NEW NOME PAY |cc
BEING WORKED
THIS WINTER

Nome is just now experiencing a
revival of winter prospecting and
mining, and the activity is unusual.
Arrivals from Dexter Divide report
that much work is proceeding and
that several parties are hosting pay
from claims around the place where
the strike was made last spring
Amongst those in the pay there this
winter are Owen Brown, who made
the rich strike last winter. Others
operating there are Murray and Rose
the Rowan brothers, Henniner &
Company, Richter and Bolster, Moses
and Warter, Taylor and partners, Dan
Connolly and brothers. Many are
taking out winter dumps, and the
rest are prospecting and trying to
line up the pay.
The output for the Nome camp this
year was just about three million dol
lars, and the customs office record or
arrivals and departures show that tn.
population this winter is about two
hundred and fifty more than it was
last year.
Several billiards and a great snow
fall have piled high the drifts much
earlier than in any other winter in
the camps history. About a hundred
people are at the scene of the Dime
Creek strike, and others are leaving
daily for it. 1t is fairly good low
grade placer camp.
Since the last boat went out it has
been found that dog famine exists
there, owing to the purchases made by
the French government for the war.

SAILED ALL NIGHT IN THE SAME
PLACE.

Just before the Farragut passed
by the last time a schooner with a
cargo that included a barrel of whis.
key was sailing into Kodiak with two
men for crew. The man who was
steering during the daytime threw
over the anchor but kept the sails
hoisted, and the other man came to
steer for the night. The wind was
fresh and the waves beat around the
stationary vessel so that the steerer
in the dark thought he was making
good Roadway until day broke and he
found he was still the same distance
from shore. Then up came the day

I " 0 STEAMERS.
CONE CORDOvA
FOR REPAIRS

The steamer Kansas City arrived
in port at 10 o'clock this morning
from Anchorage, where she was un-
able to discharge her cargo, the ice
in the inlet being quite thick. She
lost one of her anchors, and the cir
culating pump was put out or COM
mission, necessitating her coming to
Cordova for repairs. Her cargo con-
sists of about 1900 tons of lumber.
rails and food supplies, and after
waiting for three days at Anchorage
found it impossible to land the freight,
which was brought to Cordova.
The Northwestern was enabled to
discharge part of her cargo by
drifting forward and backward with
the ice. The balance of her freight
was landed at Seward.
The steamer Dora, en- route from
Seward to Unalaska. broke down al
Seldovia on Sunday, and it will be
necessary for her to put back to Cor
dova to repair her high pressure

Sol RD0U Gil DAYS ARE
REPRODUCED IN SEATTLE

The Arctic Club of Seattle held it's
annual sourdough dinner last Satur-
day evening. when caribou meat and
other Alaskan products formed a
greater portion of the menu. Three
hundred guests were present. and
good fellowship reigned supreme.
Following the dinner the annual
celebration was held, when the gamb-
ling and dancehall days of the north
were reproduced. Many of the old.
time gamblers were manipulating the
games with the same old players on
the outside of the tables.
Hundreds of persons who had never
seen the. northern camps during the
early days when gambling games were
run wide open, attended the affair to
see if the reproduction compared with
the stories they had heard of the
north.
A wireless instrument had been in
stalled on the roof of the Arctic Club
building, and during the evening mes
sages were received from Governor
Strong and other Alaskans, who re-
GREETED they were unable to be
present.

VALDEZ EPISCOPAL RECTOR
HAS GONE TO ANCHORAGE

Rev. E. H. Molony, pastor of the
Church Of the Epiphany during the
past year, at Valdez, accompanied by
his wife and family, left for Anchor
age. The members of the Episcopal
Church and the citizens OF Valdez
generally regret their departure from
Valdez. and will wish them every sue
cess in their new field.
Mr.. Molony had but recently re-
turned from Anchorage, and while
there had received pressing invita-.
lions to settle in the new town and
establish a mission. The people of
Anchorage have promised him that
they will build a parsonage and en-.
gage a hall suitable for services 70,

substantial church will be erected
They have already subscribed $1,000
toward the new building, so anxious
are they that the church be esraD

v 0 N { n PETITION FOR
TERRITORIAL PROHIBITION

The Women's Christian Temper
ance Union of Sitka has started the
fight for territorial-wide prohibition.
It has directed to Congress a petit
ton asking that the territorial act
calling for an election be affirmed,
as follows:
1--WE most earnestly solicit your
support for the passage of a bill
through Congress validating the law
of the Alaska Territorial Legislature,
providing for a referendum to the
people of Alaska upon the liquor
question. AS you will see from read
ing the enclosed petition, among the
restrictions placed upon the Alaska
Legislature by Congress is one
against amending the laws relating
to the manufacture or sale of intoxr.
eating liquors in Alaska.
"Our legislature has provided for an
expression of the Alaska people on
this subject at the next general cleo
ton; but without ratification by
Congress this law will be ineffective,
even should the people of Alaska vote
dry, as it can reasonably be expected
they will. Whether you favor the
sale of intoxicating liquors or not,
We feel that we may ask you to as.
sist in securing for the American
people of this territory the right to
decide this question for themselves.
This is a natural right that American
citizens may not expect their Con-
gress to withhold from them, and we
are counting you among our sup
porters in this matter. In this con-
nection, we beg to call your attention
to the memorial of the last Alaska
Legislature, asking Congress to re-
move these restrictions from our Or
ganic Act.
"The vast territory of Alaska is d.
vided into four judicial and legislative
divisions, and we petition, if the vote
of the people in any one of these d.
visions is against the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors no saloon licenses shall
be issued in such division, after
January LIST, 1918. These divisions or
Alaska are separated from one an
other by great natural barriers and
vast areas Of uninhabited country, SO
that none of the arguments against
local option can be raised against
this additional proviso."

PULl|ICAL GAME
AS PLAYED IN
alaska

The political game hunters of Alas
ka are beginning to beat the woods
of Alaska" for likely candidates. So
far there has not been much success
in flushing the game. While num-
Der of prospective candidates nave
been driven into the open, they have
showed no special inclination to stay
there.
In other words, while several like
Barkis, are willing, and might accept
nominations if handed them on a sil-
yer platter, they don't want to be
placed in the position as though seek.
ing political honors.
Naturally. the main fight for dele.
gate will continue to center around
Delegate Wickersham. All or the
party politicians are trying to guess
what he will do. And Mr.. Wicker
sham, following his usual battling
tactics, is letting the "other fellow"
do the guessing. Whenever 1t suits
him he will announce his candidacy
in his own way, should he decide
again to run, and meantime no one
knows save himself. and he is not
talking for publication.
1t looks to man in a tree as
though there is a widening split with
in the inner ranks of the Democratic
party in Alaska, the same us there
has been within the ranks of the Re-
publicans. The latter, however, are
showing more of disposition to get
together and forget old differences,
while the former with ripe plum trees
loaded with fruit so temptingly close.
seem disposed to quarrel about the
best way of shaking down the fruit.
Regarding the Republicans, terri
torial affairs are in somewhat the
same shape as national affairs. While
a number are mentioned as possible
candidates, no particular choice seems
to have been made as yet, and the
candidate will have to develop as
the time for the convention draws
nigh. There is a percentage of the
Republicans who are still opposed to
W1ckersham no matter even should
he come in under the wing or the
party and subscribe to the Republican
principles. There is another percent
age who decry the tactics of playing
a shut-out game against Wickersham,
who believe that Republicans should
have the right to vote for him in the
primaries as long as they pledge
themselves to stand by the person
nominated, and as long as Wicker
sham is willing to also subscribe 20
the Republican principles. There is
still another percentage who are so
solidly for Wickersham that they
might subscribe to the Republican
principles, but who would bolt from
any convention which refused to nom.
mate their choice
Any way a person looks at the
game, it is full of interesting possr.

manoeuvring at the present time, all
of which is preliminary to the main

Snail culture apparently has not yet
made a beginning in this country. the
few snails found on the market here
being brought over from Europe alive
in barrels and casks and sold by fish
dealers in our large cities. Writing In
the last Yearbook of the department

sests that the opportunities for snail
growing are really much better in the
United States than in Europe. While
In the old world the snail grower gen
orally has but a small piece OF land
on which the snails must be confined
by fence of special design. and
where they must be regularly fed, in
this country there is an abundance of
waste land where the creatures might
be successfully raised without atten-
ton, and as they do not wander far.
they would not need to be confined.
Mr. Rust states that the Mississippi
valley offers ideal conditions for snail
culture. There is no reason why
snails should not be used TO some ex-
tent as a substitute for oysters. which
they resemble In flavor. Their feed
