in the district. The dredger has a capacity of 10000 yards per day, and 1t will thus be seen that low grade ground can be worked at a big profit The company will employ about 150 men this season, the greater portion of them having been brought from the outside A complete machine shop is a feature of the company's plant as well as hospital with 20 beds, a matron and trained nurses.
 This company will operate steamers on Fish river from Golovin to Council during the summer, running in con- nection with the steamer Discovery and it is stated that one will be able to reach Council in about 28 hours from Nome.
 But perhaps one of the most import ant undertakings proposed by the com pany is railroad building. The survey of a road from Golovin to White Moun- tain will be begun immediately but the road will not be in operation before next year. Another project is the building of a standard guage road from Nome to Council. The survey of this line will be completed this year, ac- cOrding to pr. De Soto's statement, 20 miles will be constructed next summer and it will be completed in 1905. The proposed route is by way of Osborne creek and St. Michael gulch. thence across country. tapping the Eldorado, Bonanza and Solomon districts, the Casadepoga and the Neukluk.
 Dr. De Soto also states that his Se- attle representatives are arranging for q visit of 100 or more capitalists from various portions of the states to this section some time next month
 Among the officers and officials of the De Soto company are Capt. w. H.. Ferguson, who is assistant general manager, R. $. Ryan, w. B. Hastings and J. r. Parkinson.
 The Jeanie sailed for Golovin about noon on Thursday, where she will dis charge her cargo.

HAVE
 BIG PLANS What DeSotO Placer Co.
 Proposes RalRoAD PROJECTS
One From Nome to COunCil, An. other from GOIOyin to
 White Mountain.

There's nothing small about the min- ing operations which the De Soto Placer Mining Co. propose to inaugur- ate the coming season in Council City district. The company has large areas of ground in that section and it seems to be going about the development of it's holdings in a practical way.
 On board the steamer Jeanie which anchored in the rOadstead early Thursday morning were $l15,000 worth of mining machinery and supplies. These include the largest dredger ever built and which President De Soto of the company alleges will revolutionize mining methods where large bodies of low grade gravel are found. This dredger will be used on the company's property on the Neukluk, while opera tions will also be carried on elsewhere

GOLD OUTPUT
 THIS SEASON
Will Be SlO,OOO,OOO, Says W. l. Leland of the MiOcene
 Company.

"The prospects never looked brighter for this section of Alaska,' said w. l.. Leland of the Miocene Company yes- terday. steward peninsula will pro- duce SlO, 1000, ,OOO in gold dust this year. The extent of :the gold deposits of this region are just becoming known, and it is fact that more money for in- vestment in mines and other enter prises has been brought to Nome this season than ever before, not excepting 1900. And more is coming. The next fleet of steamers will bring in lots of more men with money. That this coun- try is the greatest goldfield yet discov- cred is now being accepted as fact by mining men generally.'
 MT. Leland has always evinced the greatest faith in Seward peninsula. Last fall in an interview with NUG- GET representative he said: "It knew where there was a richer country would go to it. He has followed min- ing all his life and is therefore com petent judge.
 w. $. Bliss of the Miocene Co.,, will look after it's affairs in Nome and this district this season, while Mir. Leland will devote his attention to outside in- tereSts.
 Mr. Leland spent the winter in Cal ifornia and returned a few days ago accompanied by Mrs. Leland.

The Old Store Leased to the N A. T. & I. Co., Many Other
 Changes are Made.

The Northern Commercial company have closed their business at this point and will retire from the field A rumor to this effect reached Nome on the arrival of the first steamer, but nothing official was known until the ar rival of Capt. Hansen Thursday on the Portland.
 The store was closed yesterday morn ing and stock taking was immediately begun.
 The plant of the company has been leased to John J. Seson company, in corporated, and they have sub-let ware house No. 3, which includes the cold and warm storage plant. and the trans portatiOn office to the Pacific Trading company, composed of Capt.

 The passing of the N. C. Co. from the business field of Nome will be re- gretted by many people, who have come to look upon the A. (. Co. and it's successor. the N. C. Co.,, as landmark of this section.
