A j. Glass, a w'll-knoVu yoing man who operated in this section in 1899 and 1900, is now located in the Kougarok He went there in the winter of l9G0 and is evidently well satisfied. as he expresses his intention of staying by that country. In d personal letter to an oid-timc partner h. ,a!,:
 My candid opinion of lhi, section f., that it will prov sood and cyentuany be permnncu, camp although il is very slow in development.
 At the mouth of Arctic creek. on the upper kouEarok, four men are ,luicing. They have some very good ground tha; will run S,o to the -hoyeL
 On Arizona creek. one and q half miles below. five men are working They have found pay, but Jl,t how much'I do not know.
 "Some six mle, above here a party of five are opening upa bench claim on the right limit. and are taking cut from Sij to 23j ptr day. The, are working Wi,h rockers.

 Il have seen some gold from Colum- hia creek, T. miles up river; it i, quite coarse, and the men there are evidently doing well.
 "Neva creek is iG miles below here: there are only six men working on the creek, but they are doing well. have banned as high as >5 5cents there myself.
 With the oNccr,ion of two outfits that have latel$ gone on Windy creek and two that are now operating between Coarse Gold and Arizona creeks. all the other men in thc vicinity are prospect ing. By this mean. new ground will be proved up and the req! value of the kougarok will be established. | lock forward to very pro>perou, fall. In all probability shall spend tine winter at Mary's igloo.

Solomon River Notes.

II. r.. smith was in town yesterday from discovery claim on Solomon river, where he is working a dredge. Mir. Smith has been on Solomon for the past two seasons and is doing better than ever before. He is this year making some money.
 The Hurrah quartz claim, owned by Mir. c. D. Lane is showing up better every day, as work progresses. Devel- opment work is being steadily prose cuted, and the outlook for permanent mil is eXcellent.'
 Robert Bruce. who has quartz claim directly opposite the Hurrah, is also beginning development work.
 Iis Hurrah is producing lots of gold, and so are Kassen and Rock creeks.
 One fact which proves that gold is being taken out of the Solomon river section is that the workers all have dust, and chechako money is rarely seen.
 The town of Solomon, near the mouth of the river, is quite lively, and good deal of business is transacted there.

EVERY CLAIM WORK INc
Dexter Creek Presents a Busy Scene These Days, Some 200 Men Being Employed
 in That SeCtiOn

For the first time in the history of Dexter creek, every claim on the creek ia being worked. This is due to the fAet that water from the Miocene Ditch Company Is being nsed. As told eX- causively in Saturdays NUGGET water from Glacier and Banner creeks was turned into the Dexter ditch on Tues dsy last. The ditch is a great success visited Dexter the other day the ditch wAs bank full and men were busy on all the claims.
 Superintendent Leland, of the Miocne Company, is well satisfied with the work already accomplished. He is a firm believer in the mining future of this section from hydraulicing stand point. He is a practical miner and knows all about ditches and fumes, having been engaged all his life in hydraulic mining in California. Mir. Leland believes that this is q better mining section than any that California can offer.
 ''Show me better mining country than this and will go there, he says. briefly, when asked what he thinks of the future outlook,
 This means that he knows of no min ing country like this, and he is in close touch with mining in all countries.
 The bringing of water to the creek, sud benches of the Nome section means sn entire transformation of the face of the country, as has already been pointed 0ut in various articles which have ap- Peared in THE NUGGET. One will not have to wait very lon. to See this pre- diction verified.
 On No. Grass gulch, at the head of the left fork of Dexter, O Sullivan & Wilkeps are hydraulicing. They have . fine claim and are taking out lots of ! gold. Indeed, it is said that this claim

.ind Us Immense Coal
 Deposits.
\. Y. Wight Talks About the Necessity of Landmarks to
 Guide the Mariner.

Ipat Cape Lieburno are coal deposits .uhicjent to last Alaska and the people lwLo u,ay live in it fora thousand years. Ard 'ke coal i, Of excellent quality. This !, tho statement made by A. w. Wright, who with Mrs Wright re- turned Mondal froG q trip north oc, the Corwn a> the guest, ofCaptain and Mrs, West. The trip was a delightful one and Captain and Mrs. West left nothing uudonc for the comfortoi thei guests.
 Mr. Wright thinks that the coal mines of Cape Li,burne will solve the question of cheap fuel for Nome and this section, and that another year will see coal sold in Nome at SIG or SIP q ten.
 Ar. Wright also points to the absolute lack of light houses or other landmarks to serve as guides to the mariner. From north of the Aleutian islands to Point Barrow there i> not landmark to distinguish one portion of the coast line from another. All the capes, points and headlands much resemble each ether. and it take, an experienced >eaman to get hi, bearings. \ moder- ate outlay would enable landmarks to be placed at points where they are most needed, and serve to warp the navigator of dangers to be summed. Speaking of the northern section, Mir. Wright says that York is deserted. Four or five people came down from that place to Teller. one of them with l,J0O pounds of tin ore. At Cape Lis burne during storm which ragged 10O tons of coal, which the Corwin pro. posed to bring to Nome, were lost. Candle creek has has been a disap- pointment, partially to lack of effort on the part of peeople to develop their claims. The creek claims are shallow and are soon worked out. Yet nothing has been done to develop the benches.
 A heavy rain recently washed out every dam on the creek, and 20 men boarded the COrwin at keewalik and came to Nome.

Co. as managers of the PIcifi' Coast Steamship Comnany and to install an other local agent, ana the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, once potential corporation on this coast. will, for all practical purposes go out of ex s,ence -on Sept. l5.
 The Pacific Coast Steamship Com pany was organized by Goodall, Perkins & Co. and their associates, and all of the stock was owned here. and thi, hn, always been its principal place of busi ness.
 When Henry Willard was in control of the Northern Pacific and inauguruted his gigantic scheme of development in the Northwest he bought up the Oregon Steamship Company and reorganiLed it under the name of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. He then organized the Oregon Improvement Company to handle the lands and oI4 n up the mines of the Northern Pacific He owned the Seattle Coal and Trans portation Company's railroad running out to the colliery at Newcastle and the Columbia and Puget Sound rail- road to the Franklin mines. lie also bought out four colliers, the Umatilla, Walla Walla, Willamette and Mis.is- sippi to carry coal to this city
 The Pacific Coast Company is an Eastern corporation. with headquarters in New York. It own, the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, the Pacific Coast Railway Company. the Columbia and Puget Sound railroad, the Port Townsend Southern railroad and the Franklin, Lawson and Newcastle mines. It operates steamers on different route, along the coast from Nome to Mazatlan and has small fleet of passenger beats on Puget Sound.
 And thus the company that once dis puted the coast trade with the Northern Pacific practically goes out of business.

J. J. HILL Ik CON TR()l,,
A Pioneer Firm of Shipping Men Forced 0n of the Management of the Pacific Coast Steam
 ship Co. by the Great Railroad Magnate.

..sSAn Francisco, Aug. s.-J. J. Hill has -- swung his ax and it has fallen upon the
 neck of Senator George [. Perkins. . Thus commercial necessity punishes , political expediency.
 From a prince of our merchant ma . rine, managing great fleet of sea going ': vessels, MT. Perkins descends to the . saatiQn of part owner in hks small coal boats. Why: Because Mir. Hill ' has issued his decree.
 The port flag of the Pacific Coast . Steamship Company will not futter : from staff over the building occupied ! bys Goodall, Perkins X Co.,, and that will, operate only couple of colliers with bottoms flat enough to crawl over the bar of Coos hay.
 On the floor of the United States sen : ate Mir. Perkins WAS regarded by his - colleagues and the country at large as E. the Pacific coast representative of the :. nations merchant marine; by J. J. Hill
 and his associates he was considered a ~''corporation man" who :uisft be of
 assistance in shaping legislation. MT. Perkins regarded his seat in the senate with tender sOlicitude; he wished the - erential respect and unlimited confi- . dence.
 When the attention of the United ': States senate was centered upon the z question of Chinese exclusion Mr. Hill - and the. people of California simutan- - sOusly observed an opportunity for Sen .Otor Perkins to make himself useful: and when suggestions to that effect were conveyed to him his seat became posi- tive discomfort. Still he was anxious to retain it. To that end he promptly . straddled it and let Mir. Hill pull one
 leg while his constituents pulled the . other. A wrench dragged him little further to the peoples side than was pleasing to Mir. Hill, for Senator Per- kins finally declared his opposition t1
 the employment of Chinese on trans. Pacific steamship lines.
 Hill Sharpens Ills Ak.
 Hill knew that his line between sPuget seuad and the Orient could not compete so advantageously with the : Canadian Pacific and pay dividends if hs were compelled to employ white . crews, and right then he commenced >whetting an ax for Senator Perkins. He acquired the stock of the Pacific Coast Company, which owned the Pa citc Coast Steamship Company, and |. with which GoOdall Perkins X Go. had . contract of management. The oppor- funity for revenge fitted admirably into his policy of centralization. Instead of having one company at Seattle to man. age the Pacific Coast Company and an other in San Francisco to look after the affairs of the Pacific Coast Steam ship Company, he would bring them under control of the company having headquarters at Seattle. Salaries would be saved and it would work economy in the purchase of supplies.
 Early in September J. D. Farrell, president of the Pacific Coast Com pxny, will visit San Francisco to wind Up the agency of Goodall, Perkins X

Therefore SJ0,- eco is wanted as damages. Wm. A. Gilmore is the plaintiffs attorney
