CAPE NOME GOLD MINED
BY LARGE COMPANIES.
Independent Miners Have Little
show to Make Good Finds.

Independent Miners Have Little
show to Make Good Finds.
Mr.. T. ]. Doyal, who recently re-
turned from Cape Nome. Alaska, where
he spent nearly six years, was regis
tered at the Pulaski House yesterday
on his way south. He left on an early
train this morning for Jacksonville.
Everything has settled down at
Cape Nome" said Mr. Doyal, land the
city looks like an orderly place. The
gamblers and rowdies have faded away
before the enforcement of the law and
the sheriff is in control of the situa-
ton.
Cape Nome is not a good place for a
man to go now without money, unless
he desires to work for one of the big
mining companies, who have obtained
possession of practically all of the val
liable mining propositions in that sec
ton of the country.
Washing gold from the tundra, or
beach, has long since played out and
mining operations are much the same
as in the states The independent miners
do not stand much show of getting
rich, though by hustling and travers-
ing out-ot-the-way places they some
times strike good things.
During my years in Alaska I had
two narrow escapes, one from another
man and one from nature. In the
first case 1 had entered a gambling
hall and was invited to play by one of
the gamblers. AS I did not gamble |
declined. The man got insulting and
[ resented it. His partner came up
and began shooting 1 returned the
fire and was struck in the leg. MY op-
ponent 1 shot in the side and he was
laid up for several months.
THE other close call was when was
driving burro loaded with supplies
from White Horse river to the Cad
river territory. While going along a
steep ledge the stones, which had been
loosened before, began to slip. I went
quite distance when I managed TO
grasp a. rock and held on. The burro
went down the incline 300 feet and was
crushed. After some difficulty l man
aged to reach the foot of the ledge in
different manner than the burro
and saved a small part of the pack
The greater part of the work done
by the independent miners is more like
luck. They occasionally find pockets,
and in some instances they strike
Lodges. AS they cannot work the
Lodges they have to sell out to some of
the big companies.
when l left there ore was being
taken out Which was worth $3.50 a, ton
in its rough state. There's plenty of
gold there, and the big companies are
making the money"
Mr.. Doyal will not return to Alaska,
as he had enough of the territory. His
home was originally in New York city.

WENT FOR AUTHORITY
AND CONVICT ESCAPED

Because he did not know whether he
had the right to break in a door, it is
said that one of the guards at the
County Farm let woman convict, Lii
Ian Hendricks, escape Wednesday.
The woman had been gone only a
short time before she was missed.
Hounds were secured and they follow
ed her trail directly to a house about
two miles from the farm.
The door of the house was locked
and it appeared deserted, but the dogs
stood at the door and growled. The
guard returned to the farm to find out.
1t is reported. whether he had the au-
thority to break open the door, and
the woman has not been caught.

POLICE PISTOL PRACTICE
BEGINS NEXT MONTH.
Men in Department Will Be Requir-
ed TO shoot On the RanEc.

ed to Shoot On the Range.
On Oct. 1 practice on the police pistol
range will be resumed. During the
summer months, while the men were
taking their vacations, it was found
inadvisable to have the regular prac-
tice, as had been planned. The range
was there for any officer who wanted
to use it, but the practice shooting
has not been compulsory during the
vacation season.
Beginning next month, however, the
force will be divided into regular
squads for practice, and all the men
will be required to shoot. Loading in
struments have been purchased, so
that the police can load their own
shells. In a very short time, it is
thought the men will greatly improve
i'm the use of the revolver. There are
already some very fine pistol shots in
the department.
There can be no doubt that the prac-
tice will be of great benefit to the de-
partment. 1t is not often that an Of
ficer is called upon to use his pistol,
but when he does need to shoot he
needs to shoot straight. 1t is some
times a question of saving his life.

CITY DOESN'T WANT
PAY FOR AMBULANCES.
Acting Mayor Dixon Explains Posi-
ton in Regard to Matter.

Acting Mayor Dixon Explains Posi-
ton in Regard to Matter.
THE ambulance question is not a
question of money and I am opposed
to the city making a charge for the
use of its ambulances." said Acting
Mayor Dixon, yesterday in regard 10 a
suggestion that this be done.
1T is simply a question of being IN
able to care for the city's business. If
the ambulances continue to look out
for the hospitals work. Accident cases
would be delayed just the same if the
ambulance was busy. whether the city
was getting pay for its use or not. Be
sides l don't think the city should go
into the ambulance hiring business
any more than it should into the livery
stable business.
The city does not begrudge the sum
spent in keeping the two ambulances
going. The trouble is the ambulances
are kept busy on sick calls that the
hospitals should look after. and are
sometimes not in place when an acct
dent call comes in. If we could look
after all the calls for pay. we could
look after them for nothing.
Several times only recently the am
balances were in service, when an &C
cident happened. and the moving of the
injured person was delayed some time.
This ought not to be. OF course, Occa-
sionally, the ambulances might be
needed in several places at the same
time for accidents, or sudden illness on
the street. but this would not occur
often. Now when the ambulances are
kept busy almost all the time. it is the
exception when it is found in the sta
bles when it is badly needed.
I'VE will simply have 10 keep the
city ambulances for emergency calls
only after this year. and let the hos
pitfalls look out for the ordinary cases.
If we don't do this. the serious cases
will not receive the prompt attention
that fbav should

COUNTY TAX RATE
FIXED AT $40
INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR.
BUDGET FOR ALL DEPARTMENTS
FOOTS UP 1901 ,64S.1O.

Meeting of County Commissioners
Determined Matter rs Anticipates
in the Morning News-BiIls for
$11,S45.s3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in
state Tax Rate since Last Year
viii Make Difference in Taxation
This Year Small.
Chatham county property holders will
pay this year TO the county $40
on each 81 600 worth of taxable prop
erty they possess.
This was determined upon at the
September meeting of the County Com
rnissioners held yesterday afternoon.
The sum of 1901. 64S 10 has been placed
in the budget for the various depart
ments of the county. a part of which
is derived from the railroad tax and
incidental sources of revenue.
Last year the county rate was 1920,
and the year before $3.50. This year
the state tax rate is 81. so, making the
aggregate state and county tax s12. so
per thousand, as against $12.2O last
year.
This year the total taxable property
of the county. real and personal, was
fixed at $33, ,64S, a gain of S465, 1876
over the valuation of the previous year.
The total sum raised last year was
$2S0,379. 30.
This year the state will levy total
of $3.50, 31S. 81 on Chatham county prop
erty holders.
other Business Transacted.
At the meeting of the commissioners
there was just a quorum present.
Bills for S11,S47S3 for the month of
August were approved. No mention
was made of the garbage question.
No other business was transacted
except the fixing of the tax rate. Bids
for county supplies will be considered
at meeting to be called by Chair
man Lathrop.
AS stated in the Morning News, the
increase in the rate was due to the ad-
ditional item of $4,000 which was
tackled on the budget by the grand
jury for educational purposes. Making
allowance for the increase in the prop
erty valuation it was found necessary
to provide the greater part of the sum
by raising the tax rate.
The county tax books will be made up
at once by Tax Collector Thomson,
and the books will be opened on Oct.
/. The first penalty goes on about the
middle of December.
Order of COMMISSIONER.
The following was the order issued
yesterday, signed by Chairman f. 5.
