that the first map folder or pamphlet

not only contains good map of the

several cuts OF views at Nome City and
on the beach where the method OF min
ing is clearly shown. All information

cautioned to go to the agents OF the n.

of the Alaska steamers, and arrange

rather than to put off this very impor.
