LECTURER
 VISITS NOME
E. Burton Holmes, the Lecturer, Looking for Material for
 New Lecture.

E. Burton Holmes, the traveller and lecturer, and his photographer, O. B. DePew, were in the city last Wednes- day and Thursday. Mr. Holmes and his party came by the inside route and gathered material for new lecture on Alaska and the Alaskans. Mir. Holmes is great traveller, one who observes and gathers material that interests the large audiences to whom he speaks. He had the Eskimos dance for him on the spit and took a number of moving pictures of them. MT. DePew also took some moving pictures of Front street, so that Nome will certainly get some free advertising in the cities of the States. MT. Holmes always speaks to crowded houses in all the leading cities of the East.

Council for the DeSoto company last week, and the first night they arrived the malamutes got in their work and 30 of the feathered ones were missing next morning. We have missed the face of the alleged watchman also since that time.
 Work on the ditch is completed as far as the chain of lakes between Bear creek and the Neukluk, and water is now running in that division. Between the lakes and the river there is a nat ural channel which needs some clean ing out, and this work will be complet- ed at once and water turned in the en- tire distance.
 The steam shovel is completed with the exception of the pump which is to clean away the tailngs. Several shovels of dirt were turned this week, the machinery working in perfect or der.
 The bad weather of the past week has delayed work on the dredge to some extent. The woodwork is con- pleted, however, as soon as the connec- tions are made, the plant will be turn ing out the gravel. This work will not take more than few days.

TIE TANANA
 LOOKS BETTER FIT
One Wll0 Has Faith That the Sec. ton Will Eventually Be a
 Big Gold Producer.

A. H. Hood, one of the few who are saying with the Tanana, has become encouraged by his work in the Fair banks district and will remain in the country through the winter. Hood went to Fairbanks from Dawson last March. Writing under date of July ' to l.. Horr, of Dawson, he states that the outlook is much brighter to him now and that he believes the district will eventually be one of the big gold producers of the country
 Hood did not think much of the country when he landed among the first stampeders, but he has come to have faith in the diggings since several of the claims have showed up well this summer He writes that he has taken a three-year lay on No. Gold Stream, and that he intends to stay with the camp.
 There will be an excellent oppor. tunity for those who are in Fairbanks this winter, Hood writes, as there vii, :, be lot of lapsed ground in January. Scores of locators who staked last win ter have become disgusted with the country and have left, never to return This is one of the principal reasons, why Hood will stay at Fairbanks dur, ing the winter. He believes that many of the claims that will undoubtedly be thrown open will turn out to be pretty rich ground.

DOMINION A
 BUSY CREEK
It is Put at Head of LiSt--MOre Water Would Treble the
 Amount of Work.

Dawson, Aug. SD. A. Matheson re- turned from trip of four days on Do- minion, Sulphur, Eldorado and Bonanza creeks. Mir. Matheson owns property on these creeks, but is operating no claims at the present time. His trip was made to observe conditions and to investigate as to the advisability of doing some work on one or more of his claims.
 Mir. Matheson owns 73 below Lower discovery, Dominion, and will put few men at work on his claim within short time. He reports that Dominion is the busiest creek in the territory, and is producing large amount of gold. A heavy rain fall a few days ago lasting for two days, caused nearly all claims to resume work, and at the present time the whole creek is being worked industriously, night and day.
 On Sulphur, MT. Matheson says, most ot the work is being done on the claims in the lower part, as the short age of water is more in evidence on the upper part of the creek.
 Bonanza and EldoradO claims are be- ing worked as much as the lack of water for sluicing purposes will permit.
 MT. Matheson stopped at great many claims on all the creeks visited and inspected the machinery being used and the different methods of min ing.

the steamer Wilbur Crimmin was char tered to take the crowd up the Pelly to the scene of the new strike. The list includes the Iname of Roaul Rinfret, who is the Dominion land surveyor, taken along to survey the townsite, which it is said has already been ap- piled for.
 Yukon Councilman Max Lanlreville is also one of the party. Mr. Landre- vile imparted the information last evening that . recorder left Selkirk two days ago for the scene of the strike, ascending the river in a polling boat.
 "The location of the strike is about 25 miles from the head of navigation, in the region near the Kitzie river. It is reported that the collaborating gravel is of unusual depth, and that Henderson is working by an open cut. Various reports are heard as to the richness of the ground.
 According to information having every semblance of reliability, Tender son is working a bar in the Pelly. He has five sluice boxes, and with d few hundred yards of Hume hose is said to be getting plenty of fall and shovel ing in.
 "The bare mention of the use Of sluice boxes has caused much of the excitement. However, it is stated that Henderson found coarse gold there last year when up the river as enumerator.
 "Purser Enrickson, of the Crimmin, saw gold that was brought out from that section when up the Pelly on the trip made two weeks ago.
 "A number of persons last night evinced a desire to go on the stampede, but found that they could not go on the Crimmin. as she had been chartered by individuals and tickets were not for sale by the officers of the boat.
 "The passengers all had outfits of tools and provisions. Nearly everyone going on board had new gold pan and pick and shovel. It is evident that in- formation has been imparted to them of rich strike"

A BOAT CHARTERED
The Strike Is About Twenty-Five Miles From the Head of
 Navigation.

The Dawson Record of August ? con- tains the following account of a strike in the upper Pelly river district:
 ''The one topic of conversation on the streets last night was the sailing of the Wilbur Crimmin for the upper Pelly river. Men gathered in groups on the corners and discussed the news of the reported strike made by Bob Henderson and his partner, F E. Ene- voldsen, at the headwaters of the Pelly.
 "Enevoldsen arrived in Dawson a few days ago, having come down the river in a small boat He had been at the new diggings about two weeks. Henderson had been prospecting in the country and had struck something good and let Enevodsen in on it.
 "On the arrival of Enevoldsen in Dawson few days ago he quietly gathered together a few friends, and

STANDING BY THE COUNTER.

Nobody stands by the counter now,
Oh, everything looks so dim,
And as stand gazing at the vacant
place,
| yearningly think of him,
And see through the haze OF long ago,
The bloom OF a fair young face,
As he stood there talking merrlly
With smile that brigh tened the place,
Sometimes he held my hand in his,
What could | wish for more;
just give mo a sly Irritation
Behind counter in store,
And when look back Ter that old glad
life
Back through a mist Of by.gone years,
There's a memory as sweet as kisses,
There's memory as sad as tears.
On, those old, old days, those dear old
days,
When a sweetheart W th golden hair,
Was mine to scod, to love, to kiss,
As he stood by the counter there.
But lost him hack in those other years
When girl with a face more fair
Took him, and with prayers and tears
| gaze at the counter there.
And now and then in my wistful dreams
Like a picture costly and rare,
| see d golden shining head
Standing by the counter there.
And live again those happy days,
The happiest in young life's Spring
When he stood by the counter there,
| To me the centre of everything.
