ARE TO THE FRONT
One Hundred Pans Yield $IO.2O, But It is Not Known How Extensive the Deposit May Be-A Rush to the New Find.

A strike is reported on Kotzebue sound beach, just west ot the Keewalik rlver, and there has been stampede i from the Good Hope section to that point.
 News Of the find was brought to Nome Saturday by number of men who arrived on the schooner Nellie C. Thurston. The 1hurston's crew ds. serted and struck out for the keewalik beach, with the exception of the cook. Capt. Nicholson, however, brought his ship into port in good shape.
 Among the Thurston's passengers were D. J. Wynkoop. formerly deputy recorder of Fair Haven district, and W. N. Armstrong, who represents Dr. Cabell Whitehead in tha' section. Mr. Wynkoop showed NUGGET man 5lO.2O in gold, which was taken from the beach near the mouth of the Keewalik. It was the product of 100 pans. To be exact. the gold was washed from the mouth of Alder creek, which comes into KOtZcbue west of the Keewalik.
 Mir. WynkOOp says. however, that there is no reason for stampede. Be- fore men can get there and begin work it will be freezing, and the trip would be fruitlesS. Moreover it is not known how extensive the beach deposits are.

 Tn the Fair Haven district, on kOtzebue sound, Old Glory creek, dis covered by Missouri Bill and w. H..

This is fair, if ifnothing big. The season is as far ad- vanced as on this side of the range.
 American creek, which flows into Old Glory at discovery claim, has also very fair dirt. It is also reported, in very late letters from there. that claims on Perry and Imnachuk creeks will also enter the pay roll group.
 "The U. $. Mercantile Co. of Nome is running two schooners to the outfit ting station on the sound.

50 PER CENT LAYS
Tho Roason Thot There Have BAen Fa1ewnss This Xsar--Laymen Can't Afford 10 Pay Half - A Coaaa(1y That Mil Come to the Front.

c. A. Carpenter arrived in Nome e Hast Sunday from Spooner, the record- ing station of the kusatriem district. In reply to an inquiry concerning the output of the creeks in his. neighbor- hood, he had the following to say:
 '"Garfield cpeek, in the Kusatriem district, has been disappointment to many of the owners and laymen. The work so far done in the line, of develop ment has been very crude and unsatis- factory. The trouble lies in the fact that the paystreak is not sufficiently rich or extensive enough to justify the laymen in paying the owners a 50 per cent royalty, as was the custom upon the richer, creeks in the Klondike dis &rict. The owners have an eXagger- ated estimate of the,true value of the creeks paystreak, and are not willing to allow the laymen more liberal lease to overcome the necessarily big expenses incurred in opening up the claim. The result was obvious to the ,sourdough. .prospector and mining .ex- pert. The laymen could not make any money on the half basis, and so the claims upon the end of.the. creek in the vicinity of Larsen's discovery are be- ..nenipg deserted. The best part of the creek, situated a lew claims abnve arrs below Blotchers discovery, is being worked with more or less satisfactory results by the owners. In the list of producers, No. , below easily stands first. This year's work will bring the Garfield owners to their senses, and will have the good effect of bringngi yalues.down to q correct estimate.
 ''The practice of booming cpeek on lhearsay prospecting evidence, in the hope of gullimg laymen, has necessarily given this, creek a black eye md dis .couraged owners of small resources. But there is light ahead. and this creek ayiu be placed on d better paying basis at the end of next season 5 operations. The owners will have to adopt a give and-tal1e policy, which provides for the encouragement Of the l4ymen, ahu not the reverse, as now obtains.
 ''Boulder creek, which empties into Turner creek, has surprised the na- tives. Last year the surface prospects offered d.encouragement to -sEe Aymen, but che pay lately found on bedrock 1rae upset .all calaulations. Over . d0eeu claauss above .loxsr, discovery are snO~ raisdas. good. producers, and there Is onite G. Anfry sm0p6 miners to .Ob- tain lays snds bond to. .p,lrchASe.

saf anyone wishes to spend pleasant day and at the same time witness modern methods of placer mining on a famous creek let him take a trip out to Anvil over the Wild Goose railroad. If he does, he will find plenty of food for reflection; if he be botanist he can study the flowers, now in full bloom, the grasses and Towering shrubs, and he can find any number of acres where the reindeer moss grows. If he be a minerologist, who can go chipping rocks with his prospecting hammer, or if the .alluvial gold de- iposits interest him more. he may feast his eyes on the sluice boxes, whose rifles are filled with gold-if, perchance, he is there when @ cleanup is in progress.
 Just now Anvil creek is at it's best. speaking from natures view point. The hills are clad with coats of green, which extend down to the limit of the |svalley; and wild flowers indigenous to this latitude may be found in profusion.
