the soil to be ~prospected lies but a few
feet below the surface. either on the
beach or back in the foothills.
There is but little non-producing
dirt to remove, as bed rock is found
five feet below the surface. Men who
have suffered with the gold fever for
fifty years aver that the inland mines
of this district are very similar in geo.
logical formation to the early placer
mines in California. During the mn
ing season at Nome almost all the OPP
erations were confined to beach dig
sings. This was due chiefly to the
accessibility to water and to the fact
that little was known of the interior
mining regions.
Two million dollars have been ex-
tracted from the beach already and no
estimate can be made Of what lies hid
den there. Prospectors have gone
over sixty miles Of this beach and say
that in every inch Of it there Is pre-
cious metal.
The beach for many miles is dotted
with mining claims. The particular
sand in which the gold Is found Is ruby
red in color and lies in strata from two
to nine inches in thickness.
Labor Is the greatest item OF ex-
pense, but this when taken in proper
ton to the net gains dwindles into
insignifcance. Perhaps one OF the
greatest advantages of these fields lies
in their accessibility. The greatest
difficulty Is manifested in the landing
OF both passengers and freight from
the vessels to the shore. The gold it.

be OF an exceptionally pure quality. 1t

and amalgamates perfectly on the

II none are found, places the location

The area allowed Is 500 feet In width
and the length depends on the geo.
graphical formation. The width may
vary from a hundred feet to half a
mile. The creek on the borders OF
which the claim is taken up generally
passes through the claim. What Is
known technically as the rim. or rims,
forms the boundaries on either end OF
the claim. Tie rim Is nothing else
but that place in the formation OF the
land where the hills forming the water
shed begin to rise. 1t is estimated by
the transportation companies that
there will be a hegira OF gold seekers,
numbering some 5000, to these new
gold fields within the next few months.

necessary to say that this prophecy has
not been fulfilled. on the contrary,
there are now half a dozen stock COM
panies where three years ago there was
but one, and, what Is equally remark
able nearly all Of them appear TO be

OF cities In which stock companies are

are towns which have for a number Of
years been regarded as poor three night

places that II Is foolish 20 give $3.50 for a
seat al an ordinary performance when
for 50 cents a better performance and
frequently a better chair al a more
comfortable theater may be had.
1t is not improbable that a certain
prominent manager with ample capital
az his back will shortly take a dip into
the stock company business. II he
should do so, It Is not unlikely that
he win start with four theaters In as
