CORRESPONDENCE

Nome, Nov. 27, 1907. Editor Nome Nugget; In todays is- sue you have given again considerable space to the precipitations of dust which you and everyone else seem to think is volcanic ashes" In your last i issue you give the estimated amount of "volcanic ashes" fallen, which the writ er thinks Is correct as far as such es- mates can be obtained But at the con clusion of this article il is said As l one approached the place from which the ash originated the quantity would, of course, increase"
 Now. why has nobody approached the place from which the ash origin ated. If it has been precipitated one at Nome it should have raned boulders at Candle or Kotzcbue sound, or some body should have felt little shakeup when a whole mountain or mountains are discharged into space to precipi- tate dust of less than one 60-nch mesh for 100 miles Would it not be reas- enable to suppose the volcanic ashes to be "metcoric dust""
 It is believed that a ring of metcors rcNoNes around the sun; portions of it very thiclly studded with them. while at others they are only Sparsely scat tered Every year in November the carth's orbit cuts through the ring, though only at intervals of about 33 years through the parts where they are most crowded. The meteors them selves are of iron which striking the atmosphere of the approaching earth with planetary velocity. ignite and go to dust CEncyclopedia Brittanica) The writer tested this dust and found il to be almost pure iron. From five gallon oil can of snow the writer pre- ciptated IL ounces of dust. As meteor ties are generally associated with the iron. cobalt and nickel Cbesidcs silica) the writer has d test of those two in process now. Precious metals never found) Enclosed find test tube in which you can see the large quantity of iron prcciputated in ammonia, also a sample of dust which shows to the naked eye its iron. Mcteoritcs and me- teoric dust is not of such very rare oc- currcnce.
 The present phenomenon occurred under favorable circumstances, first having layer of snow underneath than being precipitated in very calm weather Third in exceptionally largo quantities There have not millions but billions. of tons of this mcteoric dust fallen Measure the distance from Nome to Candle How far out into Ber- ing sea it extended nobody can tell. From Council Nome to York at 6,OoOo tons to the square mile.
 Go out and gather up d pan full oi snow. melt it and dry the preciptate and in your hand you hold a messen- ger from another world, part of th' shiny orbs that twinkle above you. Yot have not only seen and felt. but actual Iv walked upon celestial body.
 Very respectfully.

CHARITABLE
 BUMPERS
SUNSET MINE DRAINED WHILE OWNER WAS THINKING THE
 MATTER OVER.

That the water had disappeared mys- teriously from his claim on Sunset creek after herculean attempts on his part had failed to get 1t out was the astonishing bit of Knowledge that came to A. J. Daily within the past few days.
 He and his associates had used two pumps to drain the ground before, but all their efforts had been fruitless. The water stayed and resisted every at tempt to get it out so that a halt was called until such time as the hard frost had an opportunity to decrease the flow.
 Early in the week one of the Daly borthers visited the ground and found the water had gone.
 After a time the solution of the mystery was arrived at.
 Sullivan and Berger had been pump ing on the Oakdale The water in their own property had been pumped out Everything seemed well, but at the beginning of the present week an other inundation came. Again the pumps went going and again the wa ter was conquered.
 That last volume was nothing but the inpouring from the Daily diggings.

Monday afternoon when the question
Of the legality of two members of

promptly rendered and clearly stated
and his charges to the jury are such
that the jury can readily understand
the law as it is expounded.

many lines and her farmers are not
the least behind the rest Of the po-
pulation in invention and sinitiativc.
A Kansas paper tells admirinely Of
one of the Sunflower States agricul-
turalists who combine the business Of
contracting advantageous marriages
for his four daughters and at the
same time enhancing the value Of
the broad acres which they grace.
That he stumbled upon his remark
able system quite by accident does
not detract from its worth in the
least, and his experience is recount
ed that it may convey a profitable
hint to other fathers Of girls who
grace farms and who are not avcrse
to contracting advantageous matri-
monial alliances.
Tt seems that the farmer whose
name was Daniel Kindred, had strug-
glcd manfully for many years to
rear his daughters in intelligence and
thrift, but when they had reached
the age which suggest flight from the
patcrnal roof they still fingered
wisfully, it is true; but persistcntly.
One day Kindred-whose very name
seemed hoodoo-sent an ADVERTISE
ment to a newspaper, stating that he
wanted farm hands, and an adii-
tional inducement specified that ev-
cry man that applied would have a
chance to WOO daughter, provided
and here was the critical clause
every claimant to daughter should
do something of a beneficial nature
to improve the farm.
The first man. who applied al the
Kindred farm for work and a. daugh-
ter was from the East, and claimed
to be a graduate from an agaicultur-
al college. He was retained, and af-
ter he had looked Hup6n the youngest
daughter and found her exceedingly
fair he began to speculate on the
farm improvement idea. Kindred
wanted him to begin at the other end
Of the line Of daughters, which is the
usual parental sentiment in a family
Of girls, but this he firmly declined
to do. Before he had been on the
farm week he had installed an ir-
rigation ditch and stone-inclosed fish
pond, which he stocked with bass and
pickeral. Kindred looked upon this
and saw that it was
good. The man got the daughter.
The second applicant piped water
from an artesian we'll into the house
and put in a porcelain bathtub. In
addition to this he cured a. disease
in some of the Kindred cattle and
won prize. The third man, was
;&eamy-eyed, but enthusiastic. AZ
ter choosing one of the remaining
daughters he started out zealouslS to
earn her. First he invented some sort
of lightning rod to be fixed to each
domestic animal, with spines along
the back and head and the ground
beside the hoofs. But Kin
dred was not impressed and said it
wouldn't do The inventor tried
again. This time he was successful.
He built a water wheel at the arte-
sian well, rugged mp an electric gen.
orator, which runs the churn, sew
ing and washing machines, lights the
house and barns and furnishes pow
er for saw mills, &c. He was reward
ed by Kindred in the promised way.
There is only one daughter remain
ing, which is regretted exceedingly
by Kindred, who had formerly con-

The Indebtedness OF the state should be
decreased while the State is prosperous.
BY am act of the last legislature pro-
vision was made for payment Of the out
standing Indebtedness Of the state That
act will insure the payment of the debt

eiOiiS are kept within reasonable bounds.
The current expenses must he kept with

to increase the public debt at this time.
Tn. constitution OF the state will not
permit the permanent school fund TO be
Invested In any other securities than reg
sstered county bonds OF this state, and
United States and state securities. The
field for investment OF this fund should be
enlarged. There are other forms of in
vestnlcnt equally as safe that would in
crease the interest return to the fund.
II il Were invested in municipal bonds,
school bonds. or in Nebraska mortgages,
the state would be benefited on account
OF the interest being paid at home.
The Ore-mii levy will reduce the float

OVu each year. \ large part OF this float
ing indebtedness has been taken Up by the
state treasurer for the benefit Of the per-
manent school fund. There will be, there
fore. about SsV0. pO0 of the permanent
school fund each year to be reinvested On
this account alone.
II is urgently recommended that this
legislature submit an amendment to the
constitution SO that the permanent school
fund will not remain idly in the hands Of
the treasurer when the state Indebtedness
Is paid ca. Times and conditions change.
Therefore it will be for the best interests
o. the state that this section OF the con-
Gtitution be amended so that future leSiS-
latureS may determine from time to time
what class of additional securities shall
be available for the investment of this
