Brought Ashore Thursday.

The men who went out on the last lighter to the St. Paul Tuesday night, were brought ashore last Thursday afternoon. The surf ran so high after the last lighter left with passengers for the St. Paul that the men were not able to come ashore. They stayed on the lighter back of the St. Paul until 3 o'clock next morning, when the St. Paul steamed away. A tug picked the lighter up and finally anchored it, when the men were taken aboard the tug, and about noon next day they were taken aboard the Argyll. It was q long, cold. wet wait for the men on the lighter and the tug. When they reached the Argyll they were in clover. They were comfortably housed all the time they were aboard, but decided to try for the shore Thursday afternoon.
 A dory, well handled by three men, made two trips to the tug and landed them safely on the beach. The men who handled the dory were experts with the oars and knew their business, and did as smooth a job landing their men as one would care to see. The dory was manned by Jos. Palmer, Dun can McIsea and John Bagley.

MAXWELL
 WINNER The Contest Was Fast and Furious. MEN WELL TRAINED Both Men Were in the Pink of Condition and Put up a
 Good Fight.
MEN WELL TRAINED

The glove contest held at the A. B. hall last Thursday night was fast and furious from the first. The men entered the ring a little after 10 o'clock, Max we'll being the first to appear. Max wells seconds were Dan Rodgers, Jack Riordan and Con Sheehan. In kelly's corner were Charley Gleason, Paddy Davis and Billy Newell.
 Fred Carter was the referee. Both men and the referee were introduced, and the contest began. Maxwell was clearly the favorite from the first and did not disappoint his friends in the re- suit.
 Maxwell started in like a whirlwind and had Kelly going almost from the first. In the first round he took the lead and kept 1t almost through the en- tire contest. In the second, sixth and seventh Kelly showed up strong. Both men put up clever contest, sparring and lodging to good advantage. There was plenty of hard hitting showing that both men were out for the decision. Maxwell was much lighter in weight and much more shifty on his feet and clever in his boxing. One fast and furious round followed after the other, yet in the seventh and eighth both men showed up strong. From that on it looked like Maxwell. His clever dodg- ing and hard hitting were telling on Kelly, and in the eleventh Kelly was groggy. In the twelfth . hard punch by Maxwell landed on Kelly's jaw and he went to the floor and was counted out. Maxwell did some terrific hitting in the last rounds and it was all of with Kelly as soon as one of them land ed on the jaw.
 Maxwell simply boxed his opponent of his feet. He was quick and alert up to the end, and while he showed the effect ot his punishment, he was always ready to keep up the contest.
 Both men stood some terrific punish mont. There were blows enough ex- changed to put dozen men out of the race, and they stood it to the end. All in all it was one of the best glove con- tests that has ever been seen in Nome. The hall was we'll filled with the friends of both men, and the crowd was evi- dently well pleased with the outcome.
 The preliminary was jolly bout be- tween Leo Dean and "EskimO Joe," in which both boys showed considerable skill and science. The crowd was put in good humor by the work done in the preliminary.

Alaska, He Holds, Has Always Been As Cold As It Is N0w.-
 Character Not Changed.

THE NUGGET recently called atten- tion to the view of Prof. Hollick, of the US. Geological Survey, as to the early character of this country. Prof. Holl- ock believes that there is every evi- dence that Alaska was formerly semi- tropical country. Mir. Gibley believes otherwise, and so expresses himself:
 "I think have exploded the old the ory that the earth's axis has suddenly changed at some time. and that previ- ous to that Alaska was tropical coun- try. am persuaded from a long fa- miliarity with the bones of the extinct animals and from having seen the places from which they have been re- covered, that the climate ofAlaska was the same as now when those animals lived and thrived there. believe that . false premise was adopted when it was taken for granted that the masto' don was . tropical animal simply be- cause it was of as large proportions as the elephant. It has long been evident to me the mastOdons lived on mosses and grasses as do tho moose of today
 I have in my collection some of the hollow teeth of the mastodon still packed with moss in all respects as that growing on the surface of the ground today. Invariably in digging the bones and tusks you will find large punches o1 almost fresh moss in and between the bones, showing that at the time Of the catastrophe which buried the bones

NOME AND ITS
 GREAT FUTURE
What the Editor of the Waukesha Press Said of Nome and
 Its Prospects.

"Nome is all long and no broad" as the Dutchman said, but Nome is prac- tically this whole section. Nome is not quite, but nearly the entire peninsula.
 It is the metropolis of Northwestern Alaska and headquarters of all mining enterprise. This fact is easily demon- strated by the amount of freight and passengers haDdled at Nome. Perhaps twenty boats run from Seattle and San Francisco to Nome, making from four to six trips A season. The Ohio brought over 7jO passengers to Nome on her first trip and 25O on her second trip. Each trip she has brought nearly 5000 tons of freight. What the Ohio is doing, the Senator, the Roanoke, the St. Paul, the Oregon and the rest of the fleet are doing. It is evident that Nome is the center of what is to be the greatest d-producing section of the world. California and Colorado will have to look out, for the heart of the gold mining industry of the world will soon be in Nome. So far the Nome banks have shipped neatly $1, 100000 of gold and the season has hardly com menced. It is evident that this will be the best season Nome has ever known. Three or four years ago the gold was mined on the seashore and in the river beds. That day has gone by, but in place of 1t there is mining done here on ss businssslike principles as the Waukesha National bank is carried on. Machinery is being bought and placed in order, the latest and best that money can secure.
 Quartz mines are being discovered, with the result that in a few years these, together with the deep placer mines, will give men work the year round. Gold mining in these parts is probably the most remunerative occu- patton in the world. am not yet an enthusiast, but l can see that North western Alaska has great future, and there is no better place for legitimate investments than right here.

CHAT ABOUT
 THE YUKON
Up.River Country Items of In. terest--Assay Office at
 WhitehOrSe.

United States Commissioner Graef and party lost several hundred dollars of government money in the rapids on Fortymile river. They were on the way from Steele creek to Fortymile. The boat struck rock in the rapids and broke in pieces. The party reached the shore safely, but lost the money.
 The people of Valdez are not st all satisfied with tho mail service given them by the P. r. X N. O., and have petitiOned the postoffice department for redress. The petition states that from actual count kept of the arrival of thirteen mails one was on time, and the other twelve were on an average over four days late, and that on one occasion the mail boat was actually fourteen days late.
 The Tanana is the same as any other camp, writes 6 man who is on the ground. There are men knocking it and others sticking up for it, the same as they did both in the Klondike and Nome. All of the claims being devel. oped, especially those on Pedro, Wolf and Twin creeks, ure paying we'll. Some big cleanups have been made, and the outlook, on the whole, Is good.
 The government assay office for which Whitehorse people have been laboring so long has been received at that place. The plant is a small one, but it is thought will answer the pur- pose until larger one can be pro- cured.
 The annual cleanup of the Yukon Territory and Alaska this year has produced results far beyond the ex. pectations of the most sapguine, and it is quite probable that the amount of gold mined will he nearly double the output of the year 1902.

Right You Are.

II the Pullman Palace Car company
would pay Its just taxes in Colorado
and discard some of its tax agents in
this state 1t would stand much higher
with the people. The Chieftain ven-
lures the prediction that the Pullman
car company squanders more money
in lobbyists and tax agents each year
than the maximum of its just assess
ments has ever been and such lobby
lists are probably responsible for its
higher assessments.-Pueblo Chief
