had enough Of 1t: the latter are related
in Seattle and other coast cities by men
whom no one here knows whether they
We're ever there or whether they would
know anything about the situation If they
We're. Each steamer arriving from the
| north is loaded with passengers. and
the supposition is that if a single person
of any one lot should for a purpose tell
a story of wonderful riches above and
the balance of them should relate some
thing different the one-man story would
be sent over the land and the others con-
signed to the dust. Old Butte miners
who have recently returned from Nome
say the country is no good and that it
is the custom of certain persons living
at Nome to circulate strikes about this
time Of the year for the purpose Of keep
ing people there through the winter
and getting others to leave their homes
in the states to try their luck in Alaska
One of the last reports of rich strikes
comes from Victoria. 1t says:
The steamer Manauense arrived today
from Cape Nome. She had Sc passengers
from Cape Nome, ST. Michael and points
along the Yukon and from the kotzebue
and kuskokwim countries. News was
brought of rich fields on Candle creek
where miners are taxing out from lo
cents to $3.50 to the pan. The two men
rocked out p ounces in five hours. c. D.
Lane, who investigated the new find, on
his return home. said many were earning
from 5000 to $500 per day. There are
about 100 men in the Keewalik district
The Candle creek flows into the Kee-
walk.
The death by drowning of Dave Pat
terson discoverer of the Candle creek
diggings. is reported. He went out with
two Indians to board the schooner Bar
bara Nernster in kotzebue sound. and
the canoe capsized. The Indians were
saved.
Many miners came on the Manauense
from koyukuk. Five brought out $4,000
to Nome. The arrivals tell of a new find
made in August on Union gulch, where
10 cents to the pan is averaged. A So
ounce nugget was taken of Discovery.
The district will yield about $500 900 this
year. Three hundred will winter there.
From Glenn creek, near Rampant
news is given out Of the discovery Of
gravel paying from 1900 TO 300 to the
man per day. Arrivals from the Kau-
garook report that a buried forest of
redwood similar to the California trees
has been found at the mouth of Turner

IDLE LONG ENOUGH
Y. w. PIERSON WILL WORK THE
MINER NEAR WICKES.
IT HAS YIELDED BULLION
A Company of Englishmen Once Had
It Under bond For Half Million
Dollars-A Stamp Mill
Was Built.

N. w. Pierson left Wednesday for
Wickes jefferson county, for the purpose
of working the Miner mine on which he
has taken a lease. He was accom-
panied by three men who will clean up
the levels, preparatory to more extensive
operations.
The Miner is loca ted about mile and
half from Wickes and in years past
has been d heavy producer of gold and
silver. 1t is claimed that not less than
100000 has been taken from it. There
is stamp mill on the property that cost
close TO $2eo.000. At one time the mine
was bonded to an English company for
half a million dollars, but a hitch oc-
Cured between the owner and the
company and the latter threw UP the
sponge after it had gone to an enor-
nous expense in making improvements.
The al.es alton is made that the owner,
after giving the 100000 bond. insisted
upon an increase of the amount to
100000, which the company would not
stand. AS a consequence of the differ
ence the property has been idle pretty
much ever since.

STRIKE IN THE BIG OK.
It Is Alleged That the Ore Assays $l65
Per Ton

The Helena Record SAYS that a strike
Of rich ore was made last week in the
Big Ok mine in the Marysville district.
Ore assaying s165 ton has been en-
countered in the tunnel that is being
driven on the vein at a depth of 200 feet
from the surface. Samples were brought
to Helena Saturday by c. ]. Fulton.
manager Of the Big Ok Mining COM
pany.
1.-THE rich streak of ore measures eight
inches" said Mr.. Fulton to the Record
yesterday, while the entire vein is three
feet between walls. Eliminating the
rich ore, the last assays show an aver
age value of $23 ton in gold. silver and
lead for the entire vein.
The tunnel in which the rich ore has
been encountered is about 500 feet long
and has been driven on the vein for 100
feet of it's length and in ore of a milling
| grade for all of this distance. The rich
| ore has just recently come in. giving US
| the impression that we are now entering
a new ore shoot that, from all indica-
tons we Judge, will be a good one.
AN interesting feature in connection
with the recent development of the prop
erty," continued Mr.. Fulton. lis the
manner in which the copper values have
increased as progress has been made into
the mountain. Early in the summer ore
was found to carry from IL per cent to
per cent copper, while now our assays
show 81 per cent"
In explaining the conditions at the Big
! OK mine, Mr.. Fulton stated that the
company will be able to operate under
favorable and economic conditions, as it
is now opening the property through a
tunnel which will give from 200 to 400

Some Say the Reports Are False While
Others Say Different.

The regular fall crop Of reported strikes
Of rich diggngs in Alaska is now being
spread over the country, but the allega-
lions of the existence of many good
things in the frozen north are practically
sandwiched between assertions that they

SINBAD IN OPERATION.
Shut Down Was Of Short Duration
Sinking Will Be Resumed.

The Sinbad mine. located near the foot
hills a short distance north OF the en-
trance to Park canyon directly east Of
the city. Is again in operation after a
short shut down brought about by the
refusal of one owner of property near
by to make few minor concessions
relative to a bond held by those who are
working the Sinbad. When work was
suspended the shaft was down nearly
500 feet. but in only one place opened by
crosscuts from the bottom was the bed
rock struck. During the cessation Of
operati tons the water crawled up the
shaft quite a distance. but the pumps
were not permitted to drown. AS soon
as the water is out sinking will be re-
sumed and continued until depth Of
7CO feet in all has been attained. Then
the ground will be crosscut north ana
south with view to ascertaining the
character of the formation in the I'M
mediate vicinity of the shaft.
1t is the intention of the operators to
eventually go 1000 feet or deeper II the
prospects warrant such extensive deVel-
opment after the 1000-foot mark IS
reached.

Mr.. Fulton said that there was no water
in the mine and that the ventilation was
