The Ordinance Against
 Spielers
Wifi Not Be Repealed By the City Council. ...ReductiOn of Sal.
 aries Deferred.

The securing of quorum at the last regular meeting of the city council on Monday evening seemed to be the fea- ture of the evening. Outside of the regular routine of business very little was done.
 John Rustgard, on behalf of board of trustees appointed to manage the erection of a free bridge across Snake river, addressed the council, asking for their cooperation. The funds, Mr. Rusteard stated, are being raised by private subscription. The matter was referred to City Attorney Sullivan.
 The time of reducing the diaries of city officials was deferred until after Nov l. The ordinances repeating those creating the office of street commis- sioner and abclishing street spieling were laid over indefinitely.
 Mayor Valentine called the attention of the council to the lighting of streets, and the street committee was instruct ed to report at the next meeting.
 City Treasurer Cowden's report was as follows: Cash on hand, general fund, $2, 252.36 attorney fund. $78.2 20: fire fund, $3 20: street fund, $272.2l; school fund, overdrawn Sl4.53.
 A communication from the school board asking for the enforcement of the ordinance prohibiting minors ire quenting saloons and resorts was re- ferred to the chief of police.
 Transportation was asked for by Mrs. H. c. Colby, who claims to be an in- curable, being troubled with rheuma- tism. The matter was referred to the health committee, with power to act.
 Councilman Jourden reported on the condition of the fire alarm system, stat ing that it was in need of some repair, and $50 was ordered transferred to the fire fund to defray the expenses of such repairs.
 The bills of Miss Codding and Miss Fleming, which were contracted by ex- City Attorney Hoggatt, and bill of $25 of J. F. Palmer, for services rem dered in boating Dr. Tiedemann as city health officer out to incoming vessels were allowed.

Light on the Matter.

w. II. Bush. Nome agent of the Pa citic Coast Steamship company, has re- ceived the following letter from Edwin Goodall, president of the company "MeSsrs. Goodall. Perkins X Co. hay ing resigned the general agency and management, Mr. J. F. Lawess is here by appointed manager with headquar- ters at San Francisco" The appoint ment of Mr. Lawless i, approved by J. D. Farrell, president of the Pacific Coast Co.
 Accompanying the above is an an nouncement from Gocdall Perkins X Co. which states: "As there have been of late numerous erroneous statements in the newspapers regarding our rela- tions with said steamship company, we briefly summarize the situation for the information of our friends: ''SOme B years ago the members of our firm and associates inaugurated the steamship business between san Francisco and adjacent coast ports, which business rapidly developed, and was subse- quently incorporated under the name of the Pacific Coast Steamship com pany. Our firm managed the business pany.
 ''In 1881 we sold out to the Oregon Improvement company but continued as agents for the owners. The busi- ness of the company continued to ex pand until it reached such proportions as to require substantially all our time and attention, so much so that we felt we were neglecting our own business atfairS.'

IA SHOWERS
Hundreds of Miles of
 Volcanic Ashes.
Scattered Over kuSkOkwim...Ex. perienceS of Musl,erS in That
 Section Last Winter.

Duncan McDonell. the Kuskok vim traveller, now in Nome, tells of re- markable shower of volcanic ashes that spread over the Stony river section of the Kuskokwim about the middle of February last.
 When Mr. McDonell first encountered the dust he thought it was from the river banks. As he proceeded the dust became thicker until it finally attained depth of an inch. He travelled over it 40 miles, on his way to Clark lake, and the sledding was so bad that he was forced to turn back. The ashes were very heavy and resembled ground emery. The ashes, no doubt, came from Mount Redoubt, or some other active volcano in that section, l50 or more miles away.
 Many mushers on the head of Stony on their way to Trail creek, were forced to abandon their sleds and build wagons in order to get through the country covered by the volcanic ash deposit. Among this party were the following we'll known old-timers: Fred Woitke and wife, Waln brothers, Fred Will liamson, Joe Fiset, Dan Brown, Carl son, Thompson, "Nigger Jim, Walker and three or four others.
 The shower of dust greatly alarmed the Indians on the Kuskok vim, who predict all sorts of disaster. They said disease would soon make it's ap- pearance on the river and moose and wild game would all die. In 1900 an epidemic played havoc among the natives, about 600 dying on the Kus- kokwim. However, so far as known, this was the first fall of volcanic ashes on that river.

FROM RUBY All Claims Worked Have
 Made Money. C'eanu?s Have Net Been Phe. nonlenalIy Large, But Own.
 CTS Are Satisfied.

William Robertson, q well-known Nome sourdough, who is one of the owners of No. below on Ruby creek, Casadepoga. is in town. Mr. Robert son states that the seasons work on his claim was satisfactory. Considerable gold dust has been taken out of Ruby this year. On Nos. and , below upper discovery Adam Thein and C. NJ. Gar held did guod work, while some work was done on Ne. } below by l.. Yates. In fact, all the claims worked paid fairly we'll The cleanups were not phenomenally large, but they were profitable.
 The Midgeley claim, which Mr. Rob- ertson says is undoubtedly the best on Ruby, was sold last spring to the Northern Mining tS Trading Company, which paid $3.25o for it. Little work was done on this claim this season. Muck is now being groundsluiced, pre- paratory to working it extensively next season
 On Willow creek Westby X Delkin are doing good work. and other claims are showing up well. Mr. Robertson thinks that Willow is equally as good as Ruby, but it will take more money to develop it.
 Ford and Mitchell, on Solomon river, are doing fairly well, and they have high hopes of their quartz property. On the main Casadepoga very little has been done but one miner working on the river near the mouth of Ruby reported that he was taking out about BIO day with a rocker.

Nome Will Not Have a
 Telegraph Line
THE COMlNG WlNTER
No Stations at Nome or St Michael. ...COntractOrS Ar.
 rived Too Late.

Nome will not have telegraphic con nection with the ''outside" next win ter. That is foregouc conclusion. During the summer the government entered into negotiations with the Marconi and FesSendcn wireless telc- graph concerns for the erection of sta tions at Nome. St. Michael, Fort Gib- bon and Bates Rapids, up the Tanana river. The station at Fort Gibbon has been built, but it has been found inn possible to construct that at Bate,
 Rapids this fall. The contractors came in late, and expected to pick up labor at about S3.50 day. When they found that men wanted Sl0 a day they thre " their hands. This, coupled with the fact that the contractors arrived too late to do much work, is tantamOunt to saving that the work will be abandoned for this year at least.
 It was reported several weeks ago that supplies and material necessary for the equipment of stations at Nome St. Michael and Point Denbigh. on Norton bay, had been forwarded on the Roanoke. But the information seems to have been erroneous. as no supplies have ever been received.
 It is stated that recently the chief of the signal service corps, stationed at St. Michael, has received notice from Washington that it was believed the cable between Nome and St. Michael could be repaired and utilized. The belief, however, is not warranted by any facts known in either Nome or St. Michael. The cable has been a pro nounced failure ever since it was laid. During the fall of 1900 the cable worked for q few days and then col lapsed. In the spring of 1901 it was repaired but with the appearance of the first ice in the fall it again went out of business. It has been in state of innocuOuS desuetude ever since. The ground ice may always be depended upon to knock it out of business in the beginning of winter, should the gov ernment attempt to repair it.
 The line from Naldes to Eagle has been completed, but this will do Nome little good, as without connection be- tween Fort Gibbon and the Naldes line there is a gap of several hundred miles to be covered, and so far as practical purposes are concerned there might as well be no telegraph line whatever.

length to do within month, and work ing part of the time in ground that had been worked before, but which had to bc removed in order to have the claim iu good shape next year. If the pay extends up the hill from the Seiffert claim, as it looks now, this ditch will pay many thousands in dividends next year.
 The Dieter-Gibson ditch paid for it. self the first three cleanups, and Mr. Dieter. who expected to winter on the creek. has made up his mind to visit the states, the ditch having provided the means. Mr. Dieter has several water rights located, and will try to get capital interested to construct them during the next year. One is from Canyon creek to Gold Run q distance Of six miles another from the right fork to the mouth of the Bluestone river. He has had such good luck with the rst ditch that he thinks it is the best investment the country has to offer.
 During the coming winter there will be at least six drawers prospecting in he district. and the owners all say they will give all their time to the benches. and by looking over the past summers work it is easy to see that the future of t.n Blurstonc district lies in the bencht-instcad of the creek claims.
 The work laid out for the future and the prospects found in the hillside have proven hel 1ud Il doubt that Gold Run has great future.
