in his judgment and in every
case this confidence has brought
them success. Personally he is
a successful man but always care
full, prudent and cautious in his
dealings. He is perfectly at
home at the head of the new COM
pany he represents because he
understands every foot of the
district, is a shrewd and safe
dealer in mining propositions
and when they are offered to him
knows just what they are worth
and everything in connection
with them.
The nature of the Blue Ribbon
company is of the development
order and this places Mr.. Brad

deal of money for his company
for he is always safe in every
new proposition. In the district
he stands in the front rank

 During last winter Nome had q population of about 3.50O, and 4,000 more were expected this spring.
 ''The latest scandal in Nome was in the court official circles, having been brought about by the district judge.

 RIVER Explorers Going Into That Section. PLENTY OF COPPER Another Party Going to Swamp River Via
 Valdes.
PLENTY OF COPPER

Dawson, Y. T.. July l6-Tom Lloyd. who was going back to the White river country, and who said that he would get his party and his supplies in there by means of pack train that he would purchase in this city and ship down to the mouth of the White river. Is said to have abandoned that project, and to be now figuring on a gasoline launch, A steam launch might not serve the pur- pose so well. as the river is full of vol canic ash. from which it gets it's name and the sediment it carries is particu- larly hard on steam boilers.
 But the other party which started from here on the La France on the 2Gth with the intention of polling up the river. is reported to have begun the journey. This is the party of four headed by Jack Baututf. an old pioneer in that part of the country, who has with him his brother Will, Alvin Macauly and Fred f Eckhardt. They are all young gmen,but experienced miners, and accustomed to pushing their way in the exploration of new territory.
 To the leader, however, this is not d new country. He was in there two years ago and staked a group of ten claims on the Swamp river that are be- lieved to be valuable properties. Bau- tutf took the proposition to New York ! last winter, and it Was there taken up | by syndicate which is backed by the London Mortgage & Guarantee Com pany, and the properties bonded for S25O, ,0O0 until they could be exported. The syndicate started out it's party of engineers and experts from Seattle on April 22, under the leadership of Frank Bradshaw, the well-known mining engi- neer and promoter, of Los Angeles and New York. There are about 40 in the party, several of them of eminence in the mining world. They go to Valdes by steamer and then into the interior to the Swamp river over the glacier.
 Bautuif calculated that by starting from here about month later than they started from Seattle, and going by way of the White river he would reach the claims on the Swamp'at about the time they did. Whether they do so or not is question. They will have. so miles up the White, against . very swift current and all sorts of obstacles. When they strike the Swamp at that point their worst difficulties will be over, as it is the opposite of the White, having little current and few obstructions of any kind, and passing through a low, gently rolling country From the banks of the Swamp, the claims are but few miles away,and the travel is easy.
 It was in this neighborhood that Henry Bratnober, the expert. of the Rothschilds brought out sack of cop per nuggets of large size thres years ago; Onderdonk, the son of the Cana dian railroad contractor, was also ii that part of the country, and man. others since have prospected for dpppe [ there with good results.

"A Neglected Bnt Promising
 Region. ..
Host Work Being Done on the Right Fork Of the Agiapu't River
 Prospects Good.

Teller, July 26. One Of thr most neglected. but most promising. region, in the seward peninsula i.;hat drained by the A9iapuk river and it, trihV- tarios. This comprises what was "t one time the Agapuk district and d. part of thc old Port Clarence district. Prior to 1901 Wacticaly ly no prospecting was done there. During that uutlvur- able season, and in spite of great o5- stacles and the fact that there were few men on the creeks, gold Was found widely scattered throughout thi, re- zion and several good pay,trcaHs dis covered.
 The creeks at present being worked are Allceu, Burk and Lawson.
 On Alleen creek the Ellrk boys will begin sluicing on discovery the first of next week. They have been working only four men so far, but today they sent in for more hands.
 Jack Webster has found the pay streak on No. above discovery. ta- cent rains carried away his siuice boxes after he had made two cIcanup,. but he will be sluicing again in q few days.
 On No. 6 above discovery Louis Low enstein i, about ready to sluics. He has dam l5 feet high and 5j feet loug, and has stripped piece of ground 3oX 200 foct. His dam was the only one on the creek not carried away hy the re- cent storms. If he succeeds in making a fair showing this season he has been promised d backing of large capital for extensive operations on this creek next season. No. 3 above has been let on a lay, and will be worked this season.
 On Burk creek, Judge Thompson, commissioner of the Good Hope pre- cinct, is Sluicing on discovery, (. w. Virgie, who ha, recently come down from that region, reports that they have found pay gravel more than 30 feet wide and from to - feet thick. which he believes will average i or j cents to the pan.
 More work is being done on Lawson creek, a tributary of the American river (the right fork of the AgiapuIl) ], than on any other creek in the region, Frank Wilkins and Coleman Griffin and their associate, are working L. men on discovery. They have mad soy eral cleanups, all of which seem to have come up to their expectations. They have eight or min" claims on this creek which show good prospects. Their pay is near the surface. two to three feet thick and unusual y wide.
 The cry from the Agiapuk i, for more prOspectors.

IROH GREEK About Sixty Men are at Work
 on the Creek. Hundreds of lien on the Creeks and Benches Between Nome and
 Pilgrim River.

There are 60 men at work on Iron creek according to a statement made by H. O. Flickinger. who is operating on EldoradO. These men are either sluicing or preparing to do so. Nlr. Flickinger will be ready to sluice next week. He anticipates excellent results. A good deal of work is also being done on Venetia creek, and scattered on many creeks and benches between Nome and Iron creek are scores upon scores of men. Tents are seen almost every where. The recent heavy rains have brought abundance of water to creeks that were dry, while on others there is too much of that article, and consider able damage has been eOne.

 Indeed, its staunches friends have all along maintained that it has looked very bad Says one: Candle creek has been given black eye because 900 men went nhere looking work when there jobs for only l00 Being unable find work they left in disgust declaring that the creek failure and fzzle."

NOME MAR
 OUTSIDE F. (. kappelman Talks of This Section AT MS OLD HOME Gives Nome and This Sec- tion a Good, Though
 Moderate Boost.
AT MS OLD RoME

F.G. Kappelman, we1l-known young man of Nome, the Yukon and Copper river sections, who is now visiting his old home in Evanston, H., has the following to say in recent issue of an Evanston paper concerning Nome and Nome affairs:
 "The general idea of Nome is badly mistaken one. While during the eight months of winter, we are presumed as being housed up in small houses, freez- ing, starving and suffering, we are liv- ing with ease and comfort and always have plenty to eat. The principal streets are planked, and walks can be . found to any part of town. The city is lighted by electricity, the plant having the fire risk, which in all new towns is great. The school system of Nome is equal to that of any town of its size in the United States. We have gram mar school, high school and primary . school. Beside this there are classes in German, French and Spanish, miner ology and chemistry and bookkeeping The school trustees, according to the . Alaskan code, are elected every year, and this year we have q very good and efficient board. Last years board was very loose and free in the disposition of the school funds, and not at all popular, as was evidenced by electing an entire new board. Of course we have our troubles and squabbles, and probably more thsn our share. but being shut in from the outside world during the long winter months, we have nothing else to do.
 "While I would not advise anybody to 70 there, it is surely country of great possibilities, and to the hustler and the man who is willing to work offers many opportunities. 4 great deal has been said and published con. corning Nome and the immediate vi. cinity, but very little is as yet kno'n. Every year, brings better confidence $ to the future. Beach mining is prac tically at an end, but not so with tn creeks and benches. What work ha been done on Anvil, Dexter, Sno Rulch, Grass gulch and others in tn Nome district has been very satlsfa' tory, and with tho completion of th pumping plant by the Wild Goose Mil Ing Company, at a cost of s5oo,o ,ooo' an . good supply of water thereby, u output of gold will increase many tim' shat of previous years. Besides u Nome district there is the Council Gil district, in which is Ophir creek,
 good producer; Terkok dist@'et; whit claims Daniels creek ano' the iaaiNs- Topkok beach; Fairhaven ana ho' 0arok districts. Candle creek, whio
