NORMAL PLACER
 PRODUCTION IN
 NOME DISTRICT
Col. Cotwals Gives Summary Of Nome Mining and
 Commercial Activities.

The gold production for the season just closed was something over $1,- 100000 according to Col. J. c. Got wals, Engineer Officer of the Alaska Road Commission, who arrived Sat urday night on the steamer North western after visit to Nome and vicinity. Normal mining activities with increased commercial life from Siberian trade and enlargement of by Col Gotwals
 "Placer mining, chiefly with dred- ges has continued much on the same scale as in the previous three or four years" said Col Gotwals. "A produc- tion of over s1,000,OO0 in gold for the present season is reported. This was produced for the most part from old workings However, Dime Creek, on the Koyuk River has assumed an added importance and is favored by a small content of platinum.
 Fuel Problem Flinders
 "The winning of the vast and practically untouched gold content Of t1e STdNel Ol S6WdTu 1eullSuld hinges largely on the securing of cheap power" he declared. The cost of outside coal, $45 ton laid down on the Nome market, is pro hibitive for the working of any but the richest claims with foreign coal as fuel. Oil is even higher in price"
 Col. Gotwals is impressed with the opportunity for water power develop ment as a solution for tho power problems for the mining industry "The two sources for local power. he said, "are first, the water power for the Salmon Lake project and the other, the Sawtooth project, which while not thoroughly studied, seems to have a possibility of ample pro- dustion of water power.

 May Get Local Coal
 In addition 10 the development of water power development there is also a chance for securing local coal, Col GotwaIs reports Some hope exists" he said. in mining coal from the Kugruk River This ap- pears to be a Ignite deposit It's transportation, however, is now i'm possible, no road being available The KugrUk- Candle road planned by the Alaska Road Commission as an nounced by Col James c. Steese recently, will pass through this dis trict and it is hoped will make pos sible it's development The coal de Dosits at Cape Lisburn appears to Cf- fer less hope for a solution of the serious fuel problem, as it is too far distant being about GOO miles away
 Development of Tin Mine
 About the only other mining in progress this season" said Col Got walls, was the development work on the tin mine at Lost River near Cape York. Twenty five tons of concentrates were shipped on the last Victoria from that property. There was no work done on gold lode min. ing or on the silver lode mine on the Kugruk River.
 Commerce Stimulated
 "The commercial activity of Sewart Peninsula has been stimulated" he said "by increased coasting trade chiefly with adjacent areas of Si beria This trade in which Nome

Lost in the Fog
 Honeymooners Miss The Boat Alameda

Two honeymooners, Mir. and Mrs. John Muller of Cordova got lost in the fog and missed the steamer Alameda on which they were passengers back to their home town after trip to Seattle. A wireless message sent to the vessel halted her for half an hour and the young folks accompanied by l.. D. Henderson, Commissioner of Education for Alaska who also missed the boat overlook her with a small boat.
 MT. and Mrs. Muller were married at Cordova several weeks ago. The bride was form erly Miss Clara Rosswog who spent her girlhood days on Gas tineau Channel. The groom is connected with the First Bank of Cordova.
 With no stars to guide them in their meanderings around the city, hand in hand, the fog enveloped them and they were lost. They found their way back to the city in some way and discovered that their vessel had left Thane on her way to the West. A gasboat was hired frantically and the boat caught by wireless and lay to for half an hour while the honeymoon CTS caught up and got aboard.

Walter Brown, charged with hav- ing in his possession for sale in- toxicating liquor and for having on his premises still and mash was taken into custody by officials from the U. S. Marshal's office last night and is now in the Federal jail awaiting a preliminary hearing.
 It is claimed that Brown was caught on the street trying to dis pose of two bottles of what is claim ed to be moonshine whiskey. After he was caught search warrant was secured and the cabin occupied by him on the Thane road was raided.
 In the raid several gallons of what the officers declare is white mule" was taken, several bottles of what is claimed had been white mule before it was diluted and colored and 8 still and some mash was taken according to the officials.
 In tests of the white mule said to have been made this afternoon Federal officials claim that is reg istered 40 proof, making 1t ac- colding to them the mule with the most powerful kick that has ever come into their hands The colored liquor they say, which has the color of regular rye whiskey of the old days shows a proof of about ninety and is said to be tempting locking stuff
 Picturesuue Surroundings.
 According to members of the Mar shals force the place where the still was discovered was an ideal one and was real picturesque. The little cabin is on an eminence just beyond the Alaska Juneau property with the Hume running right past the door. A little cellar, just right for a still house, is part of the property, and it is said the whole place backed by the brown tinge of the hills made an ideal spot for "moonshining
 From Kentucky.
 Brown, who is in custody, is from Louisville, Kentucky but disclaims any previous moonshining experience. He came here two months ago from Seattle after leaving his "Old Ken lucky Home" about the time pro hibition went into effect all over the nation.

 The local production of furs and ivory from the Seward Peninsula also has continued undiminished The quality of ivory carved, however, is said to have suffered somewhat from the loss during the flu epidemic last year of many of the best carvers.
 Reindeer Industry Grows
 Col Gotwals also reports increased activity in the reindeer export trade said, "has been the serious beginning of the production of reindeer meat for export. One thousand carcasses were shipped out on the last Victoria and it seems certain that this delic ious meat will find a ready market and a continued one in the States. Four cold storage plants have beer completed by herd owners, one al Candle. another at Nome, one at Col ovin and the fourth at Unalakleet. With increased cold storage facilities on vessels carrying Seward Peninsula shipping and with the present exten- sive herds owned in the same dis trict. preparations have been made to send out large annual produc tion.'
 Enjoys Trip
 Col. G0twals declared that he en- toyed his Nome visit very much, it being his first 10 that section of the Territory. He left Seattle on October ?, on the Victoria. Among his fellow messengers were Mrs w. A. Holz heimer and daughter Katherine and Mrs. Dr. Kittelson, who were going in for the winter after visit to tho States. The trip to Nome was rough.
 The day following his arrival he secured Leonard Seppella and his famous team of Siberian dogs, and in the "puD-mobile' went to Shelton >n he Nome-Kugruk railroad, now owned by Jafet Lindobcrg After some little delay on account of early snowfall, he returned to Nome week later The remainder of the time was spent on the Nome-COuncil road and the Nome local roads travel at that esason of the year, he said, being very difficult. He left Nome on the Victoria on October p, reaching Latouche five days later, the vessel being forced to put in there in order to secure fuel oil The trip out while it was crowded on the Victoria, was marked by rather good weather conditions The voyage 1 from Nome 10 Unimak Pass was made in 46 hours which stands as record for the trip
 Among his fellow passengers on i he Victoria, were Jafet Lindeberg. r. S. Marshal E. R. Jordan, George Goshaw. James Kelliher and Jack i Matthews, of Kugarok, Judge George l Schofield, Senator James Frawley, 1 Ira D, Orton, l. P Daily, and other oldtimers of the Nome district
 Col. Gotwals was in Latouche some little time and visited the mine there, taking the Northwestern for l Juneau. The vessel was forced to ! lay off Cross Sound for three hours waiting for the fog to lift before it could get into the inside Passage.
