Howdy, the undersigned hav- ing staked out this corner of the Nome Daily Nugget, hereby claim said corner every week for the purpose of digging out and exposing information of value to the miner and prospector of the Second Division. The name of this claim is ''The Crucible." Its dimensions and value per square inch shall be determined by the assayer in charge with the CO., operation and through the court esy of Geo. s.

 Now, I'm not a newspaper man. can move more dirt with a shov el than with typewriter. At the suggestion of MT. Maynard l am conducting a column wherein the activities of the Nome Office of the Territorial Department of Mines may be recorded. In this manner, those desiring to take advantage of the work offered by the Nome Office may be kept in- formed of it's progress.
 The primary function of this office is to be of help to the small miner and prospector in this division. To that end, any sugg- estions that any one may make, will be welcomed, and acted upon in so far as my instructions and the Territorial bank-roll al- low.
 To foster an interest in the de- velopment of lode mining in this division, assays of gold, silver and other minerals as well as the indentification of unknown min erals will be made free of charge to residents of Alaska. Prospects having sufficient value in sight to
 
 justify will be examined and re- ported upon to and for the bene- fit of the individual.
 The work is not to be confin- ed to lode mining or prospecting. The individual placer miner or prospector who has problems that this office may help solve is not only welcome but only taking advantage of the purpose for which the office was created.
 1t might be well at this time to emphasize the fact that the ser  vice is both free and confidential Heretofore, assays and examina- tions made free of charge were considered public property. Now, all of the information is the pro- perty of the individual and the Territorial Department of Mines. It is to be used by the depart ment for statistical purposes, only unless authorized for public use by express consent of the in- individual
 The assays, identifications, ex- aminations, reports, etc. will be made in the order in which they are received, and in the districts being examined.
 No assays or identiications will be made until after the arrival of the last steampship from Seat

particular conclusion, but somehow
their earnest debate reminds me that
every year or so I, too, feel called
upon to set everybody straight about
a matter which no one in the world,
it seems, can write on without sug-
gesting pretty appalling lack of
sense of humor, himself.
1t has frequently been noted that
you can hurl almost any insult in the
world at the average long-suffering
American and he will smile tolerantly,
but that if you accuse him of lacking
a sense of humor he Immediately will
grow fighting mad Yet it is my firm
conviction that sense of humor,
while it is one of the most delightful
of social assets, is also one of the
most overrated qualities in the world.
1t is usually thought of as a sign of
courage and gallantry, indicating that
its posSessor faces the terrors of ex-
istence with contemptuous boldness.
whereas the truth is that it is most
often a cowardly or callous evasion
far less frequently used to mock the
authors of cruelty and oppression than
it is TO evade, in timorous fashion.

OF them. 1t is essentially a self
/ scourging quality that turns upon its
possessor and makes him incapable of
action. 1t is a social opiate that
turns those inflicted with it into pleas
ant buffoons by destroying their ca
j pacity for indignation. If you begin
/ thinking that an evil is pretty funny
/ you won't get very disturbed about it.
even if you do believe you are being
a satirist. And, as the sage, Harold
j. Laski. says in The New Masses"
/ symposium, the most ironic indica-
tion OF what can happen to social
satire is that the bitterest of all So
clal satires, "Gullivers Travels" has
been transformed by the ages into a
fairy tale for children.
TO RETURN to the matter of
escapist entertainment. it is
curious to see what difficulties even
the cinema can have with the drama
of escape. Of hand you might think
that nothing could be better suited to
shut out the world of actuality than
that pleasant romantic tale of fab
ulouS Ruritania, The Prisoner of
Aenda." Yet even that engaging
story seems at least to have touched
