 A SUCCESS
Many People Attend Opening Night of the Congrega.
 tiOnal Bazaar.

The bazaar held in the Congrega- tional church last night proved an inn mense success. The interior of the building was very prettily decorated, and one of the first sights to catch a persons eye on entering the building was the booth named "Rebecca at the We'll" Cool. refreshing drinks were supplied from this booth by Miss Etta Wolf and Miss Wilda Moore, two pretty young ladies, who were kept busy by crowd of admirers drawing drinks from the well. The candy booth was in charge of Mrs. M. R. Kennedy and Mrs. F. w. Crane; the dry goods booth was presided over by Mrs. A. s. Moore and Mrs. J. B. Brown. Miss Rika Peterson, Mrs. L. Stevenson, Mrs. Jaycox and Miss M. Folvig had charge of the refreshment booth. Miss Ada Whaite made an excellent palmst, and was kept busy all the evening. Last. but not least, was the booth where homemade cakes and pies were sold, and pretty little Miss Laura Jaycox and Miss Vesta Story were kept busy dealing out the homemade goods. The reception committee con- sisted of Mrs. c. D. Murane, Miss Elma Ky berg and Mir. J. Ince.
 J. w. Campbell and Al Cody supplied the music, and Miss Elma Ryberg's recitation, "Bertie's Delsarte," was be continued tonight.

NOme'S Excellent Fire
 Department.
RECORD OF FIRES
Since May 20, Last...TwO Severe, the Burning of Nome's
 Leading Hotels.

A worthy institution of Nome is the fire department. From it's inception, away back in 1899. and until the pres ent, notwithstanding the mutations of time, and the alterations it has brought, the volunteer fire department of Nome has ever been credit to the city, and has done work which money could not repay. The volunteer fire department of Nome has undergone many vicissitudes The La France en- zine, which is the mainstay of the town in case of fire, was purchased largely through the instrumentality of few public-spirited citizens, headed by j.. c. Muther and Dick Dawson Then, when the town was incorporated, the people did the rest. Under Mayor Geise, the first mayor of Nome, the fire department began to take real shape. It's efficiency was improved under the direction of Fire Chief Geo. B. Baldwin, who has a worthy successor in the pres ent chief, Geo. H. Chapman.
 For the past year the department has been partially paid, and the men who now form the active branch of the in- stitution are firemen of large experi- ence. These include: Geo. H. Chap man, chief; James Haughey, assistant chief and driver; Lloyd Bolts, captain of chemical. J. M. Haley, engineer: Jos. P. Fallon, Martin Johnson, pipe men; H. D. McKellar, H. M. Marshall, Jerry Collins, Ben Hird, call men.
 hA ,1><,,. in the fire hall, where they also main sentative visited the fire hall the other day, everything was in apple-pie order. The hall was neat and clean, the en- zines were we'll furnished, the hose wagons were ready for instant service. And, speaking of hose wagons, new one has been recently constructed by has also been neatly painted. Three for use in case of fire.
 One of the most important adjuncts of the fire department is the chemical many times. Recently, it has been placed on runners for winter use. It, too has been repainted by Lloyd Bolts, its captain, the lettering being done free of charge by P. H. Fitzgerald.
 There are two steam engines, the La France and the Silby; pipe l70 feet long connects the engines with the sea. The pipe is six-inch iron, with flexible joints, and Engineer Haley keeps the fire machines in excellent condition, as is evidenced by the prompt response with which a fire alarm is always met.
 In this connection mention should be made of the two fire horses, sleek and we'll fed. the pets of the department.

 ''On the Shunnak proper, probab bly, Sl0,000 or Sl2, GOO was 'sniped out last season, but little development work has been done on that or other creeks. This winter the miners are handicapped because of the failure of the steamer Reilly to arrive, and the men located on the Shunuak are forced to mush down the river for their grub. There was about no tons on the steamer. J. B. Dyer, who had store outfit on the Reilly has built store p or 30 miles from the mouth of the kobuk. and sup plies may be obtained there.
 "I believe the Kobuk country, in time, will develop into a good mining section. To my mind, the outlook is better for quartz than for placer. The country is highly mineralized, and some good lodges have been found, among them being fine ledge carrying ga lena. l brought down several samples of quartz for assayng purposes
 M. F. Moran, the commissioner and recorder for that section. is located at IdlDp, lllt ntdu Ol 1ldN SdUlOtl. He succeeded in getting up 1000 pounds of supplies. A number of old-tmers are in that section. Among them are: C. H. Frost, former recorder, Geo W. Debus and Asa Y. Weeks, also eX-re- corders of that region, w. W. Getchell, the Cahill brothers, Lawrence Siverly, J. J. Brown, 5. J. Marsh. C. K. Snow, F. Elliston. Geo. Crawford, Walter koen, Lew Stockley and $. o. Gurney. R. l.. Howie is looking for Midas creek, the stream on which Duncan and Griggs are supposed to have made a big find last year
 Mr. O'Donnell thinks the Shunnak has been overestimated: in his opinion it is spotted" A strike was report 9d on Ribbon creek, about six miles above the kobuk's mouth, and number of people were going in there. Some were also going to Squirrel creek. The women in the Kobuk section are Mrs (. II. Frost, Mrs. Dunkert and Mrs Van Leer and her little daughter.
 Mr. O'Donnell will return to the Ko- bulk after the holidays.

One hundred and fifty men and three women are scattered along the Kobuk between it's mouth and Reilly camp, on | the Kobuk
 This is the statement made by P. C.. O'Donnell, an old-timer of this section, who reached Nome Saturday night last from the Kobuk.

The lad was taken to Holy Cross hospital where his injuries are being cared for The native suffered the accident at Porto camp, on the Kobuk, some B or 40 miles above Reilly camp. MT. O'Donnell and his charge left that place on Nov. 30, having made the long trip of over 600 miles in l9 days.
 Mr. O'Donnell has been on Candle and the Kobuk country since 1901. In 1900 he was one of the plaintiffs in the then celebrated suit for the possession of No. Daniels creek, in Topkok dis trict.
 As told in THE NUGGET few weeks ago the steamer John Reilly, which left Keewalik for Shunnak on Sept. 30 last, was frozen in the Kobuk about half mile from the mouth of the river. She had some 40 passengers aboard and these are either camped along the low CT river or have reached their destina- tion-the Shunnak. Some are freight ing their supplies to Shunnak: others have built cabins, and are prospecting along the lower river.
 Mr. O'Donnell left Shunnak, where he has been since last winter, on Nov l. and picked up the injured native at Reilly camp on Nov. 30.
 Speaking of the Kobuk country Mir. O'Donnell said: "Betveen the Kotze- sound mission and the Shunnak there are probably 150 people. Those who were frozen in on the Reilly who have dog teams are freighting their goods up river: others have built cabins and some are prospecting.
 "The Lucky Three Mining Co.,, in which Lindblom, of the Pioneer Min ing Co.,, is interested, have done lot of work on the Shunnak and on Dahl creek. also a Kobuk tributary, about so miles above the Shunnak.
