NOME, ALASKA, DEC 7, 19l5.
Although we of the L'tilted ts.alea
me more or less accustomed in look
upon Uie ultra saving individual wit.,
a species ol tolerant contempt, usually
designating him oy the title o 1 light
wad" or some other term of equally
op,,, odious inteiil, still, theie is sinau
uoudt tout the great majority ot us. at
■ east tliui portion ot' us which ate
termed the common people," secretly
admire the man who shuns the ways
t the spendthrift and keeps a tight
huid on his purse strings.
Witness the speedy condemnation
visited on the one who goes broke
through foolish or reckless spending
We may sympathize with him in a
degree but, ' serves him right for being
i fool," is usually the inner thought
winch will come to the surface when
discussing his condition after the "go
ing broke” process is completed.
That an expression of this, or kin
dred nature, will, unconscoiusly per
haps, creep into our conversation at
such times, is excellent evidence that
wo really disapprove of money spend
ing thut is not guided by reason and
nod Judgment.
We may not, of course, approve of
the other extreme of handling money,
neither may we hold any particulai
regard for the policy of money saving
that Is described as penurious, but, at
tlie same time there are mighty few
of us who do not at least respect the
irian who keeps a careful watch on the
manner in which he spends his shill
ing. The so-called “tight wad” may
be looked upon with mild contempt
but a still more scornful tinge is add
ed to our view of his opposite the
spendthrift.
We are designated as a nation of
spendthrifts; are supposed to have a
decided inclination toward the fast and
loose in money matters; are supposed
to view with admiration the one who
spends his money with a royal good i
will. This is the foreign view, at
leust. But, after all, it is really the
happy medium, the betwixt and be
tween, in the matter of money spend
ing that appeals to us ne most. It
Is neither close flstedness nor extra
vagance but that indeterminate middle
course In which the spender keeps well
within his means that really secures
our approval.
If there is an occasional variation
of our estimate, it usually inclines to
ward the side of thriftiness, for, as
much as we are given to applauding
the “sport" and the "good spender,"
we recognize In our heart of hearts
that the sport is downright foolish and
the good spender usually comes to
grief, sooner or later.
Wo may not live up to our inclina
tions in this respect—many of us do'
not and we have thus become known
as a nation of reckless spenders—but,
that it is good policy to exercise dis
cretion in the spending of money is
plainly recognized and to a certain
extent practiced by the average Araer
i< an.
Perhaps one of the plainest evidences
of our true inclination in this respect
is disclosed by the remarkable hold j
the quaint maxims of Harry Lauder,
lie of the rollicking voice and the ir
resistable humor, have secured in the
minds of the American people.

riiey have been published far und
.Vide and ale to be lieurd quoted on
>very side. In fact they have become
u a great degree a permanent fixture
n the minds of the people and are
v en becoming cry stained in the liter
ature of the land through quotation
nd refeience disclosing beyond doubt
hut they appeal, not alone for the
whimsical human contained in some of
item, but also because the public rec
.gnize and appreciate tlitir inherent
truth.
it is seldom that anything which
iocs not appeal to our personal in
iinaiions and de-ires is given more
than u nominal amount of recognition,
.enee the remarkable favor with which
he Lauder maxims have been received
nay be accepted as fair evidence that
hi-y are voicing a something which
inds a happy accord with the personal
• lews and inclinations of the people
f America.
Treat your yuise as you would your
. esl friend, says Lauder. View the
ekiess money spender as a criminal
: i nci shun his company, is one of his
norites. Dress neatly, nut lavishly,
e says . A bank pays a higher rate
jf interest than your back. Take your
niusements judiciously, he cautions,
uu will enjoy them better.
Don t throw away your crusts; eat
nt-m. They are us strengthening us
eef, is another by which the thrifty
Lauder swears, it is more exhilarating
,o feel money in your pocket than beer
a your stomach and, remember it only
ekes twenty shillings to make a
luutid and twelve pennies to make a
iiiing. Vou cun sleep belter after
, ,.urd day's work tiian after a day’s

.Item to the letter. They preach a
policy as fur opposed io the long ac
cepted estimate of American proclivi
oa as can well be imagined. They
ue hard and dilticult to follow, yet
we find them taken up with avidity
ay thousands of the very people who
are supposed to scorn such counsel,
further we find that they are being
repeated on every hand to an extent
that indicates that they will soon be
, come the maxims of the homo and
work shop. This indicates nothing
css than that they are largely ex
pressive of the inclination of the peo
ple; are in all reality, a serman which
awes its appeal to the, fact that it
meets exactly the views of its hearers.

Tile several turnips received a short
time ago from Senator Suizer of Sul
zer, Alaska, and displayed in our win -
dow. have attracted a great deal of
attention from strangers and old resi
dents in the town have v.alked blocks
to look at the display. The turnips
ire what is called "Petrouski turnips,"
anti weigh from two to six pounds.
They are thin skinned and absolutely
free of any fiber and as solid as any
turnips can he.—Ketchikan Miner.
A big deposit of antimony ore on
Wheaton river, south Yukon, will be
developed and the ore shipped to
Swansea, Wales, for treatment. The
deposits of antimony were discovered
seven or eight years ago but owing to
lack of transportation the mines have
remained undeveloped. The strong do
iln.and lor the metal due to the European
war, has maue the hnancing of a com
iuny to uevelop the property an easy

lution, on the V\ lute Pass & Yukon
railroad.
Recent advices from the outside are
' the effect that Kenneth Jackson, a
inner pioneer attorney u: ♦ionic, who
ater made a fortune milling In Ne
vada, is coming north once more. He
.till visit the Broad Pass country with
i view of making investments in that
i untry. Mr. Jackson was the law
artner of Senator Key Pittman in
he early days of the Seward Penin
sula camp.
Hamilton Alexander Watson, a tiulf
reed boy, aged 17, was instantly killed
by tlie accidental discharge of his ritle
1st week while Hunting near the Hawl
nlet cannery where he had been work
up lie was alone at the time, and
he cause of the tragedy will never
■c known, but it is believed that the
r.eech became Jammed and that the

Officers of the United States survey
steamer Explorer state that an un
usual shift in the curents of Cook in
let this summer resulted in sweeping
■ ut all of the ilsh traps at Blue Point,
oil the northern shote of the Kache
uiak bay. The water which was com
paratively quiet, now run like a mill
race, the tides setting in against the
here with great force.
tne Chichagof! mine is situated
■velve miles from the Cape Edward
i inierj, and is one of the best pay
ug mines for its size in AlusAu. it has
a mj live stamps working^and its
itpiit is one million dollars tier year,
was taken over six years ago from
. e Groff and twu natives, and now has
lie most up to date machinery. The
mpany lias recently built a power
j boat to run to Juneau and back.
The gasoline tishing schooner Mich
el Anderson, of Seattle, was destroy
u by tire recently while in Dixon en- j
nice. When the fire broke out the
i hauner was some distance from
.ore and the captain headed her fur
i Hose Spit, where the crew landed in
fety, after an unsucessful attempt
o lench the flames. The boat was
burned to the waters' edge.

The Rhudes-Hult quartz mine on
I led rock creek, Fairbanks district, has
•eon closed down after having been a
I big producer for more than four years.
: > is believed that considerable ore
et remains in the mine to be worked
| out The ore was very rich but It is
l doubtful if the return from the mine
! iias netted the operators a fortune as
'tile vein was small and necessitated an
mmense amount of dead work.
