PROSPECTING THE TUNDRA.

The recent discovery of "beach diggings" in the tundra between Fort Davis and Cape Nome leads practical miners to entertain the belief that many rich srsaks paralleng the coast will be found. There is little doubt that once upon time Boring cov- cred considerably greater than it does It is certain that it washed the base of the foot hills several miles from what now constitutes the shore During the process of the ages quartz lodges have been ground down by natures forces and the gold they contained has been diffused in the auvial deposits of the tundra. As Boring gradually filled through the deposit of detrtus from the Yukon the kuskokwim and smaller rivers, tho tundra was formed and the sea became land. Boring is an ex- tremey shallow sea, and there is doubt that it is slowly filling up, especially in the vicinity of the mouths of the Yukon and Kuskokwim. As early al 1866 Dr. William H. Dall, an eminent scientist who spent the winter of 1866 and the following winter in this section and on the lower Yukon, wrote of the gradual filling up of Boring sea, through the causes before mentioned
 It is not our purpose, however, to speak of this fact at this time. We simply wish to point ono, more to the possibilities of the tundra region as a gold producer That the gold has been deposited by the agencies alluded there should be no doubt and recent discoveries should give stimulus to the prospecting of the tundra

been demonstrated that it contains "pay." And pay dirt only be found by looking for it and working to find it.
 Back in the States, one has heard of mon being Hand poor;' that is to say, the individual had more land than ho could proftably till The same condi- tion exists here. There are any number of men who 'claim poor yet they struggle and strive to do little unsatisfactory assessment work to hold their claims, hoping for something to turn up, which will enrich them at small expenditure of time, money or muscle as possible
 There is doubt that the system, which now largely obtains, is perncious It flinders in no small degree the development of the country it pre- vents the development of what might prove paying ground it limits the employment of labor and forbds the investment of capital The man with money to invest if he be wise and he usually is, will not dump his money into wild cat property unless he can get it for song. And the legitimate miner and prospec- tor desires to sell his property at great sacr flee The lesson will be obvious The miner pros- pecor will develop his property to the greatest poss ble extent. He will not scatter his energies Better well developed mining claim or two than whole section of wild cats"
 As to Inadequate assessment work It is diff cult problem to deal with, especially, in country such as hs where climatic and other conditions of severe and harrassing nature are constantly met The ills only be cured when the that cre- ate them have been removed, and this will only be done when legitimate mining dispaces wild cat speculation, that is to say, when claim owners be- come out by waiting. The average waits too long for things to to him." He must get in and dig for himself.

GOOD WILL RESULT.

"The return of the Senatorial expedition from Alaska" says the Minneapolis Tribune, Suggests the hope that the observations of Senators Nelson, Dillingham;, Burnham and Patterson will result in some comprehensive scheme of legislation for the benefit of that important territory. Alaska has ceased to be the barren, untrodden and altogether uninviting wilderness it was when it first ac- quired, and was sometimes called by the wise ones Stewards folly. In the popular mind it is no longer regarded as forbidding country where there is nothing but mining camps, few of them, and mag nifcent distances between them.
 "Alaska has rapidly increasing population and much of it will be permanent, for besides the mines fisheries and lumber camps there is agricultural development in progress that is full of promise The coal discoveries are attracting the attention of invest ors, and it is by improbable that oil will be added to the known wealth of the country ere a great while
 "A region so capable of supporting a large per manent population and so sure to have one, is en-
 titled to more consideration than Alaska has received heretofore. Its wealth is well recognized that cor porations are trying to exploit it's to tho dis advantage of present and future citizens for their efforts have naturally in the direction of monop- oly of stored wealth rather than development If there is to be conservation of the fisheries the forests and the mineral wealth of the country there must bs new legislation. The civil and criminal code adopt ed two years ago, is in need of revision.
 "Alaska must have railways and telegraph lines far beyond the scope of the beginnings already made It lies with Congress- to prevent this railway and teegraphic development from becoming an oppressive and sxtortionate monopoly. There is much to do in inland and coast surveys and the territory should be given delegate in Congress.
 "The Senators have studied carefully the needs of the territory and anticipate good results in a legislative way Congress can map out the future of

A NEW COURT HOUSE NEEDED.

Nome needs court house. It has building, o course, that is called such, but it is about the est apology for public building of the kind that be found in any civilized country.
 To begin with, it is ramshackle affair totally inadequate for the purpose for which it hastily thrown together away back in 1900 It might make miserable sort of stable for dumb animals, but we fancy the dumb brutes would suffer. Its acous- tic properties bad, in fact it hasn't any, and its ventilation beggars description. Fill the court room to its capacity which is limited, and in very brief time the air is fetd. The discomors borne by off cials, jury and others many It is small wonder that, after day spent in the court room judge, at torneys clients, jurors and all others whose duty it is to spend the day there well nigh exhausted When the wind blows it whistles through the many cracks and crannies of the old pile, and then the steam heat must be turned on to keep one comfort able Soon the air becomes charged with carbonic acid gas, and few windows must be opened to per init its escape, and draughts nnumerabe result adding additional discomfort.
 The offices cramped and altogether made quats There is not room for tho staff of employees to do their work properly. There is not vault in the ments at the mercy of the first fire that may arise, and then interminable confusion and loss would result.
 new court house is indeed needed, and it should be well built and so arranged that public business can be expsditiously transacted, without danger tc health or life Congress at it's present session may make an appropriation for court house. Let us hope so.

Commander Peary, the Arctic explorer, was talking to a small bunch of newspaper men at Sara toga not long ago, and they were asking him a number of questions about life in the extremes, of which he can talk most entertainingly. Someone asked if he spoke the Eskimo language, and he said he did. "What's it like ?" continued
 tho questioner. "For instance, how would an Eskimo say Good morning p" "He wouldn't say it." replied the commander, with
 . slight smile. Indeed, and are they, so untutored in the amenities of fife ?" Mot at all, not at all," the explorer explained. "You see, in country where they would have occasion to use those words only once a year they don't have them. ["

COMPLAINTS THAT ARE JUST.

In recent issues of THE NUGGET communications from real miners and prospectors have been publish ed having direct reference to the teing-up of large areas of mineral ground by the practice in vogue which permits . claim owner to do his assessment" work hy the expenditure of sum of money much less than the law provides.
 This is not a question. THE NUGGET has animadverted upon this practice for several years past. The objections made by correspondents are founded upon truth. As rule the Assessment" work which is yearly done in this section, is little short of being hollow mockery, deusion and a snare. That in some instances, the work is fairly done will not be denied, but in the ma aory of cases it is simply subterfuge. No real work is done. Claims lie undeveloped year after year, tho owner waiting until some other fellow in the neighbor- hood has developed paystreak, or he has been en- abled, in some way other, to dispose of his hold ings to who is ready to purchase experience in a job lot.
 mining claim, in this or any other section, is only valuable, speaking in real sense, when it has
