RESOURCES OF THE GREAT NORTH.

The series of articles embracing some of the nat u7al resources of Northwestern Alaska, which ap pearng in the NUGGET. full of interest. The au. thor, Captain Siem we'll fitted to speak and write 'intealigently of this section. He has spent many years in these waters both on the American and Siberian coasts and he has had excellent opportuni- ties to study the subjects which he discusses so intel igentfy. In separate articles he has shown how whaling may be successfully prosecuted with Nome as an ontting point notwithstanding the belief cur rent that this famous industry has become al- most extinct with the passing of the whale But it would seem that whales yet plentiful; that they nt frequent their feeding grounds in large numbers, and American energy and enterprise may rehabiltate this industry and make it productive. Added to this IS walrus hunting. These animals exist in vast numbers and the ivory which they produce is much sought after.
 Next in order is the fur-seal industry. How nany'millions have been made by the ndiscriminat md wanton destruction of this valuable fur-bearing nimal will probably never be known, The people Alaska have proted little from this industry. The hort-sghtedness of the United States government in ,rming out the famous rookeries to corporation, nd getting comparatively nothing ia return, shows nignorance that is lamentabe in the pursuit of ,licy so unustifable. It is high time the govern ent ceased farming out the seal business which has rved to enrich very few at the expense of many. ae sealing grounds are the heritage of Alaska

WHAT OF CANDLE CREEK |?

The NUGGET has received great many inquiries of late concerning the Candle creek country Coupled with these inquiries we note that large number of persons have left Nome recently for that section, and more will follow. It probably is the better plan for any who wants to acquire Knowledge concerning a mining country, that will be definite and satisfac tory, to visit it himself if possible Information gained at second hand is rarely conclusive. This is especially true in Alaska, where two have ever been known-that is, hardly ever-to see things in the same light. Of course, would not for a moment intimate that men prevarcate wilfully and with malicious pertnacity. There truthful men to be found in this country-men who will tell of things and conditions they them; the difficulty lies in the fact that many do not see straight.
 As to Candle creek and the value and extent of the strike made in that section last season. little more is known than when navigation closed That the creek bed for miles has produced gold is beyond question: In fact the amount of gold found in the bed of the creek seems somewhat phenomenal, if re- ports have not been grossly exaggerated, and do not think But whether there is gold outside the confines of the bed of the creek does have been as yet determined. year ago Gold Run was looked upon extremely rich creek. Tens of thousands of dollars taken out of the bed of the creek, bu unfortunately, the run of gold seems to have been confined to few spots here and there and by chance these rich spots the first discovered Similar conditions may prevail on Candle creek yet on the face of 1t this would seem improbable. We are told that gold in comparatively large quantities has been found for distance of miles in the bed of the creek. This information has been received from several sources, most of them authentic. But in the eagerness to get winter grubstake no real prospecting has been done; under the circumstances none could be expected. From reports that the NUGGET has received from the 'Keewalik we judge that good deal of prospecting will be done this winter Candle and other creeks in that region. It is quite likely therefore, that something definite will be known to Candle creeks paystreak before the opening of navigation next spring Certain it is that little is known aboutit now.

The NUGGET suggests that series of free lectures on popular subjects be given this winter. There a number of men who could be impressed into the service. For instance, Rev. c. II. H. Bloor could speak of travels in Europe; could Captain J. E. Hansen, and he could talk interestingly and intel ligenty about the great Siberian railroad and the wonderful valley of the Amur; Capt. G. B. Baldwin could lecture life in the Philippines; Rev. Fr. Van der Pol, of St. Josephs church, could deliver an in teresting lecture on variety of subjects; could Rev. w. C. Fowler, of the Congregational church. Prof. Henry, one of the greatest living mathemati- clans and an astronomer of repute, who is now in Nome, could no doubt be prevailed upon to deliver one more lectures. Then we have a number of lawyers and medical men who could, no doubt, be persuaded to talk for hour two. Of course, we are merely offering these suggestions, but trust they will be acted upon The NUGGET has not con. suited the gentlemen named, but there IS no doubt that they would do their full share toward making a lecture course great success

Capt. WE Geiger, the energetic chairman of the health committee of the city council. is determined that there will be little cleaning up to be done next spring in and about the city. Red flags have been placed on the ice in Boring sea. beyond which refuse and garbage are to be dumped; notices have been printed instructing the general public where to dump and not to dump refuse and the chief of police has been instructed to keep sharp lookout and rest any person who may be found dumping garbage except beyond the flag line the ice. The strict enforcement of the health ordinances will ensure clean town when the "break-up" comes next spring

Cape Bretsn Go Figure Extensively

Three years ago, says Holland in the

ain In n brief visit To- New York stated,
apparently incidentally, that he had
been staying some weeks at sydney,
Cape Breton. and he added, perhaps
unguardylly. that that little city was
