telling of the death of “Mammy”

VAIiffZ rARflO MAINLY
FOR YURA MFC. CO.
The freighter Valdes, which ar
rived in Nome Aug. 30th. had
aboard 298 tons of freight, of which
approximately 200 tons were con
signed to the Yuba Mfg. Co. at
Nome. The balance of the cargo is
consigned to.local merchants. Lum
ber. boilers, hardware and machine
parts were included in the present
consignment to the Yuba Co.
Upon arrival in Nome it was the
intention of the Captain of the Val
dez to unload only the mall, on ac
count of the Nome freight having
been placed under freight consigned
to Golovin and St. Michael. After
consulting with Agent Carroll and
others the Captain decided to com
plete unloading the Nome freight
before proceeding down the coast,
all of which was done in double
quick time, thereby satisfying those
who had a just complaint, against
the annoying method of logdlng
Nome merchandise beneath that for
other ports.
TERRITORIAL TAX COLLECTOR
SPEAKS WELL OF NOME
Geo. W. Mock. Territorial Tax
Collector, arrived on the Sea Wolf
Aug. 29th from St. Michael, *%Ir.
Mock left Juneau Aug. 12th and
made a record trip to Nome.
The duties of this collector are to
advise various merchants, profes
sional men and owners of vessels
regarding the territorial tax laws
which require the payment of a li
cence tax for conducting the various
businesses.
While here Mr. Mock collected
over one thousand dollars in back
taxes which have been overlooked^
thru a misinterpretation of the tax
requirements. With the exception
of but one or two cases the collector
was met with great courtesy and
payment was made with out protest.
In this regard Mr. Mock wishes to
thank the people of Nome thru the
Nome Nugget, for their hearty co
operation and willing observance of
Speaking of Nome Mr. Mock
states of all the camps he visited in
Alaska. Nome has the appearance of
beinp the most lively; more pep, en
thusiasm and actual business is
being evidenced here than any
where along the line.
Mr! Mock left Friday for St. Mich
ael on the Valdes and will return
to Juneau over the railroad Instead
of waiting tot the Victoria and re
turning by the long expensive water
route to Seattle. Being able to
make bis return in this manner the
territory will be saved a consider
able expense, which at the present
time of an embarraaed treasury. Is
much -to be desired.
