argument in the Nome Drug Store

the big nugget displayed in the
window came from Eldorado
Creek, Klondyke; while Gus in
sisted it was from the Kobuk. Just
then “Wing-dam Johnson” fresh
from the Noxupaga, stepped in
and said: "That thur gold came
from the Kougarok, 1 can tell it
at a glance.” Wing-dam was cor
rect. Tolbert Scott corroborated
his statement. The highest grade
