 Deering, March 17.-kobuk natives make frequent trips to the lnmachuk and furnish the miners with the finest quality of whitefish in the world. Some of them weigh as high as B pounds.
 This has been a very favorable win ter for mining operations little snow, no storms and mild temperature. As consequence of these propitious conditions mine owners have done great development work and uncovered wonderful bodies of pay.
 When you find a paystreak ranging from 50 feet in width at one point on the river to 80 feet at a point several miles below you can depend that the 1nmachuk is winner, if not world beater. Development work this winter has demonstrated that this is sum mer as well as a winter camp.
 Fox Bros. X Shipsby have already taken out good dump. They drifted toward the river last week, and owing to the flow of water encountered they were compelled to desert that shaft. Next summer with little expense in turning the stream, they will work the unfrozen river bed. They are now drifting up stream.
 Buck & Dodson have moved their thawer from Nelson gulch to the upper Inmachuk. They are now sinking at a favorable point.
 Dearborn Bros. have moved their thawer to upper Pinnell, where they will crosscut the stream and do other prospecting in that region.
 The Badger boys are drawing coal from the Kugruk coal mine. They will lay in a stock of coal for the sum- mer and continue their operations without cessation.
 Ruhl Bros. are working like beavers, and us result of their labors splen- did pay dump can be seen on their property.
 Dashley X Co. have q force of men cross-cutting the lower end of their property to demonstrate the course of the pay at that point of the stream They were the first discoverers of the riches of the Inmachuk, and are now in possession of some of it's best prop erty.
 John DeBuhr is busy hoisting the yellow metal, mixed with little gravel He has several men employed. and is doing excellent work.

Cues. you state through the columns of THE NUGGET how to pro- ceed in stalking and claiming town site in Alaska? What book or books obtainable here give the government requirements in detail? c. $. H.
 Ans.-Space will not allow going into detail upon this subject: you should look mp the act of March 3, 1891 (26 stat, 1895, appendix No A., D. 221 re- lating to townsites in the District of Alaska. Section II of this act, covers the requirements as passed by congress. The following is taken from those regu- lations, as amended October ?, 1898 CT L. D. 56O): "All townsite entries in said territory are to be made by trustees, to be appointed by the secre- tary of the interior, according to the spirit and intent of section 23S7, United States revised statutes, which section provides that the entries of land for such purposes are to be made in trust for the several use and benefit of the occupants thereof, according to their re- spective interests, and at the minimum price, which in these cases shall be construed to mean $l p per acre. Whom the inhabitants of place and their occupations and requirements consti- ute more than a mere trading post, but are less than 100 in number, the townsite entry shall be restricted to 160 acres: but where the inhabitants are in number 100 and less than POO, the town site entry may embrace any area not exceeding 32O acres: and in cases where the inhabitants number more than 200 the tOwnsite entry may embrace any area not exceeding GAO acres" It will be observed that no more than GAO acres shall be embraced in one tOwnsite entry in said territory. The best books are those issued by the general land de- partment, showing the manner of pro- ceeding to obtain title to public lands, etc. l believe you can find copy in any attorneys office.

 Cues. Has gold been manufactured? In other words, will any chemical com bination not employing gold, produce gold K
 Ans.-No. Ever since the discovery of this metal, people have been trying to manufacture it from different com bnations, but up to the present time have not succeeded. Several parties have been able to fool the public for q while, and know of a case where banker in the state of California ad- vanced some Sl6,0O0 to a party who claimed to have discovered the Phil osopher's stone.' In this case. ike all the others, one party got the money, and the other the experience. Gold is an element. and therefore, has no com bination,. When gold can be manu- factured it will cease to be an element, the same as water. At one time water was called an element. but when they discovered they could manufacture water by uniting two atoms of hydro gen gas to one atom of oxygen gas, it ceased to be an element and became compound.
 Cues. Will you please tell me when voting by ballot was introduced into the United States? NJ. R.
 Ans.- Voting by ballot was intro duced long before the United States sprang into existence. In l632 Massa- chusetts founded representative gov ernment, and in 1884 introduced voting by ballot.
 Dues. Will you oblige the under signed by giving the origin of "Mil- lions for defence, but not one cent for tribute ?' A. SCHMIDT.
 Ans.-In l797 the treaty negotiated by Jay between the United States and England gave offense to France, and the friendly relations which the United States and France had been enjoying since the Revolutionary war, were in terrupted. This resulted in a war against American commerce, and Gerry, Marshall and PinCkuey were sent to France as special ehyoys to remOnstrate and negotiate q new treaty. The French Directory refused to treat with them until bribe had first been pre- sented. The demanding of bribe gave birth to this political proverb Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute,' and was originally used by Charles C. Pinchney, one of the special enyoys to France.
