world, a joyful world, an endless world,
and world in touch with other worlds.
1t Shall BE Well.
Some scientists are now discussing
the opening of communication between
our earth and the planet Mars. Ex-
periments are being made, but they
will not succeed. We cannot build q
fire large enough to attract the atten-
ton OF that world, or lift lens power
full enough to see any response inter
stellar. We do not positively know
that that world Is occupied by living
beings, or that, II 1t Is occupied, COM
munication with them would be desir-
able. 1t might not be so good a world
as this, and thus communication with
1t would be debasing. But / rejoice to
know that heaven is In touch with
other worlds for their improvement,
and depot for glorious arrivals. 1t
Is a thoroughfare between this world
and that world, and coming and go
ing perpetual
Going out of this world is as natural
as coming into 1t, but the one is with
pang, and the other is with rapture, IL
we are fitted for the uplifting process.
1t shall be well with you. Now, do not
get SO frightened about that asthma or
that cough or that influenza or that
threatened pneumonia. The worst
thing that fatal disease can do Is to
usher you into coronation and en-
thronement 1t shall be well with you.
Take as good care of your health as
you can, have the best doctors you can
employ, observe all sanitary laws, keep
In this world as long as you are per-
mitted to stay, and then when the
heavenly call comes be glad to go.
do not care much about what your
last words" are going to BE-. People

-Fhe above figrres show tho shipments of gold dust made by the companies or firms named. It will be noticed that tfe shipments made by the Wild Goose Mining Co. and the Pioneer Mining Co. are not included in thea bove statements for. the reason tlat these corporations are ayerse to giving out the amonntS mined, for publication. The value of the shipments of these companies therc- fore. can only be approXinatod, but they may be safely put at Sl,50O, GOO. $4Gt1,O00. From the most reliable in. formation that the NUGGET can procure it is safe to say that the above figures are pretty nearly correct. Private. in dividuals have shipped out probably $l50 000, and in the above table they are given credit for but $lO0, 0O0
 Messrs. Lane. Solnerand Whitehead, who certainly ought to be excellent authorities place the figures at t4.j0o.- 000.sas the years goii' prodi ct. The NUGGET believes that their figures will be exceeded when the final returns are all in by probably $-0),00O. However, the. s4, 900, GOO showing is q pretty good one, when all the adverse conditions, under. which the country has labored, are taken into consideration.
 Otthe above shipments. the Bank of Cape Nome sent out &l03.000 on the Senator, and $40. GOO on the Queen.

Po5tOffice Department Requires a New Bond From the New Post
 .Inaster, F. W. Swanton,

Nome, probably, will not have | new postmaster before the opening of navi- gatior next spring. Hcme weeks ago F. W. SwantoR recei ved notice of his appointment as postmaster from h. spector Cum. His bonds were for warded to the department, but it seems the form used was that for fOurth-class postmasters, and was not accepted. By the last mail Mr. Swanton received a telegram from Inspector Clum tWash- ington stating that new bond would be necessary, therefore the Nome office must. remain in charge of the slffeties until such is furnished. Mir. Swanton cannot execute the bond until blanks afe furnished by ''the depart mont, and these will not reach here until tic arrival of the first winter mail, unless another steamer should
 reach port this fall. Then the bond
 must be returned to Washington for approval before tbe appoihtee can assume the duties ofthe office.

Ivan Erostron, $ well known old timer of this section and now one of the lucky claim owners of Boulder creek, Kuslt fem district, reached town the other day from that section. He said:
 "ln Iarty consisting of one lady andsix men we left Aoxapaga City on Oct. 6. Next day we ran into an ice jam and had our boat badly smashed up. All the way down to Mary's lgloo we en. ountercd morU or less ice, and being told there that a steamer would leave Mary next day, we decided to wait. The steamer did not appear, however, and with four days supply of provisions we started from Mary o Igloo. The Kusatreim river was full of ice and a-hard trip we hal until we reached the upper part Of Salt Lake, whore the ice was still worse. For four days we were stuck in the ice till the fifth day brought Us up to the Beau Cdubilc AO. . SCnOOtltI %ADICi where Mr. Riche conducts Q first class road house. BQt for the provisions on board this schooner we would certainly have been in a very serious condition. The trip from Boulder to Teller City can be made in three days. This trip we were fortunate enough to make in l4-days to Teller. The. principal thing is to come through tht hai'dships. We did it and feel contented.'

A NEW ENGINE HOUSE SITE.
The Congress Heights Lot, Donated
by A. u. RnndIe. Approved.

The District surveyor inspected yes
terday the site for the Congress Heights
engine house. donated by Arthur E. Ram
die, and found it to be a most desira-
BILE location, not. as first supposed, on the
side of hill, but on a beautiful shady
knoll in Randle Park, directly opposite
the new school building. The lots donated
by Mr.. Randle are valued at 81. 600, being
twice as much ground as he originally
intended to donate. AS the new engine
house is planned to be the finest in the
District, Mr. Randle determined that the
site should also he the most beautiful.
The most expensive engine house here
tofore built in the District cost SIS, 600.
Congrt SIS at its last session. made an APP
preparation of S25, 900 for the one to be
built at Congress Heights. 1t is believed
the building will be completed by Christ
mas, work will begin as soon as plans
are completed. The people of this sub
urb are showing a great interest in the
building of the engine house, and its open
ing will douhtl, IS be an event of impor-
lance during the winter holiday season.

A PLAGUE OF cATERP1LLARs.
The Trees of Washington Rnyaged
by Crawling Enemies.

Caterpillars have attacked the elms in
the White House grounds and their raw
ages have within a few days extended
to the shade trees in the parks and ave-
nues in other parts of Washington. AS
in the case of heas myriads of which
invaded the homes of Washington two
or three weeks ago, Prof. l.. o. Howard
entOmologist of the Department of Ag-
riculture. has come to the rescue with
Latin name for the caterpillar, and calls
1t the product of the tussock moth,
known as orgyia leucostigma. but the
caterpillars continue their operations,
and many of the most beautiful trees in
the White House grounds and elsewhere
have been almost stripped of foliage.
To check their ravages Superintendent
Lanhan. of the Park Commission has
assigned a large force of men to
the work of knocking the caterpillars
from the trees and then washing the
trees by means of a hose attached to fire
hydrantS.
