CAPE NOME FILLING UP.

mere are several thousands of people
In the Cape Nome country now, ac-
cordlng to recent advices. It is a rich
err field and far more accessible than
was h Klondike. 1t is a long way off,
in the farthest northwest, up by Be
rings strait, but it can be reached bv
ocean steamers. There will be hum
dreds Of thousands going in this spring.
MANY Utah people contemplate max
ing he trip, and several inquiries have
peen received concerning the locality,
the expenses Of going, prices there and
chances for a fortune.
From all accounts there are many ex-
ceilent opportunities to find a stake in
the Cape Nome region, but it goes
without saying that many who go will
come away empty-handed.
The distance from Victoria to Cape
Nome is $500 miles and passage on the
first boats of the season has already
been absorbed by intending miners and
prospectors- 1t is computed that there
are now on the Pacific coast 65. 0 per
sons who desire to go to Cape Nome as
soon as possible. Seattle is the princi-
pal Quitting point for Americans, but
Tacoma, San Francisco and Portland
are all thronged with eager prospect
ors and fortune hunters, waiting for
their ships to leave.
1t is not nearly so expensive a trip
as was that to Klondike during the
boom. The prevailing fare is 500 for
frst-class passage from Seattle or
Victoria to Cape Nome, and $50 for
steerage. The rate for freight is $40
a ton. Expenses at Cape Nome are
naturally high, but not so ~exorbitant
as at Dawson or Circle City. The rent
Of an eight-room house-if it an be
called a house-is put down at 5000 a
month, but wages are at a correspond
ing figure. A regulation drink costs so
cents and a cigar the same.
The race for good properties this
spring will be exciting. There will be
great contests between rival claim
ants for the coast gold lands and some
of the miners have pre-empted as
many as forty acres, and by his means
forty miles of lie gold-producing coast
line between Cape Nome and Cape York
have been staked off.
The federal authorities at Washing
ton have made a ruling that lands be-
low ordinary high tides cannot be
staked off and held by individuals or
corporations, and that the right to dig
in these tide lands and TO wash gold
out Of the sand between high and low
water is as free as the right to fish In
the adjacent waters.
Right on top Of this decision, how
the administration has permitted
eastern syndicates to lease this tide
water shore line and to dredge for gold
farther out. One thing in favor of the
gold hunter at Cape Nome is that he
viii escape the Canadian ore taxes
which were said to be worse in the
Klondike than the taxes imposed by
Kruger on the mines of the Transvaal.

their city contemporaries. This is large
~ luz to the fact that the editors Of
the weeklies are closer in touch with
the people, and are more truly their
representatives,. The country editor
goes IN and out among his constituents
Gay by day. He learns their opinions
on general and local questions: and his
own views, if he be honest with him
self, are more or less tinged by the
general thought. 1t is not fair to as
sumo that the independence and indi-
vIduality Of an editor depend upon his
superiority TO all exterior influences. the
opinions of his neighbors, the sentiment
OF his church, the judgment of his club.
In his editor ial u~tterance he may be in
full accord with all these, and be more
or less swayed by their collective mind,
and yet give his paper a character Of
its own, a breadth and freedom and in
dependence of thought that may make
it a power for good, and the truest type
Of a popular representative"

II.-WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
(C~oncluded.)
Marconi's System.


In this system as used for directed
signals there is no vertical wire, and
the transmitting spark gap and the
coherer are each placed in the focus Of
a parabolic mirror. The coherer is here
the receiver of the wave as well as the
detector, and its position is important.
en- this case the transmitter and the
receiver must be tuned TO the ~synchron-
ism by strips of copper of carefully
adjusted lengthy AS usually ~practiced,
however, for undirected signals, a YER
teal wire is used at each end, and the
exact position of the transmitting spark
gap or of the coherer becomes a matter
of no great Importance. In this case the
oscillator and its spark gap serve only
TO charge the vertical line to the neces-
Sary potential. Trains of waves are
shut out from this vertical line through
out its length, although they are prob
ably stronger near the earth a plate
or ball at the top of the wire is there
fore a help in most cases, as it makes
the waves more uniform. The waves
are radiated In all directions horizon
tally, but the vertical radiation is prob
ably weak.
Tie portion OF the ether waves strik-
ing the vertical wire at the receiving
end is absorbed by the wire, and il the
potential is high enough a discharge
passes, causing the coherer to act. The
potential of this current is high be-
u of the enormously high rate of
cutting, the waves passing With the
speed of light. The coherer is here not
the receiver, but only a detector of the
charge uDon h vertical wire, and its

1t is to the credit of the candidates
ana of the PARTY managers that the
campaign just closed was remarkably
free from personalities. It was purely
a contest on national lines and with
but few exceptions the speakers re-
trained from personal abuse and con-
lined themselves to discussions Of pub
lie issues.
The vote was light, which indicates
that the actual Democratic majority in
MS state is considerably larger than
the returns show.
The result is just what was to be
expected from the people Of Utah and
preSages an increased majority at the
fall election.
