IMPRACTICAL,
 N0NSENS|CAL
Sporting Man Thus Describes the Gambling House on
 the Ice.

"Much 'hot-air' talk is being ex- pended in certain quarters nowadays regarding a gambling house and dance hall on the ice of Boring sea-" said a well known sporting man to a NUGGET reporter. ''The idea is impractical and nonsenscal. In the first place such scheme would not pay, and this, of course, would be the only motive for its existence. In the second place, it would be dangerous proposition. No one knows when the ice may break from the shore and drift seaward. Again. it is no sure thing that it would accomplish the desired end that is, getting beyond the limits of federal jurisdiction. Just such plan as this was talked of last winter and ended, as this will. in mere smoke. The sport ing men of Nome have no money to waste in such chimerical schemes. These impractical ideas always origin ate in the imaginative brain of people who have no money to invest them selves, but always have ''something good" for the man with money"

STEAMER ELK
 TO BE ENLARGED
Will be heightened and Refitted ThrOughOut...histOric
 Steamer.

E. B. Barthrop, the hustling manag- ing owner of the little steamer Elk, contemplates lengthening her about 20 feet and completely overhauling and retitting her, making the craft prac- tically new boat.
 The Elk, although comparatively of recent build, has had an adventurous and checkered career in Arctic waters, and has weathered storms and gales that much larger vessels would, with difficulty, live through. She was built in Port Townsend, Wash, in the spring of 1898, and was made and especially equipped for prospecting purposes in northern waters. At that time the Elk was owned by party of l5 pros- pectors whose intention was to investi- gate the kOtzebue sound country. The Elk left Townsend during the summer of 1898, and after stormy passage, finally reached the Selawick river, up which she proceeded. It was getting late in the season, and the ice suddenly formed and caught the little steamer in it's firm brace, not to be released until the spring breakup. Among those aboard the Elk were Capt and Mrs. Bens, Capt. Smith and John Stone house, the latter. now a well-known and successful Buster creek operator.
 The larger number of the Elks pas sengers were entirely unused to the rigOrs of an Alaskan winter, and as a consequence nearly all of them were taken down with scurvy, and five or six of the party died from this dread disease.
 Other prospectors in the kotzebue sound country heard of the sad misfor- tune of the Elk party through natives, and miners meeting was held to or ganize party to send relief. Mai. E. s. Ingraham, formerly a well-known Nomeite, volunteered to head the par ty, and in company with several others, set out for, and finally reached their destination, bringing succor and relief to the ice-imprisoned passengers of the little craft.
 During the season of 1899 the Elk piled between St. Michael and Nome, since which time she has run between coastwise ports. The Elk will be re- membered as being the first vessel to reach Nome from the outside in the year 1901.

AN OLD MINER
 GIVES OPINION Believes That Section Between Barracks and Hastings
 Is All Right.

'l believe that the country lying be- tween the Barracks square. in Nome, and Golden Gate creek, which is about a mile and a half east of Hastings creek, will prove, as d whole one of the richest and best producing mineral belts in this district" said Fred Seger to d NUGGET reporter. "I came to Nome in July, 1899, and immediately went to Hastings creek. liked the formation of that particular section at that time. and have lived there prac- tically ever since, being satisfied that had found something good enough for me. Time only increases and strength ems my first convictions regarding this section. Gold seems to be impregnated in the ground from the beach line to the hills. Some of the gold found is quite coarse. believe that the benches opposite Nos. 3 and on Has, tings creek. on both sides of the creek. and extending along in line with them. will prove the richest streak, and when bedrock is struck something big may be found. Practically at grass roots from to cents d pan can be found where the ground is frozen: where it is not frozen the gold seems to have sift- ed on down to bedrock.
 'There is considerable activity down along the line, Many of the claims, however, are claimed by contesting owners, which will tie the ground up until the courts settle the matter finally"
 MT. Seger is an old prospector and miner, and his opinion is entitled to consideration.

driver often earns dollar by going out of
his way to pass truck loaded with bar
rels The barrels must be empty and the
truck going in the same direction as the
players If there is anything in the barrels
or the truck is coming from the opposite
direction 1t is hoodoo.
