LATE NEWS
FROM NOME
Miners Stake Claims on the Ice of
Hchring Sea Operations on Many
Creeks.
.Si:atti,i:, Wash., March 14. Nome
papers bh late as December 5th have
bt'on received in this city.
A number of fearless and enterprising
Nome minora risked their lives to stake
claims on Untiring Son. They went out
on the ice and drove stakes by which
they intend to hold the claims during
the coming summer. The ground where
thin look place is ofr the mouth of the
Snake river, where the noil is supposed
to lie very rich with the precious metal.
Some of those who went out dug through
the ice and got good prospects from the
bottom of the water. They intend to
hold the land until summer and then
work it by means of dredgers. William
Armstrong, G. W. Sinter and William
Sutton are the owners of these unique
claims.
Work is being done on many of the
creeks around isome, according to ttie
Gold Digger. Many cabins have been
erected upon the benches of Grass Gulch
ami Newton Gulch. Messrs. .lames and
tmtiroke, owners of the Daisy claim,
have five men at work. They have
drilled into the pay streak about 50 feet,
and have found dirt wortii as high as
from $2 to $25 per pan.
On Alder Gulch, near Toller City,
there le u report that u very valuable
bench claim has been located, where
cold ruiiB us high as $25 to tiie pan. The
headwaters of Quartz Creek was the lute
scene of a rich strike. A party of Lap
landers made a find, and tiiere was a
stampede at once. At Norton Bay the
miners were not taking any chances on
their claims, and us a result, there was
considerable assessing going on.
A ninn named O'Keilly made the
richest strike of the winter he dis
covered u coal mine, and one at that
which could be worked during the coldest
of the winter weather, and as a conse
quence no made a vast lortune. 'It uas
near the place where the barge Skookum
met her fate, and the mini named it
Skookum Bur. A rush was made to the
recorder's office, but at the last accounts
tho owner was holding his property.
Dog-stealing seems to have been the
v orst form of vice at Nome this year.
Frequently in now rushes, it is Bai.l,
many of theso animals are stolen, and
their owners never fine' them.
Schooner Lady George was wrecked i
Norton Sound the first week in December
Captain Hanks, of Nome, was arrested
on complaint of his wife, who accused
him of assault with a deadly weapon
and he was placed under $1000 bonds

President Directs That Flags on Public
Buildings Be Placed at Half-Staff
Funeral Services Sunday.
Washington, March 14. The Nation
al Capital is in mourning today for
former President Harrison. Flags are
at half-mast upon all public buildings,
the hotels, stores and many of the
private residences. The act of 1S93 in
hibits the draping of public buildings in
black, as waB the custom formerly upon
the death of a former president. Presi
dent McKinley directed that the doors
of the executive maneion be closed to
visitors, and denied himself to callers
except those who had business of urgent
importance. He will attend the funeral.
Mrs. McKinley probaoly will accompany
him as far as Canton, where he may
stop over one day.
At 10:30 this morning, President Mc
Kinley issued the following proclamation:
"Executive Mansion, Washington, D.
C, March 14, 1901. To the people of
the United StateB: Benjamin Harrison,
president of the United States from 1889
to 1S93, died yesterday at 4 :45 p. m., at
bis home in Indianapolis. In his death
the country haB been deprived of one of
its dearest citizens. A brilliant soldier
in his young manhood, he gained fame
and rapid advancement by his energy
and valor. As a lawyer, he rose to be a
leader of the bar. In the senate he at
once took and retained his rank as an
orator and legislator, and in the high
office of president he displayed extra
ordinary gifts as adminislrator and
statesman. In public and private life be
set a shining example for his country
men. In testimony of the respect in
which his memory iB held by the govern
ment and the people of the United States,
I do hereby direct that the flags on the
executive mansion and the several de
partmental buildings be displayed at
half-mast for a period of 30 days ; and
uitable military and naval honors, under
the orders of the secretaries of war and
of the navy, be rendered on the day of
the funeral."
In pursuance of this proclamation, the
flags on every public building in the
United States ; at every army poBt in the
United StateB, Cuba, Porto Rico, Ha
waii and the Philippines, and on every
American warship in whatever quarter
of the globe will fly at half-mast for
30 davs.
Will Ask Sultan to "guttle."
Nkw Yohk, March 14. A special to
the World from Washington says : The
cruiser New York will stop at Taugier
n the way to Manila and take on board
Consul-General Gummere, who will be
conveyed to the nearest port to' the
Moroccan capital. The consul-general
iB to demand that the sultan settle the
laiuiB of American citizens against his
government. The New York will await
the return of the consul-general.
The sultau recently liquidated one
claim against his government, but there
are a number of other claims still pend
ing which he has shown no disposition
to settle.
The consul-general could make the
trip from Tangier on merchant vessels
plying in those waters, but it lias been
the policy of the administration to im
press the sultan by u naval demonstra
tion in Moroccan waters.
Most of the claims grew out of inter
ference by Moroccan government oflicials
ith commercial agents of American
business concerns. The amount in
volved is not lurge, but a principle is at
take.
ONE OP
...Our New Spring Styles...
The "Military" Sack Suit.
Perfect Pitting.
Superbly Tailored.
Made of an unfinished worsted, the most popular
suiting of the season ; navy blue with a faint light stripe.
The coat is made to fit snugly, to the figure in the back,
with well-balanced shoulders, giving that very stvlish
broad-shouldered appearance. Corners are half rounded.
Average length 30 inches. Trousers aie a trifle wider at
knee than last eeaeon ; same bottom.
As soon as the weather
clears
you will be ready for your new spring suit anyway
in time for Easter; we will take that much for
granted, at -least.
Now when yon're ready or before come in.
The first of the spring styles Bre here. You will par
don us for Baying, they are the finest at the price ever
shewn in this store which is saying a good deal, we
admit. If you are not yet ready to buy or look feel
assured that a few days more will see the assortment
doubled and full ot the choicest creations of this
country's best tailors which means of the world.
A word to those who would wear made-to-measure
clothes : Unless you can afford to patron
ize the very beet merchant tailor and pay his fancy
price, buy and wear ready-made clothing.
The ready-made clothing of today is not what it
used to be. It has, like everything else, followed
closely in the wake of progress, and is today as far
superior to its former kind as the up-to-date stores
of the present time are to the primitive cross-roads
stores of the early days. It is far superior to the av
erage merchant tailor work, in quality of materials
(inside and out), is more stylishly cut and finished
and if price-difference is any object to you ia only
about half the tailors',6gures.
There is no reason on
earth
Why a man who is within calling distance of this
sttre should have bis clothing made to measure.
When our spring line is complete we challenge the
man who says we cannot suit or fit him.
