Nothing has boon heard from the
incoming freight steamer Cordova, al
though the vessel is clue to arrive at
St Michael tomorrow or next day.
The Nome common council convened
Monday evening at the usual hour but
failed to transact any business owing
to the day being Labor Pay and a legal
holiday.
Wm Keane is confined to bis homo
with a badly bruised leg resulting from
a recent fall. Although the injury!
was of extensive character, the patient j
is getting along nicely and will soon be j
around again.
The schooner Amy is scheduled to be;
the next boat to depart for the Pirn'
section. The vessel was expected to
get away Tuesday but was prevented
from loading by the high surf pre
vailing along the const during the
past thirty six hours.
Ed Pfaffle. the genial Council City
merchant and business leader, spent
a short period in the city last week
on business bent. Mr Pfaffle reported
that the dredges of the Council dis
trict are all in operation but little or
no mining is going on asi>» from tin*
dredges.
The blow along the const yesterday
sent the moskuitn fleet scurrying to
shelter and the roadstead was prac
tically clear of vessels this morning.
The Belinda and Amy. the t"<* largest
vessels of the fleet still in this locality,
fled to the shelter of Sledge island.
Both are expected to get away as soon
as they can complete loading. The
former is scheduled for \V ran gel Is

Dr Burson. surgeon at Ft Davis dur
ing the past year and the only prac
ticing physician who remained on his
feet during the trying days of the in
fluenza epidemic last winter, departed
for the Outside on the Victoria and
will be stationed at some point in the
States. Dr Burson leaves behind him
a host of friends who are sorry to see
him depart. His labors during the
epidemic period endeared him to all
who possess a proper appreciation ->f
unselfish devotion to duty and the
signal display of heroism guiding his
efforts In behalf of the stricken com
munity.
Dr and Mrs J Dennis Arnold and son
were among the number departing for
the South on the Victoria. The early
departure of the family is necessitated
by the continued illness of Dr Arnold,
who has been in very poor health
throughout his stay this year. The
family spent most of the season at
Council City, where the doctor engaged
as far as his health would permit in
looking after the affairs of the Wild
Goose Company*, of which he is the
head. During the past week or two,
Dr Arnold’s illn'ess became more severe
and resulted in the decision to leave
for the family home in San Francisco
Mr F. M. Ayer, resident manager of
the company, escorted the family to
Golovin to meet the Victoria and ac
companied them to Nome.

Arrivals from the Dexter and upper
Anvil section report that seven mining
outfits arc engaged in that locality. All
of them are said to be working on a
pay streak and several are said to be
doing very well In the matter of re
turns. Chas Colkins and Ix*w. Barney

halcyon days of the great gold rush.

.\ report circulated today to the of

«>n hearing the report. Superinten
dent Evans, accompanied hy Hr Curtis

amination hy Or Welch disclosed that
one was suffering with an attack of
bronchitis and the other with the
malady to which the small lmy is
i much addicted when apples are in the
green stage—stomach ache. The re
port created great uneasiness for a
timo, owing to tlie prevalent fear of a
recurrence • f the epidemic of fast
winter. Nome's peculiar penchant for
developing bile and baseless rumors is
deplorable, to say the least, and when,
as in the instance under discussion,
they are of a character to throw many
of the more timid residents Into a
state of unwarranted apprehension and
fear, it is regrettable- that the repre
hensible tendency cannot be severely
punished.

Through the efforts of Clerk of the
District Court Thomas McCann und
Mayor Holt, the grief stricken wife
and grand daughter of John James
O’Brien, both of whom *aro in Nome
endeavoring to find a trace of thTlr
long missing relative.hnve been restor
ed to happiness by the receipt of a tele
gram from Nenana stating that O’Brien
is alive and well at that point. The
message is from the secretary of the
Nenana I’ioneer Igloo and states that
the supposedly murdered man is em
ployed as a night watchman by the
Alaska Railroad Commission at Ne
nana. The location of the missing man
ends a territory-w*ido search by his
wife extending over several years.
According to the story told by Mrs
O'Brien after her arrival here. O’Brien
h ft his family* in San Francisco four
years ago, intending to go to South
eastern Alaska, where he owned min
ing property, supposedly of consider
able value, acquired during an earlier
visit to the territory.
It was understood at the time O’Brien
left San Francisco that Mrs O’Brien
would remove to San Jose during his
absence. Following Ids departure.
O’Brien evidently lost his wife’s ad
dress and was unable to locate her.
He se.nt several letters to their former
apartments in San Francisco, hut these
wore undelivered owing to the %iilure
of Mrs O'Brein to leave her address
with the proprietors. Relieving that
her husband knew her address and not
knowing where to locate him. Mrs
[O’Brien waited patiently for more than
[a year before realizing that some
thing was wrong. On communicating
I with tlie landlord of their former
dwelling place in San Francisco, she
learned that O’Brien had written many
times hut the landlord, not knowing '
Mrs O’Brien's weherenltouts. had sent
the letters to the dead letter office.
Then commenced a search which has
led the unfortunate wife to Nome, after
vainly endeavoring to locate her miss
ing husband by correspondence with a
majority < f the newspapers and offic
ials of the territory, during the last
three years. 1-ast year she learned
through a former Noincite that a man
named John O’Brien had been residing
at Nome. Her informant told her that
the O’Brien in question had been mur
dered. supposedly for his money some
where in this district in 1017. Convinc
ed from the description that the mur- :
dered man was her husband, the sor
rowing woman decided to come to i
Nome and learn the truth and also i
make an attempt to recover some of !
the property Iter husband was sup- I
posed to possess. , Having been under <
a great expanse in endeavoring to
locate the missing man. Mrs O’Brien
was in poor circumstances. The cost- !
ly Journey to Nome dissipated most of |
her remaining funds and. she is at
present in a practically destitute con
dition. hence the announcement that
her husband lias been located is a
double occasion for relief. Following
the receipt o£ the telegram from the
Nfenann Pioneers. City Clerk 'Grimm
wired a full description of the miss
ing man to Nenana and received an
answer stating that the O'Brien there
undoubtedly the man sought. Mayor
Holt stated today that he intends to
wire immediately in an endeavor to
unite the long parted hustiand and
wife.
The Ala^ca Steamship Co. liner Vic
toria returned from nearly a weeks
stay at St Michael yesterday afternoon
