WILL NOT INCREASE
THE APPROPRIATION
Board of Revenue Refuses
Request of Anti-Tubercu-
losis Association

The board of revenue, through its pres
ident, DR.. r. F. Lovelady, yesterday
again declined to make any increase III
the appropriation of $500 monthly paid to
the Anti-Tuberculosis association from
the general fund of the county. They
state that the board makes liberal dona-
ton to nearly every charitable institution
of the city and county, and that the
heavy drain on the treasury makes 1t
necessary to refuse further donations.
A few weeks ago a large committee ap-
peared before the board and urged an in
creased appropriation. Some of the most
prominent members of the association
made eloquent appeals for further aid
from the county TO carry on the work
of fighting the great white plague. The
board took the matter under advisement
and later notified the association that they
appreciated the need of the association
but that they could not, in justice to other
important needs of the county grant their
request.
A second appeal by letter was made,
which set forth the work the association
asked q reconsideration OF their request.
The board sent courteous reply stating
that they could not at the present time
make any increase in the present appro-
priation.

Nome Nugget, Sept i.

That a new tamp mill IS now actually crushing ore on this peninsula is fact that hardly man in Nome IS aware ot so quietly has the mill been erected and set in operation, although the circumstance is one which may mean tremendous things to ths peninsula The mill has been erect ed at York by the Grim, Randt and OBren people this summer, and Is now crushing out two tons of tin ore day, while the people are actually unaware that such q mighty step has been taken towards the opening of an industry which exists mo- where else in the United States. Mir. O'Brien himself is at York looking after the work He came in this spring but gave out no information as to his intentions, and it was only when people arrived from that neghborhood in the last few days that the story was related that the mill Is already in operation and that quartz tin is now be- ing produced
 In addition to working the tin the mill

|, is being used to test the values in tungsten, and 1t is said that if the tests prove up to their promise another great industry will be the result
 It is supposed that practically unlimited capital Is at the back of the men who are now operating the stamp mil, but this may be assumed rather than known as a fact, although there is every reason to believe that tin mining men of great wealth have their eyes now fixed on this peninsula, where it is hoped that the Unted States will at least be able to produce the stuff on its own territory.
 While the new stamp mill is progress ing so we'll the tin dredge is operating most successfully on Buck creek and the facts really are that while the people here have been forgetting that product of the peninsula the men who have pinned their faith in tin are really forging ahead to make this district one of the greatest on the continent The result of the milling is being watched with profound interest.
