I ~nnty four depositors from Cape Nome
turned in S25, 900 worth of dust on the
18th. Until spring opens there will be
no more heavy receipts of dust from the
north; but it seems probable that another
summer, with Nome, York and Klondike
all shipping out the winters output,
the gold receipts at the Seattle assay office
will more than double the figures of 1899.
Two more storm tossed craft have ar
rived from Cape Nome-small schooners
which left Nome Oct. 16th-the Nellie
F. Bayard, 80. The former was owned
by the Clatlin Bros. both of whom died
at Nome after having carried their cas-
kets north with them. One committed
suicide and the other died of fever. Both
schooners encountered storms all the way
home. The Coleman was thrown on her
side, the ballast shifting, and a fortunate
toss in the opposite direction alone saved
her and her - passengers. She lost her jib-
boom, foretopmast and several sails, and
four boats were smashed and swept away,
All the passengers had Nome gold, aver
aging about 500 each
The Bayard had ten OF fifteen passen-
gers from Golovin bay, all of whom speak
well OF that district, claiming that the
various creeks are rich. They report that
80. below discovery on Sweetcake yield
ed 50, 600 during the past season. Four
men dug $40 from Elkholn in day, and
Melsin2 produced nuggets valued at SO
and ~12 5. Z. King washed four ounces
in seven hours from bis Crooked Creek

Wash Day Points.

A very hot iron should never be used
for flannels or woolens.
Calicoes, ginghams and chintzes should
be ironed on the wrong side.
Clotheslnes are made much more dur
able by boiling for ten minutes before they
are used.
Table linen should be ironed when quite
damp and ironed with very hot and very
heavy iron.
Embroideries should be ironed on a
thin, smooth surface over thick flannel,
and only on the wrong side.
Linen may be made beautifully white
by the use of a little refined borax in the
water instead of using a washing fluid.
Wash fabrics that are inclined to fade
should be soaked and rinsed in very salt
water, to set the color, before washing in
the suds.
Silken fabrics, especially white silk
handkerchiefs, should not be dampened,
but ironed with moderately warm iron
when taken from the line.
Irons should not be allowed to become
red hot, as they will never retain the heat
properly afterward.
