Wise Observations

If good ever comes to you, you'n have
to 20 after It.
To die for ones country IS fine, but
to live for ones country Is better.
One way to lose your credit Is to
have too much
1t Is unwise TO pry too closely into
the business Of a hornet.
If you don't want to get hit keep
away from where hitting Is going on.
The man who wants everything he
sees Is likely in the end not TO be able
to get what he needs

The accident to Harry Melvin, who came in from Kougarok few days ago with a broken leg due to an un : expected explosion of dynamite. took place in drif. on property owneu by Ed Fox and calls attention to this mans' almost unprecedented efforts to find lost vein. Fox has been plugging away on this ground. which f is on the Kougarok, miles east of Dahl creek. for IS years. And in all that time he has found nothing to z courage him except a. the very start and recently. He says the req son he ever took up the ground and bt gan work there was because in 1901 as he was passing along he saw where some placer miners had sunk a shaft. He chanced to examine the dirt thrown out and noticed some blue- black rock which was very heavy. He says 1t fascinated him an he took some of it 70 camp and in
 
 a hot fire made of black birch i1 his stove he roasted the ore until 1t glowed. To his amazement bubbles or blisters, of gold showed on the orc ard he was convinced 1t was telluride ore of very high grade. AS the ground was then staked by the placer prospectors he waited until 1t was abandoned, and then put up stakes of his own. Since then he has been trying to find the ledge. Ills last effort was shaft 22 feet deep and d drift f16 feet in the solid rock Hero is where Melvin was hurt. They had encountered tale and genuine fssur, vein into which the tunnel had beer driven four feet. Fox says that Mel vih was so enthusiastic that he got up at o'clock in the morning to go to work for he was so sure, as was Fox, that the long sought telluride ore Is not many feet away. Fox Is confident, as he always has been. that he is going to open up an exceedingly rich mine there and has wired ou for money to enable him to go back and finish the job. He expects to re- turn to the Kougarok in about two weeks.

 Things progressed well yesterday until about 4:S0 uD to which time 27 deer had bean Killed and dressed.

The deer were located today on Newton mountain and re- tuned to Nome. Whether any are missing is not yet known
 An interested party is quoted as saying that care must be taken b. both deer men and dog men to the end that their interests do not clash. When deer are brought to market notice should be given of such fact and then in case dogs are not tied up and later are injured or killed. blame could not attack to the dee' m n. It should be remembered tha deer do not iljure dogs. but one doe can do great injury to a thousand deer. After :he experience of las night no chances will be taken to per init It's repetition. .
