Henry R. Elliott, general agent in Alaska for the Alaska Steamship Co, arrived in town on the Jefferson on tour of inspection and will leave for Juneau on the Cottage City. Mir. Elliott is we'll known in skagway, as he was stationed here some years ago.
 This summer Mir. Elliott was agent at Nome leaving there on the last boat. He says that Nome is far from being "dead one" although the last two seasons have been excep. tionally dry and this hurt the camp.
 There are men who have not wash. ed their dumps for two years" said Mir. Elliott. "I know of one man who has nearly $2OO,OOO in gold in his dump, yet this fall he didn't have enough real money to pay off his men. The banks are tight with mon- ey. A rainy season next year will do wonders to revive Nome.
 "Nome's output will increase now from year to year, but as it will be a dredging proposition pure and sim pie the population of the town will fall off somewhat, for one dredge with five men can do the work of fii- ty strong backs with pick and shovel.
