Verdon, S. D., December 15. From
Nome she went to Jesse Lee Home,
I'tiulaska, anil left thero last spring

Wine she was a member of the choir

The Nugget has received a letter
fiom an earnest seeker after truth
and gold who lives in Denver. lie
wants this paper to give him a min
ing report presumably, for nothing,
i"i the sand liars under Bering sea in
fiont of the town. He has heard from
two old prospectors, one of whom
w?s actually in Nome for nine long j
years, that there is a deposit of gold
about a mile from the beacli of great
ruhness; that when the water is
calm one may look down through
al out 17 feet of water and perceive
the yellow metal waiting for the in
gi mou.s mechanic who can devise a
n et hod of recovering it. Any body
w. nling to enlighten tills gent can
gi • his name at thie office.
Carl Selenius who has been working
W'lh John Swardo on the Raymond
claim back of the pumping plant fell
fifty feet down a shaft last evening
and lives to tell the tale. After sup
per he started to go down the shaft
to do some panning. He got into the
bowswiiln'a chair to descend when ow
ing to some failure to adjust the chair
p-operly he dropped to the bottom.
11e was hauled up and went to his
hr me in town and Dr. Chace was
called. On examination the doctor
let i nod that only one rib was broken
and an .abrarasion sustained from con
raot with the wall of the shaft. That
bis fall should have resulted in such
little damage is remarkable even if
there was snow at the bottom. He Ih
git ting along nicely.
Yesterday afternoon Judge O. D.
Cichran addressed the members of
Kogoyah Kozga and their friends
alout 50 or 60 ladles in all at the
< luh house on "he Legal Status of
Women in Alaska." It has been learn
ed from some of those present that
the Judge discussed the subject not
only exhaustively but made it ex
.namely interesting us well. Some of
his views as to changes that should
' be made in the laws received the
approbation of his audience and
elicited hearty applause. He thought
that a widow of an Alaskan who usual
ly has done as much and often more
than the husband towards acquiring
a competance should receive more than
a third of the estate when the hus
band dies He also paid his respects
to the law which enables a native
woman who marries a white man to
become a citizen. Judge Cochran was
warmly thanked for his address.
