In epeaking of conditions about Nome Mr. Karll said that mining eonditions weke im- proving and that the placer ground now known of would hold ‘out for at least twen- ty-five years. The old-fashioned way of working & placer clalar, he sald, is being abandoned and hydraulic power substi- tuted. . “There is plenty of capital,” sald Mr. Karll, “to develop the - recently «found claims. Most of the money for the improve- ments in and around Nome comés from the United Btates and England. The best min- ing is found in deep placer claims and pays much better than in placer mining along creeks.” As for the food supply at Nome Mr. Karll sald that there was plenty of everything and that prices were not exorbitant. For instance, fresh meat pan be purchased for 8 cents a pound, whils bacon and ham sell for from 16 to % cents a pound. A great deal of the fresh and cured meat used at Nome comes from SBouth Omaha, while the canned goods are sent there by Chicago packers. Mr, Karll oame down from Nome on the steamer Ohfo.” ‘This ship carried 600 pas- sengers and about $500,000 in gold belonging to the passengers and the mining comn- panies. The company which Mr, Karll has an interest in owna 4600 acres of land on Boulder creek, which is a tributary to the Binook river. 'This property is thirty miles trom Nome.

METHODIST HERE FOR A WEEK Gen "y ary Conferemce Be- #lns Wednesday and Continues Seven Days. nt Order of oclation. will The International session of the general missionary committee of the Methodist church begins its meeting In Omaha on Wednesday, continuing one week. The sessfonis will be held in the First Methodist church, The general missionary committes s so oconstituted as to represent the entire de- nomination territorially. It has authority the quadrennial sessions of the general conference, and to make all appropriations of money for use at bome and abroad, ex- cept the sum of $50,000 which is placed an- nually at the disposal of the board of man- agers of the Missionary soclety by constitu- tional - enactment, ‘with which to provide for unforeseen emergencies. The general committee divides the whole church into fourteen districts, each containing ap- proximately the same number of constitu- ents, and so far as possible consisting of contiguous territory. From each of these districts the general conference appoints quadrennially one person to serve on the general committes for a term of four years. It is the duty of each of these rep- fesentatives to study carefully the needs of his own district, that he may be able to represent it fully and fairly to the commit- tee as a whole, at its annual sessions, when the appropriations are made. The board of managers sends annually an equal num- ber of representatives. The board repre- sentatives have to do with the administra- tion of the missionary work of the church at home and abroad from month to month, the year goes by, and are familiar with every detail of practical administration.

SPECIAL OFFICERS PATROL THE TRACK See Nothing of Expected Robbers, but Trackwalker Takes s Shot at a Man Who Acts Sus- piclously. DES MOINES, Ia., Nov. 9.—The Rock Is- land officlals tonight sent out a speclal bearing armed officials and bloodhounds to Dexter, Ia, in the hope of capturing a gang of holdup men. The officers spent the night in the woods along the right-of-way between Earlham and Dexter, but had no encounter with the robbers. A section man walking the track, however, shot at a man whom he saw slouching along the right-of- way, but the fellow disappeared in the tim- ber, running at full speed, despite the or- der to halt, About ten days ago the general officers n Chicago received a letter directing the road to seo that $1,000 was thrown off No. 6, the Denver fiyer, somewhere in Iowa Saturday night. Superintendent Stifer came to Des Moines and it was decided to make the appearance of acceding to the demand of the holdup men. But a speclal was made up at Coun- il Bluffs to tollow No. 6 about ten mihutes and it bore armed men and bloodhounds. The engineer of No. 6 was given the money to throw from his engine at the given sig- nal, the explosion of three torpedoes under his side of the machine. The torpedoes were not exploded. Today it was rumored, however, that No. 5, preceding No. 6 & half an hour, had exploded the torpedoes, This, or some other information, resulted in reorganizing the special force of officers who went out from Des Molnes to Dexter and then patrolled the right-of-way between Earlham and that town all night. Nothing developed, however, and the men remained in the timber watching in vain for the criminals. The officers will not discuss the matter at all. Buperintendent Smalley said tonight that he knew nothing of the matter. Offi- clals admitted the truth of the story that specials had gone to Dexter and that the right-of-way was being patrolled between that town and Earlham. No. 6, which passed through here to the east at 11:30, an hour and a half late, car- ried a large number of armed men on the locomotive and in the coaches, prepared for an attempted holdup. When this train failed to come >n the expected torpedoes last night the officlals decided that the letter recelved ten days ago was a hoax. ‘When the rumor got started that No. § had exploded the torpedoes, the work of reor- ganizing the speclal force was resumed. Telegrams brought the owner of four bloodhounds from Ford, Ta., and a number of officlals joined Chief Cuskey of the Rock Island service on the speclal that left here early in the evening.
