Ten Rooms Be Added
 to Seward Hotel, Says
 Proprietor Oscar Dahl

The Hotel Seward, Oscar Dahl pro- prietor, will shortly be the scene of much activity. Ten rooms are to be added to the already large and com fortable hostelry. Lumber and ma- terial for the new addition, which will be on the third floor, directly to the rear, have been ordered from the States and should arrive on one of the next vessels. Upon it's arrival work will immediately start, Mir. Dahl said last evening. r
 Providing time will permit this fall he anticipates having, the entire building succeed, making when com pleted one of the handsomest look ing structures in town. The new rooms will correspond to other rooms in the hotel, and be modern in every respect. The addition to the hotel is being made because of increased pat ronage, rooms being at premium on many occasions.

DREDCE WORK AT NOME BEGINNING
 END THIS MONTH
YOUNG DRILLER WITH DREDG- ING co. GOING STATES TO
 STUDY MEDICINE.

Dredge work had not started in the Nome district up to the time John s. Bailey, who has been em- ployed as a drill man by the Ham, mon Consolidated Gold company, for the last two years and who passed thru Seward last week a passenger on board the Freighter Oduna for Seattle Thawing will cease by the latter part of this month after which two of the big boats will begin their work.
 MT. Bailey stated there were about 50 men engaged on the dredges for this company while they operated. The same number of drillers have been on the pay roll getting the ground in shape for the boats. He stated there were no idle men in Nome this season and that there was ample water for all mining actiVi- ties.
 MT. Bailey was one of the many stockholders in the Fred J. Wood gold mining venture, to which so much publicity has been given dur ing the past few years. He joined the company's vessel, Fred J. Wood, a four masted schooner which was later wrecked near Teller, arriving at Nome on it. He was not with the company long, he said, for he went to work for the dredge company a short time following his arrival at Nome. It was this schooner, MT. Bailey said, that relieved the coal

Lack of Water Is
 Same As Cash Says
 Buckland Placer Man

James McQuire, a placer operator from Buckland, in the Candle district which is considerable distance above Nome, was forced to shut down his workings this season due to lack of water, which was felt over the entire Northern region. MT. Nc Quire was a passenger on the Oduna which arrived in port last week en route to Seattle from Nome
 Fifteen men were employed on his ground this season until the closing period a few weeks ago. He has been on the ground for the last three years or since the new field was discovered. Pay runs fairly good, he said, but lack of water this year has been one of the handicaps which will have to be made up at later date. Water in that country means money, he said. He will spend the fall and winter at his home in California.

 FOR SOME TIME

The Chandelar placer and quartz caamp has been more or less quiet this season according to J. Rasmus- sen. who arrived in Seward last week from the interior camp Mr. Rasmus- sen was on his claim for about one and a half years and took out such small pay that he finally gave it up as a bad job There is lots of water in the district he states and probably 15 men working on the various prop critics.
 Pay was struck on Little Squaw creek last winter running as high as S2.25 to the foot The ground is deep but apparently very rich. Carlson & Buckley, owners of the ground, are sluicing at the present time.
 A little prospecting is being done this season. o. D. Nickerson on Big Creek is sluicing, MT. Rasmussen states. MT. Newton, on the same creek is open cutting at the head of the creek. The Chandelar district is about 15O miles north of Beaver on the Yukon river just below Circle City.
 MT. Rasmussen, who is stopping at the Seward hotel, likes the appear ance of Seward very much and pro- poses to remain here. In fact he is thinking of buying home and settling down for good.
