SCHOOL
 QUESTION And What Will Be Done in
 the Matter.
DR. CHkMBER'S PLAN
He Would Build Che Central School House With Three Departments, Which lie Believes Would Fleet the Present Needs of the City.

The summer vacation is past, the teachers are ready, but there Is neither school house. school furniture nor school books for the hundred and lift, chil- dren of Nome.
 When the city became incorporated and three school trustees elected the school passed out of government con trol. The books were gathered up and sent to Teller by Rev. Sheldon Jack son, the government agent of the edu- cation department.
 The board of school trustees had elaborated a plan for the erection of three school houses but subsequent developments caused them to change their minds, it being considered that the number of school children in the city would not warrant it.
 Trustee BeatOn was sent out to pro cure school books and school furniture, and these are expected on the steamer St. faul, now due from San Francisco.
 In the meantime the friction between the school board and the city council which began almost with the Organi2a- tiOn of the two bodies, has not lesoencd
 Dr. Chambers. chairman of the board, has presented a proposal to Mayor GieSe that the points of differ ence between the board and the cOun- cil be submitted to Judge Wickersham for ad adjudication, but the mayor does not look upon it with much favor. The attorney general of the United States vas asked to define the duties and powers of the board. as already stated in the NUGGET, but he referred the matter to the interior department which promptly answered that the board had the Alaska Code and a judge to cOnstrue it. So the matter stands
 Dr. Chambers thinks that the wisest course for the board to pursue now is to build a three-rOom school house in q central part of the city. There is q balance in the school fund of S4, ,1Jl and Dr. Chambers thinks that prob ably Sl4,0O0 more will be available after the licenses are paid on Nov. l, next, while the spring licenses will add largely to the fund. He concludes, therefore, that there will be ample 8j,O00 and maintaining the schools.

What ShaI! Be Done With
 Those in Nome?
ACTION NECESSARY
The City Hospital Is Filled and nany Are Still Knocking at It's Doors for AdmissiOn-NO Transport to Take Them Outside This Year.

What shall be done with the sick and indigent of Nome? This is a question which is already commencing to force itself upon the minds of thoughtful men.
 The limited capacity of the city hos pital is taxed to it's utmost. Every bed is occupied, and the sick and distressed are still clamOring for admission.
 The winter season is approaching. and existing conditions are expected to grow worse as the season advances. And what is to be done about it? Dr. Call, the city health officer, who is constantly brought into communication with the indigent sick of the com munity, says that the outlook for that class is exceedingly gloomy. The city. with its present hospital accommoda- tions, can not be expected to take care of all those who seek admission. And if it cannot the overflow must suffer.
 Last year the government transport Lawton was sent to Nome after those who were unable to pay their way out of the country. This year no trans port will be here to succor the unfor- tunate, and the community is face to face with problem which means one of two things: Either aiding those who are unable, through lack of the where withal, to leave the country, or allow them to stay here and become a charge upon the city and people. Either horn of the dilemma is bad snongh. Last year, too, through the Chamber of Commerce, some twenty five or thirty of the tough class were rounded up and deported, but even then enough remained to create right live ly time during the winter months.
 It has been suggested that fund be raised and placed in the hands of re- spOnEible committee, the committee to interview the transportation companies and secure reduced rates for the indig- ent and such, or, in fact, all those who are likely to become a burden upon the community.

, simply passes belief, but there it is to show for itself and convince the most skeptical. It's value must be enormous, and it's owners say it is not for sale at any price. It was bonded for $50, GOO and it's owners were shivering in their boots, lest the price asked should bs paid for it. But the bond lapsed and then they breathetl a sigh of relief and went to work with will. They have taken out and washed good deal of dirt. and the result was even moro satisfactory than they had anticipated. They gave out no information as to what they were getting and none but themselves knew of the bonanza that lay beneath their claim. Now they say they do not care who knows of the great find.
 There is no contest over the ground and there will not be one. The claile has never been jumped, for since it's location there has been no opportunity to give the jumper chance to get in his work. It has been constantly oc- cupied.
 The claim, undoubtedly, is part c. an old river channel, which at one tims plou.hed it's way across the country, leaving vast deposit of golden gravel
 Lewis Garrison, who visited the claim the other day, vouches for the truth of the above statements. The extent of the gravel is simply marvellous; he banned for himself and brought tho pannings to Nome. Other well-know0 citizens, who have examined into tlpe statements made as to the wealth COZ tained in the claim, aver their belief k, them.
 It would be difficult to hazard eyenM guess as to the amount of virgin goh contained in the Sugar bench, for the figures would reach many millions. Fifty millions would seem to be a very conservative estimate.

MILLIONS ARE IN SIGHT:
A Marvellous Deposit of Golden Gravel at
 the Head of Grouse GulCh.
Paystreak 75 Feet Deep and of lnknown Extent on the Sugar Ciam-Owned by Axel 8ssen, 4. A. Johnson, John (. Carlson, Ad0iflssleen
 and Alfred Carlson.

The richest and larges. body of pay gravel ever discovered in the history of the world, so far as known. lies at l the head of Grouse gulch, the left fork of famous Dexter creek.
 The body of gravel that has been dis covered and uncovered is so vast that the story seems incredible. Yet. it is vouched for by well-known citizens. who. when told that the story sounds ti7hy, admit that il does. but ncverthe- lc-, affirm that it i, true.

A. Johnson, John (. Nelson. Adolf I.aksen and Alfred Carlson. It is across the divide from the wpil-knoWn Mattie. Daisy and other rich bench claims, and is directly in line with them.
 It was located in 1899, and the owners have been developing it ever since. Two shafts have been sunk to bedrock, one loo feet deep and the second. which also serves as an air shaft. ID feet.
 At the bottom of the l0O-ioot shaft q sort of false bedrock was found: above this was six feet of pay gravel, which averaged from 20 cents to 50 cents to the pan. The owners resolved to keep on sinking, and short distance from the first shaft they began sinking a second. At d depth of l15 feet they struck the true dcdrOck. with 7J feet of pay gravel above it. It ha, been systematically and thoroughly banned and the smallest pan recorded was worth 2j cents. Two hundred feet of | tunneling has been done and the pay run the same.

THE BENCHES
 OF GDLD RUN
Keep Your Eye on Them, Say Gus Sieifert and Frank Durand, Who
 Have Returned From There.

Gus Seffert has returned from d trip tC the Bluestone and kougarok. X report was current about town that the pay streak on No. 1 Alder had petered out. It did: but little prospecting showed that it had run into the bench. A cut was run and the best pay that has yet been found on the claim was uncovered.
 Keep your eyes on the benches of that section." says Mir. Sieffert. This opinion is also shared by Frank Durand, who has also been developing some the benches, beneath four feet of muck, five or six feet of solid, clear ice was fonnd, and beneath the ice the finest of wash gravel.

Judge Stevens Troubles.

Judge R. N. Stevens has had hard time. He left Nome ten days ago for Gold Run. On the way up the creek his horse threw him, bruising him con siderably: then he fell into stream and got a ducking and last, but not least, a tent on No. I, which was used as an arsenal, caught fire and was de- stroyed. and the judge barely missed being killed by an exploding shell. He is now at Teller.

Mr. Bates says that he saw 30,000 fish thrown away in one day, the cannery being unable to handle them. SO heavy was the catch.

To The City Trade,

We will beginning with this date,
discontinue soliciting city orders
through our drivers, but will make
free delivery in the city.
Our experience in this business leads
us to the conclusion that it would be
more satisfactory to ourselves and to
our friends to take their orders direct,
either by phone or in person at our
counter and would enable US to serve
them more satisfactorily, and would
further enable US to sell goods cheaper
We desire to thank one and all for the
generous support extended US in the
past, and especially do we desire to
thank our friends for standing by US in
our late financial embarrassment.
We shall aim in the future to serve
our friends on cash busis, and will
meet any price made by our competi-
tors. Respectfully,
SMITH COMPANY.

FISH poMAcE.
A DeIieacy from the Hindu Table
That IL Finding Favor In
America.

Increasing intercourse with India
has made Americans familiar with
many of the table delicacies of the
Hindu home. One has made so favor
able an impression that it bids fair
to be adopted in the new world, says
the New York Post. This is the fish
pomace, a favorite side dish in the
English clubs all the way from Egypt
to Japan. ANY fish will serve as the
base. The bones and skin are re-
moved, and the flakes of flesh are
put into mixing bowl. Here they
are spiced, sailed and covered with
an oil or fat. This is worked togeth-
er till it becomes a pomace or paste,
and is then put into jar and COW
cred with a layer of fresh oil or
melted faS. The jar is then stop
pered or sealed. In this state it will
keep for months and even years, and
will retain the full flavor and deli
cacy of the composition. In India,
odd effects are produced by employ
ing fishes with different colored
meats. The red macassar is as red
as the shell of boiled lobster. The
yellow mullet is almost as chromatic
as the salmon.

Deafness is generally due to catarrh
extending from the nose to the ear.
In 95 per cent. of all cases the cause
of deafness is catarrh which begins
in the throat and nose, and which has
been neglected until it extends up into
the ear. Enlarged tonsils, snoring,
sleeping with the mouth open. are in
dications of the commencement of this
trouble. Chronic catarrh is likely to
end in deafness.-Good Health.
