Lenten Duties
By RUBY DOUGLAS


Eatons well marked brows were
drawn closely together in frown.
The letter he had just finished reading
did not please him. He re-
armed the delicately scented missive
10 its envelope and leaned back in his
chair.

repeated. And she signs herself that
way because the new minister always
uses that form, does she? Isn't it fas-

postscript. No, l cannot agree with
Georgiana. 1t has no fascination to
me, inasmuch as she has always signed
herself, Lovingly. George"
Eaton began TO pace the room. and

The second week before Easter
Georgiana said that she would not be

was a litany service every day; there

MANY PEOPLE ARE COMING.

News which THE NUGGET receives from the outside from private sources continues to point to the fact that the influx of people from the States to Alaska this spring will be even larger than last year. There is at least one reason for it. Not perhaps, that this section of Alaska is so much better known than it was two years, or even one year ago, but because of the fact that busi- ness and trade conditions in the United States are in an uncertain state Strikes have multiplied, wages have been reduced, the output of many manufactures has been curtailed, and so have the opportunities for both capital and labor. Hard times in old or well settled communities always produce feeling of uneaSineSS and unrest. It is then that the more active and aggressive turn their attention to new and less devel- oped countries, where they may find the op- portunities denied them at home
 A letter received recently from friend in one of the Pacific coast states is to the effect that more capital will this year seek Alaska, and especially this section, than ever before in it's history. Capital is com DNS"NoS, portunities for safe investment at the out side, have greatly diminished in the past two or three years, and because Alaska is looked upon as an extremely profitable sec tion for legitimate investments, not only in its great mineral deposits, but in business enterprises as well.
 The legitimate investment of capital in Seward peninsula mining industries is much to be desired. It will mean the opening up and development of vast areas of auriferous and other mineral deposits now completely untouched. This will create largely in creased demand for labor, not only in min ing, but in other lines of business as we'll It will be matter to be deeply regretted, however, if there should be a large influx of labor to this section this spring. The con- dtions and the present development of the country do not warrant it, and bitter disap- pointment and hardships would inevitably follow to many people. There will not, this year, so far as we can see, be any consider able demand for labor, which cannot be readily supplied by men already in the coun try, coupled with the number who invariably arrive with each recurring spring.

Like thief Overtaken in his track with stolen chattels on his back, the little Booster in a recent issue, attempted to justify it's hold-up of the city treasury to the amount of $500 for city printing. Passing over the personal abuse of the small copophraga tempted justification was a direct falsehood The attempted hold-up cannot be justified It was plain case of needing the money and seeking any devious end to obtain it, at the expense of the numerous holders of city warrants, who have been holding the city's paper for goods and merchandise sold or services rendered more than a year past THE NUGGET did not bid for the city print ing, as stated by the News. It was not asked to make bid bids were never called for, so far as THE NUGGET knows, from Of
 icial sources. So the printing that was done by this paper for 124 cents line, was awarded to the Booster at 35 cents. THE NUGGET said that the contract thus award ed was, and is, illegal, and the abuse and vaporings of the official booster cannot change the fact The only excuse that can be urged for the boosters course, is the one that we stated in a recent issue-it needs the money, like the Missouri hotel keeper who charged Bill Nye S16 for his bed and breakfast. But the Missouri boniface was manly enough to admit it, and therein lies big difference.

DEXTER'S SECOND PAYSTREAk.

According to Dexter creek correspOn- dence of THE NUGGET. published in the last issue, a second paystreak bids fair to be de- veloped on that famous creek. There is nothing strange in this. A second paystreak was found on the famous Eldorado creek in the klondike. It is at great depth, but it is there and the dirt is found in paying quantities. In some of the claims on the hills of Dexter two separate and distinct paystreaks have been found, and it is more than probable that the second paystreak of the creek proper will produce more gold than the first or more recent paystreak This only goes to show how very little is known of the extent of the gold deposits of Seward peninsula. The years to come will uncover these rich deposits. New and inn proved methods of mining and an abundance of water will wrest from the earth the gold en harvest which it contains.

YOU CAN HELP 1T ALONG.

THE NUGGETs Spring Cleanup edi- tion will do much to make the great mineral resources of this section known. The great est care is being taken to obtain absolutely accurate data concerning the different dis tricts It will, in fact, be the first real news paper mining edition ever published in Northwestern Alaska. It will be circulated largely and where it will do the most good at home and abroad. Millions of people will visit the St. Louis Worlds fair the coming summer. They will see Alaska's building and her exhibits, and they will want to know something about the great Nome goldtields THE NUGGET's spring cleanup edition will give them the desired information Every person who has any material interest what soever in this section of Alaska is interested in the success of this great mining edition And they can aid in it's success.
