GAMBLING AT NOME
Harry Ramsey of Phenix Tells of
 Sports in Alaskan Town.

Harry Ramsey, former well known resident of Phoenix, has made a strike in the Alaskan gold regions and has not resorted to pick and shovel Writ ing to J. R. Humhreys in this city, under date of Nome, June 23, he says:
 "I suppose you will be glad to hear of my safe arrival and also that I am in a fair way of making money. I am with Dick Dawson, he has the greatest house, believe, in the world. He takes in over tile bar $1,000 a shift. The gambling is wonderful. I would like to give you good account of the town, but don't know how to express my self. Everything is gold, money and dogs. Most of the hauling is done by dogs. Ours would be worth a thousand a piece if they were here. It is always day here. Carpenters and painters work all night You can't tell night from day. l get $20 day and 271s per cent of the craps. Craps is the greatest game here Everybody is crazy to play it.. While I am writing this there is one man in the Klondike game 5000. He just beat the crap game for $500 in two shots. The crap game is worth from $500 to $1, LOGO a shift.

Two mil lion dollars worth of treasury stock will be placed on the market at 25 cents per share, and all money raised will be expended In developme mt work on the most favorable prospects. The advancement of the mining interests of our county have been slow owing to lack of capital to develop. The mines being owned by prospectors who, while willing to back their faith in their claims by their labor have not the means to develop as rapidly as the indications justify. and promising pros poets that few thousand dollars might make into valuable mines thus lie dormant for years, and the aims and objects of this company are to hasten the development of this section.

FEW VISIT THE RESERVOIR
Drouth Has Stopped Pleasure Trips
 to Canal Head.


 A trip to the headwaters of the Ari- zona canal and a few days spent camp ing in the vicinity of the big dam and reservoir is usually about as pleasant an excursion as Phoenician could de- sire, but the drouth has given differ ent aspect to such an expedition. and has made the dam almost taboed resort.
 Like all other roads in this country now, the old Fort Mcdowell trail is in very bad condition. and the journey back and forth is almost hardship. There are no fish of any size left, unless one goes seven miles up the Verde where there are. still several. pools in which good catches may -be--nade There is no place for bathing and the only redeeming feature is the chance for a shot at big game. The drouth- has dried all the water in the hills and every night the deer come down around

the dam for water. The deer, though, are in poor condition and their meat not as good as usual. Several have been shot fromthe river, above the res ervoir..
 As is well known, the water supply is gradually growing less and at the present time there is a flow of only about S.7OO inches. and about 1900 inches of this is cut off into the Indian and the Tempe ditches.
 The smaller dredge has reached a point short distance west of Scottdale, but can make little progress until a rain raises the flow. The big dredge is just above the cutt-off, where the electric plant is to be placed.

ties He is at present sheriff of Nicollet
county and a member of the firm of
Block & Sackett, fire insurance agents,
which is one of the largest agencies in
Southern Minnesota.
In 1894 Mr. Block was a candidate
for the Republican nomination for state
treasurer, but was defeated in the con-
vention by A. T. Koerner, the present
incumbent of the Office. 1t should be
added that Mr.. Block at once sank his
personal ambitions in his work for the
successful candidate, and the entire
ticket, and, as is well known, he has
been tower of strength to the party
in the state. His recent nomination
for the Office Of state treasurer by &C
clamation and rising vote was de-
served tribute to his worth and loyalty.
Mr.. Blocks career furnishes strik-
ing example of young mans political
possibilities in this country. But few
years ago he was poor farmer boy,
unknown and without t'backing." By
his own unaided efforts, coupled with
his indomitable pluck, determination
and ability, he has risen to conspicu-
GUS position, as the nominee of the
party for one of the most important
Offices in the state.

The dominant note of the Republican

nesota on platform of unquestioned
strength and point with pride to a
record of 40 years of control Of public
affairs in this state.
The principles adopted by the Repub-
ican national convention at Philadel-
phia are endorsed and the admin1stra-
ton Of President Mckinley heartily
approved. That the promises Of the
party made in 1896 have been carried
out is proven by the high state Of pros
perity enjoyed by all as compared with
the business stagnation existing when
the present administration secured the
reins of power. <
The adoption of the gold standard
law is approved and the sound financial
policy of the party is credited with hav-
ing contributed largely to the present
prosperity.
The bravery and patriotism of our
soldiers and sailors in the war with
Spain is commended and fair and lib
eral administration of the pension laws
in behalf of the widows and orphans Of
those who fell in that war is favored.
The platform declares an unalterable
opposition to all trusts and combina-
tions having for their purpose the
sitting of competition arbitrarily con-
trolling production and fixing prices,
and condemns the Democrats for the
defeat of the constitutional amendment
for regulation of the trust evil during
the last session of congress.
Liberal legislation for the national de-
Tense and for the upbuilding Of our
navy is favored; also the proposed sub
sidy bill for the aid of our merchant
marine and the enlargement of our
foreign markets.
The record of the Republican party
as the friend and champion Of labor is
referred to and a pledge made to use
all legitimate means to secure the pas
sage of legislation making eight hours
the legal working day on all public
works.
Coming down to state affairs the
platform expresses confidence in Sena-
tor Knute Nelson and recommends his
reelection by the incoming legislature.
The speedy passage of legislation
now pending in congress to prevent the
sale Of oleomargarine is favored and
