Controlling Democratic purpose.

'The Democratic party must have a
controlling purpose, unchanged by vic
tory or defeat; it must stand for that
purpose at all times and everywhere,
unmoved by threats of disaster and
uninf1uenced by promise of temporary
gain. It must have "a character, for
character is as essential in a party as
it is in an individual. No one will
trust an unstable man or one so with

any moral question cannot be guessed
in advance. Neither will the people
trust party that is willing to write
into it's platform today anything that
promises to catch few votes or strike
out Of it's platform tomorrow anything
that will ALLEVIATE few votes.
Even if it desired to do SO our party
could not compete with the Republic
an party in the use of money in cam
paigns or in the deception or coercion
of voters, because large campaign
funds can only be secured in return
for the promise of favoritism, and our

Our party must have principles and
proclaim them; it must stand by them
and defend them, relying upon its faith
in the righteousness OF those principles
and upon Its faith in the intelligence
and patriotism of the people.

Democrats Must Win.

Democratic success must be won not
by initiating the Republican party, but
by exposing it-not by making the
Democratic party ariStOcratic, but by
convincing the peope that it is really
democratic and can be trusted to de-
fend democratic ideas and to cultivate
democratic ideals As there are many
in the Republican party who have ad-
hered to the party Notwithstanding the
change that the organization has I'M
dergone a change which has alienated
them from the Democratic party, or
from any party worthy of the name.
ITO attempt to patch up an appar-
ent harmony between those who are
not in sympathy with Democratic
purposes is not only a waste of time,
but would prove disastrous. The men
who deserted the party in 1895 may be
divided into two classeS-those who
left because they understood the issue
presented and those who left because
they did not understand the real ma
ture Of the contest. Until the former
are completely changed in their SYM
pathies they cannot return to the party
without injuring it. The latter will be
reconciled TO the party when they
themselves become aware of the real
character of the life and death Strug-
gle now being .waged between plutoc-
racy and democracy. / say plutocracy,
because the ariStocracy of today is one
of wealth rather than of birth, and it
includes not only those who have been
alienated from the common people by
the possession Of great wealth, but
those who, although without wealth,
pander to it and measure all things by
a money standard.
Organized wealth has become so
potent in governmental affairs that
some even now despair Of applying
any effective remedy. But such un-
derestimate of the patriotism Of the
people and the strength Of the public
conscience. The people have remedy
within their power, namely, the ballot,
and with it they can and will right

MI0CENE CO.'S BIG DITCH SYSTEM
A Notable Enterprise Which rleans rluCh for Nome and the Region Sur
 rounding It.

tember g, as readers of THE NUGGET already know.
 As d consequence of the mining operators of Dexter being able to secure a plentiful supply of water, the greatest activity ever seen on that famous creek was instantly noticeable. Every claim was soon being worked and as a result a well known Dexter miner says that dur ing the month of September that creek must have produced $l75, 1000 in gold dust.
 Besides the ditch from Hobson creek, Nome river, some nine miles of a ditch, tapping Snake river near the mouth of Gold Bottom, has already been com pleted. The ditch will connect with the company's system, which will be next year extended to Anvil, Dry, New ton, Bourbon and other creeks, this side of Anvil mountain.
 To bring the water to Anvil creek, a tunnel l.S36l feet from near the head of Snow gulch to New Years gulcb, on | Anvil. is being bored. More than half of this tunnel has been cOmpleted-a distance of 565 feet on the Snow gulch side of the divide, and 33S feet on the | Anvil side. This tunnel is 4xG feet; a portion of it is well timbered, but an other portion is through solid rock. Two shifts are working night and day on either side. and the tunnel will be finished long before navigation opens next spring. It has u three-foot grade, and will be large enough to meet any demands that may be made upon it.. | Through this tunnel will be brought water to Anvil claims, both bench and creek.
 Another ditch will follow the divide between Anvil and Dexter, from which water will be conveyed to the lelt limit of Anvil. to Dry, Newton, Bourbon and other creeks and benches, from whence it may be extended in any direction be- tween Bering sea, Snake river and Nome river.
 It must be borne in mind that the company's ditch system will carry water from both Nome and Snake rivers, and the capacity, when the sys- tenn is completed, will be some 5000 miners inches.
 The system has been built along the highest route obtainable. and it will, therefore, carry water in abundance to l the high benches and hills as well as to the plains below. The Glacier ditch | is now being enlarged to a width of l4
The Nome nugget., 1902-10-04

The Mioceae Ditch company has done and is doing a work that will receive honorable mention when the mining history Of Seward peninsula is written. To the mining firm known as Leland, Davidson & Bliss is the credit due of inaugurating the first ditch system in Northwestern Alaska.
 The first ditch of any magnitude in this section was constructed by them early in the summer of 1901. It was known as the Glacier ditch and brought water from the head of Glacier to Snow gulch, distance of about seven miles. From the start it was success: even those who had pronounced the under taking impractical were compelled to acknowledge that they were mistaken, in view of the results accomplished. It was the thing needed and it filled a "l0ng felt want in the development of the rich placer ground on Snow gulch.
 So emincntly successful was the undertaking that Leland, Davidson X Bliss, almost immediately made prepar- atons for an extensive ditch system by which water should be brought to the creeks and hills adjacent to Nome which are known to contain valuable placer deposits, but which lack of water rendered practically salueless from a producing standpoint.
 Surveys were begun and completed without any bare of trumpets: so quietly was the work pursued that sev- eral miles of new ditch had been com plcted before the public knew anything about the project. The topography of the country was studied thoroughly and the originators of the enterprise satisfied themselves that the work was necessity for the full development of the vast area of gold-bearing ground in the territory contiguous to Nome.
 The work so auspiciouSly begun in the fall of 1901 was continued this spring by the firm under the name of the Miocenc Ditch Co. What has been ac- complished is well known to every man and woman interested in mining in this region. Work began or June 23. water from Banner creek having been turned | in on Dexter creek on August 23, and the Hobson ditch was finished on Sep

feet at the bottom in order to carry out the extensive plans of the company. When the entire system is completed, early next season, it will be about B miles in length.
 The Miocene Company own and have leased a number of valuable claims on Snow. Anvil. Dexter and other creeks, and these will be worked extensively, and all surplus water will be stored in reservoirs erected for that purpose.
 While we are operating mines, y said w. l.. Leland, the other day, 'oui business is to supply water to miners. If there is demand for the entire ca pacity of our ditches we will sell the water. That is what the ditches were built for. The vast gravel deposits in this section cannot be worked without water, and we want to furnish it. It will be sold at reasonable figure, so as to enable the claim owner to work the ground at profit, for we are inter. ested in the development of this sec tion. There is any amount of ground that can be worked at profit, and if it is not developed it will not be the fault of the ditch company
 Some portions of the HObson branch were difficult to build, hundreds of feet of blasting having been done through solid rock. But the work was well done. Some piping was also done. The

ARRESTED
Paul D'Hierry Charged
 With Child Stealing.
The Case Was Dismissed, How, ever, No One Appearing to
 Prosecute Him.

Paul D'Hierry was arrested Thurs day on a charge of child stealing. D'Heirry was formerly guard in the federal jail, but he resigned on Oct. I. The child in the case was the little son of MT. and Mrs. Geo. Flood, of Council. Mir. and Mrs. Flood had been divorced in California, but two months ago Mrs. Flood and the child, boy of some six or seven years, came to Nome. Mr. and Mrs. Flood were remarried and went to Council, where Mir. Flood is engaged in business. Differences again arose between the couple which resulted in an application to Commissioner Fer guson for a guardian, and Mr. Flood was selected. He immediately made arrangements with Dr. De Soto to take the child to Seattle.
 D'Hierry came up on the same steam. CT from Seattle last summer with Mrs. Flood, and interested himself in her case. So on Thursday it is alleged he went out to the steamer and got pos session of the child. A warrant was issued and D'Hierry arrested. He gave bail and this afternoon the case was dismissed, for want of prosecution. The child is in the custody of Mir. Flood.

the river bars for distance of b miles. It must not be forgotten, however, that little real work has been done on the Inmachuk proper. The only claim that has been worked is one of group of four, owned by the Dashley brothers, J. A. Carstens, Frank Redwood anu John De Buhr. w. A. Dashley, who came down yesterday on the Corwln. brought down with him several pokss, all filled. The gold is coarse and is very black.
 "The lnmachuk," said Mir. Dashley. "is all right, but, as matter of fact, little work has been done on any of the claims except on one of those in which we are interested. And we only 'pophered' that, but the results were entirely satisfactory. The depth to bedrock is from two to four feet on the claim which we prospected. There are two bedrocks, one black clay, the other lime bedrock.
 'I believe that the Inmachuk section will prove one of the greatest gold pro- ducers in this section of Alaska"
 J. B. Ivory, who recently spent sev- eral weeks in the Inmachuk country, says that it is one of the most promis- ing mining sections in Alaska. The most nattering prospects, he says, have been found for distance of ten miles. Mr. Ivory himself found good prospects on the river bars and in the banks Oi the stream as well.

pipe was manufactured at Siskiyou, near Banner station, by pipe makers who were brought up from San Fran cisco. And this work has also been well done. The cost of this ditch sys- tenn is not definitely known, but it is said to be about s300,00 This price is not excessive. however when one con siders the vast amount of placer ground which is brought within reach of it.
 The company this season has em- ployed large number of men. Their plant and equipment are complete, 80 head of horses being part of it. These will be wintered in Nome.

THE THING
For Working Low'Lying GoId'Bearing Ground.
LOW a Hydraulic Lift or Elevator Washes Oui GCi'dd GGc'd on a Gk
 cier Creek Claim.

Out on No. 1 Glacier, operated by Leland, Davidson X Bliss, under lease from the Pioneer Mining Company, there is a hydraulic elevator running full blast. The elevator was erected last fall, but owing to an insufficient supply of water, the Hobson ditch then not having been completed, it was op- erated but short time.
 Now that the Mioccnc Ditch Com pany's new ditch has been extended to Glacier there is an abundance of water, and the hydraulic elevator is doing most satisfactory work. The elevator is rather simple-looking affair. It is an iron pipe, about If inches in diam eter, which stands upright to d height of IS or 20 feet. A l0-inch pipe con- veys the water which lifts the dirt through the elevator to the string of ings to be handled, the fall and force of the water being sufficient to scatter them far and wide.
 hO 0ihOudp VI oiIG DA tlO elevator may be estimated when it is taken into consideration that piece oi ground 50x5O feet and 10 feet deep was washed out in just 3l hours, with four men only working in the pit. The dir, forced up throug gh the elevator is hydraulicked by giant, which washes the gold-bearing dirt down to the bell. shaped mouth of the elevator. and presto, it is in the sluice boxes Is feet above.
 The economy in working is observ. able, while the results obtained are re- markable. The elevator, as has been said, is simple of construction; it is upon it or the pump which is attached to it, and which is an excellent con. trivance fn every way.
 For deep diggings, such as those af. fOrded by benches and the tundra. where the ground is fiat, this hydraulic elevator OfferS a means of working ground economically and thoroughly. l It may be here remarked that this ele. vator was manufactured by Leland, Davidson & Bliss.
 In addition to the giant which is at work on the lower end of No. l, where the elevator is placed, another will be playing in daG or two.
 Near the upper end of the claim a giant is also at work, and the ground on the left bank of the creek is being ground-sluiced. The paystreak is quite deep and the dirt, ss is we'll known, is rich, and the next cleanup will amount to a goodly sum-.
 Attached to the very complete plant on the claim is sand grinder, built on the plan of an old Mexican arastra, whore the black and ruby sand is ground by water power and the last grain of gold extrsctsd ftomit.

INMACHUK Very Promising Mining Section. AWhile Not Much Real Work Has Been Done the Prospects
 Are Excellent.

The Inmachuk is one of the most promising undeveloped, or practically undeveloped, mining sections in Alaska.
 This is the consensus of opinion of more than a dozen practical mining men that THE NUGGET has interviewed during the past two weeks. A number of miners who arrived yesterday morn ing from that section confirm previous reports.
 Good prospects have been found on
