the children’s playground on Bar
rack's Square in shape for the summer
and have also given the swings, see
saws and other impediment! a becom
ing coat of paint provided by donations
obtained from kind hearted citm.ms

Tom Gaffney arrived in town from
Sunset, crock Saturday and reports
that a shortage of water for sluicing
has forced the suspension of the min
ing operations of Chas. Neuhaus and
himself in that locality. Tom said
that the country is bone dry at pres
ent. The water stopped remarkably
sudden in the Sunset section after run
ning for a short period and forced the
abandonment of sluicing for the pres
ent. Arrangements are being made to
partners will bo ready to resume work
in a week or so.
Nothing has been heard concerning
the whereabouts of the Coast Guard
Cutler Bear since the vessel departed
from Seattle. As the cutter requires
about ten days to reach Unalaska, it
is probable that, she arrived there
about Thursday or Friday. If the ves
sel follows the usual practice she will
remain at Unalaska or Dutch Harbor
for a few days, afterward proceeding
to St. Paul Islands to land the mail.
From that point the cutter will prob
ably come to Nome. i'nloss ice con
ditions intervene or the stay at lTna
laska is prolonged, the cutter may ar
rive here around .Iunc 5th. provided
that the official powers so decree.
Apl»nrently under the impulse of a
light northerly wind, the vast ice field
covering the surface of Bering Soa in
front of Nome throughout the winter
commenced to move yesterday after
noon and today the roadstead is practi
cally free of ice. Following the first
break in the floe a few hundred yards
from shore the pack moved steadily
southward during the afternoon and
before the evenings hours commenced
a wide stretch of open water had ap
peared for miles along the coast east
and west of the city. A narrow strip of
grounded shore ice remained along the
water front for a few hours after the
pack started to move but this too had
practically disappeared by midnight.
The departure of the pack occurred at
a somewhat earlier period than is us
ually the case and several weeks ahead
of the date of departure last year.
This morning only a scattering of de
tached ico cakes appeared in the of
fing.

That J. L. Junes, the Ketchikan can
didate for toffice of Alaska Delegate
to Congress, will undoubtedly boat

tained in a telegram reaching Thus.

man of excellent attainments and was

and a firm defender of the rights of

man and his characteristics, fidelity to
horn-sty and integrity, coupled with
the fac t that he possesses a thorough
knowledge of Alaska’s interests, leads
to believe that Jones would be an ideal
Mr. Gaffney also expresses the great
est confidence that he will be support
ed bv every citizen who is opposed to
machine autocracy in the southern
parts of the Territory and will prob
ably receive equal support here, des
pite- the fact that he is little known,
because of his anti-machine attitude.
