The Nome nugget. (Nome, Alaska) 1901-1904, 1904-04-27

Ques.-Will you please tell me
through THE NUGGET what zinc
blende is and all about it, so one can
recognize it when he comes across the
same? DEXTER CREEK.
Ans.-Iinc-b lende, also known as
zinc-sulphide and 'black- jack" crys-
tallizes in the form of octahedrons and
dodecahedrons, and has perfect cleav-
age. 1t is sometimes found massive,
also in fibrous state. Color, wax yell
low, prownish yellow to black, some
times green. red and white. Luster,
resinOus or waxy, and brilliant on a
cleavage face. Transparent to trans
lucent, and is quite brittle. Will give
on porcelain dish a streak which varies
from white to reddish brown. Some
specimens become electric with fric-
ton and give off a yellow light when
rubbed with feather. Contains 81
per cent of zinc and 33 of sulphur
Contains frequently iron sulphde,
when dark colored.
.Zinc-blende is characterized by it's
lustre, cleavage, and its being nearly
infusible. Some dark varieties look a
little like tin ore. but their cleavage
and being softer than tin will distin-
guiSh them. Some of the clear red
crystals resemble garnets, but are dis
tinguished by the same characters and
also by their difficult fusibility. Zinc
blende is found in rocks of al, ages as
ISOLATED generally with ores of lead
and often with copper, iron, tin and
silver ores. This is the most useful
ore of zinc, and all the zinc used in the
United States is reduced from zinc
blende.
The Nome nugget. (Nome, Alaska) 1901-1904, 1904-04-27

Ques.-Can you find any record of
where women white wOmen) were sold
by the colonies? READER
Ans.-The history of the United
States contains many records of the
fact that white women were sold as
wives, but not as slaves. AS far back
as 1920 we have record of GO young
women sent to Virginia as wives, who
were bought at from 100 to $50 pounds
OF tobacco each, tobacco at the time
being worth three shillings pound.
1t used to be the fashion to ship load
of women to new settlements. Seattle,
| believe, had the pleasure of receiving
full cargo during the early days Of
the city.
Ques.-Will you please settle the
following bet: The undersigned bets
that the first steamer or vessel navi-
gated by steam was built by Robert
Fulton and had run on the Hudson.
My partner bets that the first steamer
was built long before that, but was
built in the United States by another
party. Which is right? p. SMITH.
Ans.-YOur partner is right. The
first vessel navigsted by steam was
built by John Fitch, of Philadelphia,
and made its first run on the Goth of
July, 1856. Robert Fulton built the
first steamer to ply on the Hudson. 1t
was called the Clermont. This steamer
made her first run sometime during the
year 1907, about q years after the run
made by Fitch.
Dues. indy inform me through
The NUGGET il the Commissioner has
the power to grant a license to ply a
ferry across river and refuse other
applicants who are DESTROYS of securing
one, although they have complied with
all necessary forms. Can the Commits
sioner grant monopoly in this matter?
A. NJ, SOLOMON.
Ans.|CommissOne Reed of Nome
precinct, has held that an exclusive
license cannot be granted to operate
ferry on river or navigable stream,
but he also holds that an exclusive
license can be granted covering GER
tain portion OF the river, the distance
to be covered, to be specified, we be-
lieve, in the license.

Ques.-Will you please let me know
to what race the Eskimo belong?
There seems to be some doubt about it
among the miners here on the creek.

lea (both North and South are classed
