JOHN BELL FOUND
DEAD IN RED

John Bell. an old time miner. was found dead in his cabin on Belmont Point yesterday afternoon. It is probable that death resulted from heart failure and that it occurred some time Thursday night. as friends had been to see him that day. He had suffered from cold for several days and also complained of palpi- tation of the heart,
 Bell was born in Iowa and was about so years of age. but very little is known about him previous to com ing to Alaska. He first came to Nome in 1899 and followed the oc- equation of miner and prospector here, He was well liked and res pected by all who knew him. as he was quiet. peaceful and industrious person who went about attending 10 his own business. Tic funeral will be held under tae joint auspices of the Nome Miners Union and the Federal Labor Union. o' xhi'h or ganizations the decelsed had long been member.

IMPORTANT MAIL CHANGES ASKED
 FOR NoME-ouTLYINe SECTIONS

With that end in view we are writing you this letter. so that you
 may be advised of the conditions here. - The weight limit from Unalakleet (the Divisional poinp to Nome is 500 pounds once a week. while the mail arrives at Unalakieet from Tam ana twice a week. The natural re- suit of this service is considerable congestion of mail at the Divisional point. which accumuiates during the winter until along towards spring. when an emergency contract Is us- ually made with the carrier for bring ing this excess mail to Nome. some of which has laid at Unalakleet all winter. -H

HE PANS GOLD RIGHT IN
 HEART OF CHICAGO

Gold was discovered al South Wa bash avenue and East 1ath street by a prospector who used the old fashioned banning method of wash ing the yellow grains from the pay dirt.
 No gold rush is expected. however, because even if the hardy prospec- tors could force their dog teams over the dangerous territory represented by Wabash avenue in the process of being newly paved, they would dis cover that the pay dirt from which the gold was washed had come all the way from Nome. Alaska.
 s. R. L. Foster. prospector who has spent fifteen years in Alaska. and whose home is at 1920 South Ridgeway avenue. "discovers" gold many times a day for the benefit or visitors to the mining exhibition. Clad in the rough outfit of an Alas kan prospector. he leans over a tub of water. his prospector's pan in hand. and goes through the process by which the forty y-niners wrung gold from the soil in the early days Of the California rush. The same pro- cess is used today in Alaska and pro- bably will continue to be used as long as gold is mined. according to MT. Foster.

delays caused thereby could be avoided if this mail were routed via GOlovin.
 As an instance of the great incon- venience imposed upon the mining and commercial interests of tbjs Division by the present inadequate mall service. the mail from the Northern points. such as Candle. Deering and Haycock. including re- quisitions for summer supplies for merchants and operators, in the spring of 1921 was marooned at unalakleet until too late to make connection with the first boats from Nome for the Outside. Had this mail been routed over the direct route via Golovin 1t would have reached Nome in time to make the desired connection.

 EXHIBIT IN CHICAGO

Mrs. Anna Dukes of this city is in receipt of letter from Mrs. Watson of Riverside. Ill.. in which is en- closed clipping from the Daily News of Chicago. describing some of the features of the Mining Con- gress. recently held in Chicago.
 Mrs. Watson writes that the Alas ka exhibit occupied we'll selected central position. MT. Foster. who did the banning at the exhibition inform ed her that the remarkably fine selection of quartz specimens had been supplied by Mrs. Anna Dukes of Nome. Alaska.
 It is well established fact that Mrs. Dukes is the possessor of the finest collection of mineral speci- mems in Seward Peninsula, and like ly in the whole Of Alaska It is to ,ihe great credit of Mrs. Dukes that she permitted this valuable collec- tion to pass from her hands and be used for the purpose of advertising Nome and it's resoucres.
 The Mir. Foster mentioned in the article will be remembered by early Nomeites as being one of the third beach miners of 1907.

 These difficulties could all be over come by the letting of contract for the carrying of this mail sn excess of the weight limit at go much per pound at all times instead of waiting as heretofore until nearly the close of the winter season.
