DROWNED AT
 EAST CAPE
Phil Mclean, an EmpIOye of the North East Siberian Coz
 The COrwin Arrives.

Phil Mclean, an employe of the Northeast siberian Co. at East Cape was drowned near that point five days ago. Mclean was alone in small boat, loaded with provisions. The surf was running high, and the boat was up set and Mclean drowned.
 This news was brought to Nome this morning by Capt. West of the steamer Corwin, which arrived from Kotzebue and points north. On the 18th the COrwin struck fierce gale from the northwest: her pilot house windows were smashed and two boats were torn away. The steamer was encased with ice, and Capt. West was forced to make for the siberian shore, The ice was two feet thick on the forward deck. The Corwin brought down 3l passen- gers from the north.
 She will sail for Seattle October 2J by way of the inside passage.

A PERMANENT
 WATER SUPPLY
Ingleside Water Company Will Undertake to Supply Water
 During the Winter.

The Ingleside Water & Heating Go is the name of new corporation which proposes to furnish the people of Nome with not and cold water during the winter seasen. The originator of the enterprise is H. A. IngafS> for a long time past connected with Sbe Wild Goose Mining X Trading co. Aff..- Ingalls, proposes to pipe water into town from Dry creek, and by the neces- sary appliances keep it at such tenn perature as will enable the water to be delivered to various parts of the city for domestic and fire purposes. He says that the source of supply will be adequate for the present, and he will put in an auxiliary well besides to help out the supply if it be needed. The work has been already commerced, ana within short time Mr. Ingalls, expects to be supplying pure water to all por- tons of the city. The system of keep ing water at an even temperature so as to prevent freezing and ensure sup ply at all times has been in successful operation in Dawson for the past three years.

CAMPED OUT
 ALL NIGHT
Another Experience of We'll Known Millionaire Mine
 Owner in Alaska.

Chas. D. Lane, the veteran president of the Wild Goose Mining & Trading Co.,, and Frank Shaw, superintendent of the company's Ophir creek mining properties, had an experience with this northern climate few nights ago that they will not soon forget. They start ed for Solomon last Saturday on J. J. Sesnon Co.'S gasoline tug. The night being dark, they were landed about two miles this sioe of Solomon. to which they mat their way as best they could. Reaching the river they were unable to cross it; yelling to the opposite shore availed them nothing. The night was cold, and the wind blew 40 miles an hour. Finally they succeeded in kind- ling fire of beach wood around which they tramped until daylight broke. the wind piercing them to the marrow. Mr. Lane's trousers were badly burned through close proximity to the fire that had been kindled, but he bore the ordeal in good shape.

SAD DEATH OF
 ED. |. FE|DLER
SuccumbS to Heart Disease in His Store Early Monday
 Morning Last.

Ed. l.. Feidler, of the Progresso Trading Co.,, died suddenly Monday morning at o'clock from heart dis ease. Mr. Feidler had been in his usual state of good health up to Sun day evening. After taking hot bath he returned to his store, in which he and two of the company's employees also slept, and after eating q couple of muskmelons, he returned to his room. Shortly before o'clock he called to John Taylor. an employe, to get some medicine, which was in bottle in the building. as he was not feeling we'll. Mr. Feidler remarked that he was suf- fering from pains in his stomach. Then he got up and sat by the stove for a few minutes, returning to his room. In a moment or two Mr. Taylor heard him fall. Frank Rooney, of the PrOgresso company, ran to the room, and found Mr. Feidler unconscious. Then he summoned Dr. Rininger, but by the time the physician arrived Mr. Feidler was dead.
 The deceased formerly lived in Terra Haute, Ind He first came to Nome in 1900. His family consisting of wife and two children, reside in Seattle. The body has been embalmed, and will be shipped to Seattle on the Oregon. Mir. Feidler was in comfortable circum- stances, and he carried a heavy life in surance. c. G. Cowden has been ap- pointed administrator of the estate.

NO TRANSFERS TO BE ALLOWED
If a Man Has a Liquor License He Must Use ii Himself or
 Forfeit It.

By recent ruling of the district court it is stated that no transfer of liquor licenses will be permitted this year, although heretofore, such trans fers were allowed. Indeed, it is stated, that liquor licenses issued for Candle were transferred to Bluff City. The law does not state explicitly, however. that transfers may be made, although such has been the custom heretofore. The law provides for rebate if the holder of license decides to go out of business, but in the case of incorporat- ed towns, where the license money is covered into the city treasury, the re- bate clause seems to be imperative. as the money thus turned in cannot very well be returned to the holder of the license.

ney, and he went to look for vein for himself. A short distance from where Hovicl and Vatney had found the ore he located two other veins, one rising sheer along the face of the mountain, so plain that the walls were clearly visible He began development work, after making his loca- tions with results that surprising. The ledge shows quality of tin quartz not hitherto seen in this country. It is strictly ''alive, and is permeated with tin crystals. Arthur Collier, of the United States geological survey, pronounced the rock the best he had seen, and Mr. Nint will forward him a number of samples for further assays.
 Hovick's and Vatney's claims are under bond to Joseph H. Hutchinson, the gentleman from Idaho, who also bonded number of claims on Lost river, York district, in September last, as already told in THE NUGGET
 Mr. Vnt, who spent some years in Cripple Creek, Col, will sail on the Oregon for Seattle, and during the winter will interest capitalists of that place in his Shismaref property with view to developing it next year.
The Nome nugget., 1903-10-21

An eighteen foot tin ledge, from which assays from trace to 69 210 per cent to the ton, was located on July 24 last on Ears mountain, about ten miles from Shismareff inlet.
 Development work conducted since that time shows the vein to be permanent contact between granite and slate. Samples of the ore were brought to Nome Thursday by J. C. Vnt, one of the locators. It is the finest looking tin ore from a ledge that has been brought to this city. The ledge located by Mr. Vnt is Is feet wide. As stated, it is clearly defined, and the samples are pronounced by tin experts to be the best they have seen. A number of the samples may be seen at THE NUGGET office.
 Two lodges were located in the same section last year by A. Hovick, assistant superintendent of the Teller reindeer station and J. Vatney. They did not know what they had found. Last spring Mr. Vint, who is an Englishman, and who is well acquainted with the tin mines of Cornwall, England, went into the Shismaref country. He had seen the samples found by Hovick and Vat

SYSTEM COMPLETED
Wireless Stations at Port Safety and St. Michael Will Soon
 Be in Working Order.

Lieut.. Clifton of the United States signal corps, who came over from St. Michael few days ago and went to Port Safety to inspect the work on the wireless station at tuat place, states that the stations will be in working order in about 10 or F days. All the necessary supplies have been received, and the work of installing the appa- ratus is proceeding rapidly. By the first of next month it may be reason ably expected that Nome may extend congratulations to Seattle and the outside" upon the completion of tele- graphic communication.
 The establishment of wireless sys- tenn of telegraphy between Nome and St. Michael will be watched with con siderable interest. for, after all, it is in the nature of an experiment. though Lieut.. Clifton expresses no doubt as to it's entire efficiency.

Bartels Tin Mining Co.
 Mean Business.
WILL GET TO WORK
Early Next Spring and Establish a Smelling Plant Near
 Tin City.

Among those who sailed for the out side on the last fleet of steamers was w. c. J. Bartels, of the Bartels Tin Company, who have extensive mining interests in, York district. Though an accident prevented the extensive plant installed last summer from being oper- ated successfully, enough development work has been done to show that the company has an extensive body of tin ore.
 Just prior to his departure for the outside MT. Bartels said it was the in- tention of his company to erect smell ter at Tin City early next year.. The coal for the plant will be shipped to Dutch Harbor during the winter, and the necessary machinery will also be shipped to Seattle for transhipment to Tin City early in the spring.
 MT. Bartels, who may be called the original discoverer of tin lodges in York district, is enthusiastic over the outlook. The development work the past season assures him that he has tin in place; his company is financially strong, and they will develop their properties in an extensive manner.
 Mir. Bartels says that the only draw back he has met, speaking by-and- large, is the jumper who this year made his appearapce and attempted to cover ground, already located, with stakes. Harry Burk, well known miner, has been left in charge of the company's property at York.

Country Promising But
 Provisions Scarce.

'The prospects in the Kougarok never looked so bright as at present" said w. F. F. Ellis yesterday. MT, Ellis has been in the Kougarok contin- ually since 1899, and was, for a time, deputy recorder of that district. He says that the mining work done last season was satisfactory. and the coun- try is being slowly but surely developed. Several schemes are aflOat to take water to various sections, which, if completed, will open up large areas of gold-bearing ground.
 "There is scarcely a pound of grub in the district," says Mir. Ellis. "Peo- pie were too busy last summer to bring in their winter supplies, and then there was an early freeze-up. As . result the people up there will be compelled to come to Nome and freight their pro- visions over the snow.
 The California Mining x Trading Co. have big plant and 5O tons of coal on a bench off No. ? Dahl, which will be operated quite extensively this winter.

NOT GUILTY
 OF BLACKMA|L
Verdict of Jury in the Case of United States Against
 Councilman Hill.

The case of the United States vs. Councilman Ed E. Hill, charged with blackmail went to the jury on Thurs day evening, and shortly thereafter the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The case closed at } p. m, and the arguments of counsel began. The defendants attorneys, w. II. Bard and John l.. McGinn addressed the jury in behalf of their client, and the addresses for the government were made by Dis trict Attorney Grigsby and Assistant District Attorney George B. Grigsby. The judges instructions to the jury, while eminently fair. were interpreted by those present as being against the defendant. The court charged distinct ly that the city councils resolution of June 2S, under which the levying of q license tax upon the "women of the town" was authorized, was "utterly illegal,' but the judge stated that the jury was not expected to pass upon the legality of the ordinance.
 Then the jury retired and returned a verdict of not guilty. The first bal lot, it is said, stood to I in favor Of the acquittal of the defendant The following composed the jury: Jas. l.. Mckinney, A. E. Boyd, Thos. L. Hick- Ter, w. E. Bates, Emil kjelsburg, L.. w. Suter, Henry Anderson, J. J. Cole, Miner Bruce, R. B. Zehner, Joseph Ross, F. H. Flynn.

Supplies Are Short.

B. D. Lloyd, who runs hotel and store at Mary's Igloo is in town, hay ing come down overland. MT. Lloyd says, in common with other Kougarok men, that supplies are short in his sec tion. The river closed early and sup plies landed at Teller could not be moved by water to the Igloo. There fore they will have to be freighted overland from Teller and Nome. Probably 50 people will winter at Mary's Igloo. The outlook for the Kougarok section, MT. Lloyd says, was never so promising as at present, the work done the past season being such as to give renewed hope to those who have steadfastly stayed with the coun- try.

CUBAN PROXY MARRIAGE
a Paterson Engineer Secures His Bride
Thru His Fathers Inter

Last week in New York at the Ward
Line dock there was a pretty scene that
brought into prominence an event unusual
on American soil. From Cuba there ar
rived a beautiful dark eyed Cuban girl who
had come to meet the husband to whom
she had been united by proxy.
Rafael .Hidalgo y Lopez, a mechanical
engineer in the Rogers Locomotive Works
Of Paterson, married Senorita Anna Rosa
Fernandez Wegener by proxy in Ha-
vana on Nov. 10, the engineers father talk
ing the place Of his son during the cere-
mony.
The young woman is an orphan and the
engineer met her in Havana, wooing and
winning her in impetuous Spanish fashion.
They separated and family deaths pre-
vented their wedding. The young man
was impatient and asked the girls uncle
by letter if he would consent to a marriage
by proxy. The uncle finally agreed to let
tho engineers father, who was in Havana,
act. r..
The wedding took place in the historic
church of Christobal Colon, and the we'd
ding feast was celebrated at 106 Gale
Teniente de, ,ReN,3 the uncles residence,
where the marriage contract was signed
Thus, satisfied tina tslle had done everything
possible for his niece, the: uncle gave tho
young Cuban his blessing
l. The young people had not seen each
other for three years and their JOY in the
reunion created sympathetic interest ir
the passengers. custom officials and dock
'laborers. The longshoremen made a search
for rice but were obliged to accept barley
as a substitute with which to shower the
ecstatically happy couple as they drove
away for Paterson. =,
