and the building of railroad in this section will not be very expensive.
 "The distance from the mouth of solomon river to Ruby creek is 24.6s miles, and from the same place to the junction of the Casadepaga with the Neukluk is 45.4 miles.
 "l was also surprisedat. the number ot men working in the Casadepaga country. There are at least 2.OOO. The Nasadepaga will prove to be a great mining section. and great quantities of gold will be taken from it in the years to come. There are already G5 road houses and trading stations in the oaaadepasa country. and these are all supplied from Nome. The possibilities of the intericr country are simply won. dqrful. "

ANOTHER DITCH
 TO BE BUILT
Local Men, Backed by English Capital, Will Do the Work Sometime
 Next Year.

4 ditch pro ject that means much for the development of vast areas of valu- able auriIerous deposits in this district is announced. The Nome end of the enterprise Is composed of Alex Allar- dyCe and F.. w. I'ackus, of the North ern Mining and Trading Company. Mir. Allardyct is backed by an English company, capitalized at $l.5O0. 900. The ditch has been already com menced, and force of men are at work. The ditch will be known as the London ditch. Mr. Allal ,yce says that work will be pushed this season and the ditch will be completed next year.
 The point from which the water will be taken is about a half mile below Dorothy creek on Nome river The ditch will follow the slope of the divide along the right bank of Nome river to a point on the divide between the river and Glacier creek, from which point along the main line of the auueduct water will be distributed by ditch. Hume or pipe line to such points as may be deemed necessary or desirable for mining or other purposes, for the use of the owners of the ditch or of persons who may wish to purchase water for their own enterprises.
 Five thousand miners inches of water have been appropriated by the com pany. It is expected that the ditch will be completed carly next year. Mr. Allardyce recently received a letter from his London correspondent, the following being an excerpt therefrom: "Everything is completed, and if you cannot do anything this year arrange everything for next year. Would like to hear from you in time to ship lumber and material this fall if possible"

 nation to Be Had as to the Extent or Locality of the Alleged Diggings.

According to Mrs. Tiffany, there has been two separate and distinct dis coveries of gold in the interior back from the lower Yukon. Mrs. Tiffany was the first white woman to reach Nome early 1899, and is well known here. She left Nome August 6. and went up the Yukon as far as Anvik. Here she heard of the strike up the Anvik river. She says that it is on a creek about 50 miles up. About $l2-a- day diggingS have been found. she claims. Mrs. Tiffany located II claims, but there were not people enough in that section to form mining district.
 Mrs. Tiffany reached Nome Friday night, having come down the river from Anvik to St. Michael.
 Chris Betsch. who left Nome on July 20. also went up both the Innoka and Anvik rivers. The latter river has quite swift current, she says, but the scene of the strike can be reached in
 
 few men in the country and very little grub. Among the men whom she met were Ed Baggage, Norman Mckay, George Irving, II. Ferguson and Chas. Mack. Two men named Garrity and Woodwork were met at St. Michael en.route up the Yukon to the Innoko strike.
 Mrs. Tiffany experienced a very hard trip, and for two days was almost en- tirely without food. Finally she got a tlapjack fried in seal oil.
 According to the statements made by Mrs. Tiffany, but very little gold has been taken out of either the Anvik or Innoko creeks, and very little real work has been done.
 Two men are alleged to have come to Nome few days ago and purchased a quantity of provisions and supplies. These men, whose names have not been learned, reported that number of Rampant miners had arrived at Kosorefski and had gone up the ln- nOkO

 To ask d settler on the townsite of Nome 10 thus pay for his occupancy of any portion of the same is not only petty larceny black mail, but an insult to citizen of the United States.
 l don't believe that there is citizen in Nome who does not appreciate what the city council is doing and has done for the inhabitants of the municipality, and also that no one desires to shirk from paying his just proportion for the maintenance of the city government.
 The council must also know that there is not in any other municipality on earth a higher class of intelli. .ence than that existing in our town.
 Knowing this, l doubt if the council is serious in it's contention that it has q right to assess as q tax any other prop erty than the pOssessory rights of the occupants of this town. l see they are assessing not only the building, and Improvements. but the lots or parcels of ground on which these improve ments rest. The title to the ground is in the government of the United States, and the supreme court of the United States has repeatedly held that such a tax was absolutely void.

A Big Outfit Of Horses and Supplies
 En Route on the Steamer Portland in Charge of Norman P. Smith h- Solomon River Railroad Survey.

There isro doubt that the Alaska Siberian railroad will be built A short time ago the NUGGET published q St. Paul dispatch to the effect that the great enterprise is being financed by the Ba nk of France, and that James .~J. Hill the. greatest living railroad man. is interested in the project. This information is authentic. Survey par ties, as told exclusively by the NUGGET, are in the field, and have been for some time. One party has been work ing from Iiamna bay. in the Cook inlet country, toward the Yukon. By this time probably another is working toward Cook inlet from kaltag, on the Yukon.
 , On the steamer Portland, which is expected within a few days, will be Norman R. Smith. the engineer who located the White Pass railroad. Mr. Smith is bringing with him d force of men, horses and supplies. He will start in somewhere near kaltag and erect supply stations and roadhouses on the line between kaltag and Iliamna bay, another force of men being similarly engaged on the Iliamna bay end Of.the route.
 It is also stated that the Alaska Siberian Company will;operate stage line and will carry the mail between Nome and lliamna.
 According to the information at hand the Alaskan line will run be- tween Iliamna bay or some other point .on Cook inlet,to Kaltag, and will then follow the cutoff to Unalaklik, and thence to Council City; thence north west through the Neukluk valley, fol- lowing a course north of the SawtOoth range. north of Teller, to Cape Prince of Wales.
 As stated above, portions of the sur vey in Alaskan territory are already under way, and the survey will un- doubtedly be completed next year.
 The project contemplates the build ing of branch roads, and the survey of 4 one of these has been already com pleted from the mouth of Solomon river to the mouth of the Casadepaga, where it enters the Neukluk. This survey was under the direction of George 5. ,Cantield. Mir. Canfield reached Nome Friday night. In an interview he said:
 ''The road will commence at the mouth of Solomon river, and will run up the east side of that stream and over the divide, which by the way is a very easy one, to Rover creek. From the latter point the road will follow the right bank of the Casadepaga to it's confluence with the Neukluk This is as far as the survey has been com pleted.

The republican senators decided today
not 10 set day. at least FOR the pres
Ont. FOR taking up the Nicaragua canal

hour and q half spent In caucus and
was unanimous. The caucus was called
largely because OF senator Morgans i'm
portunitles in behalf OF the bill ana an
earnest effort was made TO effect a salts
factory solution OF the problem. There
was a general exchange OF views and
many speeches were made, but after all
had been said the senators concluded
that so long as Great Brltain's attitude
toward the amendments to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty is underlined, Il would
not be Mise or eXpedlent to agitate the
question OF the construction or the pro.
posed canal Senator Allison, chairman
OF the caucus. was authorized to make

other friends OF the canal bill aud 10

conclusion was FOR the present." Uo
also stated that the question OF what
attention should be given to tho shin

Notwithstanding the formal decision TO

This Is perhaps the 9th or sixth time
that Mr.. Borden has come TO the relief

In 1892 when the New England cot

the wages cf the $4,000 or more cotton
viewers, Mr.. Borden jumped into the
breach and raised the wages OF his own
employes--several thousand-by 10 per
cent This action forced the hand of the
other mill owners. and instead OF lover
Ing wages they were obliged to Increase
them.
Even back in 1889 MIR, Borden helped
