Ice and snow on the southern end of
the Nome district are still proving
troublesome and preventing anything
like satisfactory work. j. W. Wright, a
miner just returned from the Solomon
river country, reports that he went
with we'll equipped party to do extern
sive prospecting work on several OF the
tributaries of Solomon river, but had
to turn back on account of the ice and
snow, which were found too deep to do
anything with. At one place they
walked over forty feet of snow and a
glacier fully a mile in length.
That John j. Healey will build rail-
road from Valdez to Eagle City in the
very near future seems now to be a
certainty. J. D. Carroll, prominent
mining man of the middle west, resid-
ing at st. Paul, and who has just re-
turned to Seattle from long visit to
Valdez and Yakutat, claims he has had
tip from Capt. HeaIey that the rail
road is sure thing.

GA. Thorp, the senior member of
the firm of o. A. Thorp & Co., of Chica-
90, importers of fish foods from Nor
way and Sweden, who.recently return
ed to the States from Alaska, says: II
am q native of Norway and consequent
Iy familiar with the conditions prevail
ing there, and the wants of its people.
1 have just completed thorough in
vestigation of Southeastern Alaska and
have secured all the data possible con-
corning the interior and the nature OF
the soil in the valleys of the great Alas
kan rivers. l am free to say that L
deem the possibilities of Alaska equal
to those of any Northern country so far
as the agricultural resources are con-
cerned, and the people of Norway and
Sweden would find themselves in their
native cline. During the summer it
would be possible for them to raise all
of the harder grains, and in the winter
months and the early spring they could
turn their attention to fishing"
James D. Hoge, Jr.. formerly proprie-
tor of the Seattle P.,I., says: sin spite
of the many hard luck stories one hears
from the returning emigrants to Nome
and vicinity, am strongly of the opin-
ion that the Nome country is all right.
The trouble is it has been greatly over
done. The average man expected too
much. A great deal has to be put up
with: the Iateness of the season, claim
jumpers, and too much litigation gen.
orally. The camp impressed me as be-
ing on much more substantial bust
ness basis this year as compared with
last. Prices are down and the average
merchant is content with more reason
able profits. About FIVE to six million
dollars in gold will be shipped out from
Nome this season.
The Skagway Alaskan says that Geo.
II. Pulham, superintendent of the win
ter service of the W. P. & Y. mail route,
who so successfully managed the sys-
tenn for the G. D. Co. last winter, arriv-
ed on the train from White Horse the
other morning and left the same night
for the south to purchase 100 head of
horses and otherwise make prepare
tions for next winter. He said yester-
day that the company would operate
one mail stage a week and as many
more as the traffic warrants.
A party of moving picture operators,
and eastern newspaper men and artists
were in the vicinity last week gathering
material for a lecture on "Greater Alas
ka and the Klondike," says the White
Horse Star. 1t was their original in
tention to stay just between two trains
and boats, but they found the territory
too rich in material of historical and
scenic interests to cut their time down
to the limit set.

AN INTERNAL. REMEDY
A Pleasant Tasting Tablet; Simple, Con-
venient; Cures Every Form of Catarrh.

The use of inha1ers, douches, sprays.
salves and powders for catarrh is a
nuisance and inconvenience at the best
and cannot compare with antiseptic
remedies in tablet form for internal
use.
Internal remedies are the only ones
which can really reach the seat of the.
disease which is in the blood and local
applications can no more cure catarrn
than rheumatism or kidney trouble the
excessive secretion in nose and throat
being local manifestations of a deep
seated poison in the blood
Stuart'S 'Catarrh Tablets, the most
successful of the various internal rem
edies, is composed principally of highly
concentrated antiseptics, which destroy
the catarrh germs in the blood and
causes them to be eliminated through
the natural channels.
Progressive physicians use and advise
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, because they
contain no cocaine, no opiate, no ener-
waiting drug whatever. but are com
posed of Guaiacol, Hydrastin Red Gum
and similar catarrh antiseptics and
are safe and pleasant that even lit
tie children may use them with excel
lent results.
CatarTh sufferers who have wasted
time and money on local applications
should not despair of a radical cure
until a trial of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
has been made.
A complete treatment may be pur-
shaSed st any drug store for 30 cents.

GAVE HIMSELF UP.
Missing Bank Messenger Surrenders
to Police.

New York, Oct 19.-George Armitage,
the missing messenger of the Bank of
New Amsterdam, walked into the Ten
derloin police station today and gave
himself I'D. He declined to make any
statement as to the missing funds of the
bank, amounting to $1,000.
Armitage was fashionably dressed and
did not seem disturbed by his position
The detectives tried to get him to make
a statement, but he declined to discuss
his case.
It's no use sergeant he said. ''Yo on
can't pump me. / have decided to say
nothing until I see my lawyer and may
be 1 won't say anything then"
Armitage only had $31. so on him when
arrested. He was the messenger for the
Bank of New Amsterdam and after he
disappeared drafts and collections rep
resenting many thousands of dollars
were returned to the bank by mys-
FERROUS colored woman not yet
found by the police. This incident gave
rise to a theory of foul play, which the
police later discredited. Armitage's
accounts, according to the bank officials,
show a shortage of $500, which sum
is covered by a fidelity bond.

BARBER co. LEAVES.
City May Have Trouble About
Repairs.

The city officials believe that the
Barber Asphalt Pavement company is
trying to get the best of them on the
pavement repair proposition. H w.
Buckley, who has been in charge of
the repairs in Topeka, has gone to
Leavenworth and taken all his repair
outfit with him.
The Barber Asphalt company is un-
der $4,000 bond to fulfill it's contract
with the city. Furthermore, the city
still owes the company $1,000 on the
work which the company has done. 1t
looks as though the city was pretty
we'll protected for a conflict with the
pavement company, if a conflict can
not be averted.
The pavement company has made
very fair promises in regard to its work
and has at all times manifested a dis
position to fulfill it's contract to the let
ter. The fact remains, however, that
it has left town. and its work here is
still incomplete. West Eighth avenue is
in very bad condition, and the city
will fight the company rather than pay
for the work until it is completed ac-
