On Candle and on the
 InmaChuk.
A NEW DISCOVERY
Rex Creek, I7 Miles Below Inma. Chuk Promises to Become
 a Great Producer.

Eight or ten steam thawing plants will be operated on Candle creek this winter, according to statement made by R. r. Barden, a business man, who has been in the Candle country for the past two years. Among those who will operate drawers are Sam Pepper, Mcdonald X Mcintosh, Lee Bros. and Rydeen Bros. The latter have fine bench claims; Mcdonald X Mcintosh have done great deal of prospecting, and so has Sam Pepper, and it is ex- pected that Candle creek will have quite cleanup early next spring.
 Mr. Barden also believes that the h. machuk will produce a good deal of gold this winter. A new producer in that section is Rex creek, which enters kotzebue sound about l7 miles below Inmachuk. The original discoverers, sherman and Greene, only located the creek late in September. In what lit tie dirt they handled they picked up a $50 and $l6 nugget, besides quantity of coarse gold. They sent for half dozen or so friends, and eight or ten men will work on the creek the present winter.
 From 80 to loo people will winter at Candle and Keewalik. At Candle there are two saloons, the Northern and the Candle City. There are three stores, those of Froberger X Co.,, R. Roberts and Lindsay S Cameron. t'roberger & Co. also have a store and hotel at KeeWalik

CRAzED WITH
 BAD H007CH"
PitifuI Spectacle Witnessed Last Sunday Night on First
 Avenue.

Of late the number of Eskimos, men and women, to be seen about the streets. in various stages of intoxica- tion, has been large. Last Sunday night Rev. C. F. Ryberg, donning police star, did good work, and as one result Happy Jack" well known native, has been booked on charge of furnishing his fellow aboriglnes with hOotch.
 Last Sunday evening. as Dr. Ryberg was on the way home from church, ac- companied by Miss Ryberg and Capt. Peter Bayne, drunken Eskimo woman, leading a child by the hand and carrying another on her back, fell in the middle of First avenue. She fell upon one child while the one on her back was shot head foremost onto the street like missile from cata- putt. The woman and children were taken to the sandspit, and the services of George Watson secured. Happy Jack was located drunk, and he was taken to the city jail, though he fought like a madman. At the city jail the jailor would not receive him, stating that he had been instructed by the chief of police to not admit arrested drunken natives. However, Happy Jack" was arrested next day, as well as two white men, and locked up in the l federal jail.

STOLE THE
 SHIPS MAIL
Thieves Carry off a Basket Be. longing to Str. COrwin.--It
 Was Recovered.

A Japanese basket, containing mail, the steamer COrwin's papers and ac- counts, and other articles, was stolen Sunday night, either from the beach or from a dory just as it was pushed off CD route to the steamer. It was recov- cred, however, intact, after a lively hunt by Deputy Marshal Lowe and Chief of Police Wallingford. on the back porch or platform of the Hub sa- loon, where it had been hurriedly left by the thieves, who, evidently sur prised in their work of going through the basket, darted through the back door of the saloon, locking it after them, and quietly escaped through the front door.
 About To o'clock Agent F. B. Me Leod and Captain West, of the Corwin, carried the basket down to the beach. It was not missed until the steamer was reached, and MT. Mcleod returned immediately to shore. Lowe and Wall ingford were notified, and in short time they had located the basket. as related above. Nothing had been dis turbed. not even box of cigars at the top of the basket.

touch at several places along the coast, including Valdez.
 Mush ice appeared for the first time Saturday afternoon, and before the Oregon sailed, the next morning, sev- eral belated passengers paid S20 and even $50 apiece to boatmen in order to reach the vessel. In several cases it is related that the boatmen reached the Oregon with considerable difficulty. A number of stowaways were found on both vessels, the larger number being found on the Corwin. Those discov- cred were returned to shore.
 A prophecy foolish prophecy, cir culated concerning the Oregon, was to the effect that she would strike roc k the third day out from Nome and go to the bottom. The dire prediction, it is said, emanated from Seattle seeress, of more or less notoriety, and 1t was used here for all it was worth. Strange as it may seem. 1t is alleged to have been effective in some cases, number of people, mostly women, having for feited the deposits on their tickets rather than take passage.
 The moral of the story is that the foolkiller must have been a long way from Nome recently.
 Last year the Corwin was the last steamer sailing from Nome. She left at noon on November l2, in the teeth of a binding wind, rain and snow storm. The Corwin was also the first steamer to reach Nome from the out side last spring, having arrived on June l5. She was followed next day by the Oregon.

Dr. de Soto, of the de Soto Placer Mining Company, A. V. Dedrlck, Coun- cil City manager of the company, Miss Fitz, D. w. King, of the Council City News, and Capt. Chester left yesterday by team for Council City. Dr. de Soto concluded to remain in this section this winter, in order to study condi- tions at the spring break-up. He is of the opinion that mining operations can be started at least two weeks earlier in the spring, provided everything is in readiness. He figures. therefore, that q good cleanup will be on hand hy the time steamers reach Nome next spring from the outside

BANK DEPOSITS
 APE GREATER
More Money on Deposit Than at the Close of Navigation
 Last Year.

The local banks report more money on deposit than at the close of naviga- tion last year. Acting Manager Tren- gove estimates that the amount of de- posits in the Bank of Cape Nome is considerably in excess of last year when the last steamers left for the out side. Cashier Cowden, of the Alaska Banking x Safe Deposit Co.,, says that, speaking generally, the deposits in that bank are from l5 to 25 per cent greater than at this time in 1902. He adds that the percentage quoted is only approximate, since it is rather early after the close of navigation to make a positive statement.
 There has also been large increase in the number of individual deposits. Loans, however, are alrendy being sought after, gilt-edged security ir most cases being offered, but it is gathered that the banks are fighting shy of loan making just now.

Wireless Telegraph Stations at Port Safety and at
 St. Michael

The latest information concerning the "wireless telegraph situation is contained in the following letter re- ceived by THE NUGGET yesterday from Sergeant Thos. P. Akers, in charge of the office at Port Safety. The letter is dated Oct. 24, and is as follows;
 Editor THE NOME NUGGET. Sir 'It is understood that the report has been circulated in Nome that this sta tion was already working with St.. Michael, and that the system employed was that of the Marconi type.
 ''1 have the honor to advise you that as yet this station is not completed. and no effort has so far been made to obtain inter-cOmmunication with any other point. It is likely that we shall be ready to handle business in two weeks or less, provided the St. Michal end is as far advanced toward comple- tion as this.
 "The system used is not the Marconi | scheme, but one adopted by the govern ment after lengthy and exhaustive trials of all the wireless systems of any repqte. .,u l., ..,

Should the system prove a success a third station will undoubt edly be erected next spring at Golovin bay.

Nome had city council some steps might be taken to compel water dealers to supply as good an article of water as can be had, but the city council has no time to look after the public health.
 In the meantime the water people are compelled to use should be thor oughly boiled, and then it should be boiled again. In this way an epidemic of fever may be averted.
 The time will come when Nome must have d good water supply the year round. Moonlight springs water is eX- cellent, and it has been a godsend to the people of Nome, and the pity is that it cannot be bad in winter. It is possible, however, to pipe the water in winter, but it would entail considera ble expense. Dawson has a water system that seldom or never freezes, even in the cOldest weather, the water in the pipes being kept at an even tempera- ture.

NEW PEST IN HOP FIELDS
Worm Cuts the Vines in Ya rds
Near Salem.

4 correspondent from Salem says;
Some Of the hopgrowers Of this
vicinity are alarmed over the appear
ancv Of u new strange pest which is
said 20 be engaged IN deadly work up
on the new vines Otto Hansen, Of
this city, who owns hop yard near
Oak Grove, in Polk county, reports
the discovery Of n small worm about
the size of u thread and half am inch
in length, which Is cutting the young
sprouts just above the hop roots, and
should the pest become numerous or
general in its attack, the fear is that
it may destroy a large portion Of this
years crop.
james Winstanley, secretary Of the
Hop growers Association, who owns
a yard north Of this city, is said to
have found the same pest, but there
has been no general investigation to
discover whether it exists in all the
yards Of this section, nor has there
been any scientific biography obtained
Of the obnoxious visitor. Specimens
will be submitted as soon as possible
to the entomologist at the Corvallis
Agricultural college for classification
and for the discovery, If possible, Of
some means for its determination.
The importance Of the hop crop
undcr present and prospective market
conditions makes the appearance OF a
threatening pest serious matter In
this great center Of the hopgrowing
industry.

VISITS BY PRESIDENTS
Old Grants Pass Enterta ed
President Hayes and Party.

Theodore Roosevelt will be the third
president Of the United States 10 honor
Grants Pass by his presence. His visit
here will probably be exceedingly brief,
measured by the time ii takes the train
to pass through town and the hour will
DO so late that it Is doubtful II the
people will even get sight OF him. The
other two presidents were Harrison
and Hayes. The train which bore
Harrison stopped here several minutes.
The president appeared for one brief
instant on the back platform, bowed to
the outside air and went back. The
people hurrying to the spot, for Of
course the train did not stop where it
was expected to, caught glimpse Of the
back Of his head as he returned to the
car. Secretary Rusk and Russell b.
Harrison saved the courtesy Of the
occasion and the good humor Of the
people.
President Hayes passed through old
Grants Pass some time in the latter por-
tion Of his administration. At that
time there was no railroad between
Roseburg aud Redding and the presi-
dental party travelled on this portion Of
thoir journey by stage, though in .
private coach. They took dinner at the
stage station Of Grants Pass, kept by
Z. Dlmmick. The people had gathered
from far and near to see the president,
and II was probably the largest gather
ing that ever assembled at the station.

standing out In front OF the little store
when the president, weary probably OF
the dust and iolting OF the coach, came
walking along the road. He made him

easily into their conversation, and
making himself "at home in pleasant

informal reception was held In front OF

Hayes met the people and shook hands
