Persons who have torn stamps in

The work of planting, cutting and thresh-
ing this great harvest is becoming more
interesting every year, and the final task
of getting it to market is more puzzHng
each autumn. This fall there will be hun
creds of thousands of bushels heaped on the
ground under the open sky for weeks at
a time because Of the inability Of the ship
pers to secure cars.
Last fall a New York buyer came West
10 look for wheat. At one place he APP
preached the station and wonderingly asked
his driver
Circus in town."
No, hain't been a circus here In three
years"
What do those tents mean them
Wheat, sir There's wheat under all

The dealers, unable to handle the large
amounts of wheat coming in from the farms,
had the farmers heap the grain on the open
sod and then, securing some circus tents.
placed them above the great red piles to
prevent the damage that rain or hail might
do.
So it will be in few weeks from now,
for the prairie railroads facilities will be
totally inadequate to handle the crop, which
has exceeded all antcipatons. and will
make round hundred million bushels,
the largest weld of the State.

gamepa. In the Kuzitrin basin and on the
streams tributary to the Niukluk River
A number of the streams which are tributary
to Port Clarence were also found to carry
commercial value.
Some development Of placers on streams
flowing northward to the Arctic Ocean
has been made None of these northeriy
flowing streams has been found to be so
rich as those of the southern districts.
Many of them have produced gold in COM
mercial quantities. and with further de-
veIopment will probably become important
producers.
Tho large increase in the output ofOphir
Creek, northern tributary of the Niukluk,
is OF special interest. Its production IN
100? was over 81 5000
This stream was one of the first on which
gold was discovered in the Seward PENN
sula, and for several years was spasmodi-
cally worked but it is only since the intro
duction of systematic methods of mining
and extraction that Ophir Creek has be-
come one of the largest producers OF the
region.
These facts augur well for thu future of
the Seward Peninsula placer fields. 1t is
believed that other streams will have a
history similar to that of Ophir Creek.
In nearly every case thus far the first
work is done along the channels Of the
stream. When these are worked out the
prospectors turn their attention to the

southwest corner Of the peninsula, alone
represented the mining industry in this
district; but to-day mining is in progress
on many Of the streams and gulches in
the interior of the peninsula, and though
Nome is still the greatest producer, the
other districts contribute large amount
OF gold dust to the total utput
Though the yield last year was S., 500, 900,
it would have been much greater If II had
not been for two distinct conditions. Very
little rain fell in July and August, the height
Of the mining season. and hence hut little
sluicing could be done. The other cause
which restricted the output was that a
great deal of dead work was done in
preparation for more extensive mining
during the present season. bitches were
dug, pumping plants established, and other
improvements made which are certain to
increase the gold production.
The problem of transportation into the
interior is still a serious one. After heavy
machinery has been landed on Nome beach
it is still grave question how 10 transport
il from the coast to the mines. This prob
lem involves the building of roads and in
some cases tho dredging of rivers.
The problem has been solved for the
Anvil Greek region. because narrow gauge
railroad now extends from Nome beach
TO the head of Anvil Creek. Roads have
been extended from the m ilroad to adjacent
creeks, so that ii is possible to handle heavy
machinery for the region tributary 10
Nome; but the problem has not vet been
solved for the more isolated camps
In 1902 gold mining was carried on in
the Nome region proper, in the Solomon
and EIdorado River region, on the streams

benches and terraces. which often yield
good returns.
In some cases. however, the miners
neglect thoroughly to prospect the terraces
and benches, and they have also abandoned
placers which, in the opinion of members
of the Geological Survey. may still carry
gold in paying quantities.
In Anvil Creek last year the most impor-
tant development was in the auriferous
gravels of the benches which are found on
both sides of the valley. This gave a new
impetus to mining.
The high-bench gravels from 500 TO 800
feet above the sea were discovered in 1900
and are still in process of development.
Some of them have great depth and the
extraction of the gold involves much labor.
The tundra, or coastal plain. placers back
Of Nome are still worked. but their develop
ment is not yet commensurate with their
probable importance. II ia believed that
the gravels of this coastal plain carry many
workable placers.
They are fewfeet above and below sea
level are'mined through shallow trenches.
and operations have been hampered by
lack of facilities for handling the surface
wafer. Wnen an economic metnod OF
mining these gravels in large way has
been devised handsome profits will certainly
be made.
Everything points to the probability
that the greatest placer mining interests
of Alaska may, for years to come be conferred
in the Seward Peninsula; and it will not be
surprising TO hear at any timco.of most
important Developments in the regions

showing the distribution Of actual placer

About eleven-twelfths of all the placer
gold obtained in that year, or $500 900,
was mined in the peninsula extending into
Behring Sea, north Of St. Michaels, which
has been named the Seward Peninsula.
Because this little area is yielding at
present nearly all the placer gold that s
coming from Alaska another map has been

The map here presented shows all the i'm

there is plenty Of pay dirt, though as yet
