-None, Alaska, is planning for

>t ates a promise oi pi'asperity iu
its commercial relations with Si
otriu uuder the influence oi a more

business is improving, work is
plentiful, and Siberian possibilites
of trade give assurances of true
urosperity.
Says 'i'ho Nugget:
"irrespective oi Alaska or any
o'her mining country iu the world,
not one gives the promise as a min

the great iiussiau domain, which is

trade relations witb, this country.
"iiere we .have a country nine
times as large the territory of
Alaska it our very doors which

cessation of hostilities in this mgh

mean much, for Nome."
The opening of Siberian, resources
to development and trade, under
a progressive and enlightened gov
ernment, will undoubtedly mean
much t« the nearest American city,
Nome. This outpost of civilization,
has endured much, we are reminded
by the Nugget, through many long,
hard winters, and the old-timers
who endured with it are there to
win, and they. 6'aall win. Nome ha9
earned the prosperity that Is sure
