MOST CURIOUS NUGGET
 EVER SEEN IN THE NORTH


 William Ferguson, at the Hotel Cain, has one of the most curious gold mug gets probably ever seen in Alaska It is in the shape of a small sourdough hotcake, about four inches across and quarter of an inch thick and valued at over $4OO.
 It belongs to Charles and Way Bow ker, who came recently to Juneau from the Koyukuk, and who are now resting up at the Tenakee hot springs. The nugget was taken from their claim two feet from bedrock in the gravel On reaching bedrock with a hole they did not even find a color, but drifted a couple of feet and came across the sol i'd slug of gold. They found several smaller nuggets.
 The big nugget, however, is extra finely grained and the edges are round and worn smooth as though subjected to considerable glacial action It looks as though it were melted from a furnace, and one cannot help won- dering how many other slugs of gold of varying sizes may have been smelt- ed by Nature at the same time and where they may be deposited at the present time. The Koyukuk seems to be the home of nuggets and pockets and possibly some day it may prove even as rich as the reports that caused the first stampede before the magic word Klondike made it's history.

THINK REPUBLICANS
 LOOK FOR DEFEAT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Democrat- ic leaders in the Senate and House who have remained here to spend the vacation rather than to make the trip back to their constituents agree that one of the reasons why the Republi- can National Committee did not call a special convention for next year was the belief that the Democrats will sweep the country next year in spite of anything the opposition can do, and that an overwhelming defeat just after a recognition of the party and the adoption of new platform would un- do all that special convention would do. These Democrats expect re-organ- ization steps on the part of Republi- cans to be taken after the next cleo tion.

I'VE Socialists believe the people

it as soon as they find out what il
is, Ralph Korngold, the Socialist Ly-

invariably as soon as an intelligent,
unprecedented persons understands So
eialism, he become a Socialist. And
If the Socialist program be put to one
hundred without labelling it, ninety
nine of them will accept it."
"All of the money the Socialist
party spends is for the education Of
the people," says Mr.. Korngold. "And
what is more the money comes direct
ly from the great body of the ma
TONS toilers."
Mr.. Korngold will speak tomorrow

Mrs. Jones have been visiting their
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Cunning

The Mr.. Cunningham referred to in

is a son of the late DIR. R. C. Cunning
ham, and was born at Verona. His
friends in the many changes that have
taken place had lost sight of him, but
are pleased to know that he has been
successful IN his adopted home in the
northwest. His old friends back in
Mississippi can hardly realize that he
has a married daughter. When he left
Mississippi he was but a mere boy, and
the flight of time has gone by I'M

family a continuation of the success
he has enjoyed in the past.
