ished plan for throwing open to the
public on certain days every week of

enty-seventh street was nearly
ready to put into effect.
The great marble and stone resi-
dence cost s7,O00,0O0 and was COM
pleted only about year ago after
eight years in building. 1t contains
art treasures of almost untold value.
The main art gallery is on the first
floor ana leading out from this are
smaller galleries, the sculpture hall
and the conservatory with its many
rare orchids. The music room and
the grand salon are on the same
floor
Mr.. Clark's plans are to give the
public view of the treasures which
he has gathered from almost. every
quarter of the globe. On just VIA,
days the galleries will be op,,ned 1.
the public has not yet been an.
nounced, but it is expected ccfore
long.

THE NUGGET IN SAFE
KEEPING

Some weeks ago great commo-
ton was raised over the loss of a
gold nugget valued at $42 by John
L. McGinn while he was stopping at
the Hotel Chitina, and the manage
ment was sharply criticised and
even charged with harboring crooks
to relieve guests of their valuables.
Many people jumped at conclusions
and everybody talked, but Messrs.
Palmer & Cloninger quietly set to
work to clear the matter up, and the
following excerpt from letter re-
ceived from Fairbanks, and written
by L. L. James to the Chitina Hotel
proprietors, is self-explanatory:
According to promise inter
viewed Capt. Donovan upon my ar
rival here and find that he has the
large nugget that was supposed to
have been stolen from Mr.. John L.

Tacoma. Dec. 27.-The much
talked of Alaska-Pacific Steamship
company and its affiliated Alaska
Coast company with the North Pa
cific Steamship company of Portland
his not been completed. This mer-
ger has caused more rumor and less
statement of fact than any recent
topic in Pacific coast shipping cir
cles, largely because of the active
personality of H F. Alexander, pres
ident of the Alaska-Pacific Steam
ship company, who started his ship
ping career less than l 5 years ago
as longshoreman on Tacoma
dock, and by grit and ability has
risen to leadership of one Of the
largest steamship lines on the coast.
1t seems certain that Alexander
has sought to negotiate deal with
G. P. Doe, president of the North
racine company, to consolidate tnelr
lines and interest English and Can
adam capital in building new steam
ships and extending the service of
the consolidated lines to South
America, and ultimately through the
Panama canal to the Atlantic coast
However, the recent conference of
Alexander and Doe at San Francisco,
with Capt. Frank Smith. formerly of
the Ward lines of New York, and
supposed to represent the English
capitalists interested, and Attorney
Richard SAKE Jones of the Alaska
Pacific interests, has. failed to COM
plete the merger, and it is at present
up in the air.
