Special Nugget Correspondence) <. Solomon, Aug. 4. 1927 Nome Nugget
 A few days ago excitement ran high amongst the natives and con- sternation was rampant amongst the reindeer However. the ex- citement died out and apparently the reindeer forgot their fear as they again resumed their normal life. preparing to be slaughtered to feed the fastidious in our for and near cities The caust, of it all was polar bear that had wan dered far from his northern home creek.
 The native hunters. we'll armed. followed his tracks. seven miles wide-how long was not reported until he--or maybe it was she alarmed through some cause. re- turned to the ocean and his where abouts at present is unknown to the writer The natives are keep ing sharp lookout for his return and it is possible he or she may make raid upon Nome It may be well for the mighty Nimrods of that section to oil up their 30.4Gs and be ready to defend. even to the death. the town of their love and homes.
 In few days the Road Commits sion will move their camp to Show el creek and work up toward the head of Solomon river Rapid and efficient progress has been made in renovating the old road and building new where the Solomon river threatened destruction.
 Mining activity is somewhat slow through lack of water and other causes. yet work is continuous and no idle men around.
 Ross Kinney. Superintendent of the Road Commission. visited the camp a few days ago on his way to Council He crossed over the divide between Solomon and the Casadepaga. visited the dredge. and then followed the Casadepaga. The distance travelled by him in one run was forty-five miles and that thru country without road or trail. His trip was in the light of a recon naissance in view of the fact that road may run through there later on if the new mining activities war rant it. His return was by the way of Fox river. the East Fork and Solomon. and that in rainy and mis- erable weather. The hardships of the trip can be appreciated by the sourdoughs of the travelling type The Cheechakos should try it and then they'll believe.
 Billy Rowe the veteran team ster arrived this D. m. on his way to the Casadepaga with oil and other supplies for Peck's dredge. He'll be several days on the trip.
 Joe Fielder. transfer man of this section. is making daily trips sup plying the dredges along Solomon river with the needed supplies.
 The natives are busy catching their winters supply of fish. and soon the hills will be blue with the fast ripening and luscious blue berry. Even now the succulent salmon berries grace the tables of the Alaskan epicures. Who would not be an Alaskan? Not me.
