The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-01-03

The Worker is informed that this
 stalking takes in practically all of the beach for a considerable dis
 tance.
 There is more reindeer meat be- ing offered for sale by natives this year than in many seasons. Whether 1 there is as much bought is another | question. Everynow and then they do get rid of half carcase or so to prospector who is leaving town for the creeks. The price is some-
 where around seventeen and half
 cents a pound in large chunks.
 Fur garments made and repaired at the Nome Tailoring Go.
 Some rosey accounts of farming opportunities have arrived on the
 last mail from Anchorage where many former Nomeites are settled. One well known Nomeite who has settled on a piece of ground along the line says that he turned down 70 cents an hour working for the railroad because he could make more on. his ranch.
 Yesterday dispatches were de- layed arriving owing to the fact that Valdez suffered from an incendiary fire which so threatened the cable station that the signal corps men vacated the premises and only re- turned when the fire was got under control. The bulletins issued on the fire show that three thousand dol lars worth of damage was done, part of which is covered by insurance. This is the third fire which Valdez has suffered from almost within year. This fire is said to have been of incendiary origin as it broke out in four widely seperate buildings and had gained great headway. It was also reported in bulletin from the stricken town that the federal authorities were holding suspect for the crime of arson. No intima- tion is given out as to what would have led up to this incendiarism, nor is any reason known for it. The most important business houses were all seriously damaged by the fire and the Golden North hotel to- tally destroyed.
 Patronize the Nome Tailoring Go. Why? Because they do the best work, and- are the only pioneer tailors in Nome.
 L. A. Davison who has been look ing after the Taylor store and road house for some time during the ab- sence of the lost proprietor Conrad Breeding returned to Nome on New Years Day, coming down with Pete Yeager from the Hot Springs. He says that nothing new has resulted in the search for Preceding and hope of recovering him before spring has been practically abandoned. Mrs. Breeding is bearing up we'll consid- ;ering her bereavement. The most remarkable thing about the winter this season in the Kougarok is that it is intensely cold and blows steadi- ly from the North. On his way down from Taylor he was detained sev- eral days at the Hot Springs by reason of weather conditions al- though he had fine trip from there to Nome. He left Taylor on De- cember 26 with Harry Corbin who was returning to the Hot Springs. They have been effecting some con siderable improvements. in the Springs hotel among other things being a steam room which will add to the use and value of a sojourn at these medicinal springs. Barney Kelley was recuperating at the Springs when Davison left, but he was the only visitor. Dyfed Evans the school teacher at Mary's Igloc visited the Hot Springs with his wife and child while they were wait ing to come to Nome, Evans only just called at the. Springs, coming with reindeer teams and returning the same day to Shelton. There is little mining going on. mainly ow- ing to the very severe weather that has prevailed. Bob Wells was pros pecting g. bench of the Kougarok river and other miners were also also sinking after the elusive.
