ON SHOVEL
Many Claims are Being
 Worked.

The claims on West creek from dis covery up to No. are all being worked and are doing well. No. :, the claim of Chas. Kimball, is we'll opened up and is proving exceptionally good. There are ten men at work.
 Big Hurrah is also turning out well and getting good pay.
 H. l.. Wilson is working on No. with four men.
 No. ,, owned by Mir. Libby, is also turning out good pay.
 The new owners of No. 8 have pros- pected extensively and have struck dirt that goes 70 cents to the pan.
 On Willow creek Burton X Tripp are doing we'll. They are getting in supplies and stripping ground for ex- tensive work this winter. They will have steam thawer at work. Westby Wilson is also on this creek sluicing and getting good returns.
 Enoch X Stickenmeyer, on Ruby creek, have a crew of men at work sluicing and getting good pay.
 On Solomon river Butler, Webb, Ewing & Halla are sluicing on their claim, No. 10. They are getting out about $50 to the shovel.
 On No. 9 H. Oelbaum is ground. sluicing. He is getting ready for . large winters work.
 On No. 8 the Northern Mining Com- pany is running steam shovel, and the results are highly satisfactory.
 On No. ! Chase and Reed are work ing day and night shifts, and are get ting good pay.
 Many other claims are being worked in this neighborhood with satisfactory results.
 Moran gulch has good pay, but lacks water. As soon as Giffins' ditch is completed Moran gulch will turn out we'll.
 The Moonlight Ditch Company, of which Mir. Giffin is manager, expects to have the ditch completed in . few days as far as Quartz creek. The claims between Rock and Quartz creek can then be worked. The Shovel creek roadhouse has been enlarged and extensively repaired, under the management of Landlord Pierson. Mir. and Mrs. Chester Wood ruff, the former proprietors, retire with the good will and respect of all their former neighbors. They return to Fort Bragg, Cal, to live. Mir. Wood ruff leaves his Alaskan interests in charge of J. P. Pierson, the new pro. prietor of the roadhouse.

AN0T HEIR BIG
 DITCH PLANNED
The CampiOn Ditch Will Cover Miles of Territory and Carry Volumes of Water From the
 KOugarOk to the Sea at Nome.

supply water for McClennan creek, and David or Pay Streak creeks, the intervening ground and claims further down Nome river. It has been dehon- strated that this entire area is rich enough to pay well for hydraulickinS purposes.
 It is the intention of the company to run the large ditch from Buffalo creek down to Nome supplying the points along the entire line down as far as King mountain, upon which q reservoir will be built, and the water supplied to Anvil, Glacier, Dexter and Dry creeks and their tributaries. This line of ditches will supply volume of water at a sufficient height to wash away the hills and valleys along the lines as far as necessary.
 Campion ditch at the head of Buffalo creek, has Il volume of 3000 inches of water loo feet above sea level. The ditch along the center and right forks of Sinrock will supply an additional 5000 inches of water to the volume. From Grand Central an added supply of 5000 inches will enter into the Cam pion ditch, l50 feet above the highest diggings.
 Thus the Hattie, Snowflake and Sugar claims can get volume of 5O0O inches with a fall of l50 feet or more. The water supply of Nome is thus as. sured for the future, as pressure ol from 2l0 to 375 pounds to the square inch is certain through the Champion ditch. Of the lower ditch eight feet wide and two feet deep, eight miles has already been constructed, leaving only four miles more for the season. The large Campion ditch is 325 feet above the diggings and it will give a tremen- dous volume of water at a high pres sure. These ditches will enable many people to hydraulic claims of low grade dirt that could not otherwise be worked at q profit.
 This line of ditches covers many 1 lbllSS Oii .oiitoSh- A>oihN' NDhHnSb IT grim and Grand Central rivers, Salmon lake, Dorothy, Buffalo, Hobson, David, Dexter and Anvil creeks, much of the best country in and around Nome.
 Mir. Campion has a force of l06 horses and 65 men now at work on Campion ditch, and he hopes to get much of this line completed this fall. This entire line has been staked, and was surveyed by F.. Franklin Lewis, United States deputy surveyor. Most of the entire line of ditches are now started, and many of them will be we'll under way this year. It is expected that the en- tire line will be ready for use next sea son, and will open for hydraulicking much of the country in and around Nome.

ALASKA NEEDS
 MORE AID
Ex.GOv. SwinefOrd Thinks Con- gress Ought to Double Alaska
 Exhibit Appropriation.

Ex-Gov. Swineford believes that con- gress ought to be more liberal for the Alaskan exhibit. He expresses him. self in this manner:
 "My understanding is that the con gressional appropriation is to be used in the erection of an Alaska building. All the money will be expended for this purpose, and at least as much more would be required to utilize the build- ing with such an exhibit as could be made by Alaska. 1 do not see from where the money for this is to come, unless congress at its next special or regular session makes the necessary appropriation.
 Ut would be more sensible to leave the proposed Alaska building entirely out of the consideration, if that could be properly done and space secured in the mines building and the S50,000 sp- propriated by congress used for the purpose of making an exhibit.
 Tn case Alaska had territorial gov ernment at the present time, with power to collect, levy and disburss taxes, the present situation would not long exist.
 "Ketchilian and Soutl eastern Alaska. properly speaking, is developing now what l consider the greatest copper and gold mining district on earth.
 If the present developments con tinue, the copper mines of the Ketchi- kan district will dictate the price of copper throughout the world, for tho ores carry gold enough to pay all costs of equipment and production, leaving copper as q by-product that has cost nothing,'

TWO MURDERS REPORTED
The Report of the Particulars of Two Cases of
 Murder As They Have Just Reached Nome.

For some weeks Nome has heard more or less about the murder of two white men by an Indian up in the Nu- lato country. The facts have just been reported. Two white men was owned q steam launch came down the river some weeks ago, They hired an Indian pilot with whom they had previously had trouble. He believed that they had alienated the affections of his wife. On the way down the river they quar- reled repeatedly and attempted to take advantage of the ignorance of the h. dian. Finally he became so enraged that he shot both of the men and then to hide his crime cut the arms and legs off from the body and threw them into the river. As the story goes the blame is largely to be thrown upon the white men who took advantage of the ignorance of the Indian and his wife.

GOV. BRADY
 RETURNS
Believes That Alaska Will Have a Worthy Exhibit at St. Louis
 Despite the Delay.

Gov. John c. Brady returned to Seat tie from the East, where he has been for several weeks, arranging the plans for the Alaska exhibit at the St. Louis fair with Secretary Ryan. From Seat tie Gov. Brady went to St. Louis, where he met Secretary Ryan, and together they selected a site for the Alaska building. Later they went to Wash ington. In speaking of the result of his trip, Gov. Brady said:
 "The exhibit of Alaska will be in the hands of Alaskans. The details of the arrangements which made with Sec retary Ryan in regard to the exhibit l am not in position to speak of at pres ent.
 "Much misunderstanding over the Alaska exhibit has caused delay, but I want to see the kinks straightened out. l n the first place, let me say Alaska has no truer friend than Secretary Ryan, and her people may feel sure that he will have nothing but her best interests in view.
 "The secretary and secured very desirable site for the Alaska building, across from the Administration build ing. am very much pleased with the outlook which our territory now has for making creditable display" It is understood that the money ap- propriated for the Alaskan exhibit by congress will be expended in the cree. tion of building, and the exyense of making and preparing the exhibit will be met by the contributions of private individuals.

tory is marked. Last Tuesday morn- ing the congress met in the big pa viliOn at Leschi park, and addresses were delivered by delegates from a number of states and territories, the editor of THE NUGGET being chosen by the Alaska delegates to say some thing about Alaska. He did, and, if one is to judge by the applause re- ceived and the numbers of questions asked concerning the Great Country, ; his remarks were to the point and were appreciated.
 Everybody wants to know about Alaska, and many of them are being gradually informed. Alaskans as a rule quietly tell the people of Seattle that the great Northland has made their town: that it is monument which the Northland has been instru- mental in erecting on the shores of Puget sound.
 Tomorrow the Alaska delegation will introduce a resolution asking the con gress U endorse territorial government for Alaska. The question was brought up today in a meeting of the delega- ton, and it carried, the only dissenting vote being cast by Gov. Brady, who says he has something better up his sleeve for Alaska--to wit: Statehood instead of territorial form of govern ment. But the governor does not state when or how such desirable consum- nation will be achieved. Gov. Brady also announced that he would oppose the resolution with all his might and main. on the floor of this congress, when it comes up for debate, which will be tomorrow. Of course the result is in doubt, but the resolution favoring territorial government will probably be carried.
 There have been many good ad dresses made at the meeting of the Commercial Congress, among them be- ing those made by Hon. John Barrett, St. Louis worlds fair commissioner, who has been recently appointed min ister to Argentine and United States Continued on page A.

Enough has been developed so far ditches of the Campion Mining and Trading Company is one of great i'm portance to Nome, and indeed to the entire Seward peninsula. Not only will all the river country north of Nome be benefited by this line of ditches, but the creeks and lakes as well will contribute to its volume.
 The Campion ditch will run from the headwaters of Buffalo creek. HOO feet above the sea level. This is the big ditch, and is called the Campion. It forms horseshoe around both sides of the headwaters of the Nome river, and runs from the Sawtooth mountains. It runs around the head of Divide creek. a tributary of Nome river, and also at the head of Stewart river. The right and center forks of the Sinrock are also covered by this ditch and forms q junction with the Campion, making the ditch IS feet wide and 5 feet deep, forming a canal in the mountains at the right limit of Nome river. For a distance of seven miles this canal runs along the line of claims owned by T.. A. Campion and the CampiOn Mining and Trading Company until it reaches Dorothy creek. one of the richest in this entire region. The creek and benches are owned largely by the com pany, who thus control both water and claims. The Campion Mining and Trading Company and T. A. Campion have claims along the line of their ditches aggregating 6,500 acres. The big ditch forms q horseshoe around this entire section.
 The lower ditch commences at the mouth of Hudson creek and continues down the side of the mountain on the right limit of Nome river. crossing Divide creek near the head and thence to Dorothy creek. This line of ditches will cover the Campion Mining and Trading Company's holdings, and as sures them of plenty of water for their own use. as well as for others that may wish to use it.
 Another ditch starts from Grand Central river, a tributary of Salmon Lake, and runs around the mountain, connecting with the Campion ditch or the canal running from the Sawtooth range, near the headwaters of Nome river. Still another ditch starts from a lower point of Grand Central river, the water from which will be used in carry ing away the debris or tailings.
 Another line of ditch begins at the same point on Buffalo creek, will run around the foothills of the Sawtooth connecting with the ditch from the Grand Central and continuing along the left limit of Nome river This will

SHAMROCK HAS
 ALLOWANCE
The Tremendous Spread of Can vas Gives the English Yacht
 a Small Handicap.

New York, August lS.-The Reliance and Shamrock III. were measured to- day in the Erie basin by c. k. Mower, the official measurer of the New York Yacht Club. AS the result of his mea- surements and calculations it was an- nounced tonight at the yacht club that the Reliance would allow the chal- lenger one minute and forty-tive sec onds over thirty-mile course.
 It was found that the Shamrock was slightly longer on the water line than the American boat, but the latter proved to have nearly 1000 more square feet of sail area than the challenger and it was this enormous sail spread that taxed the American boat so heav- fly.
 The first race was to have been sailed August 20.

"H-m.m," she unused, "'tis a good

The tiny occupant Of the cot, whose
life might have been rcckoned by
weeks, stirred uncasily. Mrs. Maguirc

And AIilie-God rest his soul-bendinS

TITS neither chick nor child that's left
to me this day"
She lifted the hem Of the baby's
dress and wiped the small face tender
ly where her tears had splashed on it.
With trembling mouth she passionately
kissed each sole of the tiny, wrinkled
feet, grooming broken words of love.
Something was born in the face of
the woman who watched her. 1t grew
into tigerish hunger in the eyes
which followed Mrs. Maguire's every
movement. The latter rose to go.
"You must excuse me, ma'am," she
said alphabetically. IF you'd had Il
little gerl and lost her, you'd know
how it brings it all back" She turned
toward the door.
"Givc me the child"
Mrs Mcguire fell back. Instructive

neck and her hand upon 1t in prOtec-
