 Ever since the magic year of IS97 goId has poured from the creeks and beaches of Alaska and been convert ed into money. reckoDed into millions. Hence the sight of gold either mint ed or mounted at once directs ones mind lo lhe land of the midnight sun
 What more appropriate then, than piece of nugget jewellery, either as a frame for the beautiful mastodou ivory, stained by the countless years it has endured, or nuggets joined in chain work by skilled artisan. A brooch or solitary nugget of curious natural shape Is a souvenir which tells the story of the mad rush to the kloudi6e,
 The fact that a purchase of nugget jewellery is in reality an investment in an article that cannot depCeciate seems to be dawuiug upon the wis itors to the NorblaDd and the sales are rapidly increasing in this line of goods.

James Allen, of the |. s. Forest Service, with headquarters at Peters burg, arrived up on hte Humboldt sa urday night and took apartments at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
 Mir. Allen, when seen by a Alaskan representative. said that yesterday he had made an examination of the burned district north of town, and he estimated that the fire had destroyed a tract about four miles to six miles long and one and a quarter miles wide; that the timber was of little consequence except for fuel purposes and the extent of the loss is some what exaggerated
 The fire, he said, was practically out when he left the scene yesterday, and he felt sure that the rain of last night would finish extinguishing it This is the first forest ire he has seen in two years. From here he will go down to Haines and look over the scene of the fire at thatplace

George A. Charleton Of the Porcu- pine Gold Mining company, went up to Skagway Wednesday and return ed with optimistic reports of the con- ditons in the windy town. The peo- pie up there are enthused over their test stamp mill and are going through with it.
 Mir. Charleton said meeting of the subscribers to the funds was held on Tuesday night Of this week at which time an organization was completed for building the mill. Charleton himself is quite enthused over the fact that the people up there are installing the mill as it will be of some benefit to the entire coun- try.
 There isn't doubt" he said ''but that the mill will result in greatly stimulating the efforts of the pros pectors. Skagway seems to have a sort of boom on the way. There is more mining talk than anything else and nearly everyone has a piece of rock in his pocket. "-Haines Pioneer Press.
