Lots of Gold Up There, but No Water to Work the Claims With. John F. Farley, epicure, Shakespearean student and owner of the Peerless saloon, returned from Nome last night via Seat- tle. He tells an interesting story of his three months‘ trip up in the northern country. “The Nome country is very rich In gold,” he said when Interviewed last night, “but the trouble of the whole re- gion is that there is not enough water. In fact, there is no water at all to work the claims. The old-timers of Nome say this is the dryest summer they have ever known, and till there is a rain the claims cannot be worked to good advantage. An- other evil is that there are large num- bers of men. up there who own all the way from five to ten claims, and they are nominally penniless, but will not sell their claims except for 'a fancy figure. The beach at Nome is very much like the CIiff House beach, only the sands are efther black or of a ruby color. “E. J. Baldwin has opened a gambling and dance hall about five miles out of Nome, but I_do not think his venture is a good one. Sam Dannenbaum has a good cigar store on the main street and s mak- ing piles of money. The report that Wyatt Earp was shot at Nome is not true. The police service by the soldiers is excellent. General Randall is doing splendid work. The town is not under martlal law, but the streets are patrolled | at night by the soldiers with fixed bayo- nets. “The Hobbs boys have justestarted a brewery and are doing well. 1 have as the fruits of my trip an Interest in a claim from which I expect good resuits. The sanitary condition of the town is fair, | but if anybody is taken with an illness he is almost sure to die. Whether I shall | return to Nome or not is & hard matter to_decide.” | John Farley was accompanied back on | his trip by Charlie Asher, the well-known sporting man, who corroborates Farley's | statements. | ———————— Swim at the Crystal Baths.

Captain Marshall and His Brotherf Suffer a Heavy Loss Through ! an Absconding Em- ploye. g S James B. Marshall of the Brighton | returned from Nome a few days ago a sadder but wiser man. He went to the ! land of the midnight sun with hopes of in- creasing his fortune, but they were blasted through the dishonesty of Frederick Solo- | mon, a young man in whom he had placed implicit faith. Mr. Marshall and his brother, Captain James H. Marshall, are bemoaning the loss of more than $5000. | The money or its equivalent, they say, | was stolen by Solomon. Solomon is now | somewhere in the Canadian region, mri away from the hands of the law and the wrath of his employers Solomon is a young Englishman and comes of a well-known family.

They invested $10,000. With the money they | bought champagnes, liquors, cigars, cigar- | ettes and tobacco; planos, pianolas, hard- | , Bl ware, bar fixtures and other saloon tixtures. A portable house 25 by 65 feet, containing 12,000 feet of lumber, was built in this city, and 2000 additional feet of lumber was ordered for partitions and other improvements. The vaudeville ar- tists were engaged, their tickets bought and everything was in readiness for an attack on the shekels and gold dust of the northern miners, It was Mr. Marshall's intention to ac- company his freight to Nome, but at the last moment the ladles of the troupe de- clined to go unless under his protecting wing.

BURGLARS VISIT SAME HOUSE TWICE IN A DAY Thieves Use Skeleton Keys to Open | the Door of a Pacific Street [ Residence. Two bold attempts were made to rob the residence of Anton Geantit of the San Francisco meat market at Pacific and Larkin streets Monday. In both cases the me crooks participated, and their ef- forts were frustrated by Mrs. Geantit. Special Officer Charles Manhke made a report of the affair at the California- street police station and gave a descrip- tion of the men. On Monday afternoon Mrs. Geantit vis- ited some friends, and when she returned to her home she ‘found two men opening ADVERTISEMENTS. B MmrioNs oF Womer Use Curicora Soar exclusively for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and healing red, rough, and sore hands, in the form of baths for annoying irritations, inflammations, and chafings, or too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes, for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, and especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce these who have once used it to use any other, especially for preserving and purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children.® CuTicURA SOAP combines delicate emollient properties derived from CuTicURA, the great skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the most refreshing of flower odors. No other medicated or toilet soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for wreserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. Thus it com- bines in ONE Soap at ONE PrIcE, viz., TweNTY-FIve Cexrs, the BEST skin and complexion soap, the BEST toilet and BEST baby soap in the world. ¥ RNAL AND INTERNAL TREATMENT FOR EVERY Humon S1..

When they saw the woman they stated they were sewing machine agents and had been sent to fix a machine in the house. They were told that no demand had been made for their services, whereupon they apolo- gized and retired. That night the same two men loitered in the shade of a building across the street and the woman soon noticed them there. She watched from a window and saw them finally cross to her home and enter the front vestibule. Her husband came along shortly afterward and she called to him and informed him of what was guing on. He followed the burglars in the house, but when they were surprised they showed fight and made their escape. Spe- cial Manhke was soon on the scene, but could find no trace of them.
