The famous ''Blanche Barkley' nugget, weigh ing ,74S ounces and valued at S34, 523, found by four miners at kingOwer, Australia. It was thirteen feet below the surface and was found in land which had been worked over the year be fore. This nugget was exhibited at the Crystal Palace in London and made for its owners S23O per week for months It was the most striking nugget ever found. It's color was brilliant and it contained 95. 3S per cent of pure gold.
 To Digger indian belongs the honor of finding one of the great nuggets of the world He work ed on the sluice-bOXe of placer mine in Nevada County, California. One evening, while assisting in ''clean up," he noticed yellow rock in the stream He had never gold save in the sand state and did not recognize the nugget but he called the foremans attention to the strange rock" It turned out to be pure gold, weighed sixty five pounds and worth Sl7,5O0. The Indian got $500 as a reward for finding this for tune for the owner
 Other world famous nuggets are the ''NlscOunt of Canterbury found at Berlin, Victoria, Aus traa its weight being l22 ounces: the 'Ural ' found in the Ural mountains of Siberia weighing 200 ounces and the "Miass,' found in Russia and valued at S1l 0O0

talns, near the river bank. The ice was evidently the relic of the great glacier that existed there in former ages. The upper ice in time flowed away, leaving only the lower part shut up in this pocket. The river Beresowka only thaws for short time in summer. The surface of the earth in this region also thaws only at this season. and then only to depth of two or three feet. Beneath that the soil is eternally frozen
 A slight melting of the surface of the ice left bright, smooth space, peering , through which the Cossack Jawowsky saw the ancient mammoth preserved, ! as we sometimes see a lobster in a cake of ice. The Cossack knew how inter- esting such relics were to civilized men and promptly reported this one.
 Through the agency of Mr. Horn, the chief of police of kolymsk, the Cos sacks report was conveyed to the gov ernor of Yakutsk. He, being interest ed in scientific matters, promptly com municated the report to the Imperial Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg The greatest scientific undertaking of this kind ever made was then deter mined upon. This was nothing less than an expedition to bring back the complete body of the mammoth. It was promptly organized by the Imperial Academy, with the fullest assistance of the government and the ministry of finance. Dr. Otto Herz, curator of the Imperial Museum, was appointed leader of the expedition.
 The expedition proceeded along the Trans-Siberian railroad as far as 1rkutsk. From there to place of the discovery is a journey by land and water of fully 5000 miles. The scien- tlsts made part of this journey in boats down the Lena river to Yakutsk Then they started on a tremendous overland journey to Sredne Kolymsk. They took 90 horses for transport. The gov ernment gave them company of Cos sacks for transport. A large part of the way lay through virgin forest. Then came the formation called the Taiga, q sort of Arctic moorland, which becomes swampy and dangerous in summer.
 The scientists had to live on salt fish, mares milk and stewed tree bark. Sev- eral lives were lost on the journey, but the scientists reached their destina- tiOn.

BODY OF IMAM MOTH
Found In Northeastern Siberia.-The Only Com plete Specimen of This Extinct Animal
 Yet FOund.-Is Almost Intact.

In Northeastern Siberia, just beyond the limits of the concession owned by the Northeast Siberian Company, the only perfect specimen of mammoth was found last spring, and was con veyed bodily to St. Petersburg, where it is now on exhibition at the Museum of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
 The mammoth was found virtually intact, preserved by natural cold stor- age just as he died in the flower of his youth a hundred thousand or more years ago in the wilds of Siberia.
 This is the only specimen that is practically complete, with eyes, tongue, hair, skin, and all the most perishable parts. Only portion of one tusk was missing when the body was found. Many other mammoths have been dis covered in Siberia more or less com plete, and with much of the flesh in an excellent state of preservation. but some important parts have always been missing. As a rule, the animals and local residents had devoured large part of the flesh before scientists could reach the body.
 In this case the czar's government placed every resource, including the army, at the disposal of the scientists. How perfect the body was is indicated by the fact that the stomach was filled with food in various stages of diges- tion. The conveyance of the mammoth to St. Petersburg is a veritable tri- umph for Dr. Otto Herz, the distin- guished naturalist, who was in charge of the expedition.
 The bones have been taken out of the mammoth, mounted and placed on ex- hibition. The skin, with the tusks and eyes, has been stuffed and placed in a thoroughly lifelike position alongside the skeleton. The visitor to this mu- scum can see the mighty mammoth in his own skin, just as he roamed the Siberian wilds-"hairy, abhorrent, alone."
 The tongue, which is 19 inches long. the intestines and the other internal organs of the mammoth are kept in great jars of alcohol close at hand. This mammoth was first reported by Cossack named Jawlowsky. He found it in . glacier, near the Beresowka river, . tributary of the Kolyma river, in far Northeastern Siberia. The near est settlement is Sredne Kolymsk, 300 versts (a verst is $500 yards) away.
 The situation of the body was a very extraordinary one. It lay in an enor- ] nous pocket of ice, between the moun-

Ques.-Do you know anything about radium, if so please tell me what it is ?
 Ans.-Radium, sometimes called the wizard metal, was discovered, or isO- lated, several years ago by NJ. and Mime. Curie, and was named by them polonium, after the native land of Mime. Curis, who comes from Poland.
 At the present time very little is known about this mineral, only that it possesses the property of shining in the dark, without losing it's luminous power with the passage of time. 1 be- lieve there are only two specimens of this mineral in existence, one owned by Prof. Curie. and is not larger than a buck shot, weighing less than half a grain, for which he has refused an offer of S2O,OOO. The other specimen is in the possession of . German professor, and weighs fifteen one-hundredths of a grain produced from two tons of uran- ium at cost of $75.
 Strangely enough, the substance from which this precious metal is extracted is pitchblend, sort of by-product found in Austria, and heretofore regarded as

Fortunes Found In One Lump

WHERE is always tnge of romance in the
 finding of big nugget of gold. To sud denly come upon fortune in one lump is a streak of luck vouchsafed to but few.
 The largest gold nugget in the world was found in New South Wales, and was worth $14S,OOO It was four feet nine inches long, three feet three inches wide and four inches in thickness through out. This big ''find'' was made at small mining camp known as Hill End, by two prospectors named Eyer and Haltman. They had lost all their money seeking for gold, and at the time of the discovery without cent, deeply in debt and almost on the verge of despair. Their feel ings may be imagined when they suddenly be- came possessed of wealth at one turn of fortunes wheel
 The finding of the "Wecome Stranger" a nugget of great reputation, was matter of acci- dent. It was made at Ballarat, Australia, by two poor puddlers, John Deacon and Richard Oates and mbedded in stiff red clay just below the surface, road that wagons were con stantly passing over it. Not ten inches away a wagon rut ran at depth actually below the spot where the gold was found. On melting, the mug get weighed 2,268 ounces and was valued at $47,67O.

 Ques.-Please tell me through THE NUGGET the salary received by the city clerk and the number of hours he works per day, or the time he is occupied; also the salary received by the secre- tary of the Nome school board and the time he is occupied? TAX PAYER.
 Ans.-Mr. Ryan, city clerk, receives $50 per month; his regular office hours are from 8. m. to p. m. To state the time he is occupied is out of the question, for he holds several offices, such as tax collector, assessor, license collector and register of voters, some of which duties keep him at his office until 10 p. m., during certain portions of the year. Also hs has to attend each meeting of the council.
 Mr. Sawyer, secretary of the Nome school board. until June l. 1903, re- ceived $50 per month; at that time his salary was raised to S1, 200 per year, or Sl0O per month. Like the city clerk, one cannot state the number of hours he works per day or month, but MT. Story, the other member of the school board, said, when interviewed on the subject: "We have meeting once every month to pay bills, etc., but Mir. Sawyer looks after the running of the schools, for am out of town most of the time pros- pecting my claims, and do not have time to attend the little matters which keep coming up."
