END TO AUTOMOBILE RACES.
French Police to Put Stop to scorch-
Ing on the Boulevards by the
Motor Cars.

A stormy campaign has been waged
at Paris against fast automobilism.
Americans unfamiliar with Paris can
not form any adequate conception of
the importance of this question there,
where thousands of motor cars tear
madly through every park, every street
and every road.
During the last two years the news
papers have recorded fatalities every
single day. Often, it must be said, it
was the riders themselves who were
killed. Oftener, though, the automo-
bile plowed through funeral process

omnibus, killing people in no way con-

police and the leniency OF the courts
he would make an example and shoot
any chauffeur cndangering him.

ANTI-SMOKING LAW VOID.
Arrest of n Man for breach of Paris
Fair Regulation Declared
Illegal.

A case of considerable interest to Wis
itors to the Paris exhibition was de-
cided the other day. All over the
grounds are signs TO the effect that no
smoking is allowed, and a man having
violated this was, by order of NJ. Picard,
the head commissioner, arrested.
He, however, engaged good lawyer
and fought the right of the authorities
to arrest him. The court has now de-
cidcd that NJ. Picard possessed no legal
right to enforce an arrest for violation
of the rule, and exposed himself to
heavy sentence in doing so.
AS, however, the exhibitions buildings
are admittedly inflammable. it is
thought that special powers will be OBJ
tanned.

shouted out very loudly to his Client:

 It is plain that this deplOrable pro ceeding was the result of deliberate plan to gObble the richest part of the cOuntry-a plan undoubtedly devised by few cunning Americans, who came into title afterward in many in- stances in the guise of innocent pur- chasers. In parts of the tundra coun- try, or that segment of the placer zone lying between the mountains and the sea, similar design was executed.
 Whatever jumping has been done during the winter occurred largely on the power of attorney and duplicated alien claims--perhaps in some in stances on original alien claims. It is safe to predict that those aliens who have declared their intention to be- come citizens will retain title to each original location. What will become of their other possessions remains for the courts to determine.
 It is pretty certain that the first court of the land will sustain no con tention which affirms the right of aliens to exercise the functions of local lawmakers or of acting vicariously as legal agent in conveying title to the public domain.
 Fair Play on the Beaches.
 In the history of the beach diggings different state of equity is told. Here the fair-minded American miner was in the majority, and no fault has been found with the law of location he pro- vided or his practices under the law. On portions of the beach thirty feet along the beach was allowed each in dividual. On the rich portions of the beach he was fortunate if he secured tract fifteen to twenty feet square and at that he was only allowed the ground upon which he was at work. He had no multiplicity of claims, either as an individual or by power of attorney. He was laboring under new conditions. but overcame them hap oily.

John A. Dexter.

No other man in Northwestern Al aska is as well known or more loved and respected by the miners and Eski- mos than John A. Dexter, of GolOvin bay. MT. Dexter came to GOlovin bay ten years ago and shortly after opened a trading post. Since that time hun dreds of prOspectors have had good cause to ever remember his great kind ness. 1t matters not whether you are the possessor of good paying claim, or have not dollar, you are met by the genial John witA true Western hospitality, welcomed to his truly cheerful home, with a.good dring and better meal. And nevef has prOspector asked MT. Dexter to tstake" him to provisions and been aefused, though Dexter himself went Short. It is for this that the miners love him. Every man on the trail will mush an extra ten miles to get to stop at his house. And there is not an Eskimo for miles who does not say 'Na-goOr-uk" when Lowery's (as the natives call him) name is mentioned, as they have all at some time benefited by his big-heart- edness. While MT. Dexter, for the first time in twelve years, is spending the winter in California, his brothers Jimmie and Joe are keeping up the popularity of the post.

THE FREE MAsONs OF NOME

Send New Years Greeting to Breth-
 ern Throughout the World.
 At the newest and most remote mining camp in the United States, there exists an organization of Masons numbering 112 members, sev- enty-five of whom met at their hall on the evening of January 4, 1900. and resolved to send New Years greetings to their brethern throughout the world by Dr. c. w. Brandon, one of their number who was to leave a few days later and who would travel by dog sledge to Kadiak, a distance of over 1000 miles.
 This organization is remarkable in the particular that it's membership numbers representatives from nearly every state in the Union and from nearly every quarter of the globe.
 Though 1t has no recognized Masonic existence, either by charter or dispen- sation, it meets once each week as a club. the principal objects of which are the dispensation of charity and the advancement of social intercourse.
 During the severe typhoid fever epidemic, it cared for it's sick, buried it's dead. and sent to their distant homes such members whom misfor- tune had rendered unable to return to their friends. In the watchful care of it's members. this organization has gained the respect and admiration of the community in which 1t exists. and the message of cheer sent from the ice-riven coast of the Arctic. comes to the civilized world with accents that ain1E- -daosa- -azn<au uh1G M v n2a

AT LEAST S4.OOO. 900.
Was Nome's Output of Gold in
 1899.

1899.
 A question often asked is, How much gold has been taken out of the Nome district the present season? The question is a hard one to answer. in- asmuch as there is no possible way in which the amount rocked from the beach can be accurately estimated The Nugget has endeavored to obtain the approximate figures but its inveSti- gations have not been as complete as could be desired It is safe to say, however, that $2,000,000 have been washed from the sea beach, and prob ably $2.000,000 more has been taken from the different creeks, making the total output not less than $4,000,0 ,0O0 for the season. This is a magnificent showing for a camp that was compara- lively unknown six months ago. Six teen hundred men, it is estimated, have worked the rubJ sands, while work on the oreeks las not received tno s9.soa5.os ..y otherwise wot..J be- cause of the unparalleled discoveries. on the beach.
 There are numerous and authenti- cated instances where men have rocked from S10,000 to $l5000 each from the seashore, while scores have made from &, 900 to $S,000 each, and hundreds more have cleaned up from $1 300 to $2. 900 each in a few weeks. It would therefore seem that the $2,000,000 esti- mate from the beach diggings is within the mark And as yet the district has been merely scratched over, and the gold taken out by the crudest of pro cesses is q mere bagatelle to the amount which next years operations with improved methods of working the sand and saving the gold, will pro duce.
