 THE MINES Beach Mining Actively
 Under Way. a FEW ClEANUPS
Some GoldduSt Finding Its Way into the Local Banks--The
 Season is Backward.

Down along the beach below the N. \. T. & T. Co quite a large number of men are buSily engaged in mining. Daring a portion of the day. while the water is running, sluicing is in pro- gress. A number of men who were at work the other day. stated that they were making at least 5 a day; others said they were making better than wages. 1t is certain that d consider able amount of dust will be cleaned up from the beach this spring. West of town as far up as Penny river consider able dirt was taken out last winter, and that IS now being washed up.
 Quite little dust is finding its way into the local banks, but the big vol ume from the spring cleanup is yet to come. The continued clear cold wea- ther for the past few weeks has pre- vented the water from running freely and but little progress has been made. MeanWhic the snow is steadily disap- bearing.
 "lt freezes two or three inches every night out on Anvll creek, said C. H. .Jewett, of Ninal X Jewett, the other day, "and there's little use in trying tC sluice. By the time the ice, made the nig ht before, thaws and the water con- mence, to run, freezing again sets in. This is generally true of different creeks contiguous to Nome, although, more or less sluicing is being done for q few hours daily.
 Word d I,o comes from solomon river that sluicing i, greatly retarded in that section for the same reasons which pre- vent it in this section. "W hat is need- ed said a Solomon rlvor mining man yesterday, lis good, steady southerly wind. That would start the water moving. and it would also start the ice in Bering sea and give steamer u chance to get in if there are any out in the ice-pack. which doubt.'

New Department of Commerce and Labor
THE DISTR BUTTON
Of the Various Branches of the Federal Service, and
 Probable Effect.

With the beginning of the fiscal year, July l. next, many branches of the fed erai service, which to the present time have been under the juri>diciion of he treasury department. will be trans ferrCd to the new department of com merce and labor. These will include the lighthouse board, lighthouse estab- lishment. steamboat inspection service. bureau of navigation, United States shipping commissioners, national bu- reau of standards, coast and geodetic survey, commissioner general of lmmi- grafton, bureau of immigration, immi- grafton service at large and bureau of statistics.
 The immigration officers heretofore have been considered part of the force
The Nome nugget., 1903-05-27

of the collector of customs office, al- though to certain extent working di- rectly with the treasury department.
 Some of the changes in authority went into effect on March l, and others will go into effect at the end of the fs- cal year.
 Under the bill which has been passed it is within the power of the new secre- tary of commerce and labor to appoint a commissioner of immigration, and such commissioners as may be needed for the proper conduct of the work Of any department.
 The change in control of the immi- grafton service is not likely, however, to wholly discover the work of it's in- spectors from that of the customs off cers, except in matters of routine. The violation of the immigration laws in the lated to the violation of the customs laws in the smuggling of opium, that officers of the two branches of the fed eral service must continue as in the past, to work side by side.
 The effect on the lighthouse estab- lishment in the Thirteenth district, will be to transfer control of the offices of the inspectors, now located at Port land, and the lighthouse tenders Colum- binc and Manzanita, to the department of commerce.
 The result of all these changes, it is expected, will soon demonstrate the purpose of the law creating the new department to promote the efficiency of the various branches of the federal service distributed to its control.

 tanCe up Snake River

Up on the right bank of Snake river, just below the Wild Goose Co.'S pump ing plant, Judge ilaGnum has been en- sa- ed for some time past in prospect ing q placer tract owned by hIm- CIfaud others. A hole 46 feet deep was sunk through an aIIul lal deposit, in which cu.Ugs were fouud here and there. At the depth indicated. solid rock was struck, and the udge thought that q big boulder had been encountered. Powder was used to blast the obotruc- tion, and then it was demonstrated that solid ledge of rock had been found
 Further work has exposed one of the walls No assays have as yet been made of the rock, but 1t is d live look ing quartz and is pronounced promising by those who have seen it. Water has been encountered of late. and pump will be put in to exhaust it. and work
 will be continued. Judge Hannum says that the formation shows plainly that the sea once washed over that spot, and he thinks that the presence of the ledge recently found may go to prove the source of the gold found in the sands of the beach hereabouts.

Frank F. Harrison Per.
 ishes in Boring Sea

Frank F. Harrison, son of F.. 5. Har- rison, of the News, was drowned this morning about o'clock in 6 lead in Berng sea. about five miles from shore. Early this morning young Harrison, who was only IS years old, Joe Heery and William Stadacher went out to look for ducks. They shot one and it dropped in the open water. Harrison got into a ilat-bottomed canvas boat, and started after it. He struck the ica with an ore and this tilted th" fralt boat, overturning it and precipltatlng Harrison into the water. Hrery called to him to hold on to the beat while he ran for another boat, and to notify Stadarhpr. who was some distance away. When they returned with the other boat Harrison and the canvas boat had both disappeared. Young Harrison was an excellent swimmer. but he probably became chilled in the icy waters and sank before help ar rived. The young man had been in Nome since the spring of 1901 and had many friends.
 A searching party will be sent out to night at midnight to drag for the body.

HWILL HAUL FREIGHT.
City Railway Making Preparations to
That End.

To enable it to haul loaded freight
cars over it's tracks from all the rail-
ways entering Topeka, the city railway
is constructing a spur down Jackson
street which will connect with the San
ia Fe trucks there. Freight cars from
any and all of the railways entering
Topeka can then be coupled to one of
the big elAetric cars and hauled to any
part of town which the city railway
reaches. Under the city railways
franchise this work must all be done
between midi light and morning. It
opens up a new and profitable field for
the city railway and will cause grief to
the expressmen and transfer companies
which get a large share of their bust
ness by hauling gAaQds between the big
establishments of tlle city and the cars.
The first thing the city railway will
do after connecting with the Santa Fe
tracks is to haul alb the Sells-Downs
circus equipment OFT to VinewOod
park, where it will be stored for the
winter. The circus cars are now
standing in the Santa M yards.
The city railway expetSts to haul the
refrigerator cars loaded with cream for
the Continental creamery right to the
creamery, haul merchandise to the
wholesale houses, factories and mills
which do not at present have railway
facilities. In orderS to- Eeach some OF
these places the company WIN nave to
construct spur tracks where the fran

week.
7 had to come out to Kansas City
and to Kansas on business matters. and
OF course [ am always interested in DO
htical matters out here, so I ran out for
three or four days during the holidays
explained Senator Burton
Do you think Senator Hanna is go
ing to be candidate for the Republi-
can presidential nomination against
Roosevelt?" asked a reporter.
NO, l do not" he replied. My opin-
ion is that Roosevelt will be nominated
by acclamation.'
Whom will the Democrats put up?"
w hoever New York wants, wheth-
er 1t be Hearst or Parker or German.
MY opinion is that it will be Parker.
l think the Democratic ticket will be
Parker and Harrison, and the fight will
be made chiefly in New York, Illinois
and Indiana, although the Democrats
say they are going to try to carry Cali
fornia.
Senator Burton says that he will
push his Appalachian forest reserve
measure soon after congress meets
again, which it will do on next Mon
day. Later he will also agitate his
idea of the storage of flood waters, but
just how he has not yet determined.
The Panama treaty will be ratified

M'CABE'S VIEWS.
Discusses the Melan Bridge
From Several Standpoints.

H. V. Hinckley, the Topeka engineer
and bridge constructor, has changed
his mind about the necessary amount
of waterway for the Kansas river. In
1886, he contended that 600 feet was
the least that could be considered safe.
The bridge was built, however, with
$40 feet waterway. In Mondays State
Journal Mr. Hinckley advocated leav-
ing it at go feet, instead of putting in
a sixth span at the north end OF the
bridge.
Mr. Hinckley said to a State Journal
reporter the other day he had changed
his original views somewhat on several
points in connection with the Melan
bridge, based on his experience in the
construction and the strains with
which the bridge had been subjected.
The following is an extract from a
report dated December 7, 1896, signed
by Mr.. Hinckley and filed with the
county commissioners:
The net width of waterway at the
Rock Island bridge is $50 feet with no
forced change in the direction of flow;
at Santa F'e bridge 705 feet with forced
change of channel. q The plan sWhich
presented in the summer of 1895 gave
net waterway of 800 feet which was
the least l thought safe to recommend.
The average width of net waterway
through the new bridge will be 500
feet
city Engineer McCabe does not agree
with Mr.. Binckley on the proposed
abandonment of the sixth arch scheme.
The present pile bridge is 1873 feet long,
and Mr.. MeCabe thinks that the new
arch should be the full length of this
approach. This will give the river a
waterway 100 feet more than was con-
sidered safe by Mr.. HinckleY in 1896.
City Engineer McCabe today stated
that in his opinion it would be per
fectly safe to run street cars over the
bridge. He seems to be inclined to
favor allowing the cars on the bridge.
under certain restrictions. He says:
7 agree with Mr.. HinckIey in gen
eral on what he says in reference to
the Nelan arch bridge. The running of
street cars over the bridge would not
endanger it in the least. The argu-
ment used against the cars being on
the bridge is not that it endangers the
bridge. but that it endangers the lives
of the people using the bridge, by
horses becoming frightened at the
cars
IF there was railing on the bridge
separating the foot walk and roadway
the danger would be very much lessen
ed. 1 also agree with him that anoth-
er bridge should not be allowed across
the river on Kansas avenue, both on
account of the architectural effect and
because it is a menace to the Melan
arch bridge.
But 1 do not agree with him that
there is no necessity for another span
In my opinion it would be a grave
mistake to rebuild the north embank-
ment. If the north ennbank5nent had
not gone out, there would have been
considerably more damage dome to the
bridge Besides, if we had had a sixth
span we would have had direct com
munication with. North Topeka during
the flood for both foot passengers and
teams instead of being compelled TO
ride over on a cable"

MUST PAY ON S97, 500.
Illinois Life Is Held for Original As
aesSment.

The board of county commissioners
decided Monday afternoon that the Hi
nois Life Insurance company should pay
taxes on the original assessment of $97,-
80 and that the assessment should not
be reduced to SAT 600, as asked for by
George E. Cole, representative of the
company
The Illinois Life Insurance company
objected to being taxed on an assessed
valuation of S97 $40 on the ground that
the assessment was made on the sur
plus of the Kansas Mutual Life Insur-
ance company before that company was
bought by the Illinois Life. Mr.. Cole
claimed that the surplus turned over to
the Illinois Life was SAT 900.
The commissioners decided that as
John E. Moon, secretary for the Kansas
Mutual. had made out the statement of
the property for taxation and as he re-
ported that S97, $40 should be taxed the
commissioners did not think it proper to
change the assessment.
