The Nome nugget., 1903-10-03

'lliS was constructed last winter, adding 'o more miles to the system.
 Before the line from Fort Gibbon to hetchumstock was finished last year forest fires broke out in the Tanano district, and before they could be stepped over 200 miles of the govern ment line was destroyed. The poles were burned and the wire laid on the ground. Capt, Burnell at once put on ap additional force of men and followed up the flames, so that by the time he left the North the damage was well on toward repair and has since been com. pleted.
 Probably the worst part of the coun- try over which the system was built lies between Valdez and Eagle, on one part of the system, and ketchumstock and Cinema, on the Panama line.

"A GREAT
 SUCCESS Thousands Attend DaW. sons First Fair.
INDUSTRIAL SHOW
News of the Yukon Metropolis Encouraging Reports From
 Tanana Country.

Dawson, Y. T., Sept. 14.-The Daw- son Horticultural and Industrial Fair, which is being held in the Athletic building, in this city, has proved to be decided success. There is a great variety in the displays of machinery, flowers, vegetables, grain and animals.
 During every day of the fair hundreds of persons swarm through the giant building, which is the center of activity in the town. The fine arts display the splendid work of the Iukoners, is certainly revelation.
 In the main pavilion the staple pro- ducts embrace the most striking and picturesque display, aside from place gold quartz, native coal exhibits, man. moth vegetables of all kinds, Flowers and grain grown on the soil herea- bouts.
 Turnips were exhibited that weighed 2l pounds. The exhibits and displays came from all parts of the territory and Alaska.
 Among the Yukon articles are man. moth remains of prehistoric animals and Indian curios of all kinds.
 Private Hawkins, of the Cnitcd States army, was killed accidentally at Eagle City during the target practice few days age. Hawkins was standing behind the target. A bullet fired glarced downward, striking him in the head, killing him instantly.
 Commissioners Britton and Bell, with their secretaries, have completed the concessions inquiry They left last week for Ottawa.
 The public is extremely anxious to hear the result of the investigations made It is believed here that the yer dict which the commissioners will rem der will not remedy the existing cOndi- tions and that most of the concessions will stand as granteG.
 Recent arrivals from Duncan creek bring word that provisions will be very scarce there this winter. It is on account of the extremely low water in Stewart river. The steamer Prospect was nine days in running up the river. It is extremely doubtful if another boat will reach there this year. This is very serious matter, as the Duncan creek district will be q big producer this year.
 Will Cummings was severely injured on Gold Run. A roof of dirt fell on him, breaking his wrist and ankle, also bruising him badly.
 Charlie Lamb, sourdough, who re- gently returned from Circle, says 200 men are now in the district and that good pay is being obtained.
 Late reports from Panama are very encouraging. The Northern Conner cial company is putting in a large stock for the winter. Good pay is obtained on many creeks, but water is scarce. Experts say that it will be the largest

ROUGH VOYAGE
 OF AUGUSTA C.
Four Days in Reaching Nome From Teller and TiShOu River
 Points.

Gasoline steamer Augusta C., car tain Bernard, reached Nome Thursday night from Teller. The little steamer encountered the severest kind of weather, and was four days in reaching this port, her passengers, 22 in number. being landed with difficulty.
 Among those who came down from Teller was Deputy Marshal Evans of that place. Other passengers were Dave Springer, J. C. Murray, J. r. Rudd, of Gold Run, E. A. Winfield, Charles Herring, Mrs. Herring and five children, and Lewis Meyers of Tishou.
 Mr. Evans says that in Teller and that neighborhood there are about 7j people left. Teller, he thinks, will have population this winter of about sixty people.

 At Cos 1 met Mir. Frank Castro, formerly residing in Nogales, who has there a store and is postmaster. He informed me that there have been recently some rich mineral developments in the Pincta noun tains. about fifteen miles eastward from that place. There had been Recently q sale of one property the "Esperanza." Mr. Castro owns an extension of that property. He showed me some of the ore from the mine. The free gold stood out Of it in spots as large as pin heads, all through the rock. It would re- qnire but few tons of that kind of rock to make a goodly sized for tune.
 Cos IS the temporary terminus of the Nacozari railway, and IS tenn porary town-tents mostly When the road is completed to Nacozari, Cos will disappear.
 With vast and varied amount of transformation the people of this region seem particularly and Peculiarly endowed. At Cos l was told that it was only thirty miles to Pilares de Teras, and as l Thought it would surely be missing something to return home without Visiting the famous Lucky Tiger" and Roy" mines over in that re- gion, on Saturday morning last, lstarted in that direction. I was to follow the railway northward to the second station, and then turn to the eastward. At the first sta ton l was shown a trail which would cut off considerable distance, but he assured me that the dis tance Is forty or forty-fve miles over a very rough road, Before was through l realized that he was correct, but before | had gone a mile met two men on the trail who assured me the distance is less than eight leagues. The trail led upon long, sloping mesa, covered With broken stone for miles. Near the top l met an American pros a worn and weary wight, prodding pool and burro, which bore his out ht. He assured me that I was yet about forty miles from the Lucky Tiger" whence he had come the day, and of the "Roy" mine he had never heard. After the prospector the trail led | me across the divide between the fronteras and Bavispe rivers, and down into the bottom of deep 'aflon, along the precipitous sides oy which the trail hung like thread for miles, and the descent was tedious and painful. In the bottom of the cafon 1 came to the road, and the sun marked that the noon hour had long passed by.
 1he road winds around the iepths of the canon, the walls of which present the faces of all sorts 'f rock formation from the softest edlmentary up to the most adam lntlne igneous, and all grades be- Ween.

toDi SSs NhiNh ID hliOMu dS AZ ud Caliente canon," l met small pack train with two or three men in charge. They assured me that l was yet eleven leagues from Nina Roy" and fourteen from Lucky Tiger,' or "El Tigre," as they called it; that they were beyond the Bavlspe river, upon different roads, and far apart. About a mile farther l met another traveller, who said it was only eight leagues to the Roy" mine, and that "El Tigre" was but little farther, and on the same road. More miles of weary plodding and l met an old man with a train of burros laden with mescal going toward the rail- road. He assured me that 1 was about five leagues from "Mina Roy" He advised me stop for the night at "Agua Caliente," where he told me an American family keep hotel.
 It was nearly evening when dis mounted at the place mentioned, where found the family of Mir. W. B. Foster, of Naco. Mir. Foster had gone to Douglas on the preceding day.
 MT. w. B. Foster and MT. Lee Benton, of Naco, well known in Nogales, have leased the "Agua Caliente" property and will build a good hotel for accommodation of visitors. The hot springs, which give the place its name, are re- nowned for their curative proper ties, rheumatic troubles speedily yielding to their influence and people came from long distances to bathe in the waters. Heretofore accommodations have been very poor, and many who would come are kept away. Messrs. Benton x Foster will erect a good, comfort able hotel and be prepared to care for all who come.
 Shortly after my stop 1 went up the mountain side, some 800 yards away to visit the spring-or springs, for there are several. They seem to be within the confines of a small, extinct volcanic crater, the rim of which can be readily traced, not more than l50 yards in diam eter. The gradual deposition of matter brought up by the i waters has filled the crater, and | within the area are the several ] springs. Beside the springs there are a number of solfataras or mud volcanoes, probably old springs which have been finally choked by 5he deposition of organic matter. The mud in these vents is slimy )oze of about the consistency of very thick paste, brownish in color, md extends to unknown depths. A gentleman who went up with me MT. Frank Vaughn of Bisbee- hrust long pole into one of hem, and with hardly any pressure t went down out of sight. He show d me one place where one of them lad raised a mound above the sur ace, that had spread over on the olid ground. With pole he had opped that, cutting a channel a ouple of feet in width, and through hat the mud had ran, about as would molasses, and spread over n area twenty feet or more cross.

 GOOD SHIPPING ORE has been extracted and sent to the smelters to the value of many thousands of dollars. In one place there is a tunnel more than 100 feet long from which such ore has been extracted, and the top, bot tom and breast are still in good ore. It is now the property of Mir. George F. Woodward of Mocte- zuma.
 This same belt including the "Olvido" is traced clear through to the "Churunibabi," ten miles away and close to the railroad, north from Nacozari four miles. The "Churunibabi" was an dntigua, and is reputed to have
 YIELDED IMMENSELY. It was taken in hand and devel- oped by Suits & Riordan and sold to the Moctezuma Copper Com pany, and it is said that at the time of the sale there were reported $365, 900 worth of ore in sight, worth $S0 gold per ton. The ore is f1uor spar, carrying heavy values in gold. It is said to be used as a lux and it is reported that the gold is afterwerd separated from .he copper product.

 Seyenty-five miles, or therea bout south from the international bound ary line at Douglas, extending east ward from the line of the Nacozari railway, between Cos station and Nacozari, is country which is generally considered as within two separate mining regions (Huacal and Churunibabi) but which, geo. logically, may be practically con sidered as one great and very rich mining field Within this region were included some of the richest and most productive of the far famed
 ANTIGUA" MINES
 from which poured into the coffers of the royal Spanish treasury an apparently inexhaustible stream of golden wealth and silver values, which made, all oyer the world, the name of Mexico synonymous with that of the Ophir of King Solomon. Here were the famous "Dona Maria" "Churunibabi," :" "Huacal," San Jose" Santa Rosa" and many other great mines whose unremitting flow of precious metals enriched their lucky own CTS, and aided in swelling that wealth and splendor to which the Spanish monarchy attained during a couple of centuries following the great discovery of Columbus.
 HUACAL MOUNTAIN
 is lofty and conspicuous peak which rises to a height of about 5000 feet some nine miles east from Nacozari. From it's Hanks there radiate numerous ridges, some of them extending for miles. Along these ridges there run, likewise great distances, strong, well defined and highly mineralized dykes and lodges. In places the ridges overhang deep and precipitous cations. When mountain the rending and cracking of the earth's crest caused the dykes and lodges; the erosion of the ages which have since passed, made the deep cahons and lofty ridges.
 Within this great region there has been
 GREAT ACTIVITY turing the past two or three years. Many new properties have been denounced and work begun, anti- Iuds have been taken up and re- opened, while others that have heretofore been recently operated i lave taken on renewed activity.
