GOLD IN BRINY DEEP

Tho Nugget has received a letter from am earnest seeker after truth and gold who lives in Denver. He wants this paper to give him min ing report presumably for nothing, on the sand bars under Boring sea in front of the town. He has heard from two old prospoctors, one of whom was actually in Nome for nine long years, that there is a deposit of gold about a mile from the beach of great richness; that when the water is calm one may look down
 through about 17 feet of water and perceive the yellow metal waiting for the ingenious mechanic who can devise method of recovering it. Anybody wanting to enlighten this gent can get his name at this office.

DOES PROHIBITION
 MEAN LESS BUSINESS?
Editor Blehen, of the Seattle Times Former Wet Advocate Answers Above Question Golfers Weekly and Produces Figures to Prove Aions-PocsOnal Begging Reduced 800 Per Cent Startling Proofs

llct mc say right hero that there is .uot @ merchant In Seattle who was lin business iu 1915 who has not done la much better business In 1916.
 Can You Beat It.
 Prohibition. even in the limited form adopted by Che state of Wush- uetou. is au unqualified business success. The loss Co certain property owners. caused by Che reduction Of rentals and real estate values which were based on Che continued cxis- tcnce of tbc saloon, has injured uei- thcr Che city of Seattle nor the state of Washington. In fact there is another side Co the shield.
 Crime has been reduced almost ouc-half The money formerly pass
 ing over Che bars is almost entirely spent for better living. bcnofittiug every person it reaches. beginning with man. wife and children, and running thru an thc lines of trade and particularly thru thc middle size and smaller shops, and an of it staying at home and much ot it go- mr into savings deposits. With the raising of thc living standard comes a series Of other benefits. Efficiency m an lines of business has been greatly increased This begins in Che lumber and construction camps. where from thirty Co fifty per cent more work Is accomplished with Che same crews. It appears on thc docks. where a tull days labor Is had every Monday instead of practically mono, and fuI days labor is had Tues day instead of Che former hail. 10 Is visible n Che records of industrial accidents. now cut down Co less than half Che average of wet years It shows up In every business house in ule large cities in Che efficiency and coutcutmcut of clerks and workmcu.
 The sum total Of human happiness has been increased immcasurably When women and children have more and better food and clothes and thousands of men, formerly sent to iail as thc result of booze every ycar no longer get into scrapcs and crimes that cause mental and physical au- ruish Go themselves and an dopud- ing upon them. no one can dispute the fact that this Is becoming a better world for many.
 Out here iu Che state of Washing ton we arc pretty dry now. bu. we're going Co bc dricr. And che drlcr we get the better business wW bc-th1t has been proved u ms first great year More and better clothes and more and better food fo- Che wife and Hddics! More and better business for everybody, Fewer and fewer people In Che jaiIs or behind on their bills, Can you beat it?

Tho vets have two stock phrases vih which tbcy damn Che efforts Of every man who labors for prohibit uou. One is. "Ue's a man chat ucy- .r had drink; hc doesn't know people who do drink; he has mo way t1 know what hc is talking about DO
 Tho other is. "Hc is a hypocriJe; roboJy likes whisky any better than Ic does"
 Thus they condemn their enemies going and coming. ] speak oi this because ! particularly want Go cm- phasizc Che outcome of our cNpcri- meut iu Washington. Personally ! have never bccu a prohlbiuouist. ln- stead. ! have been a leader of che vets.
 NoV say Go you. mot as man who has never tasted liquor. but as a business man whose principal oc- equation it is Go observe and then writ. oi what he sees. that prohi- hiou doesn't have to bc discussed from tuc moral standpoint ot olL though any haItvit knows thore is uo excuse for tbe saloon. lt may be discussed from tbc standpoint Of business. ot commerce. ot bank clear mEs Let us. then. examine che busi- ness iUets.

ANCHORAGE
 IN DILEMMA
Congress and Railroad Commission Muddle Matters and Prevent
 Taxation

While other Alaska cities of even Hess population than Anchorage gro urging the Territorial legislature Co grant thcm more than half tho mon cy required Co maintain their pub- lie schools. Anchorage must ask the legislature Co ego thc whole hog SO for as her schools arc concerned. The following from Che Cordova Daily Times explains conditions as they exist m that city:
 Anchorage is probably Che most populous city m Alaska. Tho buiId- mgs which have been built since thc towusitc was established are probably worth a holr million dol- lars. The real estate Is probably worth three times that much
 And yet, thanks to Che law of cou- gross. which was passed ot Che be- hest of the railroad commission, the commission believes that nobody has che power to lay a tax which can Doc used for school purposes. so the commission. which is responsible for the existing sociological conditions, wants the territory of Alaska to sup- port Che Anchorage schools ot its sole expense
 Whom thc government laid ont Che townsItcs on Che line of thc new government road, it was anxious that Che commission should have an che police power in thc premises. So it arranged Co lct Che highest bidders i'm on che town lots. under lease which withheld title for five years. The law passed by congress on che recommendation Of thc commission makes assessments on tbc lot hold- CTS for fire protection, police pro- tcction and street improvements. but not for schools
 Two years ago Che railroad com- mission poutioucd thc governor for a school. The maximum amount al- lowed by Che Nelson law for a school building was SLO00. Tho sum be- ing inadequate Go erect any build- ing which would Doc of sufficient size. thc commission furnished S1- O0O for tho purpose. under the clause iu Che law which permits che urcsi- dent Co do anything u relation to che railroad which hc may think proper The Nelson fund paid for tho teachers. Tho following year a new building was needed and. uu- ablc Co get money from thc Nelson fund. che commission built at its expense S35.0OO school house and paid che teachers. 10 being Imnos- siblc for thc Nelson fund Go pay for Che corps ul teachers which had be- come necessary. che commission paid for the teachers.
 The commission thinks now that Che territorial Legislature should roc imhursc tbc commission and ape propriatc S20.o00 for Che school thia
