As Great This Year ms for Two
Years Past, Says Stanley.
TACOMA, WASH.-"The gold output Of
the Nome region will be as great this year
as the combined amount exported last
year and the year preceding" said John
Stanley, an arrival on the steamer Ohio.
Mr.. Stanley until last March was United
States deputy marshal, and until a>short
time before he left was chief of the Nome
fire company. He is, connected with the
Trans Alaska company and has had
charge Of several stations along the line
of which it was proposed to carry mail
across the country to Nome. He says he
feels confident that the Trans Alaska
railway will be built from Ilamna bay to
Port Clarence shay, distance Of about 800
miles. E- y ....
The Kuskokwimf diggings in the country
south of the lower Yukon, Mr.. Stanley
says. are proving rich, but those on the
Koyukuk are not coming up to expecta-
tions. Nome will soon be supplied with
plenty of water for mining purposes by
the system Of canals now under construc-
ton. This will greatly facilitate mining
operations and will have the effect Of
increasing the yield of the claims.
Mr.. Stanley was mayor of Skaguay after
the notorious regime of ''Soapy" Smith
When the Nome excitement broke out he
left that place for the new camp.

oppose Cummins' views on the tariff and
will stand for the. same tariff plank In the
platform that is advocated by the leaders OF
