Waiting for His Customer.
Originality with cabmen gives them
about the same measure of success
as Is acquired In any other business.
A traveller who alighted at New Ha-
ven few days ago was surprised as
he walked out on the platform to see
fine rig dash up toward him and to
hear a well dressed and polite cabby
say as he touched his hat: How do
you do, sir? | have been waiting for
you"
why how is that?" exclaimed the
visitor. II came out here to look for
scent carriage"
ooh, II that's the case, you'll find
them over there" added the cabby,
pointing to the trolley cars, "but I'll
carry you more comfortably and it'll
only cost you a quarter"
well, II that's the case, and you've
been waiting for me, would be sorry
to disappoint you, and guess III have
to let you take me up in the town, .
and the visitor climbed into the hack,
while the bright cabby cracked his
whip gleefully as he ratified up the
street.-New York Times.

NEED OF '' ''' ROADS Suggestions as to How They May Be Had. A PLAN PROPOSED Annual Assessment Work to be
 Devoted to Road
 making.
A PLAN PROPOSED

To the EdtOr:-In the last issue Of THE NUGGET you refer to q matter which is of great importance to this vicinity. as well as to the District of Alaska generally, namely, the con struction of wagon roads to the mining districts. You have not overestimated the value of such roads, indeed, that were scarcely possible. It. is true, as you suggest, that we can not look to the general government for direct as sistance. but congress can materially aid the district in this behalf by slightly amending the general mining laws, making such amendment appli- cable to Alaska alono, if it sees fit. the expense under the amendment to be borne by those in interest here.
 The change l suggest..is, that each mining district in Alaska be empowered, at meeting of the miners of the sev- eral districts, called for that purpose, to elect board of highway commits sioners, which shall have charge and supervision of the roads in the respect i've districts: that the annual assess ment work now required to be done on mining claims. shall, in whole. or re- sonable part, be expended on that road leading to and benefiting the claims nearest to it: certificates of the com missioners to serve as proof of labor on the claims designated.
 This system would secure two results, both desirable: first, roads would be constructed, and second, it would re- quire actual work on the claims held. instead of constructive work, which too generally prevails at present.
 If this system were inausurated the working and practical details could be supplied without difficulty.

does this man mean, and what part are you taking in this atfuir?'
 Lawlor raised up quickly saying ''don't blame me for this" Dr. Halls hand was very near my face, as he said in an authoritative: Not another word, sir; you talk to me; am the man you have to deal with: I know you are m hurry 10 get back to the United States ard brand me as a murderer: that is what you wish to do." His small, deep-set eyes looked savagely at me, his hands shaking with excitement and anger; his left hand was on his re- vOlver. LuwlUr remained in his up right position, and I backed out of tue tent, Dr. Hall saying "Yuu may talk. he whaIeboat or you may go and live with Albert's tribe: choose which you will do."
 1 answered that would go with AL bert's tribe, and walked over to the tent where Sam Spearman awaited me. After eating meal of dried salmon, an Indian came with my rifle and a little salmon. l knew the guide and was anxious to get away. The trip was not q long one and we arrived at the place on the fourth day, and were met on the beach by large number of natives who seemed much surprised at our ap- pearance. Our guide was quickly sur rounded, and he told them of the killing of Coleman, saying that 1 was the cause.
 While the conversation was being carried on Spearman and seated our selves quite near, and it did not look good to us. Presently the natives all left us, save few children, who stood around staring at us. Chief Albert was not in camp. A young Indian beckoned to Spearman and 1 was left alone to think over the past and present. knew if Chief Albert was in camp or any of his boys. 1 would be asked to their quarters. l examined my rife, all rusted aud corroded by the weather and disuse; small pouch contained cap box, with five caps, and had three bullets also, but no powder.

 Doyle and Newhaus are operating one of their claims, fraction near the head of Grass gulch. This piece of ground is conceded by all to be ,alua- ble beyond doubt.
 On the Summit bench Shuler and Black have thawed loo feet through frozen ground. but have not reached bedrock. Such work as this is what develops the country.
 Sutherlands and McQuaid on t.e Surprise bench, have been also hGLdi capped by frost, which, after beng overcome, is followed by living spring which almost makes it impossible to sink. Two months have been spent in this exasperatin. work, with draw backs that would make the average man hesitate before he was well start ed. These are the same gentlemen who were enioined on No. II Dexter last summer, after continuously holding and working it for four years, and which they had purchased with their own hard-earned money. If l were in- clned to be cynical, l should say it were better for them if they find no pay on their present claim.
 On the Bowery claim Messrs. Doyle and Frawley have run tunnel 300 feet into the hill side, and are preparing to take out a liz dump.
 Shumacker, Anderson X Blum are making a big dump on Deer gulch, and will, no doubt, do well.
 Lee Loutlitt and the Folsom brothers are preparing to sink on the Appollo claim near the Sugar, on which they have taken a lay.

 ...News Notes.
WORK BEING DONE

Dexter Creek, Jan. 3.-The advent of the New Year saw few relocators in the hills. This condition is probably the Nsult of several decisions. as to the rights of the original locators, made in the Nome courts during recent months. Notwithstanding, quite few reloca- tions were made, many by the previous locator, who thereby escapes doing his annual asst ssment work. The light was clear and cold, and no one had any trouble at all in making locatiops. A funny incident occurred on Bear gulch, d tributary of Dry creek. While MT. Stanley. who has lay on Bear, and Mir. Daly, who has charge of the same claim, were passing the place at mid- night they were hailed by French man, who asked them if they would kindly witness his location. They read the notice with the aid of a smoky Ian tern, and were surprised to find that he was stalking No. l. But they did not like to disturb his dream and will lingly consentel. The claim is now probably in the market, if the indi> id ual has not been made aware of the joke played on him.
 The holidays passed off very quietly, most of the miners having gone to Nome for Christmas.
 The Sour Dough gave their third an nual holiday dinner to the residents on the creek, and it was well at ended.
 Mir. James O'Sullivan had nice Christmas dinner for his employees, as had also the Honey claim and Suther- land Bros. & McQuail. Needless to say turkey and company had their lit tie say at each of these events.
 Ward and Hasler have quit on the Independence claim alter an almost in- credible amount of work. no less than 40 holes having been sunk, all with the same disparaging result.
 George Cleary is working on the Hay. ner bench, but as yet, has found noth- ing.
 Kelly x Co.,, under the able jurisdic- tion of Al Miller, are fast making a large dump at the head of Grass gulch. The hoist is running necessarily, and between it and the Honey claim honors will be about even.
 Speaking of the Honey, this claim is probably the best equip! ed in this sec

Francis was shirker and had called him bloodsucker, a very common term applied by sailors to a fellow who shirks his duty. For these and several other trivial reasons Fran cis showed his spleen toward me.
 Spearman soon returned from his visit 10 Lr. Hal s tent, and told me 1 was wanted there, he also told the that in any event he was going with me, as he was anxious to part company with the murderer of Coleman.
 Iwalked over to the tent, knowing there was premeditated plan to get rid of me. As entered the tent, which was we'll covered with skins, Hall was sitting at one side of the tent, Lawlor at tho other. I bent down on my knees and waited for Hall to speak. finally spoke first, saying, "You wished to see me, sir"
 "Yes, oh yes," he replied, ''you are the agitator concerning this boat going to Fort Churchill, and have pesuaded Frank not to attempt such a perilous journey: he is going to stay with me, and any of the others who wish to stay may do so, but you, sir, you can't stay here another day; you are the cause oi Pats death, and we have decided to drive you out from among us, and pre- vent you from causiag any more trouble"
