 An epidemic of a hitherto unknown disease has broken out in Council, and three patients have already been dis abled or confined to their rooms, by the malady. These are Tommy Peterson, Chester Kelly and Fred Bittner. The medical faculty have pronounced the disease to be form of "pedaltack, and while it is dangerous, it is only in very rare instances that it proves fatal. It is not considered contagious, but sometimes results in blood poisoning and is contracted through stepping on an un''0 ~>ck whsp bare footed. or walkl..., al. .-..rnverted nail when wear ing shoes of rubber or other material Of insufficient resisting power.
 The first sluicing of the season was commenced "Wednesday afternoon last on Sweetcake creek. Messrs. Hanson, Keenan and Tufts, who are operating under lay on the bench opposite No. below Discovery last winter piled up an immense dump of pay dirt. The gravel being unirozen and water run r'rg over the ice, they were enabled 10 sta, the ball rolling towards the sea sons prosperity.
 Water is running freely on Ophlr creek, but the ice ha, not yet started to move. On Wednesday afternoon Dutch creek broke loose and about five sluice heads of water are running on the t"p of the ice. Other tributaries of Ophir are also running.
 A strike of more or less importance has been made on the benches Of Dixie creek, a tributary of the Casadepoga. Miller and Ga,len, Ou bench off No. l below, on this stream, have sunk sev- eral holes during the past winter, and have struck a body of what they con sider fair pay dirt.
 A number of men are delving in this section, and their labors have revealed the existence of large strata of low grade gravel. Considerable prospect ing is also being done at the mouth of GOidbottOm creek. Snow is reported to be very deep in the Casadepoga sec tiOn, and the ice on the headwaters of the Neukluk is many feet thicker than that of any previous year.

In 1890 First Vessel Got
 in on July 10.

Speaking of the ice-pack of Bering sea-" said an old-timer yesterday, "Capt. Chester, a well-known navigator of these parts, told me last year that in 1890 he was unable to get into Nome and Go]ovin bay until July 10. He was then in command of 8 schooner and he and others lay for weeks at St. Law renee island trying to reach this coast. Thetce-pack was too heavy for them. Capt. Chester had supplies for Capt. Green, who was then attempting to open up the Fish river silver mines. The season, as he recounted it, must have been a good deal like the present one; there was an absence of southerly winds. and the ice simply routed away. It may be that the present season will
