MIR. HEARST'S AMBITION.

William R. Hearst, according to dis patch published in the last issue of THE NUGGET, is seeking the endorsement of William J. Bryan in his candidacy for the nomination for the presidency. Will Mr.. Hearst get it That is a question which probably has been settled ere this. The dispatch quoted stated that if Hearst could secure Bryan's support his nomination would standing two successive failures to capture the presidency, and the utter failure of his silver theories, is still powerful factor in national Democratic politics He has a large and loyal following, and he undoubt- edly could bring great deal of strength to any man whom he chose to support. While Col. Bryan cannot be charged with being an adept in the school of diplomacy, it is doubt ful if he can be inveigled into making an unqualified pledge to support the aspira- tons of any particular candidate. He has his prejudices and his predilections, but he is Democrat, who we think would put be- hind him few of his dislikes in order to see his party succeed, if such a contingency is possible. The Democratic party cannot hope to win with MT. Hearst as it's standard bearer, active, young, energetic, millionaire though he may be. In time he may become the chosen leader of his party, but that time is not yet

less blizzard and the deadly cold. Men dis appear on the winter trail, and perchance months and months roll by before their bleaching bones are found. Often they never find a sepulchre, other than that offered by the waste wilderness. The death rate on the trail during the few years that Seward peninsula has been exploited has been heavy one. Not winter passes that some poor fellow does not give up his life in the blizzard. And this going down to death will continue until trails are well staked and men take some thought for themselves before setting out on a winter journey.
 No man should travel alone on these Alaskan trails. We are forcibly reminded of this trite fact by the sad death of Gunder Smith, who, being alone on an unfrequented winter trail, met his death by accident and by reason of the cold. Had he had a com panion, perchance his life would have been saved.
 Men are too reckless of life and limb. Hardihood is not bravery. The man who takes thought for himself may be accounted selfish, but the charge will scarcely be laid at his door if he is about to start on an arctic journey.

WORK FOR THE FOOLKILLER.

For the past two or three weeks certain of the members who constitute the majority of the opera bouffe City Council of Nome have been taking counsel together to see how they can perpetuate themselves in office. Knowing full we'll that they cannot be reelected, and believing that the sum- mer season produces the juicest graft, they would like to continue in office for few months after the close of the regular term Therefore it is proposed that these worthies hold over until next November, when the regular annual election of councilmen, it is planned, shall take place. This would give the worthies, say, seven months longer in which to enact their opera bouffe parts at the expense of the city.
 But the proposition is scarce worth con- sideration Some of these unsavory fel- lows, no doubt, would like to keep them selves in office But we do not believe they can find or make or distort law enough to enable them to do so. They may as well make up their alleged minds to the cold, staring proposition that they are pretty soon going down to the little, black oblivion from which, for few brief months, they emerged.

GOLD OUTPUT LAST YEAR.

The gold output in Alaska fell off nearly S2,000,00O last year, for which the Nome gold fields are held responsible, the lack of rain being the contributing cause The gold output of Seward peninsula last year cer- tainly was not up to expectations formed in the early spring. The preceding winter was a severe one: there was an unusually heavy fall of snow and heavy glaciers ac- cumuated in many creeks. Mining opera tions were late in starting up for these req sons, and mining men generally predicted a decrease in the output last fall at the close of operations. which too. was somewhat early.
 THE NUGGET'S annual estimate of the gold production of Seward peninsula, last year, published on Oct :, was S4, ,OOS, ,OOO. It was stated at the time that the estimate was believed to be a liberal one. It was probably slightly below that amount
 The falling off in the production, while it is to be regretted, is no reflection upon the ldproducing capabilities of this sec tion. But the mining man has much to con- tend with in these high attitudes. He can not regulate the weather, nor can he over come many of the handicaps with which he is beset. The development of region such as this, therefore, must be necessarily slow. An early spring and late fall mean an in. creased gold output, and a late spring and an early fall will inevitably bring reduc- tion in the output of the yellow metal. These fluctuations will always be found, notwithstanding the improved methods of mining, which are rapidly being adopted, and the construction of many new ditch sys- tens, The gold is here-we know that and it will be taken out even if it takes a century to mine it.

HELP IT ALONG.

The Midwinter Carnival to be held on Friday and Saturday next at Golden Gate hall, deserves the hearty support of all the people. It is for the benefit of Holy Cross hospital than which there is no more de- serving institution in all Alaska. The work done by the hospital since it's inception, speaks for itself. The sick have been ten derly cared for: the rich and the poor alike; no sick person needing hospital care has ever been denied admittance The hospital needs funds in order to continue its good work. The various fraternal orders and clubs have united in an endeavOr to raise one thousand dollars for the hospital. The committee is working energetically, and we are sure their efforts will be crowned with success. An excellent program will be pro- vided, and all who attend the carnival will get the "worth of their money.'

If the mothers of Nome so elect, Nome can have one of the finest baby shows next Saturday afternoon at Golden Gate hall ever seen in any portion of the United States, or in all the world for that matter. THE NUGGET will back the Alaska babies as the brightest, healthest and best all around babies on earth And there's nc "hOt air" about this statement, either The babies themselves need no sponsors in this matter. If they cannot speak for them selves, their looks will.

SURVEYS NEEDED AT ONCE.

With the decision of the Alaska boundary commission, and settlement of the exact meaning of the treaty establishing the boun- diary line. the way is thoroughly cleared for the delimitation of the boundary in place, and this should be done without any further delay. The commission has merely settled the manner of proceeding to establish the boundary: the actual work of surveying and marking it remains to be done, and it should be done as promptly as possible, to the end that all possibilities of friction along the border may be completely eliminated, says the Seattle Post -Intelligencer.
 For example, at the head of Lynn canal the situation is one which requires the promptest action. There, merely for con- venience, and to avoid the certainty of a conflict of jurisdiction, a temporary bound ary line was acc epted between Canada and the United States, with all rights reserved to both sides. The boundary line so estab- lished is far within the limits of what is found by the boundary commission to be American territory. Canadian customs of ficials are established On American territory, and Canadian mounted police are enforcing Canadian mining laws in districts which be- long to the United States The possession of Canada is with the consent of the United States, and is justified under the modus vivendi; but it can be seen that there are possibilities of conflict present there, now that the decision has been had.
 The Americans living in the district, which now falls to the United States by un. questioned title, have not taken too kindly to conditions under the modus vivendi which has placed them temporarily under Canadian jurisdiction. The presence o1 Canadian customs officials within the limits of American territory has been a constant source of friction. Now that decision has been had, and it is made apparent that the temporary boundary line, accepted fol convenience, is wrong, some of the hot heads may make trouble, pending the for nal removal of the Canadian authorities te their own side of the border line.
 It is sincerely to be hoped that there vii be no such trouble, and that Americans liv ing in the district will wait patiently the final survey of the boundary in place. They should do so, content in the assurance thai their substantial rights are no longer in any danger, and that the control and possession of the country is secure to the United States Nevertheless, in view of all the facts and the conditions present, it would be the part of good judgment to have at least that DOT tion of the boundary line which is crossed by the various routes of travel to the Yukon surveyed and marked by monuments as rapidly as can possibly be done.

Is Handling a Heavy
Freight Traffic.

The w. & L. E. railroad is having to
handle an exceptionally heavy ton
mage of freight the last few days, and
there is little possibility that there will
be any decrease at any time during
the remainder Of the season, but great
chances for heavier traffic than was
taken care of last year Wednesday
night was the busiest night in the
yards that the men have had. and it
was somewhat unexpected so that the
yard shifters were in constant use the
entire night.
There were fifteen trains Of freight
hauled through this city up till 1
o'clock Wednesday night which is an
increase of about so per cent over the
usual amount for this time of year.
There is great need Of more engines
in the local yards, there being only
four at present.

EMBEZZLEMENT
Charged Against Joseph
Deems.

For the alleged emhazzlement of
$506.05 from the Dannemiller Grocery
company, with whom he had formerly
been employed, Joseph p. Deems was
arrested late Wednesday night by Con-
stable Burns at Uhrichsville and taken
to the county Jail here where he now
awaits a preliminary hearing before
Justice of the Peace Bowman. Deems
before his discontinuance with the gro-
Gerry company was employed as trav-
cling salesman, having the authority to
sell goods and at the same time col
lect money. 1t was in this way that
the alleged embezzlement was worked.
He was during the period of time as
travelling salesman bonded by the
United Fidelity anu Guarantee COM
pany to the sum of $4,000. Although
F. e. Figley, of the Dannemiller Gro
cery company is the afIiant in the rath-
CT sensational case it is learned that
the Fidelity company which carried his
bond is the main factor Of the prosecu-
ton through him.
