TRAILS ARE HEAVY

There are probably l50 men on Homestakc. D,ck creek and the kou- .aruk river, in Kougarok district this winter.
 This is the statement made by John G. Smith, of Hastings creek, who reached Nome yesterday afternoon from Mary, I2loo,
 The recent snow storms have rem mushers are StOlm-bound at road houses along the trail. There are from one to two feet of snow on Nome river, but when Mr. Smith left Marv's lgloo on Monday there was but little snow in the KougarOk section. MT. Smith met 20 teams on the trail bound for Kou- garol1 and the Arctic. He left Nome on Nov. 10 for Mary's Igloo, and in Grand Central pass he met Kougarok Bob, Low Water Bill. Halt Interest Aleck and ten others. heuded for Nome after supplies. Seeing Smith had no provisions with him they asked him the reason.
 "The merchants of Nome have gone on strike" said Smith. "and I can get what I want cheaper at Mary's IgloO than l can in Nome." Whereat, says Smith, the entire party. each of turned back and went to Mary's Igloo and made their purchases instead of

 The people of the Kougarok are happy and confident over the outlook for their section. A contract has been let for 300 cords of wood for various claims on Dahl creek and the contract ors are buslly engaged in hauling. A good deal of work is under way on Nos. l, and 3 Dahl, besides on number Of adjoining benches.
 Quite d number of men are going into the Good Hope section where good pay was undoubtedly found last season, and others are going to Harris and Garfield creeks to do prospecting and assessment work. and still other mush- CTS are bound for the Inmachuk. Judge Gunderson, of Mafy'S lgloO, who has been critically ill of pneu- monia is recovering, but he is still con fined to his bed.

Local merchants as rule state that Business is bevter than at this time last year. Collections are also much easier.
 This is due in part to the fact that better prices are being obtained than last year. And yet prlces are not so high after all," said Judge Crane yes terday.

 Subsequently Sullivan gave a half in terest in the claim to Al. Zwicker for BIO, and he sold quarter interest to Jack Cooper for Sl5, and the remaining quarter to Mike Hannon for two bot ties of whisky. Sullivan thoug ht the draw was good only for grass.
 Last summer Sullivan went to work on the 0 sullivan claim. but he quit at the end of the first day. He said he couldn't stand it longer. The gold sticking to his shovel was too much for him, because it reminded him of what he might have had.

HOW IT COT
 ITS NAME
Grass Gulch and It's
 Eventful History.
Ore of the Richest Claims in this Section Was Sold for $25 and
 Two Bottles of Whisky.

Everybody in Nome, or Northwestern Alaska, for that matter, has heard of Grass oulcb. sometimes called the left fork of Dexter creek. On this gulch is situated the phenomenally rich claim owned by O'Sullivan and others. This gulch, like many other creeks in this section, received it's name in peculiar manner. and the rich O'Sullivan claim has strange history.
 Along about the first of January, 1899. when there were but few white men in Nome, Bill Sullivan and Bill Cunning ham went out to Dexter creek to see if they could get onto some vacant ground.
 They came to the "draw" now called Grass gulch and Sullivan said he would stake it..
 Its no good," said Cunningham, and the two men continued their explOra- tions. They found nothing open to loca- tion, and on their return to the draw"

CALIFORNIA AND IT'S ATTRAC-

CALIFORNIA AND IT'S ATTRAC-
TIONS.
The great State of California offers
more delightful attractions for the av-
erage winter tourist than any other
section of the United States. At a
time when the North and East is
garbed in it's usual winter mantle,
Southern California is clothed in sun
shine fruit and flowers. The new
coast line of the Southern Pacific
Sunset route, extending from Los An
geles to San Francisco, offers one Of
the most alluring opportunities for a
journey possible, even in Golden Cali
fornia. Los Angeles and vicinity con-
tain many of the most attractive feat
ures of California which, with a su-
perb climate, to be appreciated must
be experienced. Surf bathing in the
Pacific ocean, golfing at Monterey,
deep sea fishing at Catalina and a
score of other attractions provide a
most pleasant method of enjoyment,
making the winter months dream
of comfort and delight. The Southern
Pacific-Sunset route out of New Or
leans operates daily vestbule service
to Pacific points. For literature and
