FROM THE
 KOUGAROK That Section Coming to
 The Front. SOME RICH GROUND On Dahl Creek and the Adjoining BencheS--A Big Spring
 Cleanup.
SOME RICH GROUND

The whole Kougaroll section i, look- ing up,' said Judge NJ. ]. Cochran yes terday. He had just returned from Dahl creek, where he spent some time.
 "There i, no question about the high value of the gravel on Dahl creek on all claims which have been opened up. It is fact that there is Il large body Of gravel on No. Dahl. owned by Olsen and arnall. that runs from IO cents to S2GO to the pan. Last fall five men, working A tcn-hour shift. cleaned mp Sj2oo Work has been carried on on this claim all winter, and there will be big cleanup this spring. l believe the spring cleanup in that section will reach S2Oo,000.
 The season is late, and miners are continuing their work in orGer to get out aS much dirt as possible for sluicing when the water comes. There are dumps out on Steiner's bench off No. 5 Dahl: Martin Dahl and Al Casey have dumps out on the bench off the lower half of No. .: Grift Iarnall and x. r. Olsen have another off No. on the left limit. Work elsewhere on Dahl is mainly confined to prospecting and sig ing up their claims. Work is also under way on the left limit of Quartz at the mouth of Dahl. on No. Quartz, and the second and third tiers of No. 3 and Dahl. where Olsen and Cochran have been working. The outlook is good. Bedrock is reached at Il depth varying from Is to - feet. The fuel supply has been inadequate. People have nothing to fire with except will lows and small amount of coal and crude oil brought in by x. P. Olsen.
 But as have said the whole coun- try is looking up. There has been more work done by steam drawers the past winter than ever before in the his tory of that section. Homestake, Eldo- rado, a tributary of the north fork. Trinity and Columbia creeks are all being prospected with promising re- suits. Nearly all the creeks north of Arizona are being prOspected and pay streaks are being shown up."
 r. l.. Eddy, accompanied Judge Cochran down from the kougarok. The trails are in bad condition.
 The Norwegian residents of Dahl creek duly observed Norwav's $ indepen- Gence on May r., N. P. Olsen serving ten gallons of punch to guests at the roadhouse. A stag dance was enjoyed during the evening.

As will be noticed elsewhere in these columns Councilman ". H. Bard an nOunceS himself candidate for the office of municipal magistrate. This office Mr. Bard has filled for some weeks in a manner alike creditable to himself and satisfactory to the city. His services have been purely gratui- tous, he having rendered them owing to the straitened financial condition of the city. The amendments to the civil code. passed at the late session of con- gress, confer upon tine city the right to elect municipal judge, as well as give 1t an additional source of revenue. Judge Bard's frienGI, who have urged him to make the race for municipal magistrate, feel that he is entitled to the position by virtue of his past ser vices. His well known integrity of character and honesty of purpose are known to all who have for the past four or five years been associated with him or who have been his fellow citizens. He is public spirited and fair and inn partial at all times, and it is predicted that he will not only be elected to the office, but that his services will in every way be satisfactory to the people of Nome.
