Rich Dirt on a NikkiIa
 Bench Claim
ON DEXTER DIVIDE
One of inc Richest Strikes Ever Found on Seward Pc.
 ninSula.

"You can jab shovel anyhewre into the face of the drift and take out pan of dirt worth one hundred dollars"
 That is the statement made concerns ing the newest strike in Nome district. The owncr of the claim is William Dettering, better known as Caribou Bill" The claim is bench on the east side of the Hattie, on Nakkia gulch.
 Last Monday Louis L. Lane saw F pans taken from the drift that aggre- gated $l,2Sj Alr. Lane says, where this phenomenal dirt is found. it looks as if it were u ''pot hole" and on the edge of the rim the big pans have been found. A hole was sunk on the claim last winter, v feet deep. but no bed. rock was found. Now cut is being run from the gulch, and dirt like that chronicled above is abundant. It is probably tLc richest strike that has ever been made in this section. As everyone knows who is familiar with the topography of the country on or about Anvil and Dexter, this bench claim and scores of others are on the divide between Anvil and Dexter, and this stIile is probably only the pre- cursor of many more in the same neigh borhood
 Gus Bolt2 who visited the claim on Sunday, sa!s he saw a pan in which there was over d pound avoirdupois of gold. He offered S75 for the contents b the smallest pan, but his offer was refused.
 Eugene Chilberg, of the Pioneer Mining Co.,, saw seven pans on Sunday which netted Sl500: one was worth $125,
 Mcdonald, Reeve & Leonard pros- pected the claim last winter to a Jim, tied extent. They sank the shaft re- ferred to above, and this spring they cleaned up 5l0 ounces.
 A good strike is also reported on the Surprise bench, in the same vicinity. A good body of dirt has been located that will run, it is claimed, S2 to the pan.

It is not all icebergs and snow. You have q great country here, and it is coming to the front" Senator Nelson told of the party'S three days stay at Skagway, six days in Dawson and their expert ences coming down the Yukon. He is much impressed with the agricultural possibilities of Alaska, especially in the Yukon, Copper river, Tanata and Forty Mile sections. Stock raising, he thinks, can be successfully pursued, and vege- tables, including potatoes, oats and bar ley, as well as hay. can be grown for a market which is at home.
