past three years there has been a steady increase in the volume of the output and there is no reason to believe that there would not have been a further increase in the pro- duotion of the present year were it not that untoward weather conditions curtailed the mining season. It may be a had season but there is no req son to feel discouraged with the fu- ture prospects. They are at least as good as they were a while back. Things are admittedly a triie bad now but the season is not over and the outlook for the future is no worse than il has been for long, long time The country is not worked out by a long way and most of us will not be looking for prosperity when it is Un- ii il is. none of us should feel like giving up the ghost or sending for the undertaken

He is going to work a month later than usual and will wind up at the end of the sea- son a full month short in his pay. Not having had a chance 10 earn anything he cannot be expected to spend anything for a while The re- suit is that business is poor.

There seem to be a strong and very prevalent inclination among the busi- ness men of the city 10 regard the business outlook for Nome as very gloomy and the howl that the camp Is decadent and the country worked out is again dolefully raised on every s1de. Al first glance il appears quite rue that there Is but slender basis for hope for prosperous summer season. Conditions at present are neither as good as usual nor do they contain much of promise for 'he im- mediate future Concerning the out laos for the permanent future 5f the C nap, however. prospects are not near so blue as some of the despondent 5nes seem to imagine. Nome Is bu. 'Ir,Is worse of today. as far as the outlook Is concerned. than il was year CT two or three ago. Business men did moi consider that the cams was entirely gone 10 the dogs then. They recognized that the volume Of business was dyindling with the de- cine Tn gold production but no one Saw any pa1zipular reason to feel inorlIhate discouraged. Nor is there actually ny more reasos for them to feel unduy cast down now. It hap pens that this year conditions were bad from the very start of the sea son. The summer was well advanced before an ounce of gravel was turned over in the hills
 In fact. the mining season is scarce ly more than started at present. This. naturally. makes very big differ ence in business conditions. With no pay roll. it Is very natural that there should be but little business. It Is the man who works m ihe hills. the man who has job, who keeps the camp prosperous. II isn't the busi- ness man or the operator or the clerk T. is the chap on the number two and no one else. The others contribute.

Nj. Jordan Rushing
Work on Mill Dam

1t took w. G. Jordan only a few
seconds to:make up his mind just what
he was going to do. after looking over
his wrecked flour mill, rendered so by
the breaking of his big dam during the
food of July II. He decided that the
quicker he could reconstruct his dam
and place back a part of the machin
cry which had been washed down the
stream, the Quicker he could keep the
growing trade for Purity" -four sup
piled.
Mr.. Jordan secured a large force pf
men and at once began the building of
a concrete wing Of his dam and some
abutments for the big steel water
wheel which was torn away during the
food. He is overseeing the work him
self and thinks that his mill will be
running sometime this month. =
Purity -four has won quite repu-
tation in the homes of many Hender-
son county people. They are no doubt
eager to begin using this county pro-
duct again. Mr.. Jordan is well pleas
ed with the way in which his flour;
both white and graham have been sell
ing. AS soon as his mill begins opera
ton again a sample sack of flour will
be distributed among the housewives
who are not using Purity -four.
