AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.

Few people have an idea of the luxury and pense of ugly surf When the surf high at Nome, and boats are prevented from unloading, some
 has to pay the bills The Oregon lost four days by the late storm, her crews wages and expenses floating up to perhaps $400 $500 day. The Wynerc was drawing $50 demurrage per day while she lay out in the roadstead, her taking it easy
 the surf running too high to do any work. The Ar gyle loaded with oil and the schooner that she lowed up from Seattle, loaded with lumber must it is derstood, both be unloaded within two days they will return to Seattle. If they remain, demurrage will have to be paid. The surf comes high and evil dently someone has to pay the bills When the surf does run high, and the Nome roadstead is full of boats the expense of delay runs up into the thou sands of dollars. The expense at this time com paratively light, because most boats plan to escape the early September storms Even at that it was an expensive luxury. However, had there been dozen or moro boats hsre it would have been expensive storm. In reality, the citizens of Nome and the creeks have to pay these expenses the freight and passenger rates figured on basis to these items. Storms expensive luxuries for Alasksns, and Snake river harbor would reduce these items some. If the river harbor were deep enough, small boats at least could in and get out of the storm.

The international races for Amer ica's cup have been sailed more or less regularly whenever the Eng fish people have challenged since 1851, and in all the times the Eng fish boat has won just a single race; that was in 1871, when the Columbia was disabled in one race. However, the Columbia won three out of four races, and the cup re- mained in America. With that single exception, the English boat has been uniformly defeated by the American yacht since 1851. No wonder that Sir Thomas Lipton, game sport though he is, is dis couraged and announced that he will not try again. Most American people would have been generous enough to have wished him suc- cess this year, but the American yacht wouldn't stand for it, evil dently.

A FACT IS A FACT.

We present on another page view of the origin of Alaska that is very different from that held by scientists and investigators in general THE NUGGET does not know the writer but fact is fatal to his position and that is the existence of beds of coal in various parts of Alaska The deposits of carbon that we call coal beds alone prove the semitropca origin of Alaska. Coal is wood hardened, and be found only where at one time there large forests. The forests of the size to produce mountains of coal could not have grown in any but a sem.tropical country.
 The vast coal beds of Cape Lisburne alone overthrow the statements of MT. sbey. just single fact alone overthrows mountains of theory and specula- tion. A fact is hard thing to combat To bump up against fact brings back to earth with a cold thud.' Asingle fact like . mountain of coal oveythrows tons of pipe dreams.

The effect of discipline always challenges the respect and even admiration of men. Three men jump into boat and in the face of heavy surf row out over the waves. The steady nerve, the strong, we'll disciplined oar, the progress made, all challenge the admiration of those who watch on the beach. The human family is so built that all like to see the ef- feet of discipline and training.
 In our mad rush for business and wealth we sometimes think that all the world is selfish and that every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost is the only philosophy that goes in Nome. Yet every kindly act, every heroic act, every unselfish deed, proves the contrary to be true, Nome is all business when she is business, but her people always have time to admire any bit of heroism.
 A mining camp is q very cosmo- politan affair. People of all ranks, conditions, stations and nationali- ties become part of it, and few inquire into the affairs of their neighbors. Yet a single experi- ence, touching scene or a com mon sorrow quickly proves that men are men for all of that and that the human family is very much alike.

PLENTY OF MINERAL IN ALASKA.

Some people imagine that the only mineral that this country produces is gold Specialists, however, tell that silver platinum, coal, bsmuth, tungstin, uranium tin, graphite, vanadium, iridium and number of other minerals to be found in Alaska, most of them in'quantities that will pay we'll. There are, apparently, immense fields of graphite. large de- posts of tin and tremendous beds of coal here The miner and rrospector is not busy only with gold but is looking for other deposits we'll. Just pros- psctors looking carefully for diamonds with fair prospect of not looking in vain. When thinking of the mineral resources of Alaska should bear in mind that gold is only of the many forms of wealth that lie buried beneath the tundra and moun- tains of Alaska. Alaska is great bed of minerals, that needs only to be developed prove the world that the conditions here are absolutely new, that there is other country in the world to be compared with Alaska.

The worst feature about mining in the creeks outside of Nome is tho matter of freighting. When it takes four horses to haul a ton of freight, and costs $2OO a ton to haul it seventy or eighty miles, then the question of mining be- comes . serious one. If Uncle Sam will build about two good wagon roads through Seward peninsula he will do much toward solving the problem. When frcights, light craze and teaming arc figured upon they make a heavy drain upon profits that can be made. No greater boon can come to this sec. tion than to give the country a few good roads.

THE CITY FINANCES.

THc eohdition of the city's finances does not ap- pssf to be encouraging According to the published ys1ost tho city wss on September substantially so0s0oVin arrears This, of course, will be reduced sons as the city has taxes enough coming in to cover that amount and the license fees certainly ought Abp some. When all this is allowed for the fact re-. :aiss tbat the city s running behind and the rrom- isss q Ssiorm and economy are not being redeemed strapdly as the friends of tho administration might wsh It s, sf course, inevitable that the city should 1uo eshnd some in the fall.

perpetuated in Nome. Expenses of that kind are necessary for the good of the town. Taxpayers will not kick expenses of that kind that indicate that substantial progress is being made There is always much senseless criticism made especially of public officials and much of the criticism concerning ex- penses in Nome have substantial foundation.
 Yet withal TIE NUGGET hopes to see every effort made to keep down expenses. Economy should be the watchword of the city. Money spent udiciously will not be regretted. Taxpayers win not kick if they get value for their money As the matter stands taxpayers will have occasion to be otherwise than satisfied if expenses are kept down and the city fathers prosecute reasonable economy

MUCH PRELIMINARY WORK.

While most people who are at all posted on af- fairs are much pleased with the showing that the camp of Nome is making and will make this year, many more are gratified at the prospect for next year. The ditches being dug, the strikes that have bsen made the water rights secured the quantity of new machinery put in place this year, the better freghtng facilities that will follow the increased railroad facilities, these and other improvements made and projected are an indication of much more gold next year and the year following
 Nor ii the prospect entirely confined to gold. The other minerals here to be found also attracting the attention of capital It is impossible that the great fields of coal, tin and graphite that to be found in Seward peninsula should not attract the at tsnton of capital. Such business openings are to bs found here will certainly within short time be developed This certainly makes the average Alaskan

The Good Book puts it, "As a man thinketh. in his heart SO is he." There arc other ways of say ing it, but the fact is that 2 mans thoughts have much to do with the man-much to do with making him and with shaping his destiny. This is only one way of keeping the Alaskan fever" out of the brain-keep the mind so full of healthy. clean, decent thoughts that there is no room for anything else. It really doesn't matter how the thought is expressed. but it is plain that the best road to a sane, healthy life is by sane. hcalthy thinking along right lines.N

IMPORTANCE OF NOME.

Eone as bueiness center is of increasing i'm portanee. Nome is of the shipping ceners of the Pacific coast. Thousands of tons of merchandise, machinery and supplies brought here every This season the Nome boats appear to have more freight than they handle, including of course the freight to Solomon and St. Michael. The business dene assumes an importance altogether out of har' unony with the size of the camp. It merely proves that Nome is the center of business for this vast region and that the shipping to this point s the inerease:' As mining interests develop and more steam thawers and machinery are needed this busi-
 ess will of grow. Ae it is Nome is doing the business of a city of fifty thousand people.
 With proper railroad and transportation service going fifty hundred miles north Nomes shipping interests will quickly double. is because of these possibilities that Nome is attracting so much aten- ton on the outside. This growing importance of the camp of Nome must be highly gratifying to those who have been long identified financially and otherwise. It will mean that more outside money will be sent here and that large investments will be made.
 Nome needs to have but concern, and that should be- to far possible take of these n- : vestmsnts. Every fake hot air investment will make il harder for the legitimate enterprises to get outside aid and 50 hinder the development of the country and interfere with tho prosperity of Nome 4>obiS hetuS outoioe Wohey as muCn as the OutslQe needs the gold of this section Every legitimate busi- nesf enterprise helps the town just every fake is an injury. For this reason there ought to be commun- ity Of interests among those who offer the public square and honest enterprises. There should be an association of the business of the city to help protect the interests of Nome here and on the outside Az far az possible every fake and snde should bc opposed. The moral support at least of the busi- ness men should be given to the legitimate business enterprises. In union there is strength, and a good strong hard pull for Nome will surely count It is doubtful if any town has ever stood the hard knocks that Nome has had and lived. Nome has thrivsd upon them because her business attractions were great enough to the effect of them If now hqwevsr instead of kicking aud roasting the business nen organize to boost and boom, tho effect will be good. Nome is young, and her mining interests are yst in their infancy and the world ought to know thAt the men of Nome believe this and are willing to stand for it. The commercial importance of Ne1uA will stand lots of boosting and booming, and everyone that has been in the habit of kicking and roaasing ought to turn around and "root" for Nome,

KEEP THIS BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

First have something good, then advertise" runs Horace Greelys philosophy, and pretty sound advice it was, too. Alaska has plenty of good openings for men of push and enterprise. Her hills and valleys are full of minerals. It will take energy and money to secure them, but they be secured. Nome needs to keep her name before the people, as we'll as the fact that she has plenty of good openings for men of enterprise. If they have money back of them, So much the better. There is better place to secure results in the way of financial returns than right here in Alaska, and Alaskans ought to keep that fact before the people.

A FEW SERMONETTES.

The man who can control his temper, or his tongue, or his hot air department, or in fact can keep matters under control and espe- cially hold himself down to busi- ness, is the man that can accom- plish results.
The Nome nugget., 1903-09-05

Discipline and training arc tre- mendous factors in successful life. The disciplined man knows at least something of his own strength and weakness and gov erns himself accordingly. Lifo in Alaska is at best strenuous enough. It requires a well disciplined per son to keep it from being too much so. Then, too, by careful disci- pline and training, men get so that they know their business and can work with ease.
