THE SLACK" IN THE COAL.

TIE NUGGET lately has heard considerable dscus- sion concerning the alleged adultcrations of coal by some dealers last winter. What truth there may be in these assertions do hot know There i. no coal
 in TIE NUGGET'~ last winters coal she'd and we have forgotten just what kind of coal il really was. We certain, however, that it burned with exceeding great readiness, as the amount consumed will bear witness. We had not thought to blame the coal dealer for this. It was attributed to the chilling frosts that settle this portion of what may have once been vineyard. We would be right smart mad" however, were quite sure that the coal man mixed slack with our Wellington Slack, verbal or otherwise, is not soothing to the nerves.
 Seriously speaking, however, there has been lots of poor coal .old in Nome; perhaps it was sold as such; there has been lots of other poor stun sold as we'll No man should have the lgA! to pul sand in h sugar water in his coal oil con or baked brown beans in his coffee sacks water in his whisky unless he i, going to drink il himself. There is a law, we believe, which forbids the adu,eraton of flood stuiis.' But coal is not an ament of the body gas economically, though it is physically. It is not right to mix poor quality of coal with the simon pure as II is not safe to put wine in old bottes" But, no doubt, both pernicious practices are followcd- especially in Nome There is ole thing that we have noticed about coal: There is usually abundance of ashes, and we would if we coud eliminate the use of the ash barrel.

THE MOST POWERFUL MAN.

J. Pierpont Morgan is powerful man these pip ing times And J. Pierpont Morgan, now the great stellar attraction in the financial world. just ap- peared above the horizon but few year, ago. But he had been prospecting for his grand debut for many years prior thereto The railroads have annihilatec time and space, and as direct result of the rail- roads, the United states is the richest country on earth-rcher far than England-loaning money to Europe, for have not the Rothschilds of England asked favors of Mir. Morgan whom the railroad. (and other thingsl caused to wax financially gross ? MT Morgan has hobnobbcd with princes and with king, of the earth. He has grown more powerful than those comparatively insignificant people, for no blue blood of effee European civilization objects to the red corpuscles which animate the heart brains and gen eral anatomy of American modern if the red blood is gold red.
 J. Pierpont Morgan is the king of all fnanciers The. house of Rothschds pales before him and once mighty men in the money marts of the world bend the pregnant hinges of the knee before him. This is all right we do not bject to the 'scions of ancient houses" lowing down before Mir. Morgan but perhaps Mir. Morgan might We are even told that Mr. Nor gan sa "charitabe' man, but we do not know which particular lines his charity takes when it goes about seeking to do good.
 We also know that strike of coal miners in the anthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania has been in progress for several months that thousands of people are suffering because of it, largely those who are inno cent, or who had nothing at all to do with it. The prices of coal and coke have gone soaring skyward, and someone is coning mint of money" :, We are also told, on what seems to be reputable authority, that Mr. Morgan is the only man in the United States who can end the coal strike He is more influential than President Roosevelt or Senator Hanna or any oi the other great of the republic. But Mr. Morgan preserves silence that is sphinx like, and possibly discreet. Mir. Morgan, though

WATER. JUST PLAIN WATER.

In the language of Sam C. Dunham formerly Aaska's ladlng poet, but now citizen of Nevada, all that need up here is water, just plain water , in oreer that an annual immense gold crop may be sssured. This fact that is realized by mining men but 1t must be patent to the non-niner as we'll who knows anything of Seward peninsula. Con- tiguous to Nome are immense gold fields which need just water to develop them In the hills to the north of Nome are millions in gold duet which invite the attention of the miner the vast tundra plains too, when they shall have been developed will add mil lions more to the gold output of this section. All this is trite, you may say, but that fact does not detract from it's truth.
 TIE NUGGET has left nothing in its power un- done to make the immense resources of this country known. And as has been heretofore pointed out these do not solely include the production of gold There others, which slowly securing recognition, such fisheries and coal.
 But our only industry at present is gold mining and this, necessarily is limited to few months of the year. The problem therefore be solved is that which involves the production of the greatest amount of Eold in limited time, and at the least possible expense. Manfesly the solution lies in the adoption of modern methods of mining To apply these ample water is needed. This problem is being solved in this region hy the building of dtches and the cree. ton of pumping plants. The importance of these enterprises cannot be overestimated for they mark the beginning of a in the production of gold and one which must innure to the benefit of all the people,

 plentiful supply of water means much for the individual mining operator.
