governor arrives he will clear up some
parts of his telegram which the inter-

instance what kind of commissioner

Mrs. Tom Lane died some weeks ago
very suddenly at her parents home in
San Jose. Neither she nor anyone else
had the least idea that she was out of
health till death came after about an
hours illness. 1t seems that she had
suffered from cancer on the lungs with
out knowing it. Mrs. Tom Lane be-
longed to one of tine leading families in
San Jose and her untimely end is deep
ly regretted on every hand.
There seems to be steady rise in
public confidence regarding Nome
properties. The proprietor OF one of
the leading mining journals here said
the other day to your correspondent.
1--WE are all beginning to know more
about the rating Of Nome properties,
and find on every hand a growing
faith in them. 1t may surprise you to
learn that tin discoveries in the Seward
peninsula have been theme of gener-
al interest and discussion. Nome men
will find it much more easy to talk tin
to investors henceforth."
The voluble Lena Walton has appeal
ed her case to Washington, ID. c., but
she is still in this city and breaks per-
iOdically into the press.
On every hand people who have the
interests of Nome at heart are regret
ting that the telegraph is now working
the reason being that hitherto everA
dispatch from Nome has told of moths
ing but official corruption and likei
scandals. The infamous city council o..
Nome has been exploited repeatedly,
both on it's own account and also as al
horrid example, used to point moral
and deter Rampant from incorporation.
All this has been telegraphed all over
the country to the great regret of
Alaskans wintering here.

A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE.

Unalaklik March 49, Editor MUG
GET: The finish of the war between
Japan and Russia, if Japan is victori-
Gus, will open Il large field for con-
lecture. Japan. with her recent naval
victories, has crippled the Russians
upon the sea, and the prestige of such
victories with patriotic nation, like
Japan. paves the way for greater mill
tary victories, THE NUGGET, in one
of its able editorials, showed the adj
vantage Il nation, though small, if we'll
equipped and patriotic. has over a
larger nation, If lacking those quail
ties: and it is conceded that Japan has
them, while the peasant OF Russia, just
emerging from serfdom, and without
the education that makes patriotism
possible, must fight from military ne
cessity.
Japan, emerging from her struggle
with Russia, victorious, will claim, and
justly so, equality with the powers of
the world, and as the dominant power
in the East will certainly want the
first place in the settling of the East
ern question. The Eastern question
means, putting aside all the verbiage
with which it is encumbered, what
power will have the largest slice of
China when she is dismembered. 1t
must be remembered that, notwith-
standing the gigantic strides made by
Japan since Commodore Perry in 1857
knocked open her door, she is still a
close relation to non-prOgressive China
and the same blood flows through the
veins Of both, and it needs but Ma
poleOn or Confucius to weld the two
empires into one gigantic Monaghan
military machine. AT rough esti-
mate the population of such an empire
would exceed 5OO,OOO,O 900 people, about
the same number as the combined pop
ulation of Europe and America.
Surprising the suppositon is
based upon more than possibility
that such an empire was formed and
the mind of China awakened, it would
need but spark and Napoleon to let
loose the Monaghan deluge that would
roll ever westward until the plains of
Europe were reached, and then it
would be question whether the Bible
or the Vedas of the Brahmans should
form the basis of religion.

Ques.-Since the return of the min
ers who stampeded to try and find the
famous midas" creek, in the koyu-
kuk district, mastodons have been the
main topic of the camp. AS every min
er has theory of his own upon the
subject, | wish you would please
answer the following through THE
NUGGET in order to establish harmony
up here. What is mastodon?
2.-Have they been found perfectly
preserved? 3.-How large an animal
is the mastodon? 4.-Are they covered
with hair or fur? Does the finding
of their remains prove this northern
country to have been tropical at one
time? Odd the glacial epoch kill
them off, or what was the cause of this
race of animals becoming extinct?
CANDLE CREEK.
Ans.-G.) Mastodon is class of ex-
tnct elephants, whose remains are
found in Europe, Asia and America.
2.-Yes. There is record of a masto-
don having been found in 1916, which
was so wonderfully preserved that in
the stomach were still young fir and
pine shoots and number of chewed
cones. 3.-Some of the early speci-
mems found stood thirteen feet high
and were some fifteen feet long, with
tusks eight feet long; but some of the
later discoveries are much larger.
An the majority of specimens found.
the mastodon is covered with yellowish
mingled with brown hairs four inches
long, with longer black bristles. 5.--Tt

CUES. wish you would settle the
following dispute, for we can not find
anything relating to the subject down
here. My partner who is from DaW-
son, claims that Canada is as large as
the United States in the number of
square miles of territory, outside of the
country gained by the Spanish war.
| claim that the United States would
make two countries the size of Canada.
Which is right?
PARTNERS ON SOLOMON.
Ans.-Your partner comes nearer to
being right. The area of the United
States, minus the islands acquired dur
ing the Spanish war, is 1862, 125 square
miles. Canada contains 1868, GAG
square miles. This makes the United
States 80, l79 square miles larger than
Canada. The population of the United
States is about fifteen times greater
than that of Canada.

Ques.-Will you please tell me if
Thomas Paine, the author of The Age
of Reason was an American, and how
he came to be imprisoned in France?
l.. NJ. READER.
Ans. Thomas Paine was born in
Norfolk, England, Jan. %, 1877. In
l774 he sailed for America. and during
the Revolutionary war served as pri-
vate. He was given the position as
secretary of the committee of foreign
affairs by congress, which he held until
1873. In 1857 he returned to England,
and in l79l-2 published his flights of
Man" and the famous reply to Burke's
"Refections Upon the French Revolu-
ton This work caused much trou-
bic, and he fled to Paris, where he was
elected to the national convention
which tried Louis XVI. Favoring the
king he offended Robespierre, and was
imprisoned, where he remained eleven
months. Paine returned to America
in 1902, and died in New York on June
8, 1909.

Man, one of the sort whom a young
man can admi.c and understand. He is
grit and sympathy. He is a figure to ap-
preciate.
Old party lines are not as we'll defined
as they have been in the past. New is
sues nave arisen, and those who for the
hrst tim cast their votes for President
will not cast it as Democrats or Repub-
leans because they must vote as their
fathers voted. Information is more gen
eral than it was a quarter of a century
ago, and the young man thinks for him
self, because he knows enough to do so.
He, If he be not absolutely ignorant,
keeps step with the march of circum-
stances. He will not cast his vote ac-
cording to a legend.
1t is because Of this, because of the
amazing difference in the personality of
the candidates, that the young men will
inevitably incline to Roosevelt. With all
regard for the eminent responsibility of
MIR. Parker he must be looked upon as
having about the same degree of mag
netism as the ordinary fish, no doubt Il
useful product, but incorporating in Il
personal way. For the man who likes a
manly man, as young men do, there is no
comparison between the candidates.
Roosevelt will get the young mems votes.

THE BUSINESS MEMS VOTE.
Reasons Why 1t Should BE Diver to
Republican Candidates.

In the presidential elections of 1896
and 1900 the business mcn of the coun-
try exercised more decisive influence than
III any other two national elections in our
history. They voted in greater numbers
than ever before, and their vote was al
most solid in favor of sound money. pro-
lection of home markets, and the extern
sion of foreign trade. 1t is hardly too
much to say that the conservative bust
ness vote of the country turned the scale
i'll 1896 and 1900. For this the business
men may we'll congratulate themselves
and enjoy he consciousness of having
done their duty and rendered great SER
vice to the country.
But how about the coming election:
The money question in its various phases
OF the gold standard, the currency and
the national banks is still threatened by
one wing of the Democratic party, while
the protection of home markets and the
opening of foreign ones is as important
as ever. The Democratic platform is 81
lent on the money question. Judge Par
ker says the gold standard is ''irrevoca-
bly, fixed" but the Democratic party has
not said so. That party has been wrong
on every phase of the financial question
from the Civil War to the present time.
Can it be trusted now?
Speaker Cannon, in his notification
speech to Mr.. Roosevelt, said that if
Judge Parker's vote and support OF his
party's candidate in 1896 and 1900 had
been decisive, eve would now have the
silver standard" There is something for
business men to think about. Judge Par
ker claims to have rcpentcd and the par
ty promises reform. Can they be trust
ed?
The question of protecting home mar
kets and extending foreign markets is
one of vital Importance to business men.
From a business point of view it is a
question of life or death. The Demo
cratic party favors n tariff policy that
would be fatal to both home and foreign
markets. 1t is M more worthy of the
support of business men now thar it was
in 1896 or in 1900.

Roosevelt and Union Veterans.

In 1883 Theodore Roosevelt, as Civil
Service Commissioner, devised the plan
by which veterans Of the war for the
Union who had been dismissed from the
public service with good records could
be reinstated. A great many veterans
had been discharged without cause dur
ing the previous Democratic administra-
ton. Under the rule devised and estab-
lished by Mr.. Roosevelt hundreds Of
them were reinstated in the public ser.
vice during Mr.. McKinley's administra-
ton. AS that was moro than ten years
before Mr.. Roosevelt was nominated for
Vice President his action could not be
attributed to political motives. 1t was
due to his regard for the veterans and to
a desire to remedy Democratic injustice.
