BuRlEY WlMS A
 HARD CONTEST
Carr Shows Great Improvement and Is Out With a Challenge for
 Fight, With a Side Bet.

The contest between Nick Burley and Curly Carr at the Standard theatre last Saturday night drew d packed house, the fighters dividing Sl,-O0 be- tween them. It was undoubtedly the most exciting fight that has taken place in Nome. There were kidney blows, crOsscounterS, uppercuts and body anu face punches galore: in fact, there was displayed everything known in the business and few extras. The men were 50 ansered with each other that twice during the evening the chief of police had to assist lne referee in separating them during ciinch. and on one occasion, during a cllnch, they spat in each others face. Burley was probably landed the largest dose.
 During the first two rounds It looked easy for Buriey, although Carr Was blocking nearly every blow. After the second round Carr seemed to worry Burley a great deal, landing several stllt punches in the face. and at the call or time for the tenth round Carr Was in the lead and Burley showing signs of weakness. During the remain ing rounds Burley succeeded ill land ing several hard kidney blows, which caused Carr some pain. The end came in the twenty -nt,h round, when Carr wa, sent to the floor With q lett jolt on the chin. Although not knocked out, he could not regain his feet in time to save himself.
 Burley's assistants were Gleason. Maxwell and Hannigan, while Carr had Gallagher and Carroll.
 L Ed 0 Donuell was chosen referee and Bert DOvner official tlmekeeper.

JIM BEASLEY'S
 SECOND CHECK
Was Cashed At the Nome Post Off, flee By the Late Postmaster
 Joseph ii. Wright.

The story of Jim Beasley's forgery of a government check for S3S00, as told exclusively in the NUGGET. created q great deal of surprise about town, es- pecially among those who were acquainted with him. It was known that two blank checks were stolen from Frank Greens office at St. Michael, one of which, No. 2399, was cashed at the Bank of Cape Nome. This led to the natural inquiry, "Who cashed No. 24OO ?" The NUGGET can answer that question. It was cashed III the ordin- ary course of business by F. H. Hum ber &s Co.,, who have offices in the Kim ball building, on August l6, about two hours before Beasley and wife took passage ou the St. Paul for San Fran cisco.
 R. H. Humber, in turn, cashed the check at the postotfice, and it was hy che postmaster forwarded to Seattle, where he was duly credited with the amount. This check was also for $3eO0. . The Nome postmaster has instructions to cash any government checks that may be presented, provided he has the funds, and he is not expected to be familiar with the signatures of the gov ernment disbursing officerr, wse. issue them.
 Ex.POstmaSter Wright says that the forged draft appeared perfect in every respect, with the exception that it bore after Beasley's endorsement, Burns X Beasley, by J. c. Beasley. one of the firm He felt inclined to refuse it, simply because he knew of no partner ship existing between Burns and BeAs- ley. This check reached San Fran. cisco three da ys behind of No. 2400, and it was only on receipt of the latter that the forgeries were discovered.

ShaE AS KL0NDIkE
Rich Benches Beir. Found in Both Sections Men Rocking Out Better Than Wages, With No Bedrock in S!ght-Gar'ield Benches.

The "white channel" characteristic of the bench claims in the klOndike country has been discovered in this section of Alaska. up in the Blue stone country. on a group of claims owned by the BluestOne Mining Com pany, which are being developed. J. A. Jacoby, who came down few days ago from Gold Run. where the mines are located, says that the wash is identical with the white wash found in the klonGike hills, and he is of the belief that an old river channel has been struck. Beneath few feet of muck on the surface l2 feet of solid blue ice was encountered, and passing through this wash gravel was found.
 A similar wash has been found on Dahl creek bench, opposite Jerry Galvin's claim, according to w. Barnes, who came down from the kougarok on Sunday night. The bench is owned by William Ebeling. He has stripped portion of the claim for distance of 300 feet in length and p or 30 feet in width. Bedrock has nowhere been found yet, and with a rocker he is taking out better than wages. Mir. Barnes looks for big re- suits from the benches in that neigh bOrhood.
 There are probably 300 men left in the-district, and, says Mr. Basnes. it is no use disgusting the fact that many of them are broke, as only in few instances have any of the claims pro- duced money. 4 notable exception is Jerry Galvin's claim, No. 1 Dahl. Calvin has eight feet of pay. which runs from , cents to $G to the pan. and the width of the paystreak has not been determined. but it has been located for distance of 80 feet or more. Calvin Is working more men than ever be- fore. No. }. owned by Olsen and Yar- nall, is equally good.
 Boulder creek is sustaining it's record. On No. ,, the claim recently bought by Dan Campbell and others, the last cleanup, just before Nlr. Barnes left, averaged sl00 per day to the man. A numbtr of holes lave been sunk by thawing machines at the upper end of the claim. a distance of B feet in width, and heavy, coarse gold has been found in all Tom Utigard is doing pretty nearly as well on No. 3. Sieffert Brothers X Gibson, who recently bought the upper half of No. and A, will put in thawing machines this winter, and a number of drawers will also be at work on other claims. Miles McNally recently bought three inter- es,s on Boulder.
 Men who abandonded claims on Gar field are going back in the belief that the paystroak will be found elsewhere than in the present creek bed.
 Pay ha, been found on Windy and Eu- reka creeks but little work has been done.

BISHOP GAMBLER ON HIGHER
CRITICISM AND RITUALISM.
Southern Methodist Ministers Hear
Pointed Remarks From the Man

be held next month at Fredericktown. No..

preston. The Bishop stated that every
thing thus far indicated a decided advance
in Southern Methodism for the year. If

Washington. Aug. 26.-The last issue Of
the weekly publication Of the Marine Hos
pital Service contains a number Of reports
concerning the prevalence Of plague in the
vicinity Of Canton. China. most of which
arc made by missionaries and American
physicians connected with hospitals In Can
ton and neighboring cities.
The reports agree that the disease il
epidemic in only a few places in Canton.
but that 1t Is widespread throughout the
Province Of Kwang-Tung. One missionary
says II Is much more general than In years
past. and that instead Of being confined
to a few large centers. 1t Is heard of in
Villages as well as In market towns and
cities"
Another reports that the plague travels
along the great trade routes, and he says
that at present: W find the plague from
