The Nome nugget., 1903-07-01

lower Dominion is described as brilliant by Chauncey Boyer, the well known hockey player, who is operating No. v below lower. The summer operations, he states, will be on a heavy scale and a large amount of ground will be turned.
 A great deal of shallow ground is found in the adjacent ground of lower Dominion. Boyer states that it is being opened up and put in readiness for ground sluicng. The deep diggings are at a depth of forty feet while the shallow diggings are from the grass roots down. One digging is above the other, giving two separate channels of pay.
 In the suit instituted by Frank Phis- cator against his wife in the territorial court for the recovery of $7,C00 in gold dust, Mr. Justice Craig this morning issued an order that Mrs. Phiscator should pay the dust into court within twenty-four hours after the service of the order.
 Billy Williamson, a '94 pioneer, who resides at 32 above, has commenced his speciality of treating black sands with chemicals. By this means, which is with him u secret, he claims he can ex tract more gold than can be done by any other process yet invented.
 Arrivals from Fortymile state that Tracy Hope, well known in Dawson, is prospecting on the high benches of the Fortymile river in the neighborhood of Nugget gulch. Pans averaging from three to five cents have been found on the high ground by Hope. One pan he found went 96 cents. It is hoped by some of the admirers of FOrtymile country to see the high benches prove great payers.
 Twelve pans of gravel taken eighteen inches from below the surface from Helve different holes on discovery on Minto creek, the newly discovered stream tributary to the Mayo Stewart river district, yielded fifty cents. The twelve holes were at different places along the full length of the claim on one side, the left limit, of the creek.
 Nickels and dimes float into the Dawson postotiice at the rate of S5 to $l0 worth d week. The diminutive coins practically demonetized in general business circles in the Yukon, are not allowed to go back into circulation. They are sent to the banks by the post master, and the banks immediately send them to the cheechaco world again.
 Any coin less than p cents in value has no standing and commands DO re- spect in klondike. and the penalty is immediate deportation on sight. Hence, what it means to be made to feel like ten cents in Klondike needs no argu- ment.
 w. J. Idleman, who was arrested at the Fortymile boundary line d few days ago on the charge of embeZzlement, is at Eagle awaiting the arrival of United States Marshal Perry. Idleman is not in jail. This is the information brought by Frank w. Clayton, deputy United States Marshal from Steele creek, who arrested Idleman and took him to Eagle. Idlemun was deputy collector of customs at the boundary, and was arrested upon teiegra phic instructions received from the outside. He was appointed from Oregon.
 The exodus of men and women of the under world to the lower river con tinues. The Rock Island carried several more, and the population of this stripe has been SO diminished that Dawson never before was so free of the gentry. The crowd leavin. on the Rock Island seemed to have no common destination. Various destinations were taken, rang ing from Eagle to Nome.
