Tom Sweeney pulled out for the Kougarok section last Tues day. He has considerable assess ment work on ground owned by himself and, his brother Pat. If the weather is favorable he intends to do extensive prospecting before returning. As other remote sec tions of the peninsula are being looked over by mining men with the purpose of development. it $ a safe inference to draw that the highly minera,ized Kougarok section, which has been retarded by natural causes for the small mining man, will ere long boom. by the application Of capital. The Kougarok has the gold, it takes money to get it out.

Nome friends of former fire chief James Haughey received letters from him on the last plane mail. The veteran fire fighter is back at his old home in Minnea- polls. He says he is having the time of his life, After arriving in Seattle he stayed ill that city for a month. He met hundreds of old time Nomeites, and was showered with hospitality from his numerous friends. He then went to Soap Lake where he took the ba tlhs at that famous resort for fifteen days. He arrived in Min neapolis about the middle of Sep tember. His homecoming after almost thirty years absence was marked by affectionate greetings from his relatives and many of his Sgfd SSiends, who are still in the harness. With the exception that there is more sunshine. he does not notice any appreciabIe change in the climate of Minnesota from that of Alaska. At the date of writing the thermometer stood at eight below. Since his arrival in Minneapolis he has had medical treatment at a local clinic and is now under their care. He has, he says, been to all kinds of doctors, including the dentist.
 The chief writes and says he wish es to be remembered to his many friends in Nome.
 With the Nugget job printing machines working early and late during the past few weeks, the work of getting out the official premium list booklet of the first annual fair. given by the North western Alaska Fair Association, was completed in time for the outgoing mails. All mails for the outlying sections will be loaded with booklets. The workmanship on the booklet is credit to the Nugget job department. Few peep le realize the painstaking care and skill required in such an accom- phshment, especially when we re- member that the work devolves upon the proprietor and his son. This is no protection talk, but it is well to mention these things.
 The booklet is replete with the most minute details of the fair program. The business men of Nome and the second division de- serve much credit for the gen erous advertising they have donat- ed, and the various soliciting and other committees are to be highly commended for their valuable and unselfish labor. Very much pre- liminary work has been done, but the issuance of this booklet is the button which sets in motion the machinery of the first annual fair, which the Nugget predicts will be success. Read it carefully from cover to cover, so you can intel ligently discuss every phase of the prizes

GROUND WATER
|SSTUD|ED! !!

The ground-water supply Of the
Mokelumne area, California, has
been under investigation since
1926 by the Geological Survey,

Lodi, the principal town in the
area, is said to be the Tokay

his Moscow relatives.
Many Russians, especially the
less privileged middle class people,
are frantically searching their
memory for a relative in Berlin
to write him and ask for parcels,
preferably for clothes.
Since it takes a lot Of time for
the ordinary citizen to fight his
way through all the formalities
and "red tape" connected with
the dispatch Of a parcel to the
Soviet Union, a number of Berlin
firms take care of the articles for
their customers.
According to the shop owners,
shoes, clothes and lingerie are the
most coveted things. The men
are craving for white collars and
while the women cry mainly for
silk stockings and other lingerie.

were it not for the treaty, he
would not recommend building
any 6-inch-gun cruisers. but since
the United States has been tied
to that pact, he recommended

The Leviathan departed without
a bit of mail Of English origin.
The British liner Olympic and the
