 AFFAIRS A Mix-up in the Record
 CTS Office. NEEDS ADJUSTMENT Boundaries of District Never Have Been Clearly Defined--SOme
 Very Good Ground.
NEEDS ADJUSTMENT

Shunnak River, Alaska, May 5.-1 ask you asa favor to publish few lines for the benefit of those who.may intend. coming to this section; also in regard to the circumstances of the trouble here, and a few words about the strike on the Shunnak.
 At present there are quite a few min CTS here, but rather a scarcity of pro- visions, but think we will have enough to last until navigation opens. But about the trouble here, almost due to the new commissioner, MT. Frost, com
 ing here and stating to the miners that he was the U. s. commissioner, but he furnished no kind of proof until about a month later when 1 received my order of removal from the court at Nome; further, one day Mir. Frost received the books of the district and next day he declared them void. Actions of this kind are causing hard feeling amongst the miners who paid their money in good faith, as it has been proven to the boys here that the right commis- sioner was Geo. w. Debus, until May 3,
 when he received his order of removal. There is mistake of the court at Nome as to the bearings of the country, and that the Amber river is the longest, which is not correct. The Shunnak is
 by many miles the longer river accord ing to descriptions given in Nome since 1902, the Red River district, or rather what was formerly that district, comes in farther down the Kobuk than Mani look, which is situated many miles in 8 northeast direction, about 40 miles dis tant from Reilly camp. According to the description given in 1901, in the ap-
 pointment of the U. S. commissioner, Reid River district took in the Shun-
 nak and Amber rivers, both bearing almost due north from Reilly camp,
 with all the tributaries. So it will be seen it is almost impossible for person
 to know which is,right'er wrong. We are, therefore, waiting a special com
 missioner, with bounds and clear des- cription of Noatak and kOwak pre- cincts, as nothing can be done here at present. it appearing that U. s. Com- missioner Frost doesn't understand his
 business, which leaves the district in very bad shape. That the court at
 Nome must have received letters from Geo. w. Debus, but refused to recog-
 nize them, is known.
 There is some good ground around
 here, if ever things get cleared up. GEO. w. DEBUS.

The Season Will Prob.
 ably be Short.
SNOW IS VERY DEEP
And the Ice in the Keewalik Has Shown no Signs Yet of
 Breaking Up.

Under date of May l4-a friend of THE NUGGET's, writing from Candle says: "The winter has passed quickly. but now time is dragging: the weather is still quite cold and the snow goes but slowly. The chances are now that the Keewalik river will not open before June, while at this time last year it was entirely clear of ice. The mining sea- son will, no doubt, be d short one.
 ''The winter work that has been done on Candle has proven very satisfactory. Wherever prospecting with a thawer has been done, pay has been found. Some places are rich, but how exten- sive remains to be determined. At present there are six drawers at work on the creek, and $. A. Pepper expects to start another in few days.
 "The first Protestant church services in Candle were held last Sunday in Ping Pong hall by MT. and Mrs, Dana Thomas, missionaries at Cape Blossom, who were here."
 A correspondents at Candle also writes as follows: "The weather is pleasant here. but the snow is very deep and thaws very slowly. I am very much afraid we ewill have 8 late season. As things look now we may not. have a boat before August. During the last month there has been quite D bit of work done on the creek and some good prospects have been found, go Candle may turn out all right after all.'
