THE APRONS
 ENTERTAIN
An Excellent Program Rendered. Big Success in
 Every Way.

The family entertainment and ball held under the auspices of the German American Arion society of Nome in Golden Gate hall Saturday evening last, was of such a nature as to make it a pleasure to chronicle the event. It was big success in every way-social ly, financially and otherwise. The hall was crowded with an enthusiastic and delighted audience: an excellent pro- gram had been arranged and was car ried out, the participants therein per credit upon themselves and give pleas ure and amusement to their auditors. The performance of Conlet and Neal son, California $ favorite sketch team, is deserving of especial mention for the rare treat given by them. Little Vesta Story and Louie Ross, in their cute cake walk, also brought down the house.
 The hall was tastefully decorated for the occasion. Refreshments were served during the progress of the pro- gram, and after it's rendition, the chairs were taken away and jolly social dance was indulged in by those fond of this amusement. The music was fur nished by the Philharmonic orchestra.
 The function was under the direct personal supervision of the entertain ment committee of the society, Messrs. Wm. Huson, F. J. Maynard, and J. F. Eul, and to them belongs the credit of the arrangement of the program and the entire conduct of the affair. They have certainly demonstrated their ability in this line, and the society is to be congratulated on their selection for this branch of work.
 Future entertainments under the auspices of the AriOn society will be looked forward to with much interest by the people of Nome,

Then take the specimen and hang it from the beam of the scales with a hair or fine thread so it will hang down below the pan of the scale under which you have placed pan of water. Care should be taken that the pan nor any part of the gold scales touches the water also that the nugget swings free in the water without touch- ing the sides or bottom. Take the weight of the nugget in water and call it WI. From the two known quanti- ties we can determine the specific gravity, which equals WV divided by w minus WI.

Suit of American Miners
 of Atlin
HISTORY OF CASE
Many N0meiteS Are Interested in the OutCOme--PrOspeCt
 of Victory.

Many Nomeites who formerly lived in the Atlin district, British Columbia, will be interested to know that the case of the American miners against the British Columbia government, a suit in damages, is progressing stead fly, with every assurance of ultimate victory for the miners.
 From one of the instigatOrs of the suit THE NUGGET gets some of the in- side history of the big case, which has been going on quietly since the fall of 1899.
 As will be remembered, on the 18th day of January, 1899, the parliament of British Columbia, by practically unanimous vote, enacted law entitled 1.-The Alien Exclusion Act" This law was aimed directly at the American miners in the Atlin country, which at that time was considered second "Klondike," and immediately upon the passage of the bill men were sent out from Victoria and Vancouver with in- structions to jump all claims located by Americans.
 In the Atlln district things were Tn a chaotic state. When discovered, it was thought to be in the Northwest territory, and accordingly 25O-foot claims were staked; then the British Columbia government proved it's right to the disputed territory and allowed only lO0-fOot claims. Consequently, where there had formerly been one claim there wore afterwards two full claims and 50-foot fraction. To add to this confusion. the Canadian jump CTS arrived on the scene in February and March of 1899, and proceeded to stake right and left. being paid so much by their packers for every claim staked. The fact that the claim had been restaked by another Canadian jumper made no particular difference, and as . result, on Pine creek, the largest and supposed to be the richest creek in the district, about dozen stakes could be seen on the corners ol each and every claim.

 A nugget weighing l6 ounces in air contains some quartE how can we de- termine the amount of gold in the specimen;
 We know it's weight in air and we find that in water it weighs l2 ounces. w in this case is l6 and WI is l2: therefore, the specific gravity of the nugget must be 1. By dividing the specific gravity of gold which varies from r. to l9 one can determine tho specific gravity of the gold on the creek from which the nugget is taken from the formula. but in this case will call it lS) by that of quartz (which can be called a constant with specific gravity of 2.6) and we have 6.923. Then IS (the specific gravity of gold divided by 1 (the specific gravity of the nugget gives 4,500.
 Subtracting the lesser from the greater we have 6.923 minus 4.500 equals 2.423 the proportion of gold. Then subtracting T. from the lesser, we have 300 minus l. equals 3.500, the proportion of quartz. Adding the two together we have 2.423 plus 5000 which equals 5.923 Now it is the mere ques- tion of the rule of three, viz: Ii 5.923 ounces of the nugget contains 2,423 ounces of gold, how much does the whole specimen weighing Is oz. con tam?
 The rule Of three gives the following: 5.923 ?. 423 l6 X, or. 5.923X equals 3S. 76S, which makes x equal to 6.54, nearly. This represents the amount of gold in the nugget.
