Building Boom in and Around
 kadiak island.
TIVE QUARTZ MINES
At Naldes ard on Prince William Sound Promise to Be a Lasting Source of Benefit Town Is Growing RapidIy-COpper Mines.

Things are about the same at Kadiall as they were at last reports. There k a good deal of prospecting going on, and there has been quite a boom ln building in and around Kadiak. From Naldes there come reports of great business activity and mining en- terprise. The city is growing rapidly and steadily and her merchants and residents are looking forward to her future with great satisfaction the placer mines are sources of great revenue at the present time, but they are not to be the lasting source of bene- fit that the quartz lodges are to be- come. The lodges of Prince William sound are to be the permanent source of benefit to the city.
 There are two quartz mines in active operation on the sound already. each about = miles from Naldes, one at Virgin bsy producing copper ore and employing eighteen men, and the other on Glacier island, being free milling gold proposition.
 That portion of the Copper river country embraced in the blg bend of the river where the mines are located, samples of which have been known to assay up to $500 q ton, is q rich sec ton. This country is about l25 miles hack from Valdes and is thought to be of great extent and richness. Naldes has a splendid harbor. capable of talk ing care of a large number of vessels, and being situated on the AllAmerican route from the interior, there is little doubt of her future.
 There is good water in and around Vade5, and 1t is generally found near the surface of the earth.
 One thing that is q drawback to Nalues is the fact that 10 wharf has been built there. This makes it neces- sary for all freight to be lightered. thus making shipping very expensive for cons gnees.

THE OUTSIDE
 VIA KkTMAE
Charles E. Lowe. the We'll Known MuSher, and Doc Miller Will
 Start Tomorrow.

Charles F.. Lowe, the well known Alaska musher, will leave Nome to. morrow morning for the outside. He expects to reach Katmai within thirty days with his dog team. which is made up of number of the fastest and best native dogs.
 Mr. Lowe is one of the very best mushers in Northwestern Alaska, and it. goes without saying that he will reach his destination within the short est possible time. He will take out a large number of letters for private par ties who are choosing this means oi conveyance in preference to the very unsatisfactory mail service furnished by the government and its contractors and Sub-cont ractOrs.
 Mir. Lowe will spend few days iu Seattle and San Francisco and other Pacific coast points before returning to Nome next spring on one of the early steamers. He will also take out large number of copies of the NUGGET for distribution in the varions towns which he visits.
 Mr. Lowe will be accompanied on his trip to the Pacific coast by Dr. F. E. Miller, who will visit his old home in Whatcom, Wash, before returning 10 Nome next spring.

Anvil rlaSOGjc Club.

Another pleasant evening was passed by the members of the Anvil Masonic Club at their meeting last Thursday night.
 The impromptu mock trial, in which the chairman of the old entertainment committee and the chairman of the present one, were the accused, was en- joyed by all except the principals.
 Beer of Nome brewing and cigars of questionable origin were in abundance.
 Owing to the fact that the large Golden Gate hall is engaged for next Thursday night, the ladies night of the Anvil Masonic Club was postponed till their regular meeting night, Thurs day, March 6.

Will Produce $75,OOO,OOO in the Years to Come.
IS WIDE AND DEEP
It Has Paystreak from a Third to q Half lille Wide and Is 70 Tiles Long-A Large Number of lien Will Be Emt tloyed Next Season.

J. l.. Wilson, an old-timcr of this section, has been in town for some days, and with Mrs. Wilson is stopping at the Golden Gate hotel. Mr. Wilson Is heavily interested in the Council City country, where he has made his home for the past three years. While business is now dull in that sectior, Mr. Wilson predicts grand future fOl the camp. Of course, the really great creek of that district is Ophir, which has steadily forged to the front as the work of developing it proceeded. The creek is fully 20 miles long, and as far as it has been worked it has never shown blank.
 Mr. Wilson estimates that the creek will be worked for the next 20 years and that it will produce S75, GOO, GOO in dust. While the ground as whole is not phenomenally rich, il is both wide and deep, being from l5 feet to 20 feet or so to bedrock, while the payau'eak is Mom T third of a mile to a half mile wide. Yet some immense pans have been taken from claims on this creek On discovery claim last summer four pans yielded something over $500. and Mir. Wilson states that he believes if he had selected pan with care he could have picked up half pan full of the yellow metal. It lay on bedrock in a alining ms.;, and could be easily -Scooped up with the hand. Probably l,50O men will be employed on Ophir creek next season.
 Considerable relocating" and Jumping" was done in the Council country on January l, and trouble is likely to ensue because of it.
 Judge Walter H. Ferguson, better known to his old.time friends as Captain Ferguson, because he is more of the : typical jovial sen salt than the ascetic student of Coke and Blackstone and Tom Carter's Alaska Code, is another Council City man in town. He, too. is enthusiastic over the mining outlook. in his district. Council has never been boomed, because it does no, need any . "hot air." he says. IL has already given an earnest of what it can do, and the gold output from Ophir and other , creeks in the district will assume greater proportions as the years go by, Judge Ferguson will remain in town for week or ten days before returning to his home.
