creeks. Probably 1,250 miners were em- ployed, all told. The cleanup on Candle creek and the Inmachuck river, in the Good Hope district last winter yielded s300,00O. This was made possible by the discovery of coal near by. The mines near Nome get their coal from Seattle, at cost of s15 ton in the sum- mer and $20 in winter.
 In the territorial wing of the United States government building, pile of gilt blocks IS feet high stands as evil dence of the wealth of Nome and the Seward peninsula. The blocks repre- sent $29, $50 900, the total output of gold from 1899 to and including 1904, the size of each block being exactly equivalent to that of the years output of gold. The biggest block, at the bottom of the pyramid, is 31 inches in diameter, and is equal in size to gold worth $6, 200 ,000, the output of Nome and the Seward penin- sula in 1904.
 The gilt blocks are wonderfully con- vincing to the visitor at the fair who knows nothing of Nome, but a gold brick, nearly as large as two building bricks, placed end to end, which contains s25,00O worth of gold that is purerthan the gold in s20 coin, is even stronger evidence to most people. The gold brick is the largest ever cast, being 12 inches long by four inches wide and five inches

Portland, Ore-"There will be big money taken out of Nome every year for 20 years. The output of gold ought to increase yearly"
 This is the way J. J. Underwood, of Nome, sizes up the situation in the far northland. MT. Underwood returned re- gently from Nome, and has charge of the exhibit made by the enterprising chamber of commerce of the Seward Peninsula metropolis, at the Lewis and Clark fair.
 Between last November and the first of June, the output of gold from the Nome district amounted to $2873, ,000," continued Mir. Underwood, "and it is likely that the output for the year 1905 will exceed that of any previous year The summer season, regularly of 100 days, has been shortened by some 30 days this year because of bad storms, but the unusual amount brought out during the winter, and the use of ex- pensive machinery on a number of claims this summer will bring the total above that of any previous year"
 Mir. Underwood talks Interestingly of the future of winter mining, which, he says, was carried on extensively for the first time last winter. and proved decid- edly practicable. Indeed, in some mines where a shaft of considerable depth has to be sunk in order to reach the pay

Folk won't Ride on a Pass.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Sept. g. Governor Folk and his military stan. who will leave Kansas City Saturday to attend the Portland exposition, will pay their own way. Governor Folk takes the position that, while the members of his stan are not state officers in the strictest meaning of the statute, yet they are so closely connected with the governor that to ride on passes would be placing the administration under ob. ligations to the railroads, which situa- tlon he desires to avoid. Since Gov ernor Folk has been in official life he has not used railroad pass even when be was outside of this state.

deep, and it weighs approximately 90 pounds.
 But if after these two evidences, one still doubts the richness of the Nome land, there is a large assortment of most convincing displays. The one of these which attracts the most interest is nugget of gold weighing 1S2 ounces and worth S3,276. It is the biggest nugget ever found anywhere, and was diseov- cred on No. bench claim on Anvil creek; by a miner Th0 Struck 1t with his shovel when digging a post hole. The nugget is displayed in small wire cage, and man who wears in his belt revolver of the size common to melo- dramas and wild west shows stands guard over 1t There is hole in the side of the cage, big enough for one to put his hand through. but not large enough to enable him to steal the nugget. Over the chunk of gold there is a legend which reads: You can lift the nugget. but don't take it away" As a matter of fact. it requires considerable muscle to lift $3,276 worth of gold. and most women find it too great for their strength. Johnnie" Lynch, the watchdog. says that nobody has tried to steal the mug get as yet, but that visitors who think they can pick of a chunk with their finger nails, or pry away a piece of it's yellow gold with a pen knife, are not uncommon. Besides the big nugget there are a number of smaller ones. and the cage contains all told about Ss.OOO worth of gold, all the property of the Pioneer Mining company.
 A less spectacular display, but one which is almost as interesting. consists of a number of boxes of pay dirt. with glass covers. The pay dirt shows no free gold. but the gold is there. and is attested by the legends. one of which reads. Pay dirt from Anvil creek. Average value. Sl-20 per bucket" Another box is la- beled. Pay dirt from Claim No. on Little creek. Output in six months. s250,000. J. c Brown. owner" A third box of the dirt bears a tag which says that 1t was taken from Moonlight creek, and Is worth one dollar A bucket.
 Mir. Underwood the Nome oommis- sioner. says that modern methods which require expensive machinery. are being adopted in the Nome region. with marvellous results. Where a Iaborer working for s3-50 a day and board. could shovel ten or 12 cubic yards of gravel in day. a hydraulic elevator can clean up 2,500 yards. Dredging machines ae- complish results almost as astonishing Both of these devices have been in. stalled in a number of cases. A starup mill with % stamps has been working for a year on Solomon river. and another is being erected on Glacier creek sir miles from Nome. while several hun dred quartz claims have been Ioeafsd And yet Nome ls stiIl the poor mans oouztry.

 the bank, by means of sledge, and when the steam is turned on the gravel is thawed out for three or four feet in all directions. WOrkmen shovel the gravel and dirt into large buckets, which are dumped near the mouth of the mine. Samples are taken frequently and the amount of gold Is ascertained, so that it is possible al any time 10 estimate the value of the dump where the pay dirt Is deposited. Tn the spring the dump is cleaned up. the gold being washed out by means of sluioe boxes. and this con- cludes the seasons work.
 On the claim last winter. the Portland Beach claim, owned by the Pioneer Min ing company. seven men and a cook cleaned up s421.1C0 w1rth Of gold in co days. The cost of operating the mine. including cost of labor and coal. during this period. was Ss.z55- This. of course. was the biggest cleanup. but on the claim adjoining. knoEn as Number 1. on Little creek.

streak, winter mining is more econom- ical, because there is less danger of the mine caving in or being flooded by water from melting snow. When the ground is frozen solid, it may be tunneled with comparative ease, and it is not neces- sary to board up the shaft. As timber is worth $40 thousand feet in Nome, this latter feature is one of no small i'm portance.
 Mir. Underwood talks interestingly of the way winter mining is carried on. Every mine is equipped with boiler, and hose which carries the steam to the mine. Attached to the end of the hose is a long piece of steel pipe. drawn to a point, and perforated with two holes short distance back of the point The steel pipe, or nozzle, is driven into

The present trouble is due to the fact
that twenty non-union men are en-
ploycd by the Empire Co., which is
connected with the American bridge
Go. at McKeesport, Pa. Because these
men were not discharged, members of
the International Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers through their president,
Frank NJ. Ryan, ordered strikes
throughout the county on every build
ing in which the American Bridge Co.
was in any way interested. This failed
to bring the American Bridge Co. to
terms, whereupon Ryan ordered strikes
against all Post and McCord contracts,
claiming that they were connected with
the American Bridge Co. and as a re-
suit every structural iron worker quit
work, thus tying up more than thirty
buildings in the course of construction
by Post and McCord, who deny any
connection with the American Bridge
Co.
{. The, strikers were ordered to return
to work and lay their grievances before
the board, but they declined to do so.
They were then read out of the arbi-
tration board and will no longer be
recognized by the employees as union.
Hereafter when they seek employment
they must do so under the open shop"
plan. - - ~
A general strike against the Build
ing Trades Employers association
would affect many cities. 1t would
throw 10000 iron workers out of EN-
ployrnent and indirectly more than 2oo,-
600 workers in either trades.
