from the sea and along the creeks.
The natural features of the Cape
Nome district are divided Into three
regions: The beach, tundra and mount
aims. Gold is found in each of these
formations. The beach of golden sands
stretches away comparatively straight
and smooth for miles, and the precious
metal found in this region undoubtedly
came originally from the mountains. It
was probably washed out Of the disin-
tegrated rocks and found Judgment in
the sands of the beach as the waters car

Along this beach the gold is quite

Of warfare that a conservative policy
would naturally have suggested. 1t w
known that the war office lar long stood
as the representative of all that was con-
sentative and Ut was felt that old-fashion-
ed methods were respons bile for the
army's reverses.
When the actual facts were received
from the front, however, it was found
that popular opinion had been mistaken
and that although the war office may
nave been old fashioned din the manage

tainly adopted many innovations since

CAPE MONIES
GOLDEN SANDS

The most remarkable gold field in the
world, IT not the most extensive tina
has been known in the history of gold
mining, is lying beneath its covering of
snow and Ice waiting for the miners
who will surely present themselves as
soon as the spring sun shall nave OPEN
ed the country to them. Already more
than three thousand men are on the
spot: Some of them were participants
in the brief harvest that made last
summer memorable, but most of them
arrived just before the winter SHOWS
made further mining impossible.
All along the northwest Pacific coast
thousands of other men are waiting,
and within the next few weeks another
army of gold seekers will arrive. The
probability that a steamer will sail for
Alaska before May LIST is extremely re-
mote. but the knowledge of this fact
eager to get to the land of promise.
Every day more of these pilgrims Of
fortune descend upon the ports Of the
Pacific and their determine
ton TO take the first steamer for the
new diggings.
Already there are enough men in
waiting to require a fleet for their
transportation. How they will all man.
age to reach the gold fields when the
season opens Is somewhat of a mys-
terry.
ANOTHER KLONDIKE.
OF course everyone remembers the rush
that followed the announcement that
gold had been found in the Klondike.
but there is every indication that the
descent upon Cape Nome next summer
will be three times as great. The one
thing that attracts the adventurous is,
of course, the gold, inc there can be no
question hat the Klondike in it's best
days never offered better inducements
In the Klondike the mining is car
risd on under most unfavorable. cir
c~umstances, while at Cape Nome the
bulk of the gold that was harvested
last summer was simply combed out Of
the sands of the beach. This. of course,
is the great i~nducement, but another
point that appeals to the minds of
those who are contemplating such a
trip is the ease with which the land of
Klondike was one that tried the
strongest hearts, and any were the
lives hat were lost along the long
trail but those who make the trip to
Cape Nome will have no such ~hardships
to endure.
The headquarters of the Cape Nome
territory is Anvil City-so-named from
the shape of the mountains above it
at the mouth of the Snake River, and
it Is one Of the most accessible mining
towns on earth. Ships fronN any part
of the earth may cone to its very doors
which will do ava with all the troubles
of transportation that ave made life
in the Kiondike region 30 unpleasant.

THE DISCOVERY

This was the condition of things in
the early part of July, 1899, when some
one of these stranded miners accident
ally discovered gold in the sand at his
feet. He whispered the word to a friend
or two who were in the same predica-
ment, and the news spread so swiftly
that within a few hours all the unem-
