in some way be utilized that it may

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, July q
There is every probability that the town
will soon be under blue law regime
similar to the one inaugurated last win
ter This is expected as the result Of
the suit for libel of Aid Barry against
Mayor Parker.
The charge is made that there was n
deal on for the withdrawal of the suit.
or If the suit was not called off the
town would be closed There is no doubt
of the closing of the town for Barry has
refused to call off his fight on the mayor
and the mayor has refused to retract
what he said about Barry.
Chief Luton is expecting orders a.
once to close everything, and in case
the orders come from the mayor the
candy stores and refreshment stands are
expected to be closed on Sunday Gam
bling houses, saloons and house of Ill
fame will be shut up tight within the
limits of the law.

They're busy-I'lI call you" That is
the eXasperating sentence usually heard
on the telephone Wnen one is in a great
hurry to get the person at the other
end of the line. The man who uses the
telephone often knows that the phrase
"Ill call you" means jnothing-tF it Is
never used seriously-and after waiting a
few minutes he calls again. Sometimes
the message comes back. Still busy, or

occasionally the operator delights" the

They have different method in B :9s
ton, as a New Yorker discovered a Few
days ago. He called up business house
and was told, 1.-THE line is BUSY: ring
off, 1t was a sharp, rasping. voice, and
the New Yorker connected 1t at once
with a small cigarette smoking boy. II
don't believe they're busy at all, he
said to the people near him. "u try
Give me No 1900, please,

"How do you
"The line is busy; ring off,"
"Well, try them again, and"
1.-THE line is busy; ring Off.
There was never change in the tone,
never a word more or less, and the man
from New York saw in his minds eye
how the impertinent youngster sat re
peating over and over again the reason
destroying sentence.
After a five minues' waiting he made
another attempt to reach his friend.
A woman's voice answered and asked
the regulation question, and in few
seconds the rasping voice was heard
again. 1.-THE line is busy: ring off.
"Say! are you sure there -.
"rThe line is busy; ring off"
Then the New Yorker hung up the re-
ceiver, and when he gained the ear Of the
central office again he asked: "Canathat

Cape Nome Claims Promise Wen
and Insure Towns Perma-

Center.

SEATTLE, July Especial. )-Once more
the ice of Behring sea has cleared, per-
mttlng communication between Nome,
the city Of Arctic gold land, and Seattle,
the gateway to all Alaska and north
ern points. The first of the large fleet
OF vessels to Nome has just returned,
after Duc6ing ice for nineteen DAYS. al
one time being within thirty-five miles
of the cars domain. The steamer
reached Nome on June 1, finding shore
Ice seven feet thick and extending out
two miles which served as a wharf the
freight being hauled ashore over the ice
by wagons and drays.
The winters work in the district has
resulted in a heavy yield of treasure, and
the prospects for the short summer
season are that Nome viii yield not less
than &,500,CC0 worth Of gold While there
are no such bonanZas as in the Klondike,
yet claims are yielding well, and the
gold bearing territory is more widely dis
tributed, many supposed worthless
claims proving profitable, and all the
mining so extensive as to insure that
Nome is a permanent mining center.
The heavy travel to Nome this spring
was a surprise to all Not less than
twenty-four vessels all carrying full lists
of passengers have sailed from Seattle
for Northwestern Alaska. The former
heavy percentage of men doomed to al
most certain disappointment, not being
adapted for Alaska mining experience,
was not noticeable this year, the great
majority being strong, sturdy men,
hundreds of hardened, experienced min
ers, and many old Alaskans returning.
The first shipment Of over Sl,O0000O of
hlonGike gold has just reached Seattle,
with several millions more en- route. The
dust has been coming into Dawson at
the rate of $4,000 to $4,000 per day. The
spring cleanup is estimated at over
0J0 worth of gold, and the sum
mers output at nearly as much more.
This assures a busy season for the United
States assay office at Seattle which re-
ceived during the year 1900 bullion val
ued at SO, OBS S55.12, covered by 7,106 in
