Harry Shearer'S Relics.

Among other things which people
find to amuse themselves with on Sun
day afternoons, this spring, is hunting
and target practice, and almost every
kind of firearm extant is in evidence.
Some curious results are obtained, es-
pecially from target practice, where
the later guns and high power amuni-
tion are used. AS an example of this
the relic of last Sundays sport, which
is being carefully treasured by Harry
Shearer, is an eloquent, if much batter
ed example of what power may be hid
den in small cartridge.
Last Sunday small party were out
for walk and what sport they could
find in trying their guns, one of which
was 30-4O Winchester, provided with
a new grade of ammunition, said to be
equal to that served by the army with
the krag-Jorgensen. An old axe was
found, and this was driven into log
and soft-nosed bullets fired at the bit
Where the bullets struck the bit on the
side of the eye, they penetrated both
sides and the helve, and where they
struck the steel Of the block, they pene-
trated good one-sixteenth of an inch.
Further experiments with ordinary
ammunition showing that a common
rifle may be converted into an explo-
sve shell by drilling out the back of it,
loading the space with smokeless pow
der, and wedging in percussion cap
from the other end.
Shearer has number of relics which
he is keeping under lock and key.

THINKS ARCTIC
ROUTE POSSIBLE
DR.. Frederick Cook Believes Rus.
Sia'S Baltic Fleet Could Reach
Orient by the North.

New York, March 30.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, who accompanied Peary on
his last trip and who, last summer, at
tempted the ascent of Mount Mckinley
in Alaska, stated today that the pro-
ject of taking the Russian fleet from
the Baltic to the Far East via the Arc
tic ocean was not as impracticable as it
seemed at first glance.
"While do not see that the Russian
ships would be in any better position
after making the journey that way than
they would be by going through the
Red sea, yet the proposition is not as
impossible as it appears at first glance, F"
said Cook. "The voyage has been
made once in 1878, and there is no rea-
son why it should not be made again,
providing the war ships are able to
withstand the pressure of the ice. The
Verge, a small boat, made the voyage
in the summer of 1873.
"Of course it would be impossible to
get through in the winter time, but the
Vega, which, by the way. was built
specially for ice work, succeeded in
getting very close to Boring straits be-
fore being compelled to lay UP. The
Russian ships would probably be able
to make the tripin two months making
something like seven knots, which is
about all that any shin can make
through the ice."

requirements OF the U. S. boiler inspec-
tors will know, allows a working pres
sure OF 1864 pounds. This is surely an
adequate pressure for any fire engine;
$50 pounds would be more like what is
required at any time. (See Sec. AIS
Revised Statutes United States
On the occasion of the first test,
which was made on Sunday afternoon
near the Wild Goose depot. on the
Sandspit, many of our leading citizens
being present, two powerful streams
were thrown to a distance of 1870 feet.
Despite this, the citizens committee
and councilmen present requested that
test be made of the engines lifting
power. This was accordingly done
shortly afterwards, the engine being
placed on the Snake river bridge. This
test was witnessed bv larger con-
course of people than were present at
the other one, and was eminently salts
factory. Among those present was the
representative of "a certain local paper,
which has ever since on every occasion
given expression to derogatory and
malicious statements respecting this
engine.
In conclusion, want to say that
have the opinion of other engineers,
competent men and men of experience
in this line, holding the highest
licenses from the United States gov
eminent, that this so-called "Moses
engine" is good engine, is not dam
gerous to life and limb, is not valueless
except for old junk, as Expert FACET
says it is; and, further, | will say that
this much-abused piece of machinery is
capable of good work and service, and
may be the means of saving this town
from total humiliation some day. 1t
is standard make, and can be kept in
good condition at minimum of cost.
Should MIR. FACET, the late grand
Jdry or any Of Nome's professional
knockers" SO desire, | stand ready to
back up my assertions with coin of the
realm, and offer to prove all say by
the recognized tests, as formulated by
the supervising board Of inspectors OF
hulls and boilers of the United States
government. Step up, gentlemen
money talks-or hold your peace for

THE MOSES"
FIRE ENGINE

Editor NUGGET:-As the engineer
who handled the fire engine purchased
by the city last summer from Mr.. B.
Moses, during the tests made before the
purchase was contaminated, | would
ask the use OF your valuable columns to
make statement regarding the mat
ter that will correct some Of those
which appear in the report OF the late
grand jury, which body secured the
services of Mr.. J. B FACET as On ex-
pert on engines. According to their
report, Mr.. FACET places value Of
800 on the engine, and at the same
time declares it to be dangerous to
life and limb"
With all due respect to Expert Fa-
get, whom, l am informed, is the pos
SCISSOR Of an assistant engineers license,
l am at loss to understand how he ar
rived ut bis conclusions. l do not be-
lieve he made, or even attempted to
make the tests required by the United
States government to be made in boiler
and engine examinations, but on taking
cursory glance at the machine, pro-
ceeded to give his opinion off-hand.
am sorry to have to disagree with
this gentleman on his so-called expert
opinion, but it appears to me the engine
IS worth more than 800, or it isn't
worth go for the old junk that is in it.
That this engine is not the horrible
fake, failure and fzzle that some Of the
good people Of Nome would have IL ap-
pear, has been proven by the tests made
by myself and other engineers at the
times have mentioned. On those &C.
casions 250 pounds hydrostatic pressure
was applied, which anyone who is at
all familiar with steam boilers and the
