Special Correspondence
 The weather continues mild. the heeWaiik river is not yet frozen over put the open mining season is closed TOT all except the dredge of the Can- die Creek Mining Company which Ia likely to continue operation for soine tlme. About 15 people intending to spend the winter outside have been anXlously waiting for nearly two weeks for the ship that never re- turned. The streams not yet being frozen. and the water being very high. 1t Is almost impossible to go overland to Nome and people whose business makes 1t imperative that they catch the last boat out from Nome. are worrying. There has been nothing to prevent boat from getting into kee- walik up to date and it certainly seems an outrageous state of affairs that people who are willing to pay for such accommodation as Is afford ed. and on which they have been de- pending, should be left in the lurch at this season of the year.
 What nearly proved a sad accident was happily averted a few evenings ago when the little daughter of MT. and Mrs. Riley broke through the ice ct the confluence of Candle creek and the Keewalik river.
 The little girl. who Is only five years old. was accompanied by her little playmate, Dolly .Snider. aged seven, who with the intuition re- sourcefulness and courage of the child of the north, promptly reached out, grasped the hand of her little friend and rescued her from her ice bath.
 Had 1t not been for little Dolly's prompt and brave action, the little girl had surely perished as no other help was at hand. and the water being high, the current is considerable. It was surely very brave and courag- tCus rescue by a very resourceful lt- tie girl under the necessarily difficult conditions concomiteant with this class of accidents and with which we Ire all familiar. On being interro- ga ted. the youthful heroine spoke of the incident as of the most common place and natural thing in the world. and as though rislsing her life of reach out for, and grasp her little chum's hand and land her safely on the Ice, were nothing at all.
 MT. George WallIn, proprietor of the Kugruk coal mine, Is opening up the mine so as to be in a position to supply the Inmachuk and Candle with native Ignite coal. With the same object in view Mir. Holgar Johnson. our enterprising freighter Is repair- ing the midway roadhouse and horse barns at the head of Minnehaha creek.
 Mir. Ivor Johnson proposes to aug ment his dredging activities on Candle next year and to that end Is having his dredge dismantled preparatory to floating 1t down to the sea. on the spring freshet. and thence towing it around to that part of the Keewalik river near the mouth of Candle creek where we understand, he pro- poses to commence operation next year
