ARTHUR MCQUEEN TELLS OF KoBUK, cHANDLA" AND
 CANDLE.

Arthur Mcqueen, the well-known miner, who has spent all of the last winter in the Kobuk and Candle dis tricts, returned to Nome yesterday. The first part of the winter MT. Me queen enjoyed the beauties of the Kobull river, and so attached to the fine, large spruce trees of that section did he become that it was with much regret that he left it. After having such ideal camping ground as the tim ber of the Kobuk affords it was very hard for MT. Mcqueen to reconcile himself to the barren tundra again.
 There is not a great deal of work going on in the Kobuk region at the present time. Paddy O'Donnell, wh1 has the big quartz ledge has been working steadily.
 Early in the year there was a small stampede to what is known as Stony camp, on Stone creek. Tom 13aldwi | had made a small strike, but the pay he found was limited, and the stam peders were unrewarded.
 But, while the gold was scarce there was much hunting and trappin , going on with very profitable results The natives have been especially sue

cessful in their hunting. and now have many valuable skins in their posses sion As a general thing they refus to trade with any white man other than the whalers, it being true that they give much better prices for fur than the traders from Candle and Nome will pay.
 Leo Wheeler, the old Iron creek ioadhouse man, has made an excep- tionally good fur catch.
 Tom Gordon, of the whaling station, was seen during the winter He re- ported first-class season for the whalers, he having secured 3,5O9 pounds of bone for himself.
 While returning from the Kobu< to Candle creek MT. Mcqueen met one of the Chandlar stampeders returning, with an empty poke and barely pro. visions enough to last him til h. reached some camp The man ad- vice was to keep away from the new diggings, for they were a failure. There was a terrible shortness of grub, many men expecting to leave befor. spring simply because it was impos sible to get enough food to live on during the coming summer. The hun dres who will go in this spring are duA to be sadly disappointed the stam" peder said, for the ground is deep and little gold has been found. The coun try is staked for a hundred miles, leaving little chance for any new corners.
 Jimmy Trail, AL Thompson and Tommy the Horse, three Candle men, were within one hundred miles of the Chandlar when the first strike was made. But, not knowing anything about it, they left for Candle last fall. Not until they reached Candle did they hear of the strike; they then turned around immediately and

 Jimmy Cross John Stemberg and i've other Chandlar stampeders brought the story of the death of Jack Carron. Carron died on the trail while trying to reach the new dig gings. The weather was bad result ing in a severe cold settling on his lungs. Pneumonia set in, soon ending his life. He was from tue Inmachuk river, though was formerly a long shoreman at Nome.
 MT. Mcqueen states that Candle was never in a more pros porous condition. With numerous rich dumps waiting to be washed up, and plenty of water for sluicing, makes business lively and money free. There are two years dumps to be cleaned up, as lack of water prevented last years output to be cleaned up.
 There have also been a number Of recent rich strikes. Three of these were made on the hill directly out of town by Solomons & Holman. The prospecting in the same vicinity of the strikes indicates that there is a regular streak running back of th9 town.

CLEANUP
 EDITION
NOME DAILY NUGGETS ANNUAL EDITION WILL ECLIPSE ALL
 FORMER PUBLICATIONS.

Arrangements have been perfected to issue the annual Spring Cleanup Edition of The Nugget on or before June 10 of this year. To accomplish this it has necessitated a great deal of preliminary work, which has already, to some extent been covered The vastness of the undertaking and the limited tine allotted, this year, in which to complete the publication of our mammoth edition makes it neces sary that mining men, patrons of the paper, and advertisers especially shall be notified in time so as to take ad- vantage of this splendid opportunity icity to individual and co-operativs , interests in a growing and prosperous mining region.
 To this end The Nugget is able to announce today that @ competent staff of writers and correspondents have already entered the field to gain the necessary material for compiling an edition that promises to eclipse all former publications issued from this office.
 The field of investigation will cover in general, the progress and mineral resources of Seward peninsula; min ing methods in vogue in the Nome and adjacent regions; ditch building and water facilities; ancient beach and tundra gravel deposits; stream and bench placers. and, finally a summary or recapitulation of developments and production of mineral wealth of the entire peninsula.
 Special articles will appear on the Candle Fairhaven Inmachuk, Council, Solomon, Teller Gold Run, Kousarok Iron Creek. Salmon Lake, Kigluiak Lost River end York tin regions
 The mission of The Nugget and this Special Edition will not be to "boom' this section of Alaska but to rather truthfully portray, in a conservative manner, the progress mineral wealth and development of Seward peninsula.
 Researches will be made for inter esting data of quartz developemnt coal, wood and timber products. A brief but interesting legend of the ge ologic formation, compiled by Alfred H. Brooks and other noted government representatives, who have thoroughly investigated this country for the past sixteen years, will be given.
 Last, but not least, hints of prac tical nature to miners and prospectors regarding beach placers and deposition of mineral wealth, as gleaned from au- thoritative sources, among which will be mentioned many of the most suc- cessful mining men and experts in Alaska Handsome half-tone photo engravings cf prominent men, business houses, dumps and workings of con- spcuous and producing mines of Nome and vicinity have been con- tracted for, and. as before stated every endeavor will be made by The Nugget and it's staff to make this the most complete and creditable special mining edition ever published in Alaska.

Will Brown, q negro, who swas

There was nothing very thrilling

be in immediate demand. The lower
sash of that room, (which is just ,un-

For quite while, since leaving the

who couldn't keep pace with him,
Seeing that Brown was making a
record as a sprinter his pursuers
gave upethe chase and some one
fired four pistol shots in the air
which scared the negro almost out
of his wits and caused him to rur
the faster.
The negro may not turn in at
the Latham again, but if he does, he
will be summarily dealt with. The
hour at which his slumbers were
disturbed was close on to II o'clock.

broken by the four discharges of the
pistol, but hope the negro will look
up a more welcome host elsewhere.

ANOTHER ARREST
Growing Out of The Mob's
Work at Princeton.
Third Man In Jail Was LOca.
ted Here Last Winter.

Under the leadership of a courage
Gus circuit judge the grand jury in
Caldwell county, has made some
progress in locating the responsible
ity for the arson on December ! j,
1906, when the Orr and Stegar
stemmeries in Princeton were burn
ed by a mob.
Four or five men have been indict-
ed and three are under arrest. VIM,
Winter, charged at the time with
being in the mob but no case made
out against him, is one of them.
He is under a $1,000 bond. John
Jackson and John McGregor are the
other two and at last accounts they
were in Jail. McGregor was arrest
ed Thursday.
AT the time the stemmeries were
burned McGregor was living ten
miles north of Princeton. Soon af-
ter the fire he sold his farm and
moved to this city. He has not been
able to make bond so far. If he had
any regular business here, it was
not known. He rented a house on
Virginia street within one square of
of the Rock Bridge stemmery, where
he lived with his family. He left
here som time ago. Soon after the
Princeton trouble, a anumber of men
from the lower counties were seen
about Hopkinsville good deal, but
most of them like McGregor have
either left or are engaged in some
kind of business.
The identity of two other men
has not yet been disclosed. |

Redistricting Circuit
Courts of Florida.

There is a growing demand for
revision of the constitution of Florida
in regard to the establishment and
regulation of the courts, and unless
some relief is obtained I'm some of
the larger counties of the state the
business interests OF these localities
are bound to suffer
Tampa and Pensacola seem to be
hampered in this respect just now
more than any of the other counties,
and the chances for them to secure
relief seem very doubtful.
The Judge of the first judicial cir
cult has more business than he can
well attend to- The people of this
county, realizing this, went to the last
Legislature and secured the passage
of bill proposing an amendment to
the constitution creating a new court
for this county, in order to relieve
the circuit Judge OF some of his work
in Escamhia county, and secure quick
er results for the litigants here The
amendment was voted down by the
people, and Escambia county must be
content with the same courts she has
had for the past eighteen years
The same condition OF affairs is
said TO exist in Hil'sborough county,
and the bar association of Tampa pro-
poses 10 try the same course OF
procedure that Escambia did, but We
can't see any hope for them. The
people Will certainly make no distinc-
ton between the two counties in the
matter OF giving them courts which
do not interest the citizens of any
, other county in the state
J There seems TO be d division of
! sentiment in Tampa as to Just what
course 10 pursue. and it is suggested
tina: the political divisions OF the sew
enth circuit be divided, and the cir
cult judge be given less work to do
there. II this were done the circuit
judge would have time enough to prop

naturally fall to the proposed new
court
