Hill and Stevens again differed on this motion. Stevens thought that a warrant call should be issued at once. Hill differed from Stevens and thought the council should hang on to the money as long as possible, and that nc warrants be issued till after the boats go out, so the money should be kept in Nome for the winter. This led to an argument between the two councilmen, and Stevens threw a shot at Hill on his being indicted for blackmail. Hill told Stevens he was very lucky not to be indicted himself, and that there was still chance

 Men Who Met Death in
 an AtrOciOus Manner

In THE NUGGET of Sept. 26 was pub lished an exclusive account of the kill ing of two natives in July last on the Koyukuk, the murderer being 'medi- cine man," who afterwards hanged himself at Nulato. The names of the murdered men were not known at that time. According to the Fairbanks News of Sept. 26, the victims of the native were Harry Hutton and Jack Coy. In the same issue of THE NUG- GET was told the story of the finding of 8 dismembered body in the Yukon, and, according to the Fairbanks News account, the body thus found was that of one of the men murdered by the na- tive. The News says;
 "Early in the spring Harry Hutton and Jack Coy outfitted a small launch at Fort Yukon for long prospecting trip up the KOyukuk. They had pro- ceeded leisurely on their way as far as the Indian village at the mouth of the Dolmakakit, about 100 miles up from the Yukon. They are supposed to have reached this point about the lst of July.
 However, while they were~in camp there, the cupidity of the medicine man of the tribe was excited by the magnifcence of the outfit and the abundance of stores, and he hastily summoned the tribe to consultation, or hearing, rather. At this meeting he warned all the tribe to depart in stantly for some other village, and told them never to mention, either then or at any other time, the transactions at

THE COLONY
 IS PRACTICAL
Rev. (. E. Ryberg Tells What It Is Proposed to Accomplish
 for the Natives.

Editor of THE NUGGET: am sorry the Nome habit Of "knocking" is so unkind as to apply itself to the unseltish effort to care for the poor natives in Nome and vicinity. The work at the Quartz creek mission has not been un- dcrtaken without due deliberation and forethought. I do not care to enter into any polemics with anyone as to the practicability and wisdom of this work. But will say this, that have personally inspected Sinrock and know it to be undesirable, for very good req sons. Our plan is mainly one of help ing the natives to help themselves, to induce them to leave Nome, and to rescue them from the 'squaw men" and the whisky peddlers. With re- spectable village of their own, with home comforts, school and industrial training, we hope to prove to the peo- pie of Nome that the Quartz creek col ony will prove a blessing to the natives and credit to those who have come nobly forward, not with their little hammers" but with substantial sym pathy. With the sealing and fishing facilities at Sledge island and Cripple and SinrOck rivers, 1 have estimated that respectable colony of from POO to 300 natives can be maintained, espe- cially since we expect to establish a reindeer sub-station 20 miles distant There are two lagoons near the colony containing several thousand cords of wood. There is a fine perennial spring at the mission uearly as large as Noon light springs. I think the ''old settler' was sincere in the things she wrote in Wednesdays NUGGEf. but I am sure the work of the Quartz creek mission will prove that she was wrong.

THE KETTLE AND THE POT AT WAR
Councilman Stevens Wants the Indulgence Resolution of Which He Was One of the Authors, Repealed edComciman Hill Objects and
 War Between the Two Worthies is Result.

At the regular meeting of the coun- cil on Monday night, Stevens stated that in regard to having sporting women" examined twice during each uonth-an ordinance by the council at their regular meeting on June %, when the voting showed Bard, Hill, Rowe and Stevens in favor of the examin- ations, and President Rustgard against it-he thought at that time it was a very good thing. He had been it cities where it was necessary, but in such a cosmopolitan town as Nome this prac- tice might be abused. It had already brought disgrace on the city, and par ticularly on some of the members of the city council. He now moved that the resolution be abolished and re- pealed.
 Hill stated that Stevens had seen fit at this time, because he had attempted to do his duty, and was now indicted by the grand jury for blackmail, to throw a slur at him. He further stated that he had acted in good faith, and if any thing could be proved against him he was willing to resign from the council and receive the punishment he deserv- ed. While he is health officer he would object to the resolution being repealed. He was surprised at a brother coun- cilman trying to make scapegoat of him, and thought it poor taste to try and kick man when he was down.
 Stevens: 'I did not intend to make any remarks against Councilman Hill. Dr. Hill promised me he would have the resolution repealed if he was ex- onerated by the U. s. Commissioner"
 Hill denied ever making such re- mark to Stevens or anyone else; and while Mayor Bard was calling the two councilmen to order, Hill reminded

mediation of the great nu N Der of people
who are at present and will annually
continue to witt the great gorge. For

under way. We understand that bids
will be opened in Los Angeles on July

This will be about a l0J00JS contract.
At Grand View, some sixteen miles
east of Bright Angel, large hotel is
now under coarse of construction, and
about the 1st of August a force of men
will be put to work erecting 2l-room

still further east. To the west at Mys-
tic Springs trail, large hotel will be
erected, while from Bright Angel to
Cataract Canyon wagon road, such as
can later be used for sn electric car
line, is being constructed. This road
will be operated by electricity gener-

be installed in Cataract canyon. 1t is
the intention of the promoters to con.

News comes from San Bernardino
this week that Joseph Lavore, an aged
miner, had succeeded in pounding out
nearly 500s worth OF gold from his
mine with q hammer 10 less than six
weeks. The old man has for years
been working the property, which is
situated in holcomb valley, and six
weeks ago he decided to use hammer
to pound out the gold. The other day
he set out on foot for that place, 60
miles away, carrying the lump of gold.
When he arrived the sight of the
treasure created some excitement. He
offered it for sale, without weighing,
for 21os, and failed to firld a purchaser.
Then he took 1t to the bank, had it
weighed and sold it fer 498.5Cs. He
has rich ledge of the ore and, after
depositing his money in the bank, pur'
chased few mining tools and started
back to the mountains, intending to
pound out more gold. This is the
second time this week that miners
have come in with Jumps of gold which
they have secured with the ham ner.-

ROME, July 24.-The nearer the con.

tinct factions are shown in the sacred
college, especially among the cardi-
nails of the Cura, that is to say those
living in Rome, but in which the car
dinals from the provinces as we'll as
the foreign cardinals cannot help par
ticipating.
These two factions spring from the
personality OF Cardinal Rampolla. If
Rampolla finds that on the first ballot
he has a considerable number of votes
he will try again. If he has few votes
and one of his opponents has many,
he will renounce his chance and he
and all his friends will support, first,
Cardinal Gotti, with whom he has now
come to such an agreement, and at
tempt to raise Gotti to the supreme
Office, with Rampolla as an ally. This
would mean the maintenance of Pope
Leo's policy on exactly the same lines
and entrusted to the same men.
