On Gold Bottom Creek.

Gold Bottom is creek that is some- times spoken of, but up to this time, little work has been done upon it, al- though it is known that it carries gold. There is a likelihood, however, that it will be heard from in the future. A. Schneider, the French vice-consul in Nome, A. C. Schow and Philip De Fontville now have control of the greater part of the creek and this win ter they will do considerable prospect ing. They have now five men at work; substantial house has been built on one of the claims, and this winter DOT tion of the creek will be prospected. Good prospects have already been found on the creek, and it is expected that this winters work will warrant exten- sive developments next summer. Gold
 Bottom is the right fork of Snake river.

WORK OF THE
 DISTRICT COURT
Case of McGinn yS. Strong Set for Trial Dec. 2--LOyeII vS. Trans.
 Alaska Company Tried.

On Thursday Ira D. Orton and A. J. Daly, attorneys for J. F. A. Strong, filed a motion for a continuance of the case of McGinn vs. Strong. an action for libel. The motion for continu- ance was based upon an affidavit stat ing that witnesses material to the de- fendant's defense were out of the coun- try and would not return until next spring. These witnesses are District Attorney Grigsby. Frank Johnston and David Walsh. Judge Moore granted the continuance, but McGinn, appear ing for himself, finally said he would admit that the witnesses would testify as set forth in the affidavit, and the case was then set for trial on Dec. ,, next.
 The court then began the trial of the case of C. o. Lowell vs. The Trans Alaska Company, an action to recover $S43. The jury returned verdict for the plaintiff for $500.
 Yesterday the case of Goldstein vs. Richards was called. This is an action to recover S2,OOO damages alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff through the sale by the United States marshal of certain property. The case was continued yesterday until Monday morning.

MANY MEN

The Solomon River Country Prom. ises to Have a Big Clean.
 Up Next Spring.

Probably from 300 to 300 men will work on Solomon river and tributaries this winter, according to d statement made by H. von Sohnen, the well known hotel keeper of Solomon, who is in town. "The river," he says, "is alive with men wno are getting ready for winter work. On the river itself and on ten creeks camps are being erected, and there promises to be a great deal of work. Supplies are being moved to the different claims and busi- ness is lively, and if the claims turn out at all we'll there will be big clean up next spring in the Solomon coun- try"
 Mir. von Sohnen states that business at the town of Solomon is very good, considering this time of year, when travel is light. He has leased his hotel at Solomon for the winter.

At Port Safety Wireless
 Telegraph Station.
AWAIT ST. MICHAEL
Port Safety Office Daily Flashing Messages To St. Michael,
 But Gets no Response.

The United States telegraph office in Nome has been closed temporarily, Sergeant Lee Murphy having been transferred to Fort Davis. Whether the transfer of Sergeant Murphy is for the purpose of conducting more quietly the tests of the transmission of messa- ges between Port Safety and St. Michael is not definitely known. The station at Port Safety has been com pleted, and it is awaiting reports from St. Michael. Up to this writing noth- ing of satisfactory nature has been received from that place, although the operator "has heard few ticks" but nothing tangible. It may be that the St. Michael station has been completed and the operator at that point is trying to signal Port Safety station. If SO, be has not, as yet, been able to make him. ielf understood. Only, as stated above, few 'ticks" have been heard. and they were not sufficient to convey any meaning whatsoever, to the Port Safe ty station, all other reports to the con- trary, notwithstanding.
 The distance between Port Safety and St. Michael. in direct line, is ll2 miles, 8 greater distance to cover by the system that the government is now attempting to use, than has ever been covered. The men of the local signal corps, however, believe that the sys- tenn will work satisfactorily, and it may be that within few days Nome will actually be in direct communication with the outside. But up to the pres ent, there is no positive assurance that such will be the case.
 From November the Port Safety of- fee has been daily flashing messages toward St. Michael, but, as stated above, no satisfactory reply has been received.

False and Dangerous Economy.

Is practiced by 6 great many persons whom they find their eyes defective and in need of glasses. Instead of going to an optician and having their eyes test cd and glasses properly fitted they re- sort to Q dangerous economy by accept ing glasses discarded by friends, or they go to secondhand store or elsewhere, where "eye destroyers" are kept, and buy them because they can be had at 8 bargain. Such philosophers will cer- tainly see day whom they will rue their folly, for the delicacy and finished perfection of the eye are such that un- less the refractive error of the eye is slightly under-corrected, or just cor. rected, the lenses used will enervate the muscles of accommodation and per- manently impair the sight.
 Ed Friedman, scientific and practical optician, has the latest appliances for testing tho eyes, and besides he car ries the most complete stock of frames and lenses that were ever brought to Alaska. Mir. Friedman has been in Nome three years. and his optical work is commended by all.

Charles Magaha and William Elliott for the past two years have been pros pecting in the Irish hill country. Re- gently they sank shaft B feet on Irish hill and struck solid cement formation. Powder will have to be used to blast the cement, and the work will be continued this winter with the hope of striking pay and bedrock.
 Last summer Magaha & Co. opened up a couple of claims on Boulder creek, in the same section. They sank one hole 65 feet deep through muck, with here and there layer of gravel. No bedrock was found, and the shaft will be sunk to a greater depth. A three. mile ditch was constructed by the firm last summer.

DOWN ON
 NORTON Good Ground on Bonanza
 Creek.
THREE DOLLAR PANS
A Promising Quartz Ledge Has Been Located Near the Head
 of the Creek.

Bonanza creek, Norton bay, is show ing up very well, according to a state ment made by Red" Hughes, who has been prospecting in that section since 1900. He arrived in Nome on Thurs day, accompanied by Charlie Lockhart. This is MT. Hughes first visit to Nome since he left here in 1900.
 He says that Bonanza is the only creek in the district where gold can be found in paying quantities. The only draw wback Is the shortage of water. The miner has to depend entirely upon this one creek, and by damming the stream they manage to do few hours sluicing day. The past summer was au exceptionally dry season.
 Tom omIlh anu Bill Dwyer have had a team of horses at work on No. 3 Bo- nauza, stripping, and sluicing with what little water they could get by damming the creek. They have taken out as high as S3 to the pan, but the average is from cents to $2.50 pan. They have stripped across the claim for D feet, and have found no limit to the paystreak on either side. They have three feet of pay dirt.
 Nelson Bros. intend putting in pump on the creek. Owing to the early fall they were unable to get it over there during the summer, and it is now at Shaktolik. They expect to have it working early next season.
 A quartz ledge at the head of Bo- nanza creek is being prospected by Oleson Bros. They have not done enough work to ascertain the value of the quartz as yet, but it promises to turn out exceptionally rich.
 At least two claims will be worked on Bonanza this winter
 Mir. Hughes and MT. Lockhart re- turned to Bonanza today.
