The Source and Distribution of Placer Gold in the Seward Peninsula Ably
 Discussed in a Recent Publication by United States Geological Survey.

Seattle, Jan. 24.-The source and dis trihution of placer gold in the Seward peninsula is d topic ably discussed in d yecent publication by the United States geological survey. It is entitled "Re- commissioners in Cape Nome and Norton Bay Regions, and gives in detail the results of the scientific laborS performed last summer by Alfred H. Brooks, Geo. B. Richardson, Arthur J. Collier and Walter C. Mendenhall during their expedition to the gold fields of which Nome iS the recognized center.
 These government experts announce that the important pacerS have a cer- tain zonal arrangement, aud, broadly speaking, group themselves into belts, which have Il nOr heasterly- y-sout Invest erly extension. The southern belt in. aludes the auriferUus deposits of Cripple river, the Nome reglun, the Krnz- gamepa valley (Pilerlm riverl and the drainage basins of Solomon and Neukluk rivers. The northern belt embraces the placers of the BluestUne, the Agia- puk and the kougarok. The two zones are separated by the KigIuaik noun tains and the Bendeleben group. The relation of the placers of the York re- zion to the others has not been deter mined. These, with those reported from the Arctic coast, may form third

Origin of the Mountains.

In the discussion of the geology it has been shown, broadly speaking, these mountains owe their origin to uplifts and to the intrusion of larger masses of granite rock along their axes. One result of this structure is duplication of the same melamorphic series on both sides of the range. As the placer gold is derived from the metamorphic series, its distribution will be affected by their occurrence, and there results two zones of placers corresponding with the two belts of gold-bearing rock., But while the two areas can be claimed as anriler- ouS, it does not follow that the entire area of the two belts will carry work able deposits of gold. On the contrary, lhe facts indicate that the gold belts are not continuous.

Irregular Distribution.

From detailed descriptions the con- clusiOn is reached that wtLhln these two zones only certain creeks seem to carry placer-gold values; some others carry colors of gold, while from many gold iS, so far as known, entirely ab- sent. The question arises. what is the reason for this irregular distribution of placer gold The members of the geological survey concur in the belief as announced the previous season with reference to Anvll creek, that the placer gold of the entire region is of local origin. In most of the gulch placers the gold is believed to have it's source in the drainage basin of the streams in which it Is found. In the case of deposits that belong to an older drainage system, the same is true of shelr drainage h.Sins. In the gravel plan and beach placers, local origin for the gold implies that the source is in drainage basins of the streams of the immediate vicinity, and that it has reached it's present position by water transportation. Many theories are popular among the miners which in volve a glacial. volcanic and even meteoric origin for the gold, but the facts presented by the geological sur. vey indicate that no such agencies have played any part in the formation of the plACerS.

Source Of the Gold.

From the fact that gold has been found attached to the fragments of vein quartz or schist, and that assays have shown that traces of gold and silver are Gnite common in the veins and mineraliZed schiSls of the shear zones, the conclusiOn is reached that the placer gold oi the Seward penlI- sula has it's source m veins ana im- pre4naLed beds which occur ed close to the present location of the p'acers. The mechanical destruction of the bed- rock and its included veins and min eralized zones has set the gold free, aud 1t has been concentl ated in the gravel deposits where 1t is now found. It has been noted that in some lucali- ties there is evidence of an older drain age system, and that the source of the gold is not necessarily to be sought within the drainage basin in which it is now found. The main point which seelus to be established is that the gold has not been brought far, and that it's source is within bedrock identical in character with that which is now ex- posed. -

Southern Preacher Gives Food for

Inougnt.
Coffee works in many different and
unsuspected ways. e. l.. Wesson,
pastor of Baptist church, of Sardis,
Miss, writes:
81 loved coffee from my infancy, and
never knew of it hurting me until
was 33 years old. | suffered with
headaches if forced to do without 1t,
and sometimes usea it three times a
day, but headache had been one of the
ills of our family, and therefore |
thought it was an inherited evil for
which coffee was a special remedy, but
about nine years ago, | began to suffer
from sleeplessness, which continued
until ii seemed as ia my nerves would
wreck for want of sleep, and yet |
could not sleep.
"A friend suggested that | quit coffee
except for breakfast. which did, and
so found that could sleep a little bet
ter, ut my headaches continued, and
my nervous system would sometimes
seem as if the very fibres of my flesh
were moving within me. 1t went on
unuli three years g | began to suffer
at night with an itching sensation on
my limbs below my knees and on my
arms below the elbows. and sometimes
all over my body, but there was no
eruption on the skin; the flesh was
smooth and white. | consulted sew
eral good physicians, ut with 10 avail.

while, and try Postum Food Coffee.
Wife made it according to directions,
so that | liked it equally as Wen as
coffee. | had no idea that 1t would
relieve the awful itching deep down in
my flesh, but thought would try it to
see if there was any virtue in it. | had
used il only a few days, when | discov.
cred that the itching a not so Sc

my wife said; What is the matter
with you? You do not seem to be
troubled with that itching sensation,
! told her that did not know what
was the cause, but 4 knew that | was
not troubled with the itching any more
and was thankful for it.
Il then went over to preach in an
! other town. and while there drank
some strong coffee, and teh itching re
turned. When | came back home,
commenced using Postum again, ahC
the itching ceased. Then | decided
that coffee in some way produced the
itching. | drink Postum three times
day, and rest as well as v e rested
and have headaches any more
| believe that hundreds of preacher
who suffer from indigestion, nervous
ness and worry, would find rest an,
health if they would quit coffee an'
use Postum"
