He will not say that good pay has been found, but he does not deny that things look most promising
 He states that he drfted into 2i2 feet of beach sand which pans very well. and he has d genuine beach rim. The fact of finding very good pros poets on this rim, he believes, gives promise of a very rich paystreak.
 Several men who had been pros pecting near Uncle sam mountain last summer quit just as soon as they learned that they were working on the fourth beach and none of them went tp bedrock.
 The fact that it was the fourth beach was discovered by running the levels.

Nome, Alaska, Nov. ,, 1907 To the Public of Nome:
 We, the members of the Typograph- ical union No. 5S2, of Nome, wish to notify the public of Nome of the true state of facts regarding the trouble be- tween the Typographical union and the Nome Industrial Worker.
 Our executive committee called upon Mir. Walsh, at that time manager of The Industrial Worker, and requested him to recognize our union by signing the wage scale, hours, etc, and were promptly refused. The union thereupon declared the office of The Industrial Worker an unfair shop, called out it's members employed therein and refused to handle any of the work of the Indus trial Worker. being done in any other printing office in the city. The two men called out refused to comply. whereupon they were expelled from the union. Our authority for the above action was based upon Law 23 of the International Constitution. which reads as follows:
 Sec. 23. That the International Ty- geographical union does not recognize the Industrial Workers of the World as a labor organization"
 Our action was communicated to the executive committee of the l. T. U. ana in response the following letter was re- ceived from Secertary Bramwood:
 Indianapolis, Ind, Sept 2s. 1907. Secretary Nome Typographical un-
 ion No. 5S2, Nome Alaska.
 Dear Sir; The action taken by your union in connection with the office re- ferred to is entirely satisfactory to this office.

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNI0N
 CALLS PAPER UNFAIR

To parade under union colors and to claim to be the champion of union in- terests while being fin fact the only "scab" newspaper printed in the city is the record of the local weekly sheet known to those who see it as "The h. dustrial Worker"
 The sheet has been repudiated time and again by the best men in the union ranks and by the organizations which have any right whatever to speak in behalf of union labor.
 It has been shown to be nothing but ors, while it has presumed to solicit, and to do more than solicit, support, on the ground that it represents the labor organizations of the district.
 It is conducted on the lines laid down by a small socialistic faction of one organization and by a faction which has been repudiated by the American Federation of Labor, the Western Federation of Miners, and all other bodies that can boast of any standing or foundation.
 The Typographical union of Nome, itself, has placed the sheet on the un- fair list, and of all newspapers now published in the city the self-styled champion of unionism is the only "scab'
 It claims to be supported by the workmen of this district, but its claims are absolutely false and business ob- tained by such claims is not to say the least, deserved.
 At a meeting of the Typographical union. held last evening, it was de- cided to have printed and circulated the following circular:

CT, which, you say, is backed by the Nome Mine Workers union of the Western Federation of Miners, desire to state that I believe that if an active label campaign be instituted in your city that it would be possible to force this paper to unionize
 'Inasmuch as the Western Fedora tion of Miners use the label on their printing, it would not be a bad idea to write the president and secretary of that organization acquainting them with the action of their local union in Nome, and also of the trouble that No. 5S2 is having with the Industrial Work CT. In case you comply with the fore going suggestion, kindly furnish me with copy of the letter. So far as the action of the men employed on the Nome Nugget is concerned, in connec- tion with the printing of the Indus trial. Worker I am constrained to say that the course they pursued was the correct one.
 Hoping that this response will meet with your approval, and assuring you that l will be pleased. at any time, to give you any further information you may desire, l remain, with best wishes.
 "Fraternally yours.

The Nome Daily Nuggets circulation on the creeks is growing larger every day, and much credit is due to MT. w.

Stuart Hotchlxiss, as receivers, will be reor- ganized. meeting of the unsecured creditors to talk over a plan of reor- ganzation was to have been held in New York Monday, but it was postpon- ed to April 15
 On April there was meeting of the unsecured creditors and they appointed a committee to present a plan of reor- ganization to the stockholders and en- deavor to agree with the stockholders on some plan to reorganize the compa- ny. The committee and the stockhold- CTS had conference and they came very near together on plan. The committee of the creditors will report to the creditors on April 15 what they have done.
 If plan of reorganization is agreed on by all parties interested 1t will then be necessary to raise the money to finance the company. It is believed that the money will be forthcoming and that the concern will be running again on better basis than ever be- fore.

 vide City Into Four Zones.

 In zone No. 1, which will include the center of the city, the rate will be 50 cents for one person and 25 cents for each additional person. Hand baggage to the extent of fifty pounds shall be carried free, but trunks shall be charg- cd for at the rate of 25 cents each. The hackman may refuse to carry trunks weighing over 100 pounds.
 Zone No. ? extends from the Quinni- piac river to West river and the Ham, den line. The hackmen may charge 75 cents in this zone for the first person with the other rates the same as in zone 1.

 Rates at funerals remain as before, s.

Unable to Reach a Verdict in Case
 Again Solomon Boyce.
 The jury in the case of Solomon Boyce, who was tried in the superior court yesterday on a charge of having stolen a valuable rug from the firm of Brown & Durham, by whom he was em- ployed as a driver, reported after being out an hour and half on the case that they could not agree on verdict.
 This result is attributed to the excel- lent plea made for Boyce by his attor- ney, John F. Wynne, as the case for the state seemed very strong. The de- fense had but few witnesses and most of the points for that side were scored by Attorney Wynne on cross-exanina- tion of the witnesses brought by the state.
