DIR. Ernest Forbes of Cape Nome
spent last night at the Sheldon ac-
companied by his wife. He says that
Nome is now quite a city with mod
ern improvements. and is destined to
greater proportions. Many people go
there broke" said the doctor to a Her
aid reporter, land when they get away
they give out bad reports about that
country. No man can make money
when ne has no money to pay his
hoard and this class of fellows have
done Nome a great injustice. l have
seen great. strong fellows sitting on
the sidewalks crying because they were
broke and found nothing. When asked
what they had when they went there
they would say that they had some
thing like a hundred dollars. Men of
this calibre should not go there for
there is nothing there for a broke
man DR.. Forbes says many people
who have money to back them are
plenty of rich property not yet taken
up

Il am glad to see the people of FL
Paso take up the matter of organizing
a mining exchange here" said w. S.
Baker, the mining king of the San
Andreas this morning. This is the
center OF one of the richest mining !
countries in the west and ii can be
made a success. However. something
must be done to prevent taking. An
exchange was started in Chicago some
years ago and il developed that those I
who started it were the first to put :
worthless stocks on the market. They :
faxed everybody they could and then E
allowed the exchange to go under. If s
the exchange here is started by re- E
s,onsible. substantial people it could
he made a success and you will find
every legitimate mining man in the
country ready to support it."
