Valuable Sands Shipped From Nome

R. A. Miller who has been for some time investigating certain mineral deposit on Burnside creek, in the Candle country, has d proposition which promises large develop ments in the near future says the Nome Nugget In spite of the fact that he was considered worse than foolish for wasting his time when practical miners could not get a color of gold by the most careful banning, Mir Miller continued to sink holes and send samples to the Outside, which gave him phenomenal returns The first sample sent Outside went very high, so he finally sent out twenty five pounds, and received for 1t S43 25. The next shipment was of one and one half tons which gave return Of B 29G.60 per ton. The deposit, which has been shown to be extensive by drilling, IS a telluride sand very similar to the telluride deposits of Nevada MT Miller expects to work the ground on large scale, and has a company known as the Alaska PlckWlck Company which he represents, and states that this company stands ready to com mence operations as soon as the larger ship ment which Mir Miller shipped out this fall on the COrdova has been mill-tested and found to be as rich or even anywhere near as rich, as the samples which already have been tested. When it is known that one man can by a crude process secure a ton of this sand per day it seems that Mir. MilIers mine, judging by his reports is fab ulously rich.

BRgTAINS GURKHA SOLDIERS
 ARE BRAVE FIGHTERS

LONDON, Oct 27-Gurkhas make up a large part of the forces from India now on French and Indian soil. Splendid serv- ice has been rendered to the British empire by Sikhs and Dogras Pathans and Rajputs, Jats and Baluchis, but the little brown men from Nepal seem to have captured the popular imagination in a way that has no parallel except, perhaps, in the case of the Sikhs.
 Aryan by descent and protesting by way of faith sort of purified Hinduism, still tinged by the Buddhism of earlier days, the Gurkha is a born fighting man-strong, sturdy brave to a fault, famous alike for his endurance, his dogged tenacity and his dash
 He has come out victorious from some of the hardest fighting India has known He has been loyal to the British for more than hundred years, and nothing will give him keener delight than to be fighting side by side with them in the greatest war that history has ever known.
 And these little brown men, with the bare and silent feet, and the courage that knows no check, are tremendous fighters Hardy mountaineers for the most part, in ured alike to heat and cold and wonder ful marksmen 1t would be difficult to choose better auxiharies in the task that now con fronts the allies. Moreover, they are a keenly intelligent race, and as tough as nails splendid in bayonet charge and terrible at close quarters.
 It is known by the testimony that has come from the front that the German soldiers have shrunk consistently from the contact with cold steel. If it comes to a hand to- hand contest, and the little Gurkha discards his rifle for the long, wide-bladed, keen edged kukri, the knife which may be described as his national weapon, they will crumple up like eggs,
 It is horrible weapon, the kukri; but then war is a terrible business at the best, and if the Germans and Gurkhas come to grips, there will be few Germans left to tell the tale of their encounter with the little brown men from the Nepalese hills.
 There are ten regiments of Gurkhas, each of two battalions, a total of 10000 meu. Of the first (King Georges Own) and the second King Edwards Own), the present king is colonel in chief. The Third regi- ment was constituted Queen Alexandra's Own six years ago.
 The first battalions of each of the first three regiments were raised as long ago as 1915, after the first phase of the Nepal war, and their history is largely the his tory of the British conquest of India Bhurt- pore, Aliwal, Sobraon Delhi, kabul, Kan dahar, the Afghan war, the Punjab iron tier, Chitral, Burma, Tirah-in all these great campaigns the Gurkhas earned their laurels They fought for the English in the mutiny and covered themselves with glory.
