WHAT DOES ALASKA NEED?

What Alaska really needs i d question subject to a. many diner- ll.t answers as there are people in tA- territory every person at the -dtf- time deep down in his or her heart believes they have the proper panacea to cure all existing evils, and grant relief to Alaska's crying needs.
 The Nugget wishes il had both time and space to secure and print the va rious opinions of the citizens of Sew trd Peninsula alone. We would like to have them all on hand before pub lication of them commenced. then in d continued series run the same from day to day just to give the public a chance to see how many different opinions really existed in the minds of the people as L. the needs of Al aska

BIC BUSINESS.

Big business is a term of reprOach calculated to cast opprobrium upon every man who has the price or pair of theater tickets and two suits of clothes year. It is responsible for more crimes against the English Ian guage than a text book on. rhetoric
 Whenever d candidate for congress wants people to forget how he voted on the tariffff, he turns a three-inch stream of eloquence and added gram mar on big business and riddles it's Big business k supposed to control the prices of all commodities. rom seeding onions to senatorial vacan- cies, and as consequence it Is no longer admitted to our best homes.
 Many a man k throwing the hooks into big business in order to conceal the splints on driving horse from d near-sighted purchaser Big busi- ness is a favorite topic Of vituperative conversation with agents for land which never grew anything but sage brush and d prospectus in three col ors. We are always a little leary of the man who punctures the steel trust with one hand while trying to sell us a Cuban fruit farm on g down and sl month with the other. It is d peculiar fact that very frequently the man who is so mortified at the crimes of big business that he can't pay his barber bill will be found to

A diamond bit for ruck drilling Is quite an expensive article. says Gas. sleirs Magazine Us value. however. will undergo fluctuations. dependent upon the price of th, diamonds Per hap- $500 is a fair value for bit. The diamond used Is exceedingly hard harder than those usually used as jewcIry Their carat price is consid- crable. averaging. say. $so per carat The diamonds used will weigh rom one to two carats so that eight have value ranging from $4S0 to S9S0 on the average The loss of bit means many diamonds gone and may lead to difficulty with the hole.

The first step in this direction was the introduction uf the modern dr,dge the mammoth ditch and the custom quartz mill The next step will be the outlay of mil liens for properly handling the gold deposits With tn- introduction "f tn, many millions comes Corre- spending reduction of tbe dsiIy wage. a state We always hate to even think about. much less see put into actual practice But come it must and no matter how we may light to stay its inauguration it's introduction will as surely come as the sun will rise to greet the dawn Such workings and regulations belong to what can he classcd as the inevitable in the lives of both placer and quartz camps
 With the introduction of millions in capital. there will be one compensa- ton to the working man. and that will be steady employment the year round instead of from ninety to one hundred days. the present state Of affairs. The working man is better of with steady employment throughout the entire year at a less wage than for few months at slight advance
 The Nugget does not advocate a reduction in wages. for the working man is entitled Co every dollar he can get. and We hope conditions will hold up SO the present scale of wages can be maintained for some time to come. Yet here in Nome We must be pre- pared to see history repeat itself. the inevitable will come to lass and one and all should be prepared to witness the same when the time arrives shoul~ they happen to be casting their lot with the North

 The people of Nome want to he broad minded enough to accept with open arms those who will invest capi- tai here onaa a large scale, we better accept reduction in wages and have the camp made permanent one than 10 hold fast to the present scale of wages and be obliged to pack our trunks. roll up our blankets and join the thousands Of working men now tramping from place to place on the big outside looking for work that Is never of the steady kind to be found in d mining camp with a solid foun- dation.
