REINDEER HERD IS
NEARINU NOME
The Miller reindeer herd, from
the Teller district, is enroute to
Nome and is daily expected to ar
rive. As soon as the herd reached
Nome and has had time to recuper
ate from the trip the animals will
be slaughtered and placed on the
local market. As this time of the
year is ideal for keeping fresh meat
no doubt many householders will
avail themselves of the opportunity
ti lay in a supply of this toothsome
A warning has been directed to
ward dog Owners notifying them
that dogs bothering the deer will
be summarily shot and no questions
as to ownership asked.
AMENDED LOCATION 160
ACRES NOT TO
INCLUDE NEW GROUND
The much mooted point as to
whether a 160 acre association min
ing claim can be amended so as to
take in new ground seems to be
Settled by the following message
from Surveyor-General Theile to
Martin Strand, of Nome.
“One hundred sixty acre placer
location cannot be amended to take
in new ground. Order for survey |
of such amended location should ;
not be issued.
THEILE. Surveyor-General."
Mr. Strand discovered that a 20
acre claim upon which he has been
doing the assessment work for the
owners, had been annexed to and
mide a part of an adjoining 160
acre traft by an amended location
and on which a survey for patent
had been made.
The right of staking 160 acre
itra^t* by eight associate locators
was abolished by Act of Congress
approved Aug. 1, 1912. and since
that date no association larged than
40*acres can be staked. A 160 acre
tiact staked prior to Aug. 1, 1912.
is of course still a valid location. It
seems certain that the only valid
amended location which can be
made and filed for such a claim is
for the mere purpose of defining
and describing the boundaries more
accurately.

\OMK CITY OOVNOL
'HAH BUSY SES8IOY
The regular meeting of the Nome
City Council was held In the City
Hall last Monday night at eight
o’clock with all members present.
New and old bills were presented
and considered and disposed of ac
cording to routine.
The Treasurer’s report shows a
balance in the city treasury of
A communication was read from
Territorial Superintendent of
Schools Leeter D. Henderson stat
ing that the budgets of the City
Council and Nome School Board
did not agree. He thanked the city
for calling his attention to the dis- |
crepancy but failed to Btate what
action he had taken relative to
appropriating Territorial funds for
School purposes.
Apparently the School Board over
looked the City Council budget as i
agreed upon by the Council and sub
mitted only their own budget or es
timate of the amount of money re-1
quired to maintain the Nome school.
It was shown by the City Attorney
that it is the function of the City^
Council to determine the amount |
ot money it will appropriate for the
maintenance of the public school |
and the Territory then appropriates
three times as much money from
the Territorial Treasury, which sum
is to be placed in the School Fund
of the incorporated city. The Mayor
stated that in as much as the school
board was given a copy of the bud
get as approved by the Council it
is hard to understand why they
failed to submit it to Mr. Hender
son. Quite likely it was an over
sight and will be corrected. One
thing certain remains, the City and
hot the Territory determined the
money to be paid by the city for
school purposes.
Clerk Baldwin of the School
Board asked the Council to appro
priate $1,500 for school purposes,
but was denied the request. It is
understood, for the reason that the
School Board’s action with regard
to the School Budget has created
to a legal situation which may have
to be settled by the court.
The matter of Street Lights for
the winter was taken under con
sideration and a committee of the
Mayor, and Councilmen Burgh and
Cavey was appointed to confer with
the Power Company regarding
lights or no lights tor the winter.
The committee Is to report at a
special meeting Monday night Nor.
20th at seven o'clock.
The Kell bill for services render
ed an erysipelas patient was brot
up for consideration and upon roll
call was 'ordered not paid.
FIONKKR MEETING PRESENTS
SOME VITAE ISSUES
The regular meeting of the Pio
ueers of Alaska was held last Wed
nesday evening and a large attend
ance was present.
A committee was appointed to
draft a resolution to start a move
ment to move the Pioneers' Homo
to California, or some other desir
able location. A resolution will
also be drawn asking the Legisla
ture to pass an act providing pen
sions sufficient to enable old min
ers to select their own locality in
which to reside.
At the next.regular meeting Dec.
6th. the resolutions committee will
submit its report. At this time
also will be made nominations of
officers for the coming year.
PROSPECTORS FIND
GOOD INDICATIONS
A. M. Hansen and Chris Hansen,
partners, are prospecting on placer
properties between Wonder and
IHolyoke Creeks below the third
beach line. The two men took ont
a small quantity of coal and provi
sions'and began their work.
A shaft was sunk to a depth of
some thirty feet and a drift run
thirty six feet. Pannings show
some exceptional samples of gold
and the drift will be extended to
determine the amount of pay dirt.
The gold may prove to be merely
a pocket and then also may develop
into a real new strike. Whatever
the results will be is yet to be de
termined. These men will contin
ue their work as long as their fin
ances hold out or enough pay dirt
has been blocked out to assure the
future of the mine. In the event
that these men succeed in finding
and developing a new strik^ winter
mining will receive an impetus that
has long been dormant.
