Tarliey is too common on the Ameri-
can table to claim any particular at
tention at the Christmas season, and 80

 IN KOYUKUK
George Purches, of NuiatO, Reports Strike Between Union and
 Hammond Creeks.

George Purches, writing to r. Nous seau from Nulato recently, says: "The Koyukuk is producer. I have seen gold from there, several men having nuggets from three to seven ounces: it is also reported that one was found which weighed over SfO0. Everyone says that good wages were paid last summer. It is also reported that winter diggings have been struck be- tween Union and Hammond creeks. but to what extent it is unknown. It was from that vicinity that the $600 nugget came. It appears that that part of the country is but little prospected, but recollect am only giving hearsay re- ports, but 1 believe it is equal to Nome at the present time. The prices of grub speak favorably."
 Mr. Purches also forwarded a map showing the location of the reported winter diggings which are about 4O miles above Coldfoot.

Hugh McDougall on Saturday after noon filed a suit in the district court against Philip de Fontville, A. F. Southward and l.. A. LarimOre to ob- tain possession of bench claim No. below Specimen gulch. The claim is said to be valuable one.

Sunday evening about : o'clock, they allege they were ordered to leave, and shortly afterward their tent was torn down, the stove broken to pieces, coal oil poured over some hay which they had in the tentand fire set to it. Their bedding was not molested and they were told that a horse team would be provided to bring ther be- longin. to town. This was done.

OPINION In A
 TOXIN LOT CASE
Mere Occupancy of a Piece of Ground Is Not Sufficient Bona Eide I'm.
 prOwements Must Be Made.

An,opinion waShanded down recently By Judge Wickersham in case in. wlving . lot on Second Street back of the Northern saloon, which lays down the law so far as the occupancy of town lots is concerned. Briefly Judge Wick ersham holds that mere temporary oc- cupation q | piece of ground without improving it in good faith does not es- tsbaish title thereto.
 The case in question was that of L. 1 Osgood vs. ]. H. Donnelly and Clinton B. Pratt. Frank Osborn, also figured in the cass, he having staked the ground in question in November 1898; Osborn made no improvements on the tract except to put 8 tent upon it; neither did 'Donnelly and Pratt who staked it in May 1899. Ossod, how ever, put up substantial improvements. The opinion states, citing the act of March 3, 1891: s'The person claiming under the law must buth settle upon and occupy the lot, and Osborn did neither. His camping over night on the ground while on journey was neither an act of settlement nor occu- pancy; the presence of the defendants upon the ground from May to Decsm- Der, dwelling in tent, together with . failure to slow any other act of occu- patton or possession is not sufficient ,"

The repout of the city eIsrsr of ths municipality of Nome, reference to which is made else where, is . sompre- hensive document, and embraces the receipts and expenditures of the city from the inception of the city govern ment in April last up to Dec. IT.
 According to the report the total re- ceipts were ssE 454.92rthe expenditures being the same. The liabilities reach s27, ,l6O.57; the-assets, e20,019s76. The latter include cash on hand in the various funds. $2,407.3l; delinquent veal and per~ona4 property taxes. $4,773.44; delinquent street improve ment taxes, sl2,ss0. Thus 1t will be seen that the only valuab ble asset is the cash on hand,', the $17,6f2.44, which appears as "assets. not being particu- larly valuable, although portion of the sum will no doubt be realized.
 The moneys received by the city were derived from the following sources:-
