not seriously.
The outrage is supposed to have been

bomb filed with scrap iron. The ex-

for the clumsy manner in which the

IT IS NOTHING
 STARTLING
Frank WhaIley Writes koyukuk is a Good Prospecting Camp,
 Not Bonanza.

Dawson, Y. T., June l3-In letter under date of April 1 received today from Bettles, koyukuk, by Ernest Whalley from his brother Frank, the writer says he had just come down from the creeks for load of grub and in- tended to return to Hammond creek in a few days. He thinks he can take out a grubstake this summer from claim he has on Hammond. He says further:
 "There was no work this winter, and money is very scarce. It cost me $7O0 to winter, and none too good at that. From what 1 can learn. there will be plenty of grub in this summer, and it may be much cheaper than heretofore. The camp will turn out some time, but it may take several years of develop ment. It is dead one now.
 ''There is some good ground on Ham, mond. A nugget worth $500 was found on discovery recently.
 Always bear in mind there is no Bonanza or EldoradO here. There are 300 men in this camp"

A Wonderful Clock,

A remarkable piece of mechanism is now on exhibition at 234 Front street. It is a real clock made entirely of will lows which grew on Alaska creeks. The wheels are symmetrical and the tick tock of the clock is just as natural as that of the finest workmanship made in the great eleck manufacturing marts. It is the workmanshipof John NOrdwal, and was made in 1900, during his leisure time. Some friends saw it and induced him to part with it, and it is now the property of Messrs. Olson and Jacobson. The time piece is Little short of mar vel, and it is welt worth seeing. It keeps accurate time, and it is safe to say, that it is the only one of its kind in the world.

ASHES SCATTERED
 FAR AND WIDE
New Volcano Was in an Active State
 of Eruption on the Upper kus. kOkWim Last Winter.

Anew volcano broke loose last winter in the upper Kuskokwim country, ac- cording to statement made the other day by M. L. V. Smith. who, with Clarence Hawkins, arrived in Nome on Sunday morning. Fears for the safety of Smith and Hawkins were entertained by their friends. The travellers, how ever. arrived safely. after experiencing incredible hardships, which included famine, they being compelled to resort to dog meat diet. after five days Of fasting.
 Smith and Hawkins left Iliamna bay on April 10 with 2G0 pounds of mail for the Trans-Alaska Company. which for weary miles they packed Dpoh their backs, waded through water waist deep, fOrded rivers and travelled over plains covered several inches deep with volcanic ashes, scattered for POO miles over the country. It was at first sup posed that the ashes came from Mount Redoubt. but Mr. Smith says that the eruption was from new volcano. Mount Redonbt having been quiet dur ing the winter.
 The advent of many white men in that section was the principal cause of 2 scarcity of food at the native villages en route. The natives had traded ,hnmcolvAc almost ant rely ont of food for the white mans hOutch.

w. J. Crayton arrived Monday from the Siberia coast, whither he went, he says, in company with a man named Harry. last August. Crayton says that they did considerable prospecting in the vicinity of East Cape, but they found nothing. The men had plenty of food until March, after which they "did the best they could.' The natives treated them kindly. Crayton was landed at Cape Prince of Wales by the Thetis, being given, he says, to under stand distinctly that it was solely on account of charity that he was given on board the cutter.

On Portage Creek, ia the Lake Clark Country.
G;,1R.B0GART RETURNS
After Spending Nearly Two Years in the kuskOkwim Regisn-EavOrably impressed With Lake Clark Dis. trict Stony River Deserted.

"The Mount Mckinley country, in the kuskokwim region, is 8 fine look ing section for prospectors." said D. D. Bngars Thursday.
 Mr. Bogart was appointed United States commissioner and mining re- aorder for Kuskokwim district in De- cember, 1900. On December l2 of that year he started for his headquarters on the Kuskokwim, and he remained con sinuously in that section until . couple of weeks ago. He reached Nome from St-Michael on Thursday last. Although Judge Moves during his relgn in Nome appointed at least two successors to Mir. Bogart- none of them ever reached him, nor did any notification of the ap- pointment of q successor.
 : Mr. Bogart, who was formerly mayor of Nhssoula, Mont, is looking well after his long experience on the Kuskokwim. He is rich in health, he says, but has not added materially to his worldly wealth. He has, however, firm faith i'm Mt. Mckinley district The mineral formation is excellent, being composed of mica schist and quartz very similar ao that which features the klondike.
 'IBut," says Mr. Bogart, .'the man who goes into that section with less than two years outfit will find him self stranded and unable to accomplish anything, while he will endure every manner of privation.
 There has been strike of some magnitude on Portage creek a tribu- tnry of Lake Clark, about F miles from Keiik village. Mr. Bogart visited that section on the strength of 9 report that last fall S2-6O had been found in six pans On the frozen rim. The report proved correct but Mr. Bogart was unable to accomplish much by reason of there being too much water He got as high as 9 cents t0 the pan, however, and man named Gerow picked up a nugget worth $40. "The creek" adds Mr. Bogart, has been entirely s,aked by Swedes and Indians."
 Stony river has been deserted con- pletely, the pOspectors who were there Last year havin. gone to Lake Clark.
 4 strike is also reported on the lower Kuskokwim, Mr. Crutcher, Mr. BogArt s informant, having stated to him that pay ground had been found on a stream l5 miles below Quinhagamute.
 Taken as whole, the KuskOkwim country, Mir. Bogart says, is 3 promis- ing one: the clima9e is good, although aSt winter on two 0r three occasions .hs mercury dropped out of sight.
 Mr. Bogart will remain in Nome for ,olne time, as his future movements have not yet been determined.
