 UNALAKLEET, March 9.-Charles Traeger who has bought out Dwyer and Steinhouser, merchants of this place. left for St. Michaels. He will go from there to Marshal city to settle some mining business by the first of June.
 Mir. Denning Wheeler the myster- ious visitor to the North arrived here on March 2. year from his last visit. MT.

 The Nome Chamber of Commerce held banner meeting yesterday and took up variety of questions all of which are intimately associ- ated with the we'll being of Nome. The coal question, the mail question, the pumping plant, the recorder for Dime and other. business engaged the attention of the members for some time.
 On the coal question F. J. Meilke from the depth of his valuable ex- perience gave good counsel to the members. The mail question was also discussed and considerable pro gress shown. A committee of the Chamber will act in coniunctioa with the council in the matter of lighting and pumping plant. The matter of recorder for Dime creek was also up John F. Donahue who happened to be ill Marshal at the time a recorder was appointed said that that appoint ment was due to the efforts of the N. c. Co. which had staked Rhodes The miners had met and appointei a recorder before that, and paid in fees for records. When Waskey tumbled in on them as Commissioner they had to pay and record all over again. Marshal" said Donahue, got recorder through the N. c. Go. when not half as much activity was as is now being done al Dime'. A Committee was appointed to see Judge Tucker on the matter.
 The Morningside Insane Asylum also engaged the attention of the Chamber and strong representations were made on the subject. The Chamber will take this matter up strongly. The closing down of the Detention Hospital also came in for 3 good share of attention.
 The Chamber of Commerce meet | ing showed that it is getting into the way of being live wire and will he heard from. Correspondence
