The disillusioned victims were bitterly disappointed as they had counted on working in the Alaskan placer mines for ten roubles (s5 00) day and board. Thomson acted as interpreter for them but the Canadian officials were Obdu- rate and when he left they were still in the detention sheds. It is Thomson's opinion that these men started for this country as the result of letters sent 10 them from friends here describing the high wages and glorious country and assuring them there was work for all. Many of them sold or got rid of everything they had in order to get money for the trip.
 Conditions in Russia are very much quieted down, says Thomson. Revolu- tionists are not nearly so active and widespread discontent at the close of the Russo-Japanese war has completely died out.

Billy Thomson, one of Nome's old timers, arrived recently on the Dux- bury, completing an extended trip from St. Petersburg. He came by way of the Siberian railroad, making the trip by rail to the Pacific coast in sixteen days. He then went bv one of the C. F. R. boats to Victoria, B. C., and proceeding to Seattle took passage on the Duxbury for Nome. The Dux- bury did considerable trading along the Alaskan coast on the way up and finding the ice would delay them in reaching Nome, they made a trip to Siberia, touching at several villages where they traded with the natives. The ice was heavy along the Siberian coast and at one time they were four days drifting with the pack. The weather was foggy and misty all the time they were on that coast and they were surprised to ind it clear and sunny as they got closer to Nome.
 Thomson reports that when he reached Victoria he found hundreds of Russians from the same southern Russian province their countrymen here hail from. They wanted to go to Nome and Fairbanks. but the Canad- ian government officials herded them into the immigration sheds and gave

 AND GENERAL

A telegram received by one of the parties in the Bon Voyage case, an- nounces that the circuit court of appe. als at San Francisco has affirmed the decision of Judge Moore which gave J. J. Chambers a judgment for $2l, 900 and a half interest in the property
 It is believed that the hundred dollar suckers induced to come. to Nome by the Alaska Investment and Development company, A. H. Moore, president, have been getting somewhat suspicious of the good intentions of the company. Before the Jeanie sail- ed they were threatening riot. They gathered at Seattle with the expecta- tion of being shipped to Nome imme- diately and when they were delayed day after day, getting no explanation from Moore of his plans, they became very uneasy. It is now reported tbat these men are to build a ditch near Cape Nome which will make it pos sible to work big deposit of pay owned by the company. The men are to take half their wages in company's stock, after paying slOO each for their jobs.

A JOKE ON
 THE MARSHAL

Quite sensation was caused at Sol omon early this month by the playing of practical joke on the marshal. According to accounts the joke was we'll planned and we'll carried out. and the marshal was unsuspecting to the last.
 Someone got two empty dynamite boxes and filled them neatly with mud carefully spreading on top the greased paper and sawdust usually found pack ed around the genuine article. These two boxes were "planted," and one of the conspirators gave the marshal the tip that some black hand work was being planned. He immediately got busy and it was not long before he located the "plant," and rising man. fully to the occasion, bent all his faculties to the solution of the my stery. He indignantly refused the services of one individual who wanted to open the boxes then and there with an axe, for that individual bore all the ear marks of | desperate black hand artist who would have only been too glad to take trip to the neither regions provi. ded he could have the company of others on the way.
 The boxes were finally carefully con- veyed across the river where the mar shall himself opened the min naworkman- like manner. Ther emainder oflthe story is now of DO particular interest to the marshal or anyone else.
