But No Damage Was Done
 By the Raiders.
ON ANVIL GREEK
Controversy Over . Rich Bench Ad- joining Specimen Oulch Leads to a
 Fruitless Display of Force Raidini
 Party Consisted of Seven Men.

Last Thursday, about F o'clock, seven men, some of them armed, 1t Is alleged, attempted to take possession of bench claim No. below Specimen gulch.
 The claim is owned by Dr. A. N. Kit. telsen and Dr. A. k. Southward, and is being worked by Southwsrd. De Font vile & Larimore. A tunnel some 25O feet long has been run from the rim, and only few days ago big body of pay dirt was located. This dirt is said to be exceedingly rich, as much as $40 to the pan having been found. The NUGGET, however, does not vouch for the truth of the latter statement.
 On Wednesday, about noon, the seven men referred to went to the claim and demanded possession. Of course they were refused. No violence other than some loud talking was indulged in, and the men decided to begin work on their own account, so they began sinking a hole near the mess house. After two honrs' work they desisted and left the claim to which they have not since re- turned.
 A messenger was sent to town, and the district attorneys office was noti- fled. No action was taken, however, in view of the fact that the raiders had left.
 This bench is claimed, it is said, by a man named McDougall, and he was one of the party, as was also a. man named Jack Dawson.

ASSAULTED
 NEAR HER HOME
frs. Ike Powers Has a Thrilling Ex- perience With Thug Struck
 With a Sandbag.

Mrs. Carrie Powers. wife of Ike Powers, the well known pioneer, was knocked down near her home on Tues day evening about s:3O o'clock. Mrs. Powers had just stepped outside the door, when she was approached by a dark-compeXoned man, who struck her across the back of the neck, prob ably with a sandbag, felling her and rendering her partially unconscious. Then he grasped her by the shoulders and examined her neck, as if feeling for jewelry or papers. Suddenly 1t seemed as if he realized that he had made a mistake; the man threw up his hands as if astonished and then fled. Mrs. Powers thinks that as he started to run he must have struck her with his feet, probably accidentally, as her body was bruised in several places, both from the fall and from having been kicked. No attempt was made to rob her of the jewelry which she wore. In the house were MT. Powers and Miss McMahan. Mrs. Powers thinks she cried out when struck, but the shock was so sudden that she scarcely remembers. It was fully ten minutes before she was found by Mr. Powers, who had become alarmed at her ab- seuce. Mrs. Powers is now rapidly re- covering from the shock and fright.

Candle is not the only creek adown

Candle is not the only creek adown which run golden sands, according to the statement of o. A. Lundberg, who reached Nome from Dome creek on Tuesday night. Mr. Lundberg left Candle City on Nov. Is, coming ty way of Good Hope, thence to the Kougarok, and on to Mary's Isloo and Teller. He left Candle with one reindeer. and at Teller he bought two more and came to Nome. Bitterly cold weather was experienced in crossing the divide. He had with him only a small tent and two pairs of blankets, and one night the cold was so intense that he dare not go to sleep: so he fed stove on willows all through the night.
 MT. Lundberg was on Candle creek before peg was driven on the creek, but he did not stake. He says that it never occurred to him to prospect the creek bed in deep water, where the rich sands are fOlnd. He sank hole
 
 was not impressed with the outlook. A short time later, after the discovery had been made, his partner one morn ing before breakfast got s13 from one pan taken from the creek bed. He has seen pans running as high as $26. and he states that Sl to the pan can be found almost anywhere in the creek bed from the head to the mouth. Mir. Lundberg is interested in the Arctic Mining Company. which owns a number of promising claims in that section. The new creeks which are promising are: Dome, 23 miles above Candle; Glacier, p miles; Eldorado, 30 miles above. Dome, Glacier and Gold Run creeks are in well timbered country, mostly spruce and cottonwood. the Keewalik river being lined for a few hundred feet on either side with a dense growth of willows.
 On Dome creek there are dozen cabins, and scattered along the river in the timbered district are 30 or 10 more. Bear creek, q tributary of the Buckland, about D miles up that stream, is attracting some attention, and miner, J. German, told Ntr. Lundberg that he had found excellent prospects on that creek.

 Candle City has a population of be- tween POO and 300 people; the dwellings are made up of dugouts, frame build ings, tents and log cabins.
 Provisions were plentiful when he left, but if there should be much of . stampede in that direction grub will be scarce. Bacon sells at 50 cents . pound; milk, Sl . can; butter. el . pound; and other staples proportion ately.
 Considerable prospecting is being done on all the different creeks and the outlook is that good pay will be un- covered. Bench prospecting is also be- ] ing prosecuted and the indications are favorable.
 The mercury at Mary's lgloo dropped 1 to 42 below on November 26. A good many mushers are making their way into the Keewalik country. MT. Lund- berg met Jim Mckay and Hugh Mad den at Mary's Igloo on November 26, en route to Candle City. Their horse and dog teams had not reached that place. Mir. Lundberg and N. J. Veline
