QUARTZ MINES

Eighty Sacks of Ore Will be Shipped to the Tacoma
 Shelter.

James Jacoby, well-known mining man of this section, came up from Top kok Sunday, where he is interested in some promising quartz properties, To- cated in 1900 The claims are known as the Polar Star group, and Mr. Jacoby has always evinced the greatest faith in the properties. Thisspring he again resumed the work of development, and, as result, struck new ledge loo feet wide, in which are five distinct stratas of arsenical pyrites ore. Mir Jacoby took out 80 sacks of this ore, which will be shipped to the Tacoma shelter for a mill test. A Montana mining expert prOnounces the ore to be of excellent quality. Samples of the ore sent to Denver last year were said to be the best cyanide ore that had been treated at the Denver smelters. Mr. Jacoby says that the ore will easily average S3O ton. The work of developing the Polar Star group will be continued.

Can Be Made Out of
 Snake Rivers Mouth.
THE PLAN PROPOSED
Cut a Canal From the Bend of the River Through the
 SandSpit.

Capt. T. l.. Morgan, who has had years of experience on the Mississippi river, says that the suggestion made by THE NUGGET to ask congress for an appropriation for making small har- bor out of the mouth of Snake river is in the right line. Capt Morgan fur ther states that the proposition is en- tirely feasible, and he figures the ex- pense at approximately $l30,000. The plan he suggests is to cut channel or canal through the sandspit at the bend of the river above the bridge. The cut would be piled and thoroughly ce- mented with Portland cement, and it would, when completed, withstand any storm that might rage. The river in side the cut could be easily dredged, Capt. Morgan says, and thus an en- tirely safe harbor for small steamers, barges and other small craft would be provided.
 Something of this kind is absolutely necessary. The mouth of Snake river is continually changing, but if the work suggested above were carried to completion this would be Obviated and the mouth would be kept in a perma- nent place. The growing importance of Nome, says Capt. Morgan, makes early action absolutely necessary, and he suggests that the senatorial com mittee, now expected, be taken over the ground so that they may view it for themselves. Capt. Morgan's esti- mate of the cost is as follows:
 1000 barrels Portland cement. 5000 4.OOO piles 32,O00 xcavating canal l.........:,. 1000 Labor on concrete ......................" 2S,OOO Labor on pile driving ...... ..:....... 3O,OOO

 An Expression of Sympathy.
 Always in the presence of Death, those who are near and dear to the dead are bowed with sorrow, and their |-hearts are numb and bruised. But
 when the end comes without warning, and such a catastrophe as visited Nome Sunday. morning, July 3, when, the f flames fenped up and envetoped the Golden Gate bOtel, destroying not only fmuchiprOperty, but the lives of Mir. and Mrs. +. M. Hayes and MT. Sherman D. Gregg, of 'ittsburg, Pa..

Therefore. the people of Nome, actu- ated by the impu,1e that stirs Humanity on such occasions, offer the follOwing: We deeply deplore the disaster of ] last Sunday, and extend our sympathy to the bereaved families aud Friends. l They will understand the inadequacy of
 words to express the emotions aroused | by such tragic occurrence, but we want them to know, that although we
 are thousands of miles away and on the border of civilization, our sympathies are not dulled by the strenuous life of
 the Arctic region, but rather, sharpened by the perils of blizzards and tempeS-
 tuOus seas and the sense of our isolation
 and separation from former homes. We commend the beeaved to Him,
 'who doeth all things we'll" Their re-
 ligion must be the main source of con1- fort in their sorrow. Some of the laws of the Infinite are inscrutabfe to finite
 minds, but let us believe and hope that
 from the vantage ground of higher
