Steamer Dawson City. Capt Lupp, which left Nome on Oct. 9 for Seattle, is now at Golovin bay. The Dawson City left Nome just before the big storm came up, and had an eventful eXperi- ence. For ten days she weathered the hurricane and came through it suffering but little damage.
 After leavin. Nome roadstcad on Oct. 9, the staunch steamer was caught in the gale which grew heavier every moment. Capt. Lupp headed her towards St. Lawrence island, but the wind blew the steamer beyond it, and he then made for the Siberian coast. and found shelter at Indian point. In the meantime the steamers fresh water supply had been exhausted, and an at tempt was made to secure fresh water at Indian paint, but it could not be ob tained by reason of the foul weather.

Adam Johnson, Convicted of Dis. orderly Conduct, Wants a
 Review of Case.

Adam Johnson, former court crier, who was fined last Thursday, S25 and costs by Commissioner Reed for dis orderly conduct, has asked for review of the case.

A charge of assault and battery was placed against him and he was arrested. Judge Reed did not find him guilty of the crime charged, but found him guilty of dis orderly conduct. Johnson, in his petit tion for a review, states that no com plaint of that nature had been aAo, and that he had no opportunity Aooo heard in his own behalf on that chasGe; that he was taken by surprise, but his objections were overruled by tho court, which. he says, exercised its "jurisdic- tion enormously and exceeded i1s juris- dictiOn."

SLIM THE BARBER ESCAPES
From the Custody of an
 Acting Deputy Marshal.

Slim was arrested and was being brought to Nome by Acting Deputy Marshal Binswanger, D. w. Simmons, the regular deputy, having been in Nome. Deputy Binswanger and his prisoner got along swimmingly until Big Hurrah roadhOuse was reached last Friday night. Slim, the barber, was handcufYed and placed in the house while Deputy Binswanger looked after his horse in an adjoining barn. When he returned, to his surprise, Slim was nowhere to be found. As soon as the deputy's back was turned Slim had taken to the tundra. Immediate search was made, but so far, it has proved fruitless, although it is stated that Slim has been seen in Nome within the past two or three days.s
The Nome nugget., 1902-10-22

Ed Simmons, well known in Nome as "Slim the Barber" is wanted. When last seen he had pair of handcuffs on his wrists. This was last Friday night ct the Big Hurrah roadhouse, Solomon river.
 The story of Slim is brief. Formerly he was barber in the Second Class. About the middle of last July he went to Council and opened shop in that thriving burg. Slim had strong gambling propensity, and one night he sold his barber chair and shop to Chop House Bill to satisfy gambling debt. A day or two later he sold the same chair and barber shop to Earle Snyder for $6O. This is why he was last seen with his wrists decorated with pair 0i hsndcuffs.

Harry Owens, the original discOverer of this lode, is one of the pioneers of this section, though but young man. He discovered and named Oregon and Hungry creeks in lS99 He located on Hungry in February of that year, nd on Oregon in the following month. Oregon was named for the state of that name, but Hungry received it's appella- tion from different cause. With Harry Owens at the time the creek was located was an Australian. He wanted to call the creek Ballarat. after well-knOwn Australian mining camp. Owens had been mushing all day, and he was tired and hungry.
 I've better name for it than Bal larat," said Owens: "let me name it." And on an empty stomach Owens dubbed it Hungry. The name stuck.
 Although MT. Owens was the orig inal discoverer of both these creeks he never reaped the fruits of his labor. He was beaten out of his holdings, he says, in 1900, through the ''instru- mentality of the district court and by the aid of receivers" Re has stayed with the country, however, and is on the fair road to prosperity.
 "Gumboot gulch," says Charley Brown, ''is the best creek in the Grip pie river section, with the exception of Trilby sulch, where Charlie Wilson and others have struck it rich, but they haven't said anything about it.
 "On Gumboot gulch we found six cents to the pan two and half feet from the surface, sand it must be 20 feet to bedrock. There is an old chan mel in that section, and Gumboot is on it. The gulch has only two claims, but old channels are numerous in that sec- tion."

She worked down to Sledgc island expecting to be able 10 find anchorage there, but the sea was too rough to permit it.

 Mr.. (. A. ileckman, one of the crew of the Dawson City, reached Nome from Golovin yesterday morning. He says that the steamer wcathered the storm in fine shape, the only damage that she suffered being the breaking of a few windows which were dashed in by the waves. A rope from one of the ships boats became entangled in one of the propellers and it could not be used. Sea water also had to be used to make steam. The steamers boilers were be- ing cleaned at Goloyin when Mr. Heck man left that place.

A CRIPPLE RIVER LEDGE
A Big Body of Ore Found Near Head
 of Mammoth Creek.

Charlie Brown, known among his friends as Montana Brown, is down from Hungry creek, where he has been mining all summer. He reports a sea- son of satisfactory work, and he says unhesitatingly that the Cripple river section is not only a promising placer field, but it will he quartz producer as we'll.
 1T never thought there were quartz lodges in this country until lately" he said yesterday, "but I have changed my mind. l have seen one true Assure vein. I didn't discover it. The dis covery is due to Harry Owens, who one day showed me some quartz and asked me what thought of it. 1 asked him where he got it, thinking it was some rock that had been brought in from the States. Why he said, T can show you huge boulders like that.
 "Well, l went up to the head of Mammoth creek and looked at the ledge, and sure enough it was there in plenty. The ledge is in place, and is known to be at least 20 feet wide, and how much wider it is don't know, for not much work has been done on it. The quartz is deeply copper stained, and is sulphate of iron, and looks much like that found in the great Treadwell mine at Douglas City, Alaska. It has a schist footwall and a dolomite hanging wall, Of course, it is not free milling"
 Samples of the ore are now being as saved. Mammoth creek, at the head of which the ledge is located, is trib- utary of Cripple river. Good placer ground has been found on the creek, pans running as high as p cents hay ing been found.
