The poles drifted upright in the ice and were all successfully salvaged, having been snaked out by Rowe's teams. The drift of the ice continued steadi- 'ly all day yesterday with the wind inclined to vecr slightly to the southwark The ice pitching against the dock somewhat delays opera tions as the company does not in- tend to do any permanent work on the pier until after the danger from such drift ice is over.

The ice where not too heavy and got grounded. was moving along all the time at a lively pace.

 Sluicing is now practically geu eral, and all mining operations are getting well opened up for the regu lar summer season. The past few days has seen great progress with dredges and hydraulic mining com- panies throughout the camp. Over hauling the dredges will have to wait the opening of naviation for the receipt of missing parts which have to be replaced.
 The first of the Nome fleet to hit the water was the native owned schooner Jewel Guard, chartered by John Felkel for a trading trip. The schooner was launched on Saturday morning in Snake river and it took the better part of a day to get in the freight and cargo which will be used for trad ing and for the traders on the trip. The weather was ideal and the boat got safely clear of the drifting ice apparently. as well as could be seen, quickly and well. The Jewel Guard is going to St Lawrence Island but it is not likely that Felkel will proceed beyond that point, howeve! inviting may be the trade, to Sibe- ria. A fine clean up of foxes, etc, is usually made by the first schoon~ CT that visits St. Lawrence island It is however somewhat risky ac- cording to old mariners who have sailed in trading schooners in all seasons, to start so early on a trad ing trip in Boring Sea.
