ONE Reasons Why Irwin County Needs Re-
adjustment Of Its Lines and Division of It's
Territory so as to Place the County Sites at
the Centers Of Population and Railroad Centers.

FSTBecause the present county site is inaccessible to the
people every section of the county, except those living the village
of Iwnve and few farmers living north and east of that place.
SECONDBecause vast majority the citizens and taxpayers
the county will be the county sites of the counties
than they
THRDBecause large majority of the taxpayers of the county
only favor the proposed countless but determined
that the opportunity shall be lost whereby justice may be done
arranging the county lines and county sites that the court houses

FOURTH--Because the only opposition to the New Counties
from few court house who imagine they about lose
something's who of course have the sympathy of few good citizens
living contiguous to the court house.

MONIES MAMMOTH NUGGET
Biggest Lump of Yellow Metal
Ever Discovered-It Was
Found in a Post Hole

"HE biggest nugget of gold ever
found, so far as known, was
that discovered in the Nome
district of Alaska on No. :
bench claim ON Anvil creek. In stor
ing gold for the use of mankind nature
seems to have favored the Nome dis
trict especially and big nuggets are
common in that vicinity, but this par
ticular nugget is away beyond the
usual size. and a person attempting to
steal ii would not find 1t easy to carry
off. 1t could not be put in the vest
pocket, and to lift it with n hand re-
qulres considerable muscle. Its weight
is 1S2 ounces and Its value S3,2T6. The
big lump of gold was struck by a
miner who hit it with his shovel when
digging a post hole. The nugget, which
is the property of the Pioneer Mining
company, is displayed In the territorial
wing of the United States government
building at the Lewis and Clark ex-
position at Portland. 1t is part of the
exhibit made by the Nome chamber OF
commerce and Is in charge of ]. ]. Tn
derwood. An ingenious arrangement
was devised to permit of close inspec-
ton of the big golden lump. This and
some other nuggets, to the value alto
gether of $4,000, were put in a wire
cage so constructed that a person could
put his hand through and lift the mug
get, but could not pull it out. Over
the chunk of gold was placed a legend
reading, "You can lift the nugget. but
don't take it away" Lest some one
should attempt to take 1t away, despite
the warning, a man who wears a re.
volver In his belt stays in the cage.
He says that no one has yet tried to
steal it, but that visitors who think
that they can pick off q bit of gold
with a finger nail or penknife are not
uncommon.
The output of gold from the Nome
district from 1899 TO 1904 inclusive
was 500 5000. This is represented
In the exhibit at Portland by a pile Of
gilt blocks fifteen feet high. The size
Of each block is exactly equivalent to
the output of gold in the year it rep
resents. The biggest block is at the
bottom and is thirty-one inches In d.
ameter. 1t is equal In size to gold
worth S6.200,000, the output Of Nome
and the Seward peninsula in 1904

RAIL ROAD RATES CHIEF ISSUE
President Will Give Traffic Measure
First Place i'm His Message.

A Washington. d. c.. dispatch of
Oct. 9. says: President Roosevelt will
make railroad legislation the chief issue
in his message to Congress in Deem.
Der. He will not push tariff revision
with any insistence. s~ubordinating it to
the traffic measure. for the reason that
he believes it would be impossible to
get sufficient public opinion back of
two such important issues at the same
time. Enough conferences have been
held by President Roosevelt and other
influential advisers to make this reason
ably clear.
Since last year the Presidents views
on the railroad rate question have as
sumed much more definite shape, SO
that his friends will go into the contest
with a distinct knowledge of what is
desired. Nevertheless it is probable
that he will leave the boundary lines of
the desired legislation somewhat vague
in his message and other official docu.
ments.

TO Try Leasing Plan i'm Bullfrog

A Bullfrog dispatch Of Oct. 10 says:
The ews that the large companies in

throw open their claims to leasers has
resulted In much rejoicing. Thus far
the companies holding the most valu.
able claims have refused to lease, with
the result that the development of this
camp has been slow. Goldfeld became
a great camp through the activity Of
the ~leasers. and its biggest mining lodes
were discovered by following this
course. 1t Is believed that important
discoveries will soon follow the intro.
