According to Mir. Rhodes will the United States will receive fifty per cent more of his beneaction than British coonists. This, however, will probably be recthed by his executors who have absolutely unre- sriced ownership of the residue which probably amounts to moiety of the estate It may be- there. fore, that in the changes that will undoubtedly be made by the executors that the number of scholar ships allotted to America may be reduced to for each state territory The scholarships are not open to women, for, Mir. Rhodes, when it was urged upon him that women should be included re marked: As for women, someone else must look out for them. l the lookout for those who will do the governing of the nations in the years that to come"
 TIE NUGGET, in common with every resident of this section of Alaska is anxious see the scholar ships allotted to Alaska captured by pupils of the schools of Nome. We venture tho prediction that they will be. Nome has number of youths who the peers of any to be found in any state ter ritory of the union, Cur schools excellent, and will compare favorably with those of older commun- ties. We especially proud of the work being accomplished. and trust that the efficiency of our public schools will never be npairad.

TIE HALF NOT TOLD.

A medical man, friend of THE NUGGET's, who resides in Council City, in private letter, ref rs modestly to a number of natives whom he has treat ed for various diseases in the past few weeks. Thte were four or five of these, among them being woman with dislocated shoulder All of their wants kindly and promptly attended to, of course. Physi- clans and surgeons in Alaska do their full share when it comes to working for nothing, in many cases, not receiving tha nks In discussing the of the natives this gentleman says, and he says with % much truth and sincerity, that take the liberty of publishing it: "Now there is not cent in any of
 these cases, do expect it, not, certainly. from the parental government. If these natives were Cubans Filipinos some South island savages, there might be some hope for them, but not in Amer ca. would not have wear-d you with this, but for the fact that l note constantly in THE NUGGET the lively interest taken in all that the natives but you never the half of what l see, and their neglect condition, from medical point of view; and yet they are wards of this great country. think the much abused John Bull can compare fav orably his treat ment."
 Our medical friend writes but the naked truth The treatment of the native of this coast, view il from what point you will, is simply infamous.

PLUCK OF THE PROSPECTOR.

IL will be noticeable to the readers of THE NUGGET that the reports from the north which have been pub
 ished from time to time in its columns not tine tured with gloomy forebodngs It will have Teen also noticed that the men who have lived aid oiled in the northern section of the peninsula have Lot indulgcd in "hot air" They have been extremely conservative in their statements, but they have shown their faith by their works Let us indulge in little retros pection In the fall of l9O0 W. ;. Thompson was appointed United States commissioner and re cordcr for Good Hope district. This includes the Shismare inlet country Mir. Thorn pson has sta yed with' his district. He has never boomed it, nor have any of the hardy men who have been in it for more than two years. Now 1t is known that that section bids fair to be important gold produce r. For the past two years probably thirty men have scdulousl applied themselves to the work of pres prcting. They have lahored under many disadvant- ages, yet uncomplainingy. In that time they have demonstrated that "pay" exists in a number of creeks, and next summer will witness consider ble output of gold from that section. The same may ls said of the Agiapuk, the kougaroll and Falrhavrn districts. The men who remained there were rot daunted by the denunciations of the dsappointed- those whose feet soon became cold, because gold not found in the first pan of dirt. These men will reap their reward. Candle creek, roundly anathe- matized only last year, promises to be rich creek. The Inmachuk is rapidly coming to the front and it gives promise of being of the greatest gold pro- ducers of Seward peninsula.
 The region north of Kotzebue sound, which has attracted attention since 1S9S the ot mad stampede will yet prove great godbearing section, both in placer and quartz. That bona fde strk, have been made in that region longer bc doubted.
 And all this has been brought about by persever- and daring No mineral country presenting equal hardshps this has ever been exploited. We afc in saying that people, except Americans, would exhibit the same push, pluck and perseverance. To explore country such this needs physical strength, fortitude, patience unequaled The climate l. rigorous, the hardshps numerous and only brave hearts and wirg hands may hope to succeed
 The tenacity of purpose with which men hunt for gold is truly remarkable It is not too much to say with the history of the past three years before us, that every mile of this peninsula will te thoroughly
 rospected in succeeding years, and that inho-pitahe as the climatic conditions, the ground will be made to give up its mineral treasures.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF GAMBLING.

The sudden and somewhat unexpected closing of gambling in Nome has brought out many different opinions relative to the business, for such it surely is All men, 1t is said, arc imbued less, with the gambling spirit the good deacon of the church. in moment of weakness has been known to daily with chance. The greatest gamblers on earth are the bulls and bears of Wall street There the lamb is eectd ard all that he do is to brat when the cold strike. hln after the shesir. l his, however, may be true of all kinds of gambling.
 One of the most noted of American gamblers was Patrick F. Sheedy, and it may not be out of lacc here to give few of his ideas to gambling. In an article written year two ago for agaznc. among other things Sheedy said; Good credit was what made big player out of me. After had been in New York 6 while, men always willing 10 lend me money. l might lose it all at one game, and then would start in to win enough to pay my debts which would amount say 10 ten thousand dol lars. l would want to win this at one sitting be- cause made it rule to pay all my creditors at the time. If you pay one and not another there is bound to be little bit of feeling and mis- understanding
 But have not play yed cards to amount to any thing in twenty years. Why Because l can't afford to win. There falseala armsl don't call them n1en-who are apt to squeal ii they lose much. They could hurt my reputation, which l would not have happen for any amount of money The real success in lie. from my stand point. Is the man who, wins and holds the confidence and friend ship of other Many gamblcrs do this which is than be soil of plenty Of men whom the world rates higher than the gamb CT. The latter is almost always gooi fellow, and is often clever, but he is rot likely to be leve-headed in everything Sooner later he goes broke, because he acquires false idea of the value of money and, after things have been coming his way for while, he begins to think he can't lose. But the pitcher that goes the well too often is eventually broken. Don't gamble with money you can't afford to lose, and don't play more then penny yante with women, unless you willing to let them have your money. Ifyou win they will hate you.
 An who will say that Mr. Sheedy is not man of wide observation and philosopher, we'll?

A PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The action of the school board in determining to place before Andrew Carnegie, the founder of public libraries, both at home and abroad, the good that may be done in this far northland by means of a prop erly equipped library and building, is in the right direction. Mr. Car negie has given millions for this work. Hundreds of towns have, through hts munilicence, been en- abled to open and maintain pub- lie libraries. Their benefit to com munities cannot be overestimated, and especially, in an isolated coun- try such as this, are the benefits de- rived most apparent. Mr. Carnegie gave $25 ,000 for library and build Ing in Dawson, the city agreeing to maintain il at cost of about $2,00O yearly. He may be induced to in clude Nome i'll his list of library benefactions. To attain this end the school board should have the the unqualified support of the peo- pie. We do not think that anyone can be found who will deny the great desirability of wcll-equipped libraries. Argument in support of them is not necessary. Many men in Nome appreciate the good work done by St. Bernard library. It has been q Godsend to hundreds ef men. But it is not maintained as it should be, that is to say, it does not receive the fnan- cial support that is necessary to maintain it. Rev. c. E. Rvherg, who has been Indrfaligable in this work, is entitled 10 great credit for what has been already accom- pllshtd. lie has received earnest support from the few, but the many have been lukewarm. This should not be. Each citizen, we hold, should do a little toward it's sup port, and thus help the community and themselves.

THE CANAL ROUTES.

A correspondent of TIE NUGGET asks for information as to the lsth- milan Canal Commission and what was the substance of it's report con corning the two routes across the isthmus.
 The commission reported both routes entirely practicable and feasible. Neither has any material commercial advantage over the other as to time although the dis tance between our Atlantic and Pacific coast ports is less by the Nicaragua route. The Panama route is about one fourth the length of that in Nicaragua; it has less locks, less elevation of summit level, and far less curvature, all contributing to Correspondingly de- creased risks peculiar to the passage through canal. The estimated annual cost of operation and main tenance of the Panama route IS but sixtenths that for the Nicaragua route. Tho commission estimated ten years for the completion of the Panama canal and eight years for the Nicaragua waterway. The water supply is practically unlim- ited on both routes, but the con trolling or regulating works being automatic, are much simpler and more easily operated on the Pan anna route. The Nicaragua route is practically uninhshlted; on the Panama route there is considerable population, and yellow fever and other tropical diseases are always found.
 In regard to the negotiation of concessions and treaties, a member of the cana commission is quoted as saying that there is not much choice between the two routes, al- thoug gh he admits that the Near agua route may, perhaps, be ''freer from the complicaling shadows of prior rights and concessions"

THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS.

When Cecil John Rhodes the ''uncrowned king of South Africa" made his will he provided for the establishment. or foundation of a large number of scholarships in Oxford University, England. These scholarships are to be distributed among the English speaking peaple of the earth, each state territory, province colony receiving two scholarships tenabe for three years, the sum devised for their mainte- nance being $1500 per year This will entite each state and territory of the United States to send two students Oxford for the space of three years. Eff
 teen hundred dollars per annum will maintain q stu dent at Oxford in great comfort and will give him every opportunity to acquire general and special instruction, in the various departments of knowledge. Under the terms of the will each applicant from the different states territories colonies undergo special examination, the physical, well mental qualities of the applicant playing important part
