They have had a somewhat interrupted season mining, mainly on account of water shortage in the middle of the season. They also suffered a delay owing to bad break in the ditch after a heavier than usual rainfall.

 Owing to the late sailing of the last trip of the Victoria for Nome, l it is earnestly requested that all | orders for freight be placed in Seat tie prior October 10th, to effect de- livery. R. ACarroll, agent of the Alaska Steamship has received re- quest from Seattle to this effect Operations are closing down all over, not so much because the con ditions make it impossible to con- tinue, but because all the ground | opened up has been mined and the miners prefer not to do any more dead work this season when there | is not much chance of the season be-
 ing so prolonged as to enable them | to continue

The owners of the Ram announce that the schooner will leave immediately upon it's arrival here for Dime creek in what is ex- pected to be the last trip of the sea- son.
 Present indications are that there will be a great deal of prospecting done this winter. Leases have been issued for ground adjoining the Diamond L where Spaghetti Dan and partners, whose lease expired this month, found very good pay during the summer. They have not a renewal of the lease. Another sec tion where there is to be more work done during the winter is on the Second Beach line. AS far as the winter population of Nome is con- cerned while there is not likely to be any larger population than in previous years, it is almost certain that there will be very slight diff erence indeed.
 The man Blythe who was indicted of larceny by the Grand Jury was sentenced to one year in the peni- tentiary. The native larcenists all pleaded guilty to brass thefts and their sentence will be announced on Monday. In the case of the United States versus Joseph Jessup indicted of larceny, his attorney asked that the indictment be quashed because alleged to have been secured under a false confession, alleged to have been secured under duress. The motion was over-ruled. Hugh O'Neil is acting for the defendant. The grand jury is still in session and a good many witnesses were ex- amined upon the matters which came before it yesterday.
