look for this section is exceedingly
bright, now that pre war conditions
are being reached. Food and min

RUSSIAN GUNBOAT ARRIVES IN
NOME WITH OOAIi.
At noon Monday. Sept. 25th the
Magnet, a Russian White govern
ment gunboat made her appearance
ir the Nome roadstead with her
hold filled with about 300 tons ot
Japanese coal. Mr. A. Wittenberg
was aboard and states that he is
the owner of the coal which will be
sold to the Nome public. Mr. Wit
tenberg has offered the coal supply
to the City of Nome for approxim
ately $24.00 per ton landed.
pn Friday morning the owners*
sent ashore a sack of this coal for
the purpose of testing its quality.
The sack was taken to the City
Clerk’s office and there used in the
heater. According to the test made
the users decided that the coal,
which was very fine, is unsuitable
for domestic purposes.
The City Council has made an in
vestigation of the entire coal situa*
tion and is perfectly aware of tha
presence of this coal and also other
coal thfat will be plbced on the
local market. It has done all that
can be done to procure cheap or
first class coal at this time. From
all appearances a large supply of
suitable coal at a lower rate than
is being charged will have to come
from other sources than at present
available.
