A heavy gale was blowing at the time but the Wave ploughed her way along until reaching Corwin point, where she was hove to in the shelter of the land for several hours. much to the relief of the passengers. With the breaking of day the schooner again turned her nose to the south and af- ter rough passage made her way through the straits and passed Cape of Wales.
 Leaving the cape they were again compelled to fight their way through tempestuous seas until reaching Tel ler--a trip that was not accomplish ed until thirty three hours after leaving the cape. This portion of the trip is described as unusually severe the vessel fighting the gale and heavy seas for every inch of prog ress made. It was too rough to stop at York or any point between Tel Ter and the cape. Leaving Grantley

Frank Miller, the well known miner
 arrived on the Silver Wave from Tel
 Ter and reports that the new Bernard
 dredge on Swanson creek is fast
 in commission. The other active
 dredges in the vicinity of Port Clar-
 ehce are reported working and doing
 well. Charles Haering and his sons are said to be sluicing on Sunset | creek and doing well. Water has been | somewhat short and mining has been slightly retarded in consequence However. Hischberg and few others are working at various points. Joe Goodwin is working on a tin lode and is taking out some ore with the as- l sistance of a couple of employed men, | Mcintosh is also at work on a lead silver lode. Both contemplate ship ping ore this fall, there bcing a good
 market for the metals represented at present Wm. O'Brien is also working on his tin mine and has n couple of men | employed. The work is preparat tory | and will probably be continued dur ing the coming winter. Miller also says that the fishermen of the Port Clarence section are doing well and l a large amount of fish has already
 been packed with still greater quan- titles in prospect before the season closes. Salmon are said to D, par ticularly abundant.

harbor, the vessel fought her way through the gale. which was still blowing with terrific violence. and stopped at 1SIshou river where they were again compelled to lay over for twenty fonr hours. From Tishou down 10 Sledge island the gale bore heav- fly on the schooner and everyone was extremely glad to reach the calmer waters in the lea of the island. After remaining behind the island for period of twenty four hours. the Wave sailed for Nome at noon yes terday, arriving here about three thirty Some of the passengers say that they felt like shouting with joy when the vessel came lu sight of Nome.
 The following made the trip. From kotzebue: Miss Hunnicott. Antone Garibn, A. Harlem, J. I.ltzenberg, from Teller. Thomas Gaffney and Frank Miller.

Reports from the Victoria last eve
 ming said that the work of discharg-
 ing cargo will be completed about two o'clock this afternoon and the ves- sel will sail for Nome. Allowing nine or ten hours for the trip, the Vic should arrive here about two or three o'clock in the morning A number of Belt Line tourists will be brought over. After arriving here something like two hundred and fifty tons of large iron pipe, which is to be taken to the outside for the Pioneer Mining Company, will be placed aboard, and, as this will require some little time, the steamer will probably not get away

tor the sound until the afternoon :.

Persons with technical knowledge of road building arriving from the east coast say that the territorial road commission Is building an excellcntly constructed road between Fort Davis and Cape Nome.
 The commission is cordoroying the lower places with heavy layer of driftwood from the sea beach and is surfaclng with bed of sod about eighteen inches to two feet In thick ness over which the gravel will be laid. The construction Is about four teen to sixteen feet in width and Is being evidently laid with an aim to durability.
 In recent interview with the Mug get reporter. A. D. Poteet, of the ter ritoral road commission, stated that the gravel will be laid within a week or ten days, on the section on which the founda ton has been laid but no graveling is going on at present. The crew employed numbers about twenty four men. Mir. Poteet says that there has been some condemnation of the work in certain quarters. principally on account of an alleged lack of speed the intention of the territorial com mission to build a good road while stant and heavy maintenance costs usually associated with the roads al- not be at least partially obviated.
 AR additional inducement to con manner as possible is that the road when completed will be a most im- portant artery, as 1t will ultimately be connected with the Solomon Coun- ci road and will undoubtedly be sub ject to heavy traffic strains.
 Under the plans formulated no ditching will he done if it can possi- bly be avoided. owing to the desire to avoid the cutting away of the grade by running water. which usual ly occurs in n greater or less degree where ditching Is done. Culvcrts will be placed at all natural drainage points to carry away accumulated rain water, but otherwise there will be no attempt to ditch the highway.
 John A. Wilson. chairman of the territorial road board for this sec tion leaves today for the Dime creek district to look over the road re- quirements of that locality. The board will probably not undertake any degree of road construction there this summer. owing to numerous diff faculties. but Mir. Wilson ray let the contract for poles for newt summers crerai 'ons The board hrs also been advised that construction work on the Harshall road, between Willow creek and the river landing is near ing completion. It is expected that the work will be ended in another week or so. The road is well built and will fill a long felt want.
 The cost will be somewhat higher than at first estimated and 1t Is ex- pected that approximately s10,000 will have been expended when the road is finished.

Arrivals on the Silver Wave report that there are rumors of a rich strike at Walker lake, in the upper Kobuk river section. Much secrecy appears to be connected with the movement of men leaving the lower Kobuk for the upper river country. Il Is also reported that quite a few men are heading for the scene of the supposed strike from the Koyukuk district Whether anything has been dlscov- cred or not is a matter of conjecture as nothing definite can be learned at present.

Rowe's teams returned from trip to oregon creek yesterday after a trip of four days duration and report unusually heavy trails and hard go- ing on the route.

The Silver Wave returned from the north yesterday afternoon bringing a number of passengers from northern and western points together with the mail. Capt. Swan reports that the long delay was due to continued storms which compelled the vessel to lay to for varying intervals at several points. In the words of Capt. Swan, 1t was blowing living gale throughout almost the entire journey and the staunch little vessel was bat tered and buffeted without cessation from the time of leaving Kotzebue un- til her arrival in the lee of Sledge island Wednesday. The schooner departed from Kotzebue Friday fast.
