SOLOMON NOTES
(Continued From Page One)

dealing with the Comptroller Eill., and other things, are read with av- idity by his adherents and others in the Solomon and Casa De Paga sections. The circular clarifies. the bill and makes it possible to intel ligently discuss it.
 Many have learned with surprise that his opponent for the Senator ship, while Representative. voted against what. is dear to old tim CTS and others (and particularly to the writer as he must soon lay down the burden of his labors through old age. and mayhap ap- ply for it)-an increase in the pen, sion of pioneers.
 The late rains and swollen rivers have brought home the necessity of having landing field for airplanes somewhere around the divide be- tween Solomon and the Casa. Such landing field would enable oper- ators to go to Nome and attend to their business and be back in few hours, and also investors. to whom time is valuable, could avail themselves of the rapid transit and arrive at their destinations without being fatigued, and they could view conditions from a rosier standpoint.
 A natural landing is to be found on Canyon creek on the right limit of the Casa and about three miles from the head of Solomon. Anoth- CT. upon which some work would have to be done, is at the confluence of Ruby creek and the Casa. about four miles from the head ,of Solo mon, and close to the head of the corduroy road. The next legisla- ture could possibly make an appro priation for the survey and build ing of such landing field.
 There is a big run Of salmon in the Casa, and at it's junction with Canyon creek several fishermen are putting up their winters supply.
 MT. L. D. Henderson paid the Road Commission camp a short vis-t, it and returned to Solomon where, l We understand. he went on business 1 pertaining to his department.
 Lew Berry and Tracy Swanson who have been prospecting all sum- r.er below where Charley Andersonf is working were to go 70 work for the Road Commission .'e first of September. but when approached by foreman Redwood and asked tp fulfill their promise, they said: Nothing doing. We have struck pay" The extent of their find is unknown to the writer as yet.
 Sam Gaylord, on his way to Nome from the Casa, was with us for awhile and all the reports pub lished by the Nugget about the Casa were confirmed by him. He also states that in an old channel he has struck pay The ground is frozen and is IS feet to bedrock. It would be a good drifting pro- position for the winter, but the returns are too slow, so he'll make arrangements for dredge or a hydraulic plant and work the ground during the summer. His faith in the Casa as big factor in the gold production of Seward Peninsula is stronger than ever, and he should know as he spent many years there and today he is taking well earned royalty from his ground
 l Charley Anderson has been un- able to work his ground during the high water and started pros pecting on piece of ground in l.ne with where Berry and Swan7l son struck pay, and has taken out from eight to sixteen dollars a; day. Charley thinks he has struck a new paystreak, but it is more than probable that it is but con- centration of the gold left when Solomon was gutted. But when other miners than the above are doing better than wages. it is self evident that Solomon is by no means an exhausted placer.
 Mrs. Bernard passed through here today bound for MT. Quig- ley's camp, where she will take m the duties that were severed
