Mushcrs coming to the city from out lying points report that the volcanic ash which has fallen all ovet the dis trict is impeding travel to some extent and their stories go to emphasize the wonder at the most remarkable phe- nomenon ever recorded in Nome, and probably one of the most remarkable in the personal experience of anyone who is now here.
 Probably the strangest fact connect ed with the matter is that the ashes must have travelled an immense dis tance, as an eruption on Seward pe- ninsula would probably have made itself felt in some other way to some of the people who are in commmica- ton with Nome.
