PURELY. PER SONAL.

An announcement in the Nome News of July 10, in which reference is made to the retirement oi the former editor and manager oi tho News,-he having engaged in Business fefshimself, is misleading, inasmueh as itistates facts that do not exist. The editor and proprie- tor of.the Nome NUGGET established the Nome News in 1899. He has never been in the employ of the News Publishing Co.," save as one of the partners in that enter psise,. and he still retains. his in- terest in the company and will icontinueto.do SO pending. the ar rival in Nome of Mir. Will A. Steel who holds tho majority interest.

AABOON FOR MINERS.

Mine owners and miners gen. orally are watching with interest the progress made by c. D. Lane, of the Wild Goose Mining Com- pany, in the erection of the Snake river pumping plant. It's comple- tion means much for this immedi- ate v;cinity-the scores of creeks, gulchss and I benches, whose only baa to development has been the lsek of water. This pumping plant is large one, ard will furnish the opportunity for the successful min ing of large areas of gold-bearing gravel.
 Already, so it is reported, this enterprise has caused capilalists.to to 'loosen up bi,," and valuable properties in the vicinity where hitherto water has been the only

Gold Run Notes.

Bill Sullivan and Ralph Reed are on their lay from Jack Sullivan on No. 2, Alder creek.
 The first four claims on Alder are ready to shovel in, but are waiting for the ground to thaw.
 Mr. Voss and partners, of the Gold Run rOadhOuse, are putting a wing dam on the fraction between Nos. } and 1 above Hayden's, owned by J. Brady, MT. VOss has found gold in the bank 20 feet above the creek bed, and the creek is also good.
 Tom Dunkin is building sea wall across Gold Run above the mouth of Alder, getting ready to open up No. 6 above Hayden's.
 The owners of the famous No. 9 have arrived, and are having their goods brought over from the mouth of Tishou river. In few days they are going to open up the claim and work it tor all it is worth.
 A man by the name of Williamson staked triangle fraction from creek claim No. !, above Hayden's. in the small hours of the night on the 27th of June. It takes in the high point where the pay was found last fall by, Ring. The size of the frEtiOnis about 300 feet on the sides and lOO feet at the base.

drawback are in demand. A NUG. GET correspondent writes that when the pumping plant is in working order Dexter creek will remind one of the early days of California, Gas fully 1000 men. will be able to work the season through from start to finish" Large dumps will be taken out of tho benches and 8 stream of gold w,ll pour from de- posits of the yellow metal, which it is now impossible to work.
 Mir. Lane deserves great credit for the enterprise he has shown in this as we'll as many other under- takings., Daily is he demonstrat. ing his faith in the camp by his works. Mir. Lane has made no official announcement as to the rate he proposes to charge for water, but it is understood that it will be put at a most reasonable figure.

THE NUGGETS SUCCESS.

It is peculiarly gratifying to the NuGcET to berable to note the favor with which it has been received since its first issue. The people of Nome appreciatc'a live, independ- ent newspaper; one that has the courage of its convictions and will work lin season and out of season" for the welfare of the whole people.
 The NrcGEr is owned exclusively by'an Alaskan; its policy is not dictated from ''the States" or in the interests of any ring, clique or corporation. Its owner and editor has been resident of this north land for more than four years past; he has been in Nome for nearly two years, and nearly all his earthly interests are centered here. Theseare guarantees that the in- terests of the people of this section are his interests.
 The generous support already extended to the NUGGET is proof that it is appreciated.' This fact is recognized, and no pains will be spared to make the NUGGET the ideal newspaper of Northwestern Alaska, end to merit the respect and confidence of the people.

protest against Inc force of arms in the arbi,rament of civil disputes, There must, however, be something radically wrong when violence reigns: something rotten when it is permitted to,blossom and bloom. When q man believes himself in the right few will blame him for asserting and maintaining that right against all corners. But his rights should not be trampled upon; he should have the immedi- ate protection of the law, which guarantees, or is supposed to guar antee, to every man, life and prop erty and the pursuit of happiness, SO long as he remains within its pale.
 Again candor compels us to say that this guarantee is lacking. It is, therefore, in our opinion, not a disregard of law and it's traditions that makes violence, possible. The opportunities presented by a com. bination of unfortunate circumr stances lead some men to seize them to the dotriment of their fel- lows. And by similar circum- stances is not the man who loves order and is willing to obey laws if properly administered not con- pelled to preserve that which is his own, even by force2
 The situation is complex; it is grievous. It is retarding the de- velopment of the vast gold fields of this section and working hardships innumerable upon the hardy pic. neers who have come hither in an honest cMieavor to wrest a compe- tency from the frozen bowels of this far northland. We hope for an amelioration of existing conditions. We counsel peace, but we demand an immediate redress ofa the griev. ous disabilities under which this section. groans. We are not yet ready to submit without protest to "the good, old rule, the simple plan. that they may take who have the power, and those may keep, who can" But this seems to be the situation we'are up against.

Judge K. N. Stevens closed down a "sure thing game" the other night. "These will not be permit ted," says Judge Stevens. We've been expecting to see shell game as well as many other varieties of bunco devices started up. The devil has not yet claimed his own in gathering to- himself the rem- nants of the unlamented Soapy Smiths gang, that in 1898 barely escaped tho halter and were run out of Skagway, but some of whom have found shelter in Nome.

The Teller News says that Nome is still knocking" Teller presumably. We think that this is hardly true. There is no req son apparent why Nome should "knock" Teller or any other town in this section. There is room for all, and the NUGGET extends it's best wishes to it's Teller contem- porary and the people it so faith fully represents.

fNSORR0W, NOT ANGER

There is an established federal court in Nome; there ase United States commissioners in every pre- cinct that has been established. in this judicial divisienj. Ands yet overt acts of'. violence, utter @disre. gard of law and officials of the law are numerous. Mining claims' over vhjci. thise is.-litigationv pending, and claims that are claimed by ad- verse parties, are scenes of riot and disorder. That no blood has yet been shed over the possession of mining claim is fortunate. But who can.teN how long a bloodless Sssord.*ilh be maintained?
 Assthe peopls of this section of Alaska lawless? Arc they an az gEegatioo of thieves who believe in lswlesssses and''practice rapine? Has the nJorab status of a con- znanity of American citizens be- come so degererated that to plum der's one's neighbor is an net to be. commended, If not exactly savor- ing of' squ;ty and righteousness2 It does nos'takeany extraordinary perspicuity to observe that things are sadly o,,t.cf, joint.
 Tke tsct of,the matter is there is not that respect for constituted au- thority in this section that there should bs. When intelligent men disrsgasd,law openly snddefantly, As has been too often the case, there must be some reason for their ac, tion. We do not believe that tho psopl@ of Northwestern Alaska are s,naeb of .lawbreaksrs; we do net believe thst' they prefer the thorny way of violence to the flowery path oi- peace. We do know, in fact, thAt the great majority of the men ot' this section are law-abiding, peacs-leving citizens, But so often have'their rights been trampled opon; so long has justice been 5knd; 20 often has the administra- fion oi' law failed and they have ben pths sufferers that it is small vsndeFt that some have taken "the law into their own hands and have tAsenselres been the arhiters of thstr T own"caases. In some in- stsnses thst might be cited, law. obiding men have been dispossessed 2t',that' whiehr they honestly be- lived to be theirs. The might of anaarmsd force appeared, and right trsnblingly fell to the ground.

Passenger Is Hurt.
Shortly before the Nippon Maru was
ready to sail yesterday one of the first
class passengers, who had evidently been
in the company of friends during his
short stay in port, came aboard the yes
sci and walked unsteadily down the deck
toward the saloon entrance In an un-
steady movement he pitched forward and
struck his head violently against She
threshold, which is foot or more above
the deck. Blood flowed copiously from
a bad wound just over his right eye. An
officer picked the man up and endeavored
to get him to his stateroom. Despite
action, and by the time the stateroom
WAS reached he had lost considerable
blood. The cash was attended to by the
ships surgeon but some time elapsed be-
fore the passenger could be quoted down.
He believed he had been struck by some
