Francisco and to this portion of Alaska, practically inaccessible for eight months of the year. It's rules require expenditures of money which amount to q denial of justice to the ordinary tigant. In recent case appealed from this court the cost of printing the
 transcript of the record on appeal was $900 ana this was an ordinarily short record. What in the name ot common sense would poor prospecor, seeking to maintain his right to claim, do in like this How many men are there who would be able to pay such expenses these? In the ma jory of cases the litigation would have to be abandoned and the fruit of much toll and labor and probably homestake be lost to the unfortunate litigant.
 Whether the material we have in present ju- dietary is of the kind necessary for the creation of such court is matter of little moment, there is sufficient and of the proper kind in the states in the district out of which it could be created The policy Of searching among the dead and down" poo llca timber for material for judges for Alaska k which should be abandoned. Salaries which would attract men of high standing and insure efficiency and honesty would grealy increase the efficiency of the court and confidence of the prope, and scandals such as we have had would be averCtd. Good men should not be expected to come to Alaska for term of years to act judges without being able to to civilization with some of the fruits of their labors in fact, competency would not be too much. The concerns of the people and the government large and constantly becoming larger, and these demand the highest character of talent in judicial positions for with good judiciary the function of government is almost fulfilled.

A PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK.

It is the consensus of opinion of mining and bus mess men that the present year will be the most prosperous from mining stand point that Seward peninsula has yet witnessed. There seems to be ample ground for these opinions, and it is safe to predict therefore, that the output of gold for the year 1903 will be greater than beiore
 The reasons for this prediction are obvious A
 large area of gold-bearng ground has been thor oughy prospected; the various ditch and pumping enterprises will bring water large sections of virgin ground; new districts will be producers for the first time, because prospecting last fall and this winter has demonstrated that they contain pay. The vol tune of hydrauic work will be largely increased, and it will pay. THE NUGGETs Council City correspond eht tells in this issue of the immense godbea ring gravel deposits of the Neuklnk and the Casadepoga, yet untouched. His figures convincing and the statements made will stand investigation And every of these deposits will be made to yield the gold that they contain What is said of the Neukluk and the Casadepoga is true of score of other dis tricts, for it must be borne in mind that Seward peninsula is permeated with aurifcrous deposits and the section offers alluring inducements for the in- vestment of capital Besides the coast country and the immediate interior sections the great northern

OUT OF THE NORTH.

That the reported Indian outbreak on the Kobuk Is rank fake is evidenced by the article from Candle creek which appears in this issue of TIE NrGGET Mr. Cronin, the writer, accompanied Paddy O 'Donnel on the trip to and from the Shunuak. Had there been trouble such alleged, in fact any kind of trouble with the kobuk natives, Mr. Cronn undoubl- edly would have referred to it. But as he does not we are convinced that O'Donnel for some reason or other exaggerated some circumstance deliberately misinforined Mail Contractor Mckay. for do not think that the story was concocted by him.
 The spirit of utter Responsibility seems to possess some people. The most absurd yarns are set afioat and they usually find believers. The tougher the yarn the more ready the belief We do not know that there IS any way to prevent this wholesale in dulging in fake stories, for the that few people can be found with patience to trace them to their source And If the source unearthed it would prob ably be found so utterly Irresponsible and unreliable that 1t would be msdemeanor, at least to wreak personal vengeance. Lying and dssimulation are as old as the human family. Adam lied while he delyed in the garden, ard Eve dissmuated David the Psalm lst sad m his wrath that "al men liars" aud doubtless he knew whereof he wrote. Solomon said that there was nothing under the sun so the art and habit of lying, for it seems to be both habit and an art. old in his day and generation Ananias and .Sapphira did lively "stunts' in the ly1ng business in Apostolic times being apparently of thrifty turn of mind, and believing that the possession of little money would not disagree with their religion. But are told that when taxed with lying they immediately fell down and gave up the ghost" This is the only swift 'eondign punishment for lying that history, sacred or profane tells us of If to tax liars with lying nowadays were to be fol- lowed by death what decimation of the worlds pop ulaion there would be!

SILK Culture In Italy.

About 500 A. ID. Persian monks first
brought siikworm eggs concealed in
the head of Il hollow staff to Constan-
tinoplc. Thence silk culture spread in
to Greece. A little later conquest car
ried it to Sicily. From there to Italy
1t was but step. Soil, climate. peo-
pie suited it. The industry took root,
grew. throve and continues to this day.
The thrifty peasant manages to get
silk and oil and wine from the same
small holding. First he plants his null
berry trees, sixteen feet each way;
next he prunes the heads into hollow
cup and trains his vines all over them,
and finally around the edge he sets a
shelter of olive trees. So all seasons
bring him labor and the reward of it.
