Opportunities
In the South

No portion of the United States
has made greater progress in the
last year or two than the South.
Northern and foreign capital is
rapidly invading that section,
finding profitable investment in
the various industries and fac
tories that are being rapidly de-
veloped and built. The great
influx of settlers is creating an
increased demand for lands of
all kinds and prices are gradual
ly advancing, as they will for
years to come. Work is plen-
tiful and poverty practically
unknown. Alabama is supply
ing coal and iron to all the
world. More money can be- made
and with less labor in the raising
of small fruits and berries and
in truck patching on the Gulf
Coast than in any other state in
the Union. Strawberries from
Alabama reach northern mark
cts before those from the states
inthe southeast. Ctttls cm bs
raised with great profit, Their
being millions of acres of cheap
range lands. If you are inter-
ested in the south and its re-

SN|PERS
 AT WORK Caught in the Act on Specimen GuIch.
FOUND GOOD PAY
On a Claim Owned by the North. ern Mining CO...DOnohue and
 Ballard Arrested.

James J. Donohue and William Bal lard were arrested Wednesday night about F o'clock on No. : bench claim, Specimen gulch, by Deputy Marshal A. J. Cody, and brought to town, where they were lodged in the federal jail.
 Donohue and Ballard were caught "sniping" on the bench claim, which is owned by the Northern Mining X Trading Co. Apparently they had been at work for some time. Tworock- CTS and "long tom" were found in the drift at the foot of the shaft. Evi- dently the men had been taking out pay, for seven pans of dirt taken from the place where they were working when arrested, yielded s3.5O when Chas. F.. Kruse, agent of the Northern Mining Co.,, and w. J. Southward pan. ned it yesterday.
 A few days ago Mir. Kruse received 8 "tip" that some one was "sniping" on the claim, and he immediately began an investigation. Going to the claim, he saw that work was actively in pro- gress in small way. It had been sup posed that the shaft leading to the underground workings had caved in, but it had not. The mine was worked extensively last winter, and the pay dirt is rich. MT. Kruse came to town and made complaint, and warrants wore issued, and Wednesday night Deputy Marshal Cody accompanied him to the claim. The officer was forced to crawl along the drift to where the men were found at work.
 "Throw up your hands, he called, leveling his gun at the men.
 'Don't shoot," one of them replied, and the arrests were made without fur ther ado, and the snipers were forth with brought to town. Their prelimi- nrry examination is set for Tuesday next at ? p. m.
 It is believed that four or five men participated in the work of sniping. The water used for working the rock CTS was brought from Anvil creek and there was found Il we'll beaten trail leading from the top of the shaft to the creek. All the work was done after darkness had set in.
 Donohue is acquainted with the in- side of the federal jail. He was arrest ed with J. w. Thorp last summer on a charge of salting Sunset creek claim, but the prosecuting witness went to the States, and the case was dropped. Bal.

GOOD PROSPECTS
But No Pay Found as Yet...CoaI Mine Being WOrked...Man
 Lost on the Ice.

Golsovia. Alaska, Dec. 5.-The coal mine on Coal creek, which had been closed for the summer, has been re. opened, and at present they are taking out very fine coal.
 Several teams have gone through to the Anvik river during the past week; teams have also been reported as con- ing down the Yukon and up the Anvik. Very good prospects are said to have been found so far, but nothing as yet to pay for working without machinery, as it has been considered to be a hy- draulicking proposition.
 A report reached here yesterday from St. Michael that an unknown mad had gone out with the ice during the recent storm. It was at first thought that he was Q soldier, but on roll call all soldiers were present.
 Sergeant Moore and party of signal corps men have left Fort Gibbon for St. Michael, where they will build Q line to the small canal ard then span it. This will be done in order to do away with tho cable which is now used across the bay, and which is causing considerable trouble. They may also rebuild the line to Unalaklik.

STRIKES GENUINE Rich Quartz Found in
 Kougarok District
KEPT VERY QUIET
A Rich Quartz Ledge Discovered About Four Miles From
 Lanes Landing.

In THE NUGGET of December 9 last was published a rumor of quartz strike in the vicinity of the Sawtooth country. Nothing definite could be learned as to the authenticity of the reported strike, and it was so stated.
 The reported strike, however, seems to have been genuine, and it has been verified since the first publication of the rumor.
 The strike according to a statement made by well known citizen was made last fall by a man named Stemple. The latter was in town about ten days ago for supplies, and in a conversation with Attorney James w. Bell, he said that he had found an excellent quartz ledge carrying free milling ore. The location of the strike is about four miles from Lanes Landing, in the Kougarok dis trict. Mir. Stemple brought down number of samples of the rock for assay purposes. He also stated to Mir. Bell that eight men were at work develop ing the ledge. Mr. Stemple was ex- ceedingly cautious in his remarks about his find, stating that he did not want it to get into the newspapers, but he also added that he 'would not take sl0O,000 for his property"
 Stemple is an old California miner and came to Nome in the spring of 1900 on the same steamer with Mir. Bell.

 OF DIRT Which Yielded STA on Dahl Creek.
NEW STRIKES MADE
Both in Placer and in Quartz. Enthusiastic MuSher Returns
 From That Section.

1.-Two good but mysterious placer strikes have been made recently in Kougarok district,' said w. Millmore last night. ''l also saw some of the finest kind ofquartz specimens obtained in that sectiOn." he said Those n- cluded copper, galena, carrying much gold, cinnabar and graphite. The lodges are in place. and there is no doubt that that section has d wonder ful future before it, both from a placer and quartz standpoint. From hand ful of frozen dirt taken from a bench of the right limit of No. ,, Dahl creek, got STA. A rich paystreak has been found there. How extensive it is, is not known as yet, but it seems to trend in the direction of Coffee and Quartz creeks"
 Mir. MillmOre confirms the report Oi a placer strike in the Iron creek coun- try, and he says that the quartz pros poets of that section are also excellent. He left Nome for Kougarok on Nov. 30 The trails on Nome river are good to the portage, he says. but dangerous on the Pilgrim river to the Cottonwood roadhouse by reason of overtlows. From there to Lanes landing travelling is better, but the dry snow on the tundra does not make it good, by any means. w. Y. Fisher, who left Nome a short time ago with a steam thawer for the Kougarok, was Il days in reaching Cottonwood roadhouse, but his perse- verance got him there, notwithstand- ing all difficulties.
 Stream tin has been found in several creeks of the KougarOk. but so far no ledge has been located. Mr. Millmore is enthusiastic when talking of the Kougarok, which he confidently pre- diets will develop into a great placer and quartz camp in the near future.
