MORE FREAK LEGISLATION.
The law passed by congress for
the relief of iudigeut persons in Al
aska is the last bit of freak legis
lation affecting the people of the
incorporated towns of Alaska. It pro
vides that five per cent, of all the
moneys collected by the clerks of the
district courts lu Alaska for licenses
and occupation taxes in the District
of Alaska, now paid by the said
clerks into the Alaska fund and to
the treasurer* of the incorporated
towns in Alaska shall be paid into
the Treasury of the United States an
there be held as a separate fund for
the relief of the indigent persons
other than Natives, In Alaska.
It also provides that said fund shall
be disbursed upon the recommenda
tion of the governor of Alaska to
such persons and in such manner as
he may direct: Provided that the
governor, in his annual report, shall
submit an itemized statement with
proper Touchers, of all expenditures
under this act
This in effect takes fixe percent of
the moneys collected from license ft-es
whuh have hitherto gone into the
municipal treasuries, and places it iu
a fund subject to the orders of the
governor.
Kow absurd the Whole thing is,
when viewed in its entirety. Every
attempt at legislation for Alaska
seems to be directed on the principle
that the people are incompeteut and
irresponsible. Hence the idea to
have the power of initiative removed
as far as possible from them.
Not content with bottling up our ri
?joorces, the genera; government now
says in effect that we may not use a
part of our municipal taxes without
the consent of au appointive governor
In the meantime, that mysterious ac
cumulation of gold in the United
Treasury, known as the Alaska fuuti.
will lose five per cent of its income.
This law will take over $400 a year
from the treasury of Skagway. If
some of our people need assistance,
it will devolve upon us to take care
of them, lest they starve to death,
while waiting for relief to come from
Washington.
A POPULAR CHORD.
Skagway ?coms to have struck a
popular chord in declaring for a t? st
stamp mill. Fairbanks lias built two.
and now Dawson and Nome, the two
oldest camps of importance in the
North, except Circle, are clamoring
(or the same thing.
Everywhere it is being recognized
that there is nothing that will so
stimulate the activity of prospecting
as the certain knowledge that the
prospector can get action immediately
on hia prospects.
The days of wild catting are over.
Everyone realizes this, and all honest
people are glad of it Therefore,
there is aa insistent demand for pos
itive results from the prospector, else
be will not go out and hunt for
ledges.
There has been more activity in
the environs of Skagway since the
sampling mill was assured than in. all
the previous years since the building
of the town. Nor have these efforts
been barren of results. Two very
recent finds are reported and are
CANDY firp]

now being opened up. Let the good
wxvk go on.
In the meantime, the business ar
rangements for the installing of the
mill are progressing as fast as pos
sible ? and this good work will go on
to completion.
THE SKAGWAY IDEA.
The N'ugget which has been call
ing the attention of the public to the
gfeat need of a custom stamp mill is
to be rewarded for its trouble and
pains, for the members of the Nome
Quartz Development Company will
hold a meeting on July 6 to organize
and perfect plans to secure a cus
toms mill to be Installed during the
coming summer. It Is expected that
the mill will arrive sometime in
August if arrangements can be per
fected at the meeting of the sub
scribers of the fund to develop the
quartz in this vicinity. ? Nome Nug
