LIKES THE NUGGET
The following commendatory letter
tuts been received from a faraway
■ in the Inmncliuk and Is considerably
j aj'predated by this otllce ns it indicates
MliHt llie Nugget’s efforts to furnish a
newsy and readable paper has not been
in vain. Thanks brother.
The Nugget's brilliant headdress Is
very attractive and improves the looks
of the paper greatly. Nome should be
| proud of possessing a publication tliat
keeps pare with the times: and the en
terprise of its proprietors in adding
new and progressive features proclaims
to the world that Nome is not a "has
been" but a live, progressive and up to
date city. A newspaper in its search
for news items is the first to gel inti
mation of u backward ami downward
trend of the business of a community
and in consequence reaches out to drag
in all the money it can, makes no im
provements in equipment, inaugurates
retrenchment in expenditures and gen
erally prepares to "gel from under."
Tile Nugget s course all along hits been
I lie reverse of this. Its every act pro
claims the proprietors' confidence in the
future of Nome and Seward Peninsula
Mach issue of its annual magazine is an
improvement on tlie one proceeding.
Optimism exhales from every issue ol
the dally, and its pel soul by outsiders,
us well as ourselves, cannot fail to im
press all with the great wealth in var
ious natural resources of Seward Pen
insula and the greatness of its future
activity, from a mining and business
standpoint, Such a paper is a great
credit and benefit to uny community
and deserves well of the citizens.

BIRDSEYE VIEW ®F NOME. THE FARTHEST NORTH AMERICAN CITY OF UNCl-E SAM ON BERING SEA.
&jL In order to convince the public of Xome that the statements of
the Nugget, as to the tourist question were not mere vaporing^, thai
W there would indeed he a serious attempt to divert to Alaska a portion
* of that vast army of sightseers who will visit the Pacific Slope during
M the coming summer, tlie Nugget has taken special pains to ascertain
wF with certainty the full extent of the movement and also to learn the
opinions of those best qualified to know as to its probable success
That the statements published at intervals in the Nugget are not idle
buncombe, that it is an absolute and irrefutable fact that u most
tremendous movement with a backing which practically assures its
success, has been started, and that, without a question of a doubt, a
vast number of sightseers will journey to the shores of Alaska during
Mm. the coming season, is attested by the following facts obtained by the
Nugget's Seattle correspondent under instructions t<> secure only
> such data as was absolutely reliable and such opinions as were worthv
of careful consideration.
The following are the results of the Nugget's investigations
The Alaska and Pacific Coast Steamship companies are both making
concerted efforts to increase the tourist trade, not only to Southeast
ern Alaska but to Seward Peninsula as well.
The Alaska Steamship Company has already announced that
the Victoria will make special excursion trips June ;?8. July 26, sailing
to Nome direct and returning via the inside passage and is offering
greatly reduced rates for the round trip.
The Senator will make no special trips but vvill offer special
inducements to those desiring to make the round trip to this section
Roth companies in addition to an extensive newspaper campaign
arc maintaining booths ami information bureaus at ili<* San I ran
cisco and San Diego Expositions.
All lines to Southeastern Alaska point- an preparing im
increase in summer travel, and are alreadv making arrangements o
handle it.
Mr. Harry Brandt, lieneral Agent of the Pacific < oa.-t Strain
ship Company, states that lie expects a great I > increased trattiv via
the inside passage, down the Yukon and outside \ ia Noun
Traffic Manager Zipf, of the White Pass, predict- mipreve ! -ill*
river travel during the summer.
E. C. McMikcn, acting San Francisco agent oi the \\ lute l'.t
wlro will be remembered as an old Nomeitc. slate- that the \\ lute
Pass promises through rate- via Nome, provided hi- cuiupanv can
make the desired arrangements with the new owner- oi the
Corwin.
The agents of all steamship companies handling \ia-ka trat't'w
assert that arrangements will be made wherein tourists will 1
enabled to stop in Nome from to 56 hours at least.
Everett Clark. Assistant Passenger Agent of tlu- Alaska St earn
ship Company -a) , with enthusiasm lhat it "look- like .1 ' annei
year for Nome and his company will cooperate with the Nugget in
boosting the tourist travel to Seward Peninsula.
Here is the evidence that sound, level-headed business men, men
who calculate both words and actions, are not only confident that the
Northland will he an immense attraction during the coming season
but are also showing their faith hv spending large sums in advertising
the attractions offered.
