More than one half of the output for 1901 was in the form of graphitized electrodes for use in the manufacture of alkali and bleach by electrolytic processes, the remainder being consumed in the manufacture of paints, lubricants, pen cils, motor brushes, crucibles and dry batteries.

 graceful Affair.

The body of Nora Laygayuck, the young woman who died a few days ago of consumption in a shack on Fourth street, is at Lange's undertaking rooms It was not buried as reported, owing to difference of opinion be- tween the city and federal authorities over the expense of burial. The body was rolled in blanket and placed on the tundra near the shack, and all last Sunday night brother of the woman watched beside his sisters body and drove away the hungry malamutes which would have devoured it.
 Monday morning Joseph Silk, for merly of Port Safety, interviewed the federal and city authorities concerning the disposition to be made of the body, and Judge Moore, it is said, stated plainly that it would be well for the city authorities to see that the body was given decent burial. Not until then was action taken and the body re. moved to Lange's.

NUGGETS FROM
 COLD RUN
The Outlook Was Never so Prom ising for That Section of
 the Peninsula.

Jas. A. Gibson, the well-known sCur- dough, is in town from Gold Run, hay ing mushed the entire way on foot. Mir. Gibson, like most Gold Run miners, has the utmost faith in the future of that section. While the past season was backward, a great deal of good work was done and the resulds accom- plished were highly satisfactory. Mir. Gibson brought down three fine mug gets found last summer at the mouth of Alder creek. The three are worth Sl29. The claim at the mouth of Alder yielded LOGO in the time during which it was worked.
 The prospects for next year are ex- cellsnt, and a largely increased mining activity will be witnessed next year in the Gold Run district.

THE WATER
 SUPPLY For Domestic Purposes
 is Impure PROTESTS DON'T GO
Nome Needs Competent Health Officer if Any Relief is
 To Be Had.

In THE NUGGET of October 28 the following was published relating to the quality of water furnished the people of Nome:
 Complaints are being freely made concerning the quality of water sup piled the people of Nome. Many cases of sickness are pronounced by the doc tors to be directly attributable to using and drinking impure water. It is al legged that most of the water delivered by the watermen is taken from Snake river just above the bridge. At any rate there is sickness abroad, and there is no doubt that the water is bad. If Nome had city council some steps might be taken to compel water dealers to supply as good an article of water as can be had, but the city council has no time to look after the public health.
 In the meantime the water people are compelled to use should be thor oughly boiled, and then it should be boiled again. In this way an epidemic of fever may be averted.
 It will, perhaps, be needless to state that THE NUGGET'S only object in printing the above was to call atten- tion to the fact that the water fur nished the people is BAD, as is attest ed by all the reputable physicians o1 the town. No reflections were made upon the men who supply the water yet the following article, evidently in spred by well known dealer in phony ''indulgences, and signed by mum. Der of watermen, appeared in the News of Nov. 3:
 Nome, Nov. l, 1903. 3.-We, the under signed watermen of Nome, do hereby deny the false, malicious and untruth' ful statement made in THE NUGGET October 28, wherein it is stated that the water we serve to our customers is being taken from the Snake river. All of the water for drinking purposes de livered by us is taken from point or Dry creek near the brewery, and is the best water Obtainab ble at this time.
 The health officer, Dr. Hill, has ex amined the water taken from variou: sources. and has pronounced this the best. We protest again the attempt o this paper to injure our business anc against the lying attitude of its owner Major Strong.
 It need not be pointed out that al the falsity, untruth and maliciousness which have been evinced is shown ir the publication of the above, which is

City Attorney Bell Re-

RESULT OF A DEAL
in Which is Shown That There Are More Ways Than One
 To Pay a Debt.

In pursuance to a deal made ten or twelve days ago, James ". Bell, city attorney, was removed from office by the "city council" on Monday night, and John McGinn was appointed to the place.
 On October 26 the salary of the city attorney was increased to $lj0 a month. the understanding being that MT. Bell December l. next. But the council majority are devoid of the traditional honor which is supposed to exist among a certain class of men. so every prom ise, specific and implied, was broken, Bells head fell, Councilman Hill dis charged an ''obligation,' and McGinn winter.
 When the council met, all the mem- bers were present, excepting Rowe.
 A communication from J. H. Rover on the discussion that took place at the last two meetings of the council over the amount of his bill for auditing the books of the late city clerk was re- ceived and placed on file.

MINING
 ''iiIA GRAPHITE May Assume Large
 Proportions MONEY TO BE MADE Manufacture of Artificial Graphite Has Increased Enormously
 In Recent Years.
MONEY TO BE MADE

That graphite is to be found in large quantities in Seward peninsula is well known, but as yet little attention has been paid to this mineral. Vast lodges have been found in various sections, in York district, in the Shismareff coun- try, in the Sawtooth range, in the Grip pie river section. as well as in the country north of Kotzebue sound. In the Sawtooth range, it is said, noun tains of graphite can be found. As to quality, only that known as float" has as yet been seen. Absolutely no work has been done on any of the lodges that have been discovered.
 But there can be little doubt that the mining of graphite will become an i'm. portant industry Tn this section in the near future. The deposits are enor- nous, and the demand is constantly in- creasing.
 According to the United States geo. graphical survey reports" says the San Francisco Examiner of a late date

called "Watermeu's Protest" There is a deal of unnecessary venom in the communication, for which. however, the "watermen" need not be held re- sponsible.
 THE NUGGET proposes to see, so far as it can, that only the best water pro curable is distributed in the town. THE NUGGET will also state, upon the authority of REPUTABLE PHYSICIANS only, that the source from which the water is taken on Dry creek" is IMPURE, and Snake river water at d point some distance above the bridge would be much more preferable. THE NUGGET, as a public newspaper, will use its best endeavors to protect the rights and privileges of all citizens: one of these rights is not to be com pelled to use poisonous water, no mat ter where it comes from.
 If Nome had HEALTH OFFICER. perhaps some attention might be paid to the source of water supply. But the city is without one, or even an apology for one Last winter Dr. Derbyshire, then health officer, carefully looked after the water supply of the city; the previous winter Dr. $. J. Call acted in similar capacity. This year it is no- body's business, yet it appears that when an attempt is made to protect the helpless, coarse abuse and inspired vituperation is one result.
 Just the same THE NUGGET will con- tinue to denounce not only evils of this kind, but all others kind. as soon as it is satisfied that they exist.

A VESSEL
 IN THE PACK
Small ShOOner Alleged to Have Been Sighted Yesterday
 Out in the Ice.

What is believed to have been a small sailing vessel was sighted yester- day afternoon away out in the ice pack. Those who looked at the boat through field glasses are positive that the ob- ject seen was a craft of some kind, some even going so far as to aver that it was the little schooner Zenith, which sailed south week ago. One man who fol- lowed the object with pair of glasses, was sure that he saw small boat be- ing launched from the deck.
 Of course, it is barely possible that the Zenith may have been caught in the ice-pack. which came in in force Monday night and early Tuesday morn ing, and, if this be the case, the vessel may be in sore straits.
