 Attention.
bEG GRAVEL BEDS
Promising Quartz Found On SeY- eraI Creeks...Section Needs
 g Railroad Badly.

Out in the Pilgrim river countrr
 says Joseph Sliecovich, the father O. that section, there are some oi the best hydraulic propositions in the entire peninsula. Between Willow and Slate creeks on the Pilgrim there Is an i'm mense body of gravel, ill which he ha, found dirt running from two to eight cents to the pan. Abundance of water can be obtained at comparatively small expense.
 Some extensive gravel deposits have also been found on the benches of Nii- low and Slate. Here has been found, Mr. s,liscovich says. what he calls q marine wash. that i, he believe, the sea once flowed over that portion of the great interior country. "Herc.' he says, ''on the south side of the Pilgrim. from Iron creek to the head of salmon lake is the finest country for the pros pcctor to be found in Alaska. It was nearly all located in Io%9 and 1900, but has never been toGcEed. It is virgin sround which not only invites the al- tention of tue placer miner but the quartz prospector us well. Gold may be found in every creek. the formation being lime. IorphEry. rlate and m.ca sthist."
 Mr. .5liscovith, torsome ,ilne has been developing quartz lcdEe, on Zig and Rock creeks. i.e i, more than satisfied with the pro>pec,. The other day he brought in some sample of quartz in which gold i, visible 10 the naked eye. And the ledge is getting better as the work proceeds. The ledges are we'll defined and he believes that they will be permanent. "What we need in that section more than anything else" he says. lis railroad connection with Nome 50 that we can @e, supplies laid down at moderate figure. Give Us q narrow gauge railroad, which can Je easily ana chcaply built by the way, and you will see the most wonderful mining develop ments within 6 short time.
 Tom Preston, the Kougarob City road house man, confirms the statement as to the quartz found on Sliscovich's s claims. He visited the Rock creek ledge recently and he says that the quartz found ia certainly Of excellent quality, is free milling and gives prom ise of developing into rich mine.

Chewing Gun1 and Lamp
 CIlimneys.
Durham Tobacco a Little Sly, and There's Not Much Cham.
 pagne in Town.

There is said to be a shortage of Of chewing gum, lamp chimneys of some kinds, and Durham tobacco.
 A local merchant said yesterday that if there is any considerable amount of chewing gum in town it must be cor nered as he was able to buy only few packages.
 Eddie Daily of the Imperial Cigar Co. has bunch Of fine Rochester lamps, but he can't get lamp chimneys to suit. There are plenty of certain kinds, but the make that he wants is lamentably deficient. he says.
 There's a-plenty of tobaccos, it is said, except Durham, which is affected by cigarette smokers. A cigar dealer, who shall be nameless. says that the supply of really good cigars is not ex- extensive, although he has abundance for his trade. Of inferior grades, which the genuine old sour dough of experience does not like, there is no lack, but when man has cultivated a taste for d nice imported cigar, he turns up his nose at stinkorado.
 Beer has risen in price and some dealers say that whiskey is not plenti- ful, while others state that there is enough in Nome to last the demand for a couple of years. Champagne, how ever. is on the short list, and cham pagne punches are not likely to be served at public or private functions with the reckless abandon of last win ter.
 Some people intimate that cream will be short before spring, but look through some of the warehouses, among them that of Archer, Ewing & Co.,. does not betOken that state of affairs.
 In short there will be plenty to eat, to wear, to drink and to smoke, if the price is forthcoming; and the indica- tions are that prices will remain con- paratively steady.
 Wellington coal is now quoted at S35 per ton. Many contracts were made at S22.50 and it looks as if a not inconsid- erable quantity is being held by con tract speculators. Newcastle coal i quoted at s20 per ton.

"Ihe impression that the grounds OF

is erroneous said a member Of tho

private, in way. but the public may

ITO allow the public to trample over

age to the field. The club has gone to
considerable expense in making a fine

so soon after the formal opening of the
property. The public can view the dis
play from other points in the vicinity,
and will enjoy it as much as those who
are Within the property enclosure"
IL was announced today that the city

London, June 27.-At the hour when

yesterday a great and distinguished
assemblage, almost identical with that
which would have sat in Westminster

bassy, and Mrs. Carter; Whitelaw
Reid, the special ambassador of the

City Registrar Talks
SOME OFFICERS WON'T PAY

Notwithstanding the fact that Secre-
tary of State Layton has notified each
election registrar, assistant and alter
nate outside OF this city who will con-
duct the coming State registration and
election. that he is expected to pay into
the Secretary's private purse 81 for his
commission. many OF the officers will
not pay the fec and will acquiesce in
whatever action ON the part Of Mr.. lay
ton which may follow. On the other
hand. some of the officers will pay the
fee. not because they believe they can
be compelled to do so, but bcause they
do not care to oppose the wishes OF the
Addicks Secretary of State in this par
ticular To do so, they believe would
place them in the bad graces OF Mr.
Iayton's closest political friends They
therefore. il would seem. act through
expediency.
According TO the statement OF one
rural registrar. who is a pronounced
AddiCksite. he received notification

Although the Wilmington registrars
are not expected TO contribute to Mr.
Layton's personal wealth for the privi-
lege Of sitting as a registration officer,
many OF them condemn his action to-
ward the rural officers. Nicholas
Jenny, registrar IN the First

TO all things that are neither wholly
good nor wholly bad.
With the favorable progress Of the
king, there is much discussion as to
how the coronation will eventually be
effected. While nothing has in any
way been definitely settled, It appears
that King Edward is likely to cele.
brate this event very quietly and with
merely the ceremony that attends the
opening of parliament This consists
of a drive direct to Westminster Alb.
hey, accompanied by a small escort
and a speedy return to buckingham
Palace, and it is rumored that no for
eign princes or ENJOYS will be espe-
cially invited for the occasion. All
this, Of course, is quite in the air, but
it forms one of the chief topics Of
London's daily conversation.
