Of assessment work to hold their claims

Nome is ten days sail from Seattle.

takes eleven days. The fare from both

BIG PRICES PAID.
In a new gold district, such as Nome.
there have not as yet been many trans
actions in mining property from which
the general public can derive an idea
of value. There have been few, how
ever. Mr.. Lane, the California million
eire, of whom l spoke before, has the
credit of having paid the highest price
so far recorded. For No. 2 below on An
vii creek he paid the locator, a Norwe-
gia named Kjelman, the sum of $4,000
cash. He got bargain at that. as he
can take that amount out of his claim
every month. He also bought a half In

Next season there will be an influx of
from 5000 to $4,000 men into this field.

over a mass of papers referred to
them by the War Department.
No action will be taken upon any
applications for franchises until
the board has taken up the matter

and thorough examination Into the
merits of each case.
The members OF the board will
leave here in about ten DAYS start
ing direct for Havana. They are
likely to be away about three
months, six to eight weeks being
required for their Investigations
in Cuba. SO far, no reference has
been made to any Of the smaller
islands in and about Cuba and
Porto Rico, including the Isle of
Pines which have been almost
completely lost sight Of in the re-
cent trend of events.
Some of these islands are re-
garded as extremely prosperous
and healthy aud persons who have
inst returned from the Isle of
Pines speak of it in enthusiastic
terms. General Kennedy, the
head of the board of experts, pre-
diets that yellow fever will be
driven out of Cuba within five
years. He says it is now confined
almost exclusively to the large
cities and that, with municipal
improvements, there is reason to
believe the island will be ridden of
the yellow fever ravages, although
there might be few occasional
cases from time to time. Mean
time the yellow fever cases, he
says, are likely to be steadily
growing milder.
