"A nugget of gold worth 81, 276 was
found recently on Anvil creek, Nome.
The District School OF Spotless Town.
when the fall season opened, the
principal Of the District School divid-
ed the years work into eleven classes,
and asked that the head Of each de-
partment should put into verse the
hrst lesson Of the year. The result
was very interesting, and we are glad
to reproduce it for the amusement and
INSTRUCTION Of our many readers.
