HAPPY NEW YEAR
As this is the last issue of The
Nome Nugget this year, we take
this opportunity of extending the
Season’s Greetings and best wish
es to one and all, for a Happy
and Prosperous New Year.
In looking back at the past
year’s achievements. Nomeites
can well feel proud of the ad
vancements made, not only in
our town, but throughout North
western Alaska, of which Nome
is the hub and distributing point.
If the past year, is any sort of
criterion at all, we may look for
ward to much increased business,
especially in the placer mining
fields of this district. As Nome
and Northwestern Alaska is
truly a mining country—a poor
season, usually caused by lack of
rains-—makes for poor business.
But now with hundreds of tons
of new and modem mining equip
ment, coming here on every boat;
during the season of navigation, j
much mining can be accomplish-1
ed with much less water than <
formerly used by the pick and
shovel method—which when us
ed ran on by the claim being |
operated, and was not conserved
an re-used over and over, as it i
is today, in the modern way.
Business men report an ex
cellent turnover, especially dur
ing the holiday season — with
more cash payments being made
than in former years. This speaks j
well for the community, and is a I
sign that most everyone enjoyed j
a good and profitable summer
and fall. We are blessed in this,
section because- are not troub
ed with strikes of any kind, very
i little suffering and sickness, and
| are not warring with nations. So
I there is nothing to distract our
minds in looking forward during
the coming year for greater
I peace, harmony and success.
ALASKA'S
LIQl'OR PROBLEM
The 1939 Legislature which
convenes in ten days, opening on
January 9 its going to have about
as many controversial issues be
fore it, as any Legislature which
I ever met in Alaska and heading
! the list will be liquor problem.
Reaction to the move of the
'last Legislature in turning liquor
control back to the Federal
courts has not met with favor,
judging from sentiment emanat
ing from throughout the Terri-'
torv. This sentiment is not nec-1
■essarily a criticism of court ad-j
ministration, but on the whole it j
appears to be a broad expression
that the problem of control has
not been adequately met under
such regulations.
A typical example of this;
sentiment can be found in thej
report of the grand jury when
it completed its deliberations;
here recently. The jurors re- [
commended to the Legislature
the setting up of Territorial liq-,
uor stores, emphasizing that the;
present system is inadequate and
is indirectly responsible for in
crease in crime. Emphasizing fur
ther the general attitude, was the
expression of Federal Judge
George F. Alexander, under
whose jurisdiction is the grant
ing of liquor license in First Div- i
ision. Commentng on the jury’s !
report, the Judge said:

“Something lhas to be done t
correct the existing situation 01
we will wake up one of these
1 mornings to find that Congress
‘ has passed prohibition law for A
aska which I do not believe any
’ of us wants.”
It is before the court that the
many criminal cases in Which
liquor plays an important pari
came, thus the sentiment of the
court coupled with that of the
grand jury should be somethine
for the lawmakers to weigh care
fully.
Territorial liquor stores, as
recommended by the jury, may
not be the answer, although the
jurors are to be commended for
making a definite recommenda
tion. Half a dozen or more plans
were proposed at the last Leg
islature. There probably will be
just as many, or more, this time.
The major point seems to be that
the present system is recognized
j by a great many people as a fail
' ure. Consequently, a remedy will
have to be found or, as Judge
I Alexander aptly put it, we’ll
| wake up one of these mornings
| to find that Congres has passed
i a prohibition law for Alaska,
! and most of us concede the
j "noble experiment” of pnohibi
| tion was a total flop.

THE MINER
—
The meals are slim the gold is too
But the poor old miner, he sticks
like glue.
From early in the morning until
late at night
He trudges away with all his
might.
But a 1! he finds is rocks and rocks
And a bigger hole comes in his
socks.
His pants are ragged, his shirt is
torn,
His feet stick out through his
shoes so worn.
■His hair is gray, his back is bent.
No gold, nor money, not even a
cent.
His b 1 Is pile up with no money
to pay.
But the poor old miner says.
"We'll strike 'er today.”
i
The days roll into months, but
still no gold in sight.
The miner never gives in. he still
thinks he might.
His hair gets a little grayer,
His back a little more bent.
His shirt a little more ragged,
In his shoes a larger vent.
The poor old miner needs some
praise.
When all else fails he sinks a
raise.
The long years through with no
gold in sight,
He keeps diggin’ away with all;
his might.
A mining man w'as coming in
with a lot of junk.
But it snowed so hard it snowed
him out.
This mining is surely the bunk.
When the miner thinks he’s got
the gold.
He always hits a rim,
But still he keeps on diggin’
He sure has got the vim,
He digs in one hole a month or
so, and if there’s no gold in
sight,
He doesn’t give up, but dige an
other hole a little to the
right.
