 In the past three years the miner and prespector have opened up many creeks all over Seward pen insula; none but themselves know through what toll and trouble, and few of us appreciate their struggles.

Congress may have given Alaska a delegate in congress, bat we doubt it. However, if such transpires to have been the case, we are inclined to think that the people of North western Alaska should unite on one man irrespective of political atliIi- ations and stand by him loyalty. As we did last year, we again point to Judge Johnson as the logical candidate for the position, TIE NUGGET has not consulted Judge Johnson however, as to his views on this question, but it will do so as soon as it is learned that the delegate bill has passed, if it takes the next three years to do 1t.

There are not few men in Nome who will remember the winter and spring of 1899 and 1900. Nome then had consent government; that IS govern ment which existed by common consent of the peo- pie and for no other reason. It was founded on no statute. Yet, with all its faults, it did fairly good work. The observance of law and order main tained the people paid their taxes not because they were compelled to, but because they considered it duty that they owed. But as the winter months wore away and the days began to engthen, the spirit of unrest and disaffection filled the air. portion of the people rose in revolt against the municipal authorities; they held meetings, both indoors and without they passed resolutions condemnng the mayor the city council, the officials for many alleged acts of malfeasance, miseance, moral turpitude and many other high crimes and m$demcanors" Ora tors who were slver-ongued and orators with brass cappers remarkable only for their resoundng tones,

THE PROSpECTOR AND MINER.

The never-ending reslessness that discovers placers and locates lodes that have become world-famous has made the great and boundess west what it is today.

Nome has been made q port of entry, which means that vessels flying a foreign flag may come di- rect to Nome instead of St. Michael as formerly. To Collector of Gus toms Jarvis is due the credit of se- curing this boon. 1t is probable that this season will witness a number of foreign steamers engaged in the coal transportation business between British Columbia ports and Alaska. On the ether hand an order in council passed by the Canadian government recently permits no American vessels to transport Can adan goods from British Columbia ports to St. Michael or any Alaskan port, and thence in bond up the Yukon.
