AMONG
 NATIVES Traversing Unknown
 Regions. FOUND PROSPECTS NOmadiC Career of John Haynes During the Past Two
 Years.
FOUND PROSPECTS

Away from civilization, living the life of a native, traversing unknown re- giOnS, enduring hardships and priva- tiOns, hunting and prospecting such has been the lot of John II Haynes for the past two years.
 Haynes left Nome in April, 1901, and went to the native village of Shaktolik. on the ShaktOlik river. which empties into Norton sound. In company with two natives from the village, he went inland about POO miles, striking a tribu- tary that runs into the headwaters of the ShaktOlik. Here he found cOlOrs in red loam formation. but nothing to pay. Food being exhausted, the party returned to the native village, from whence Haynes proceeded to St. Mich ael, and from thence to the Koyukuk country. Arriving on the koyukuk river, Haynes, in company with ten na- tives, went up Johns river about 90 miles and swung off on a tributary called Formation creek, which heads in the main divide. The natives were on a hunting trip, while Haynes devoted the greater part of his time to prospect ing. Considerable country was gone over, but Haynes found nothing par ticularly encouraging on this trip, the party eventually arriving at Bettles in January. After remaining here for q short time, Haynes again resumed life among the natives, going down the koyukuk to where the Atlantner runs in, and going up the latter river. Here he spent the time in prospecting and hunting, living with natives meanwhile. Haynes says the formation in this sec tion is very similar to Nome, being of mica schist and limestone. There were six white men prospecting in this cOun- try, and on a tributary of the Atlant- her, the Nottak, Charles Youngberg. James Ackerman and Samuel Thaws- ley had located large quartz lead.

QUARTZ CLAIM ON ROCK GREEK
Stringers of Quartz in Slate For matiOn....A Quarry
 Proposition.

Work on the quartz mine on Rock creek, owned by the Pioneer Mining Co.,, has been stopped by reason of too much water. Two tunnels, one 85 feet and the other g feet, have been run in, cross cutting the lead. The quartz veins are in slate formation, the stringsrs being about five feet apart Tho slate, especially next to the quartz veins, is even richer than tho quartz itself, making the mine quarry prOpo- sition. Work will be resumed on the mine next season, when drainage will be put in. The prospect is very flatter- ing for quartz mine to be made out of this property.

 WEST OF NOME
Are After the "OId Beach Dig. gingS.". "...AIOng the
 Coast.

Prospectors are at work along the coast line between Nome and Penny, trying to get onto tundra "beach dig ginss.' The theory of many miners, which seems probable, is that an old beach line runs along the coast, eX tending inland from quarter to half a mile.
 While no particular strike on the tundra has been reported from this section west of Nome, it may not be unreasonable to expect that the same paystreak which extends from Nome to Hastings creek will go on through this, as yet, unprospected section. Many have an idea that this is so, and are showing their faith by their works, and are diligently digging away.
