl of her physique.
To carry out her plans she donned
the regulation attire of the Italian
laborer and applied to the mines for
work.
She did the regular work required
by the men at her side and at no time
was her sex suspected.

ORDER SUPPLIES FOR
THE ENTIRE YEAR
There will be a rejoicing on the
Prihiiof islands when the supplies
tor next tali winter and spring ar
rive. New clothes for the men, wo
men and children, good things to
eat, ammunition for the rifles and
shotguns, household furniture, medi
cines and other necessities will come
by the ship load. Enough to last a
year. That is the way the brueau of
fisheries, which have control of the
islands, buys. Bids on 1,487 different
articles have been called for by the
bureau.
Except for the employes of the bu
reau of fisheries and the school teach
ers,, there are hut few white people
on the Pribilofs. The rest ape Na
tives. However, those of the Far
North demand good things to eat anti
wear.
Golf caps for men are specified and
nothing less than Paris garters wili
satisfy the fastidious dressers, of
whom there are apparently twenty
four on St. Paul and St. George is
lands. The king of indoor sports on
the islands is smoking and no less
than 11,125 pounds of the leaf made
famous by Sir Walter Raleigh are
ordered in the specifications. Cigars
of the Manila brand, 9,000 of them
are wanted in the North, and accord
ing to the supply list "they must he
at least five inches long.” The St.
Paul islanders smoke "tailor made"
cigarettes, while the St. George men
roll their own, in consequence of
which 1,000 books of papers are
wanted on St. George.
The women of the islands seem to
delight in fancy colored skirts, but
for some reason every request wheth
er for gingham, percale, or sateen,
is marked, "send no yellow."
Among the foodstuffs 1,240 pints of
Worcestershire sauce, six live tur
keys, 100 pounds of pickel pig’s feet,
24 pints of sweet gherkins, and
hundreds of cans of apples, peaches,
pears and cherries hold forth vis
ions of repast such as will be en
joyed onV the Fourth of July, birth
days and Christmas.
The girls have not been neglected
either, for ISO cartons of Wrigley's
chewing gum, 800 pounds of pailed
candy and 24 pounds of bonbons are
called for. It's a long and expensive
bill which Uncle Sam will foot when
the shipments go on their Northern
journey.
NEITHER WESTWARD TOWN
WILL BE PORT OF ENTRY
•Neither Seward or Anchorage will
be made ports of entry this summer,,
according to E. R. Stivers, deputy
Collector of Customs, now in Anchor
age. where he will be stationed for
about a month. After he leaves there
a special man will be appointed to
act only while a ship is in port un
loading bulk cargo of coal, steel or
other commodity for the Alaska Eng
ineering Commission.
The collector of Customs at Juneau
confirms the statement that neither
Seward or Anchorage will be desig
nated as ports of entry this year, and
a temporary appointment will not be
nrade for Seward this year. On ac
count of the Alaska Engineering Com
mission importing several cargoes of
coal and steel this season for the use
of the railroad, a temporary man
will be appointed under an authoriza
tion received recently from Washing
ton, stationed at Anchorage who will
be paid for each day actually employ
ed.
A petition from the Seward Com
mercial club asking that Seward be
designated as a port of entry was re
cently sent to Washington. In an
swer to the petition, a letter was
received recently by the collector of
customs here, which states that it
is unnecessary. The department has
received authorized information that
neither the Grand Trunk nor the Can
adian Pacific Pacific are contemplat
ing extending their service to Seward
and therefore the designation of that
place as a port of entry unnecessary
and inadvised.
