A Worthy Institution.

Rev. O. r. Anderson, of the Swedish mission at Golovin bay. is in town. This mission was established several years ago. and is one of the few that has done good work among the natives of this coast. Attached to the mission is d home for orphan children. Work on the building was begun couple of years ago, but owing to the lack of funds it has not been completed. The object of Mir. Anderson's visit is to raise enough funds to complete the building. The ravages Of disease the past few year, among the natives have left numbers of orphans. and these are being cared for at the Orphans home. There are now some 2J children in the home, and the work of caring for these helpless orphans is most praiseworthy one and is fairly entitled to the sup port of all humanitarians. Mir. Ander- son is meeting with some success, but his worthy task is not necessarily an easy one. Among the contributors to the Orphans home is F.. 0. Lindbloom. who gave Mir. Anderson q check for $l00. Mir. Anderson will remain in Nome for about week.

0N FRIDAY Fred Hardy to Pay The Penalty of Death. An Attempt Will Probably be Made to Secure Stay of Pro.
 ceedings...SmaIi Hope.

Unless the altogether unexpected happens, Fred Hardy, convicted of the murder Of Con and Florence Sullivan and r. J. Rooney on Unimak i,!and on June 6, 1901, will perish by the rope next Friday.
 The gallows on which he will be hanged, is being constructed and the building in whichlthe gallows will be erected is being made ready for i,s gruc- some task.
 In the meantime Hardy maintains his usual composure and Is entirely cheer ful. He still maintain, his innocence, and will. without doubt, asscr, it 0 the last.
 It is probable that Attorney J0hn W. Corson will apply to the judge If the district court for stay of proreedings. but whether the judge has the power to grant 1t is the question.

Fine Climate and Great

Grasses Fl0uish Luxuriantly and Small Fruits Ripen in Great
 Abundance.

w. ]. Keene, who returned few days ago from Hotham inlet, kotzebue sound, says that while he was thero there were probably 500 natives camped on the inlet, engaged in fishing. Mir. keeue spent a month in that section, and he says during that time there were only two days when the sun did not shine and it was tine and warm. The summer climate is excellent.
 There are at least 5000 acres Of land in that section which has been burned over and it was covered with as fine q crop of red-top' as one could desire to see. It was waist high. The natives said the season was cold one for that section. Small game is abun- dant and fish are plentiful, while the crop of ground cranberries and blue berries was simply immense. At kotze- bue mission the season iS earlier than in Nome. and the missionary at that place has fine garden, in which he raises vegetables 0t various kinds. 1 saw salmon trout caught at Hotham inlet which weighed 45 pounds. It was monster, and silver salmon weighing from 10 to IS pounds are common"

Messrs. Mountjoy and Taylor, special examiners of the department of justice, who are here for the purpose of making the annual inspection of the federal off ces have finished their work of inspect ing the accounts of the office of the clerk of the district court up to Jan. l, last. They are now engaged in the work of inspecting the accounts of the United States marshal's office. The change from the clerk 5 to the mar shal's office was made because of the fact that Chief Deputy Forrest intends to sail on the Ohio for Seattle where he will spend the winter.

 Hardy has all along claimed that an unknown man whom he met with others on Unimak island after he had deserted from the fishing schooner Argo, wa, the guilty man, or, at least, knew who committed the murder.

A SPRIN TER Jo!ln ". Thorp, Prisoner,
 Takes Leg Bail. Escaped on the Street on Thurs. day Afternoon From Deputy
 Marshal |. ". Sloan.

John W. Thorp, alias ThorpSon. alias Watson, the man who sold a salted claim to John W. Cor,on, has secured his liheTy. He secured it by taking "leg bail:' that is to say, he escaped from the custody of Deputy Marshal Sloan, one of the guards in the jail, on Thursday aitcrnoon.
 Thorp is q mple-lookng fellow. but he does not seem to be as childlilie as appearances would indicate. Thorp. as readers of THE NUGGET know, was ar rested on the steamer Oregon and brought ashore. Last Thursday he asked that he might be allowed to go down town in custody of d deputy, 50 that he could get the money he had paid for his ticket returned. Thorp. accom- panied by Deputy Marshal Sloan, came down town and transacted the ticket business: then he said he wished to sec d friend down near the Standard Oil O., aud Sloan accompanied him in that direction. A short distance below the N. A. T. X T. Co. Thorp suddenly sprinted and in flash was going down the street toward Nome river as fast as his legs could carry him. Sloan had no gun. and hc too broke into Il run. but Sloan carries considerable weight and was no match for the ileeter-footed ed Thorp. Sloan immediately reported the escape, and Deputy Marshals Lowe and EStabrOOk went on the trail. The last heard or seen of Thorp was about 6::j0 o'clock on Thursday evening when q man living below the Standard Oil Cos. building, stated that Thorp had been seen in q tent. Thorp is without doubt being aided by accompliceS. When he fled from Deputy Sloan he lost his hat and had only a pair of slippers on his feet.

 The reign of the receiver has com menced, and clothing stores and saloons are occupied by these officials. Tom Chisholm's saloon, once d favorite resort for miners, is now in the hands of receiver.
 Among the recent arrivals in Nome from Dawson are l.. Pond, J. liar riman. S.. F. MacLaughlin and Mike Bartlett, ot the well-known firm of freighters,. Bartlett Bros. Mir. liar riman is 2 nephew of k. +. Hartman. of the Southern Pacific railroad, while Mir. MacLaughlin has been in business ia Dawson for number of years. Mr Pond was formerly well known jew elsr of Dawson, and he also owned and operated No. 3l below upper on Do- mini0n creek, from which he took in two seasons S25O, 900.
 Mir. Hartman planes the Canadian government mining regulations for the backset given to mining operations. Large areas, be says, have been granted to individuals or companies. Litigation has resulted, and, us a consequence, production has been lessened.
 Mir. Hartman has been in the Klon- dike for number of years and has been continuously engaged in mining operations.
 All of the recent arrivals state that Nome is by far the best mining camp Of the North, and that this fact is gradually being understood. Rampant is having a small boom, but in the opinion of the Dawson men there is nothin. to warrant it. Eagle is as peaceful Us the grave, while little is doing at Circle.
