ease. He was Frustrated most Of the time
FOR a period Of three weeks or more be-
fore his death Occasionally his strength

1855. His father, John NJ. Francis, held
three diplomatic mlssions-to Greece. 10
S Francis acted as secretary TO his father

founded by his father in 1851. After leav-
ing college he proceeded TO qualify himself
further for a journalistic career by becom-
ing a reporter on The Troy Times" Ad-
vancing step by step, he acquired q pro-
prietary interest in 1881 and became man
ager of that paper. on the death Of his
father in 1897, he succeeded 10 the editor
ship and sole ownership of the paper.
Though Mr. Francis had been actively

never held Office other than his diplomatic
position. He served eleven years on the

LEGISLATIVE COMEDY.

This is the open season for legisla- tive comedy. This is the time when the 'yap' with the gift of gab. se- lected by equally intelligent electors, drags into the halls of state some out landish morsel of proposed legislation which holds his commonwealth up to ridieule throughout the nation. Take a look at New Jersey
 A New Jersey physician has sug- .gested great social reform. He has denounced the wedding ring as a relic of barbarism It dates, he believes. to the time when women were slaves and had to wear a ring as a mark of that status. So he has presented his wife to-be with a set of books instead of ring. If this reform should become popular. just fancy how happy the girls would be when receiving from their husbands, instead of a barbarious diamond ring set of Ibsen.
 Another reform is also being sug- .gested. A womans club at Trenton is said to have written to the governor elect of New Jersey asking his support of bill they have prepared for tho legislature, providing that every mar ried man be compelled to wear a ring on one thumb to show that he has been welded
 The bill provides that every man in the state of New Jersey who is married wear what will be known as a thumb ring Married men. if the law goes into effect, will have to wear their rings at all times while outside their own homes and a penalty of two years in state prison and a fine of $500 Is provided for failure to live up to the provisions of the law.

TUNGSTEN AS AN AMERICAN
 PRODUCT.

Production of tungsten in America will soon reach value of a million dollars. It amounted in the past year to nearly $sOo.0oO, whereas, ten years ago there was but s1i,O worth mined in the entire United States.
 owing to a stronger demand, the price for tungsten ores was higher in 1910 than in 1909. and the production therefore rose. The output as calculat- ed from returns received directly from producers and mill men was the Iarg- est so far made in this country-1.S24 short tons, valued at $S32993 Pros pecting and development. which have been proceeding more or less steadily
 in an increasing ratio for the past seven or eight years. have found new deposits and opened known ones, so that there Is now a fairly ready re- spQnse to market demands The Boul- der county, Colorado field Is still the largest producing section, and the Atolia, California, field is second The ore mined in Boulder county is fer berite dron tungstate) The Atolia field is much smaller than the Boulder field, and gives a higher yield propor- tionate to area. Returns of l.221 short tons of ore carrying so per cent tung- sten trioxide have been made by Boul- der county buyers and producers.
 The production of 1910 is believed to be the largest annual output made by this or any other country to date. but the value Is less than that of the output for 19O7, which was 1 $40 short tons, valued at sS9O.OiS Very high prices prevailed during 19O7 and tung- sten at one time during that year reached price of s1l per unit q per cent of a ton in tungsten trioxide) During 1910 prices ranged from $65O to sS 30 per unit for ore carrying so per cent or more nf tungsten trioxide Leaner ores brought a lower price per unit. A little ore was sold a. high as $9 or more per unit to buyers having special needs.
 The tungsten mines nearest Montana| are around Loon lake, Washington, and the Treasure state has several times entertained some hopes that it had tungsten near the park

The supreme court has adjourned for the summer and it's members are taking a well earned vacation. These men work hard when in session. and many do not think pondering oyer cases and into law books hours at a time day in and day out separating the chaff from the wheat, the dross from the pure metal and the good from the bad, is hard work Yet there is far greater energy expended and more nerve tissue consumed than is required to keep the human machine going in ordinary hard manual labor.

OFFICIAL PAPER.
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 5, 1911.
OUR OLD FRIEND JOHN.

Our former citizen and city attorney. John Rustgard, has developed into a political power since shaking the dust of the tundra, and the sand of Nome's beach from his shoes.
 There has always been a hidden force in Mir. Rustgard that only a few were able to recognize. but its applica- tion in our midst always acted as a boomerang to this ambitious ~son giving him a set back instead of a sh- ing him forward as is usually the ,Lse.
 The writer having passed through one campaign in city politics in which MT. Rustgard was a prime mover real ize d he was a power and had ability as a politician to make good. In fact he rather put it all over the Nugget but that is another story and we can not hold if against him for everything is fair in love and politics
 Our first introduction to Mir Rust gard recalls a man working like beaver doing longshoreman's work Then we see him mushing over the tundra in search of the elusive gold trying to locate a mine Always doing work expected of man who was broad across the shoulders. and at that he had a high brow and n medi- um width between the eyes. He work ed pF nd tl q and entered the game of politics for it was in the blood. A man who never smoked, or indulgod in spirits fer menti. and the game of politics fur nished him with the excitement that many other men find in pipe. a "jolt or two from oyer bar or in a game Of chance
 After opening an office here in Nome and securing the i'll win Of Judge Moore for having the audacity to take exceptions to some of his rul- ings. he was forced to leave town through lack of clients for people realized defeat awaited every case he took into court After taking several cases to the upper courts to prove that he was right in the law, even if Judge Moore believed to the contrary, he left Nome to take up his profession al Juneau.
 In watching hls career since leaving Nome we find that the application Of his hidden power worked entirely diff ferent in that section of Alaska. He commenced to go ahead by leaps and bounds and We were rather startled when We heard he Was slated to re- lieye Alfred <. Moore as judge of the Second judicial division. But We were happy to learn that he was appointed United States attorney for the First judicial division. It would have been a serious mistake 10 have sent him to Nome with the feeling there was against him, not that we love John less but We like peace and harmony more.
 He has proven to be a factor and Is making success of 1t in the position of district attorney at Juneau, and he appears to have the confidence of the powers that be who are ready to ex- "nerate him from petty charges and

MAN NAMED ANGEL.
ELECTED TO FORCE
Happily Solves Problem by

pleting the list of thirty new men au-

caused the board no little trouble, as
both men ahead of him on the list
proved to be over the age limit.
Along with the rest of the new men
came r. ~. Conway, of Marshall Ward
who was uncertain as to his age and
was finally rejected. Then it turned
out that T. j.. Franklin, who was
elected to succeed him. could not prove
to the satisfaction Of the board that
lie was within the limit and he. too.
was passed up. Whatever else may be
wanting IN Angel to make a good po-
liccman. The board Is satisfied that he
is at least young enough. Franklin was
present at the meeting last night, ana
still protested that lie was eligible, but
the commission thought otherwise.
These two cases coming one after
the other led to the adoption of a rcso-
