4 Big Stock of Lumber.

Mr.. l.. E. Tanner, the well known member of the firm Of Tanner & Clark returned 10 Nome on the steamer Ore gen from a nasty bushes trip to Seattle and other points on the Sound. During the brief tune he was in Seattle he ac- ,omp.lShcd several important items of nu,Iuess, one part of which was the purchase of Id0. GOO feet of lumber to fill ln possible shortages that may occur during the closed season.
 He says that from the time he struck the " hurl in seattle until the steamer Wl.ed out for Nome he Was about a~ busy a- man could he found and eXper- iruced great difficulty in getting the G.~ red quantity of lumber in time to make the round trip on the Oregon. bat by manipulating the wires pretty freely he secured the entire output of tac B.akely mills for 2l hours. notwlth- rl.u8iuL there were vessels leading aJ the mills at the time.
 NuGlhe deal cOnsummated that had been contemplated by the firm was the purchase of d sawmill and tract of timber land on the main line of the x. |. R. E. near Seattle. It is Mr. Tan ucr' :, intention tO return to Seattle on the Ohio and operate their mill to its DI,c~t capacity in order to get stock cut and seasoned Ter next years business. I'm, i- matter of considerable impor- tuuoe to the mining interests of this district. The cost of lumber heretofore i.1- r",aldcd the opening of ground re- curing it Use in large quantities for ljIr- aud heavy timheriug and Tan ucr 2, Clark now state that they will be in position to cell lumber here in Nome next season at To per cent less tuau their stock cost landed on the beach during the past two years.
 Since Mr. Tanners return they have made contracts for nearly one million feet ot lumber to he used by several of tIc larger mining companies in the con -trucjiuu of fumes and other work. This lumber will be brought to Nome hy ,chooners in the first feet to arrive in the spring. Thi, will be in addition tu the requirement, of their regular business. During AIr. Tanners absence Alr W. A, Clark purchased the water front property formerly owned by the oid ,. !. I. Co.,, opposite their mil and yard. Thi, property will be greatly improved in the early spring by the construction of q substantial bulk head with slip, and track to facilitate the speedy handling of their lumber made necessary by the uncertainty of the surf on the beach. They will put the paral- lcl traces from the beach to Second -rcCt, the entire length of the yard. Tanner X Clark state they now have in their yard more lumber than has ever before been seen in one yard in any part of Alaska and have at the present time the largest stock of lumber north of Vancouver.
