EXTENT NOT KNOWN
An OId.Time Miner Talks of the Beach Strike Near Gun.
 ningham Creek,

The ruby beach sand, the gold from which filled thousands of pokes in the summer and fall of 1899, is attracting considerable attention along that part of the beach between Derby and Hast | ings creeks, a few miles below Fort Davis. The red paystreak has been located back in the tundra, not far from the beach, and scores of cabins and men are in evidence in that locality.
 But after all, while the ruby pay streak has been located as yet but little gold has been taken out. The paystreak is of the same character as that found in front of the town of Nome, especially in the vicinity of Peluk creek.
 It was discovered two years ago by an old time prospector, named M. J. Connolly, who has mined for placer and quartz in Montana, Idaho, Utah and California. He owns discovery claim on Cunningham creek, and could have owned rich benches in the same vicinity had he not, like the man in Sam Dunhams Lament of the Old Sour Dough" never located claim un- til he had found that ''paydirt pervaded the same" Mir. Connolly acquired dis covery claim on Cunningham by pur- chase, and lost promising bench claims through habit. Nevertheless he is sat isted. Down in that vicinity he says, there is promising ground, which, how ever, can only be successfully worked with abundance of water. This is promised by the proposed building of ditch from the Flambeau river, which it is expected will be built next year.
 "There is lots of paying ground there" said Mir. Connolly, and if had plenty of water I could take out two fortunes. But for the past two years MT. Connolly has contented himself with taking out grub stake on his claim and then hieing himself to the hills to search for quartz. During his long residence in tho Western states he acquired the quartz fever, and ever SluCc uISu ColuiHS Io eHlS ocSOioh, do early as 1897, he has been looking for quartz, when not rustling for a grub stake He has satisfied himself that this is quartz country and has already located two promising ledges on the divide between Nome and Snake rivers. They will develop into mines, he says. But to return to Cunningham creek the placer claims and the ruby sand. Mir. Connolly thinks that the main run of gold there came from the direction of Nome river. Some is characteristic beach gold, another run is coarser. Still another run of the precious metal seems to have come from the east-in the direction of Hastings creek. How extensive the gold deposit in that sec tion may be has not yet been deter mined. More will be known about it before next spring. In the meantime a lively camp has sprung up on Derby, Cunningham, Hastings and Sanders creeks and along the beach, and every one is hopeful

WORK OF THE WOMAN'S CLUB An Interesting Meeting Held at the Club Rooms on
 Wednesday.

The ladies of the Kegoayah Kozga Club met at their club house Wednes- day and pursued the subject of English literature. The effect of the Norman French conquest on the English, to- gether with an outline of the rulers of France and England, was ably handled by Mrs. Binns.
 Miss Gordon took up the subject of "Chivalry in the Norman-French Period," and from vivid outline made remarkably clear presentation.
 Mrs. w. B. Watts continued with an interesting talk on "Arthur and the Round Table," closing with delight. full reading from Tennyson.
 Next weeks program will include "The Crusaders" by Mrs. King; ''The Good Results of Feudalism," by Mrs. Leedy; ''Defects of Feudalism," by Mrs. Horny; an historic sketch oi Chaucer, with the chief characteristics of his poetry, by Mrs. Swanton.

Your Glasses Tire

And hurt your eyes, and no wonder, for you have selected them yourself, or have gotten them from one to whom the science of optics is a sealed book, hence the defect of your eyes, and the correcting of the defect was guessed at, and it proved, as it always does, that gusss-work is good enough only when it hits.
 It cannot be too strongly impressed on your mind that the value and salu- tary effect of glasses depend entirely upon the skill of the one from whom you get them, to determine and correct the different defects that oft exist in each eye.
 Ed. Friedman, scientific and practi- cal optician, is highly recommended by all his patrons, who are numbered in the city by the score. Office at The Igloo, 35S Front street.

 FOR QUARTZ In the Solomon River COuntry-- A Rich Copper Streak
 Located.

Mushers from Solomon, who reach Nome from time to time report consid- erable activity in prospecting for quartz. Many men are developing g lodges or looking for quartz, and they are being rewarded.
 Five men are at work on a quartz claim owned by the Council City rail- road people, and it is reported that they have found excellent prospects. A copper vein, heavily impregnated with gold is also said to have been located in the Hurrah section recently.

IS THE SYSTEM
 A FAILURE? ?
Not a Wireless Word Has Yet Been Received From
 St. Michael.

It begging to look as if the wireless telegraph system between Port Safety and St. Michael is doomed to be a fail ure for this winter, at least. Accord ing to dispatch from St. Michael dat ed Oct. 2S, published in recent issue of THE NUGGET, work was still in pro- gress on the St. Michael station, all though, under many difficulties, owing to the cold weather.
 Nearly month has passed since that date, and it would seem, if the system is a success, that communication should have been established ere this. But SC far as known, not tick has been heard, and probably none will be for some time to come, if at all.
 If the government had expended the money used in xperimenting with wire, less telegraphy for the construction oi land line from Nome to St. Michael via Norton bay, there would have been no question as to it's efficiency. EX- periments in Alaska are not exactly the thing, if it is efficiency that i. desired.
