 Al. A R M Mob Rule Expressed in
 Lynclling. MUST NOT PREVAIL
Rule by Mobs Will Undermine Ali Law and Government, and
 Will Defeat Justice.

Justice David !. Brewer, of the supreme court of the United States, has contributed to Frank Leslic'e Weekly an article on the increase in the of lynchings in this country, and on revolutionary change in our laws which he thinks might have a remedial effect.
 Justice Brewer, whose words must always command the most respectful and thoughtful attention, advocates the abolition of the right of appeal in causes. He says, with great force and truth:
 "Alen are afraid of the laws delays and the uncertainty of its results. Not that they doubt the integrity of the judges, but they know that the law abounds with technical rules and the courts will often reverse d judgment of conviction for disregard of such rules, notwithstanding full belief in the guilt of the accused"
 The eminent justice therefore recon mend, the adoption of the English rule of criminal jurisprudence which per mits of no review of the proceeding, of the trial court save in the rare iustau- ces when a judge is 50 in doubt as to the proper ruling upon Il question of evidence that he certihcs it as a "re- served Case' to his brother judges of the criminal division of the kings bench, sitting as q special tribunal. This procedure is so rare that Justice Brewer says that former Minister E. !. Phelps told him that only two cases were 50 reserved during his term of office.

BLEW OUT HIS 'BnAINs $
DespOndency Caused T. H. Moran, a We'll Known
 Alaskan to End His Life

Thomas Moran, the Nome contractor and engineer, in q fit of despondency, ended his life at Council City last Sun day evening. He had been employed all summer by the Wild Goose com pany. and had money coming to him when he killed himself. As the story goes, he had been drinking hard for some time, aud evidently had made up his mind to end all. He said goodbye to several of his friends. and was seen number of times after that. Finally he was seen to go up toward the Wild Goose bluff on the Neukluk river. He fired shot apparently into his head and at the same moment jumped over the bluff into the deep water below. The river has been dragged since ther, but his body had not been recovered up to the time the information came

asked that $25 be appropriated to pur- chase ticket out on the Oregon for a woman who would become a city charge if not sent out. The request was grant ed.
 J. A. McFarlane was unanimously appointed as chief engineer to fill the vacancy made by Mr. Rollins resigna- tion.
 Upon motion the findings of the bridge commission was appealed to the federal court as majority of the coun- cilmen seemed to be under the impress sion that a new bridge can be built for less than the cost of the old bridge with the improvements which would be necersary.
 One hundred afd Effty dollars per month was appropriated to assist in maintaining free ferry upon which teams can be ferried across. Parties have already volunteered to construct the approaches and furnish q scow for this purpose.
 It was decided that the council should sit as a board of equalization next Fri day and Saturday evenings at 7:3O.
 Councilman Hill, upon his request was authorized to send out for q city seal, the design of which as briefly stated by Councilman Hill, will be a miner with a gold pan under one arm and No. ," shovel in the other hand the North star over his head and at his feet the motto, "Through Gold I Grow Rich"
 Al Lowe, in behalf of the residents of Third street, stated that although they had been paying taxes since 1899 the city had done nothing for them; they had built their own street, sidewalks, etc.. and now they askel the city to box the drain ditches properly and fix the sidewalks on the north side of the street. The matter was referred to the street committee with power to act.
 As the meeting was about to close Councilman Stevens took the floor and after glance at the galleries began arraigning the chief of police. It seems that upon request the chief had told Mr. Sesnon some statements he had heard about a certain man who was in his employ, and soon after the man was discharged. The man belongs to the Longshoremen's union. and the boys seemed to think an injustice had been done. Mr. Stevens, however, did not show that the chief had any other motive than the fulfllment of his duty. Councilman Hoxsie stated that he would consider it the duty of the chief to inform him if he was employing q man whom the chief directly or indi- rectly knew to be crooked.
 The chiefs statements seemed to satisfy the other counclmen, and the meeting was adjourned while Stevens was clamoring for another hearing.

Work Done and Future Prospects Closely Watched in New York
 Financial Circles.

It was pointed out in the issue of the American Mining News of July Il that eleven-twelfths of the placer gold ob- tained in Alaska in 1902, amounting to 5,500,0 ,000, was mined in the peninsula extending into the Boring Sea, north of St. Michael, which has been named the Seward Peninsula. The New York Sun prints map which shows that there is activity in many parts of the district Not long ago the beach at Nome, in the southwest corner of the peninsula, alone represented the min ing industry in this district; but today mining is in progress on many of the streams and gulches in the interior, and though Nome is still the greatest pro- ducer, the other districts contribute q large amount of gold dust to the total output.
 Though the yield last year was 8, 500,000, it would have been much greater if it had not been for two dis tinct conditions. Very little rain fell in July and August, the height of the mining season, and hence but little sluicing could be done. The other cause which restricted the output was

LOOKS GOOD
The InmaChuk and Its
 Tributaries.

Both the Inmachuk and it's tribu- taries are proving rich.
 Hannum creek, a tributary, is turn ing out much better than was expected early in the season, and much work is being done in preparation of winter digging and hydraulicking.
 Old Glory, another tributary, is also proving rich. Dr. Buck has opened his claim, and is getting good results. MT. Rogers is also doing work on his claim. Both are ground-sluicing.
 Pinnell, another tributary, is turning out we'll. Both the river and it's tribu- taries are staked from the source to the sea, and much prospecting is being done. With steam drawers and hy- draulicking machinery the Inmachuk country will certainly boom in the spring. A strike was also reported on Rex creek, but it could not be verified.
 The weather this season has been fine, dry and warm most of the time. It is expected that prospecting will continue, and that next year much sluicing will be done and lots of gold taken out.

COUNCIL
 MEETING Temporary Assessment
 Shows a Gain. CITY BADLY BEHIND
Findings of the Bridge COmmiS. siOners Appealed-=ScOw to
 be Used as a Ferry.

At the regular meeting of the city council last Monday night the city clerk reported the temporary assess ment roll as l,474, 229.32. This is q gain of S27, ,S32.32 over the final roll of last year, and will doubtless be raised several thousand dollars by the board of equalization.
 Thomas Rollins rendered his resig- nation as chief engineer in the fire de- partment to take effect at once. Coun- cilman Stevens, after pointing out the excellent service rendered by Mr. ROl- lins as chief engineer during the last year, moved that the resignation be a vote of thanks for the way in which he had fulfilled his duties. The motion carried unanimously.
 Mr. Rover, who has been exporting the city accounts, reported the books of the city clerk and city treasurer to be in balance, and that any slight diff ferenceS which existed was due entirely to clerical errors. He also reported the amount of outstanding warrants to be $32, O4S.02; cash on hand $2, s96.79 citv's indebtedness $29, l52.l3.
 The city treasurer reported $2, ,2S7.0l in general fund: $l,37l. .l2 in salary fund.- SIP in hospital fund.- $l5. l3 in fire fund; $4, ,3SO.7l in the school fund. The at tornev fund was overdrawn $4i9O.
 The chief of police reported $50l col lected in fines and forfetures during the month of August
 The fire chiefs report showed that there were only two fires during the month of August, one at the Board of Trade restaurant and one at Halls gro cery store, neither of which were seri- ous.
 The city clerk reported that the N. C. Co. going out of business made diff ference of $lO0, ,OO0 in the total amount of valuation in this years assessment. The Golden Gate s2O,O0O and the valu- ation of the bridge fell from $l0,000 to S2, 900.
 The plat of the survey of the townsite by F. Franklin Lewis was presented by Attorney CostOn, who informed the council that the work was done in d very thorough and satisfactory manner. Later the field notes were presented and the survey accepted by the council. A $500 warrant, as per contract, was ordered drawn in favor of Mr. Lewis payable in ten days.
 The street committee recommended that street lights be placed at Clafln' $ corner, rear of Hunter, west end of First avenue. at foot of hill on River street, Discovery saloon, rear of N. c. Co. warehouse, postofiice, N. w. c. Co. bridge, Yokohama house, Marine hos pital and on the sandspit at end of the bridge. With the suggestion from the mayor that the last named light be changed to the end of the free ferry, the report was adopted and the con- mittee empowered to act. Other lights will be placed in the near future.

that great deal of dead work" was done in preparation for more extensive mining during the present season.
 The problem of transportation into the interior is still serious one After heavy machinery has been landed on Nome beach it is still grave question how to transport it from the coast to the mines. This problem involves the building of roads and in some cases the dredging of rivers. The problem has been solved for the Anvil creek region, because narrow gauge railroad now extends from Nome beach to the head of Anvil creek. Roads have been ex- tended from the railroad to djacent creeks. so that it is possible to handle heavy machinery for the region tribu- tary to Nome; but the problem has not yet been solved for the more isolated camps.
 In 1902 gold mining was carried on in the Nome region proper, in the Solo mon and Edorado river region, on the streams tributary from the south to the Kruzgamepa, in the Kuzitrin basin and on the streams tributary to the Neukluk river. A number of the streams which are tributary to Port Clarence were also found to carry commercial value.
 Some development of placers on streams flowing northward to the Are tic Ocean has been made. None of these northerly flowing streams has been found to be so rich as those of the southern districts. Many of them have produced gold in commercial quanti- ties, and with further development will probably become important pro- ducers.
 The large increase in the output of Ophir creek, northern tributary of the Neukluk, is of special interest. It's production in 1902 was over s1,000, 900. This stream was one of the first on which gold was discovered in the Se- ward peninsula, and for several years was spasmOdically worked; but it is only since the introduction of systematic methods of mining and extraction that Ophir creek has become one of the largest producers of the region. These facts augur well for the future of the Seward peninsula placer fields. It is believed that other streams will have q history similar to that of Ophir creek.
 The hgh-bench gravels from 800 to 500 feet above the sea were discovered in 1900 and are still in process of de- velopmcnt. Some of them have great depth and the extraction of the gold involves much labor. The tundra, or coastal plain, placers back of Nome are still worked. but their development is not yet commensurate with their prob- able importance. It is believed that the gravels of this coastal plain carry many workable placers. They are Il few feet above and below sea level, are mined through shallow trenches, and operations have been hampered by lack of facilities for handling the surface water.

from Council City. Moran had worked for the Wild Goose company the past two years.
 Mr. Moran came to Nome in 1900, and had been actively engaged most of the time as a contractor and builder He built the Giese hardware store, the Columbia theater, the Congregational Church and several other large build ings. For some time his friends had noticed growing despondency on his part and had been much worried about him. This evidently reached a climax in the fit of dcspondency in which he took his life last Sunday. He had a host of friends in Nome and on Seward peninsula who will mourn his untmely death.
