A PIPE LINE
 FOR GOLD RUN
A Project Which Will Open Up a Large Amount of
 Ground.

Cha,. D. Ilaskins, Gold Run min ing operator has commenced work on q combined ditch and pipe line, the in- take being on Canyon creek. The line will be jt miles in length, and when completed it will bring water in a direct line to Gold Run and Alder creek, with 2lj foot fall. The grade will be r. feet to the mile.
 "Thcre is not claim on Gold Run where a man cannot make at least SJ d day, and there are q numberof bench claims which may be worked prolitably with a water ,upply,' said Mr.. Has kino.
 The work this season on Gold Run has been on the whole satisfactory. The Mclaughlin bench is rich, and the Duncan fraction isexcellcnt. Mr. Has kins opened up No. , Gold Run the past summer, and next spring the bunch of claims which he owns will be operat- ed extensively. The new ditch line will be in operation early next season.

DISMISSED BY THE COURT
Charges of BIaCkmaiI Preferred Against Councilman Hill and
 the Chief of Police.

Monday afternoon United States Commissioner Reed dismissed the con- pIaint against Councilman Hill, Chief of Police Wallingford and Police Officer Sackett, chargedI with the crime of extorting money from women. The dismissal was ordered on motion of defendants attorney, the defense offering no evidence. The court held that it had not been shown that the defendant was guilty as charged.
 When the case was called on Mon- day afternoon Assistant District Attor- ney Grigsby asked permission to place Municipal Judge Shields on the stand. This was allowed, and the record of the municipal court was also intro duced. MT. Grigsby said he wished to show by the record that some 25 com plaints had been filed against women in the municipal court by Ed E. Hill, immediately following the threats he had made to have them arrested if they did not pay for certificates, as shown by the evidence; that for a period of two months not single ar- rest of these women had been made,

In Less Than l5 Days on
 the InmaChuk.
OLD TIMERS VIEWS
Coal 10 be Delivered to Claims From Chicago Greek at
 $25 per Ton.

AXel Shipsby, an Inmachuk mining man is in town. He says that the min CTS on the Inmachuk have made con tracts for the delivery of coal at their mines from Chicago creek at S2j ton. Both Mir. Shipsby and Frank Redwood, also an lnmachuk mine owner, say the coal is of excellent quality and is free of clinkers. Twenty-three steam thaw- CTS are already on the lumachuk, and the number will be increased to thirty probably. The Dashley Co. will have two in operation, and it is confidently expected that the Inmachuk will have big cleanup next spring.
 Mir. Shipsby has been in the northern section since 1898, and he says that the lnmachuk country isthe most promising of Seward peninsula. Last summer he had l. days lay on Dick Hagadorn's claim. In that time he and his part ners moved their thawing machine to the ground, got it to work, thawed the muck and dirt, and, with q rocker. cleaned up S95O.
 One of the great handicaps of the sec tion is the cost of laying down supplies. It costs $3O ton from Nome to Deer ing and Sl20 from the latter place tu the claims.

The cases against J. r, Kennedy and John Robinson were dismissed on motion of the prosecuting attorney, for the reason that James C.. Sullivan, the complaining witness, had left the country, and Robinson was only d spectator of the game. The court told the defendants that if again con victed of gambling he would impose the full fine, SjO0.

Because he would not stand in with blackmailing of defenseless and un- fortunate women, John Rustgard, pres ident of the city council of Nome, was removed by the act of four alleged councilmen, Bard, Hill, Stevens and Calvin, and the former was elected in MT. Rustgard's place. For weeks past secret attempts have been made to re- move Mayor Rustgard; the plans were all laid, but they went wrong. Mon- day night, fresh from his baptism by United States Commissioner Reed, purged with hyssop and declared clean by order of somebody, Hill, Bard, Gal win and Stevens, as fine quartet of resolved that the head of Rustgard should be taken in celebration of the reign of loot and graft upon which the seal of a courts approval had just been placed. It was done, Rowe and Hoxsie being absent. Then, with the puppet mayor in the chair, Hill and his band were in full control Rustgard moved to declare the office of chief of police vacant, but the motion did not receive a second, of course, the voice of the looter and grafter being noticeably silent just then. Hill bawled about points of order, and the brand-new but dazed mayor nodded unintelligently, and the comedy continued, little routine business being transacted be- tween times by the men who constitute the opera boutfe quartet of Nome.
