Wireless System May be
 a Success.
WORK IN PROGRESS
Failure to Receive Proper Equip. ment From Outside Has
 Caused the Delay.

There is hope yet for wireless com- munication between St. Michael and Nome, according to statements made yesterday by Chas. A. Wilson, of the United States Sigma, corps, who is stationed at St. Michael, and Sergt. ThOs. r. Akers, of Port Safety.
 Mir. Wilson arrived Monday from St. Michael, stopping en route at Port Safety, where he examined the wire less station. He left St. Michael on Dec. }.
 "I am confident" he said 'that the system will work all right when we have all the appliances here. The necessary supplies did not reach us last fall, some of them being on the dis abled steamer Meteor, which failed to reach Nome or St. Michael. We. therefore, have had to improvise many things in order to get the stations 'in step" with each other, and believe it will be only short time before the stations are in working order, and mes sages will be received and transmitted. came over from St. Michael to con- pare notes and to see how the Port Safety station was getting along, and found it in good shape.
 At St. Michael new instruments are being put in place, and l believe that in g short time you will be receiving messages direct from St. Michael.

PROSPECTORS
 ARE EXEMPT
May Kill Game at Any Time When in Need of
 Food.

There seems to be an impression that the game law regarding the kill ing of ptarmigan has been extended from Dec. l5 to Jan. 1. Through the courtesy of the district attorneys office THE NUGGET is enabled to state that no such change has been made. The secretary of agriculture, however, who, under the law, is authorized to make changes which are deemed necessary, has issued a circular under date of Aug. 22, 1903, which makes exemptions in favor of miners, Indians, Eskimos and explorers, as follows:
 Purpose of the Law.-The object of the act is to protect the game of the territory SO far as possible. but without causing unnecessary hardship; hence Indians, Eskimo, miners or explorers actually in need of food are permitted to kill game for their immediate use. The exception in favor of natives, miners and explorers must be con- strued strictly. It must not be used merely as pretext to kill game out of season, for sport or for market, or to supply canneries or settlements, and under no circumstances can the hides or heads of animals thus killed be law fully offered for sale"

COLD RUN
 QUARTZ LEDGES
A Gold Run Miner Brings Down a Number of Samples From
 That Section.

Gold Run is coming quartz coun- try,' said T. H. Dunkin yesterday. Mr. Dunkin reached Nome from Gold Run Monday. He is extensively inter- ested in that section, but the past sea son was not a favorable one. Twice last summer Mir. Dunkns dam on Gold Run was swept away, once the sluice boxes being carried down to Grantley harbor. Mr. Dunkin, however. says that the Gold Run country is all right. Next spring will witness the construc- tion of at least one ditch system. which will open up d large amount of gold bearing ground. The gold output next year therefore promises to be by far the greatest in the history of the Blue stone section.
 MT. Dunkin brought down with hiin a number of samples of quartz, which he is inclined to think will show good values. Assays are now being made at local assay office. There are lodges in the Bluestone section that will prove big producers within a very few years, y he said yesterday, ''and it will not take great deal of capital to open them up. The era of quartz mining in this section of Alaska will surely follow placer mining.'

In Case of MCGinn yS.
 Strong for Libel
JURY STOOD 8 TO 4
A Compromise Offered Whereby the Plaintiff Was to Get S45
 Damages. --Refused

After being out three nights and case of McGinn vs. Strong came into court yesterday morning at ll:l5 and reported that it was impossible for them to reach an agreement. The court asked Foreman James L. Me Kinney how they stood on general vote, stating that he did not wish to know in whose favor the majority vote stood. Mir. Mckinney said the jury stood to 4, and 10 to , in regard to compromise. The court then stated that the jurors had worked hard and end thls way. Thereupon they were discharged.
 It is understood that the jury stood s to in favor of the plaintiff, and on the offer of compromise of damages of $l00 two jurors refused to agree, but stated they would stand for s45 and no more, in order to end the case.
 On Monday morning the jury first came into court, and Foreman McKin- ney then stated that the jury could not agree and he didn't think there was any hope of doing so. Juror J. C. Muther addressed the court, stating that he believed, if given more time, they could reach verdict. Juror Plumb said he did not think so, and after few questions by the court the jury were sent back to their room in the Golden Gate hotel.

 TRAIL GUIDES
Telephone Poles May be Used Be. tween Nome and Head
 of Dry Creek.

II. A. Ingalls,. who iS constructing a telephone service from Nome to the head of Dry creek. contemplateS nov ing the poles now already up, to the staked trail used by freighters. The idea was suggested that these poles. if on the trail, would make permanent guides. Mir, Ingalls, willingly consented to make the change, asking only that those interested pay the cost of remOv- al. Subscriptions are being taken for a fund for this purpose, and the desired change will doubtless be made, which will result in prominent, visible guides for belated freighterS and ''mushers. There will necessarily be much travel between Nome and the Dry-DeXter di- vide this uter as the latter place is the scene ol much mining. A perma- nent trail, such as these poles would make, becomes therefore, matter of necessity.
