O'CONNOR Latest Novelties in Tobacco Jars and Pipe Racks at Burford's Capt. Robert F. Scott's . Farewell to the World The following is the full text of the "Message to the Public" written by Captain Robert P. Scott, the Antarc tic explorer: "The causes of this disaster are not due to faulty organization, but to mis fortune in all the risks that had to be taken. "First?The loss of the pony trans port in March, 1911, obliged me to start later than I had intended and obliged the limits of the stuff trans ported to be narrowed. "Second?The weather throughout the outward journey, especially the long gale in 83 degrees south, stopped us; the latitude S6 degrees, we had minus 30 to minus 30. "On the barrier in latitude 82, 10, 000 feet lower, we had minus 30 dur ing the day and minus 17 at night pretty regularly with continuous head wind during the day marches. These circumstances came on very suddenly and our wreck was certainly due to this sudden advent of severe weather, for which there was no satisfactory cause. , "I do not jthink human beings ever came through such months as we have come through, and we should have got through in spite of the weather, but for the sickening of our mates and the shortage of fuel in our depots, for which I cannot account, and final ly but for the storm which has fallen on us within eleven miles of this de-' pot, at which we hoped to securo final \ supplies. Surely misfortune could scarcely have exceeded this last blow. We arrived within eleven miles of our old One Ton Camp with fuel for one hot meal, food for two days. For four days we have been unable to leave the tent and a gale has beon blowing about us. We are weak. I Writing is difficult. "But for my own sake I do not re gret this journey, which has shown us that Englishmen can endure hnrdship, help one another and meet death with as great fortitude as ever in the past. We took risks. We knew we took them. Things have come out against us. and therefore we have no cause for complaint, but bow to the will of Providence, determined still to do our best to the last. "But if we have been willing to give our lives to this enterprise, which is for the honor of our country, I ap peal to our countrymen to see that those who depend upon us are proper ly cared for. Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardi hood, endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the hearts of all Englishmen. These rough notes on our dead bodies must tell the tale, but surely a great, rich country like ours will see that those who depend upon us are properly pro vided for."

Sixty men are employed at the Cliff mine, near Valdez. and the five stamps are working night and day with ore enough in sight to keep the mill run ning for several years. * * * Gold bullion, valued at more than' $1,000,000, the biggest consignment of treasure cargo to come out of the North at this time of year was aboard the Alaska Steamship Company's 1 in-! ? er Mariposa on her last trip south. | ? The gold was from the Iditnrod. r * v * Two Nome men, Walter Bohannou i and C. M.

The diggings are shal low?about 15 feet?and the gold is tine. Cripple City is located on a good townsite. There are at present three roadhouses, two stores and one jewelry store in the place. The new camp has no doctors, no lawyers, no marshal, no jail and no commissioner for some months. ? t ? Judge Lyons at Valdez granted the motion for a non-suit asked for by the attorneys for the Hubbard-EUlot Copper Company, who were being sued by the stockholders who wished to set aside the transfer of the property from the old development company to the new company. t 9 ? Several of the stakers who went out locating claims on New Years night returned with nose or toes nipped by Jack Frost. One man re ports that some ground which was open was staked in the regular old time hatchet and pencil style by one who evidently did not know of the new law for it wos a one hundred and sixty acre tract. The late comer immediately planted stakes on a por tion of it, and others coming later still did the same, so that the entire amount of ground was restaked. Had the man read the papers he would have been wiser than to make the mistakes he did, says the Nome Indus trial Worker. ? * ? Indications are that good ore will be found in the Kantishna district. ? ? ? Fairbanks Oddfellows are to have a Lodge of Rebekahs. m 9 9 A paystreak is said to have been found on Slate creek, Iditarod dis trict. ? ? 9 The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. William Volkman, of Fairbanks, was found dead in its cradle, recently. The amount of beef and mutton con sumed yearly by the people of Nome amounts to 150 tons. Beef seems to suit the palates of the Nomeltes so much better than mutton that ten tons of the former are eaten to every ton of mutton. In addition to beef and mutton, the people of Nome eat about 50 tons of game and fish, which brings the grand total up to 400,000 pounds, or more than 3,000 pounds per day. * 9 9 The Nome Industrial Worker has secured the services of a licensed prophet, and he has been hired to tell all about the coming events in 1913. And he is going to deliver the goods, so the proprietor of that live wire promises. ? ? ? Miss Jennie Martin, a girl born in Juneau, was chosen queen of the Ak sala carnival, at Nome, last month. The carnival is an annual event in Nome. She was presented a gold, diamond-studded watch. ? ? ? Skagway, the Flower City, is pre paring to increase her acreage of blos soms this year. The Skagway Im ? provement Society, an organization of . women devoted to making life sweeter and more livable, have secured about fifty pounds of flower seeds for free distribution. ? ? * Fairbanks has been notified that a branch of the post office savings bank will be established there in the near future. Since the Barnette bank fail ure, the people have been very reluct ant to deposit their smaller funds In the local banks. ? ? ? There are 200 miners in the Crip NO MAIL SERVICE FOR KUSKOKWIM The Kuskokwim people are very sore over the continued neglect of their mail service. Like Innoko there has been practically no mail service at all and they have gotten up a peti tion denouncing this condition, the pe tition will be forwarded to the Post office Department. They held that only along the Yu kon and the regular postal routes is it now possible to get letters at all. The increase in population in the In noko and Kuskokwim justifies some sort of service but they have none at all. The present official route is de clared to be rediculous, and shows a Complete ignorance of the topogra phy and conditions, a complaint is more than justified. Why an occas ional mall is not sent over the Seward trail and why the promised test was abandoned can best be explained, by Cordovian or Chitina influence. Good reports still arrive from the Ditna and from Cripple, where excel lent pay beyond a doubt has been found and the stampeders are .all de lighted by the prospects. Good pay is also said to have been located on Slate creek, a tributary of Otter, and the outlook is very prom ising. FEMMER & RITTER See this firm for all kinds of dray ing and hauling.
