Work on the jetty construction on
the east side of Snake river is making
gooil progress since the return of set
tled weather. The government work
at present consists of driving the sheet
piling fornfling the Hhnirply sloping
walls of the jetty. As a result of the
work accomplished during the past
week or so. the cement capping install
ed at the sea end of the jetty to pro
tect the timber work from the ravages
of ice and sea has been completed and
the finished outline of the jetty is com
noticing to appear at the outer end of
tlie construction. The huge pile driver
engaged is being brought direr in
shore as the work progresses e.i.d the
superfluous piling employed in arlier
stages of the work is being removed
as the driver progresses toward shore.

Mr. It. P. Tarr, wlio Is interested in
mining ground in the American creek
section, is hack to town front an ex
tended tour of investigation in that
locality which included a visit in the
Mt. Bendelehen section. Mr. Tarr is
a mining engineer of wide experience
and avers that the llcndclcbcn section
hears the ear marks of i( good locality
for future quartz finds. During the
course of hi.-, trip to Mt. Bendeleben.
he attempted to investigate several
quartz tunnels located in the mountain
side hut found that they were blocked
or caved to such extent that full inves
tigation was out e.f the question with
out considerable work. The country
looks very good as a quartz locality,
however, and he expresses the view
that good quartz may yet lie located In
that section.
| Mr. S'. ITimatchenko Nichols, Presi
dent of the American-Sibcrian Trading
Company. Incorporated, of Seattle, ar
rived in Nome on the steamer Victoria
uitli the intention of establishing local
connections for his company, which,
as the name Indicates, Is engaged in
the Siberian trade and has established
agencies at Vladivostok, l’etropavlosk,
Shanghai, Yoknmama and Kobe, .Japan,
as well ns other points in the Orient
and the Cnited States. The company
also holds valuable mining and other
concessions in the Kamchatka section
li. the vicinity of the Shurtsk river.
The company is incorporated under'
the laws of Washington and has head
quarters in the Lyon building in Seat
tle. Mr. Nichols is a Russian by birth
and is a native of I’etrograd. Asso
ciated with him in the enterprise are a
number of leading Seattle business men
and also several distinguished Rus
Mr. Nichols' company is the Ameri
can agents of the Karloff Brothers, the
Siberian trading magnates whose ac
tivities have provided a most Import
ant addition to Nome's foreign com
merce during the past year or two. Mr.
Nichols himself, is thoroughly conver
sant with Russian affairs and expresses
the most optimistic hopes of a steadily
increasing volume of commerce be
tween Nome and Siberia. He pro
phesies that within another year or two
numerous Russian vessels will be com
ing tp Nome to secure supplies, ns he
is personally aware that many Rus
sians engaged in various enterprises on
the Siberian const adjacent, to Nome
are already commencing to look to this
port ns a future source of supplies.
Owing to Nome being the nearest sup
ply center, he says, the trade of the
nearby Siberian coast Is certain to
gravitate this way. Goods can be se
cured here at much lower coat than
along the lower Siberian coast, where
supplies arc limited and will likely re
main so as long as the present un
stable political conditions prevail. Mr,
Nichols avers that the construction of
the Snnke river harbor will be a most
Important factor In helping to bring
the Russian trade to Nome, as the un
ccrtaintks of navigation on the Nome
y.qast have heretofore been a strong
deterrent to commercial Intercourse.
Vie is deeply enthusiastic concerning
the harbor and says its construction is
one of the finest- things that could
occur in connection with the prospec
tive development of commercial inter
course witty Siberia. Mr. Nlchpls say
the Russian situation has been much
misrepresented by the American press
arid avers that conditions in Russia
and Siberia arc not one tenth part as
bad as most*Americans have been led
to believe. He condemns Bolshevism,
however, and says the Bolshevist, as
well as the Kolchak governments are
transitory and will bo superceded by
others of more stable character. He
says the Siberians are partial to Am
ericans and would welcome American
goods and American people and would
be glad to do anything possible to
bring about closer relations between
America and Siberia. His company
Is steadily enlarging the scope of its
Siberian operations and expects to
soon establish a direct line of steamers
between Seattle and Siberia. The
company also expects to conduct a
rge volume of future business with
the Bering Sea section of Siberia thru
Nome.
During the course of his stay. Mr.
Nichols intends to visit Siberia to
learn the exact conditions prevailing on
the farther coast.
