FR0M TME PEOPLE COMPULSORY HOSPITAL DUES. A Nugget Correspondent Objects to What He Calls a ViC=
 iOus System.

Editor TiE NOME NUGGET: | am
 sorry to find that the vicious system of
 compulsory hospital dues has been adopted by some of the companies op- cratinr in the Nome district. This
 method of supporting hospitals origin ated in the States. not from any desire
 to benefit the labOrlng man. but on ac- count of the 'employer, liability
 laws" enacted by the legislatures of some of the states, but in Alaska even
 this poor excuse is lacking. Self
 ro.Dectipr men resent unwarranted in
 reference in their personal affairs,
 and their ill-will is aroused. They do not want an employer or anyone else to
 dictate to them what they shall do with their money after they have earned it. They would much rather contribute S. to relief fund than to pay Sl under compulsion. It is easy to say that man need not work for d company that charges hospital dues if he does not want to, but necessity often compels men to accept humiliating con ditions rather than face the alternative.
 Whatever the faults of the working man, he cannot be justly charged with being penurious or uncharitable. He is always ready to help comrade in distress. The collection of hospital dues is positive detriment to the man who is so unfortunate as to get sicK or injured. A case in point came to my notice q few weeks ago. A teamster in the employ of the Miocene Ditch Company unfortunately got one of his legs broken. Through the literality of the management his hospital ex- penses and steamer fare were paid, and the employees of the company raised a fund of over a4O0 for him. If tte com pany had charged hospital dues but

New York, Sept. ll.-H r. Wagga- man, of Washington, president of the Alaska Gold Mining Co.,, starts for home this week to complete the details for the installation of the extensive plant of machinery, which has been built in this city for that company by Joseph Edwards X Co. The entire equipment is due to start for Nome at any moment and arrangements have been perfected whereby the American e.. Express Co. has agreed to carry the entire plant to Seattle from this city The management figures on having the machinery operating on the beach at Nome by the middle of October
 The outfit, consisting of a complete hydraulic sand pumping plant, with a capacity of 5000 tons per day, includes a Roberts boiler, Worthington centri- fugal pump and all the incidental pip ing and accessories necessary for the complete equipping of the same. The estimated bulk of the plant will approx innate 50, GOO pounds, on which the eX- press rates to Seattle are s! cent per pound From there the machinery goes direct to Nome via steamship. In order to meet any unforeseen cOntin- gency duplicate equipment has also been built.
 owns s. Miles of Beach.
 The Alaska Gold Mining Co. was re- gently organized, with cal ital Of $2OOO. .OOO. to take over all of the min ing claims and locations formerly held by the late George D. Roberts, con,ti- tuting some 66 claims of lG0 acres each extending for a distance of s! miles along the beach. The property like wise extends inland for d distance of several miles on what is commonly known as the peat or tundra formation.
 These deposits have recently been made the subject of considerable in- vestigaton by J. U. Picard E. M., who has completed an exhaustive report on the character of the formation encoun- tered beneath the tundra. During the past two years he has sunk large number of holes to bedrock, using d Keystone drill, and the entire section lying between IIolyoke creek and the Wild Goose railroad track was pros pected. MT. Picard found that the depth to bedrock varied from 40 to 50 feet and that the gravel which begins about six feet below the surface was not frozen as expected.
