PIONEER MINING co;

Born and cradled near the arctic circle, it is now known everywhere. The work of developing this section, then begun, has been steadily continued. The holdings of the corporation have been increased from year to year: inn proved methods of mining have been adopted: ditch systems have been ac- quired, and today this company stands without any possible rival in mining development in this section of Alaska.
 In other ways, too, has the Pioneer Company been enterprising. To the original members of this company Nome owes its excellent water supply, brought from Moonlight Springs as we'll as it's electric lighted streets and business houses. In it's treatment of the public the company has always pursued a liberal policy, as is fully evidenced by the record that has stood untarnished throughout the existence of the cor poration and it's founders.
 The operations of the Pioneer Con- pany, as already stated, will be carried on in an extensive manner this season, and a large output of gold dust will undoubtedly result.

IN AN ISSUE of this kind it is not
 necessary to enter into either his
 tory or biography. If this edition of THE NUGGET were for what is called bloom" purposes, for want of better name, tamboyant language and ornate terms might be used in telling of the wonderful resources of Seward penin- sula and in predicting its future. EX- aggeration, that bane of modern life, and publications, therefore have been expurgated as far as possible from these columns. A picture, incomplete though it may be, of the recent past and what has been accomplished only has been presented.
 It is fitting, however, that a brief space be devoted to the early mining history of this section. Early is the term, but it dates back to less than six years ago, when those hardy pioneers of the NOrthland, Jafet Lindeberg, Eric O. Lindblom, John Brynteson and a few others first discovered gold on Anvil creek. The history of these adventurous men, though brief has been remarkable. They lived the life of the pioneer in all its rugged inten- sity, and they won out early in the bat tie. To many people, not conversant with the facts, the success of these men is denominated luck It was no such thing. It was rather the legitimate result of pluck and indomitable per severance. Jafet Lindeberg, now pres ident of the Pioneer Mining Co.,, sank 12 holes to bedrock on the formers Anvil creek discovery claim before he struck pay. He was growing sick with Encouragement and repeated failure when in the bottom of the twelfth hole that he had sunk to bedrock he found nine dollars to the pan. That was not the result of luck, but of hard. persist ent work-work not abandoned because success was slow in making its appear ance.
 Thus began the real mining history of Seward peninsula. A history that is marked by suffering and privation not known today, though little more than five years have elapsed since the first pick was stuck in a gold bearing creek.
 The Pioneer Mining Company, the original incorporators of which are named above, thus sprang into life.

Future of the
 Reindeer Industry

%HE reindeer industry of Northwest
 ern Alaska cannot be said to have
 - achieved remarkable success, al. though number of years have elapsed since domestic reindeer were introduc. ed. The fault probably lies mainly in the management. It may be set down as fact that the natives, for whose benefit the deer were intended, have not been benefited as a whole class. There are, however, quite a number of individual instances where natives have acquired reindeer, after serving the al- lotted time as herders. These natives arc self-supporting and are gradually acquiring comfortable independence.
 MT. I. L, Osgood, who made 800. mile trip last April and May with reindeer, was much impressed with their usefulness. He says: "I find that in the hands of an American with good horse sense reindeer are suc- cess. One does not need to pack feed or cook it on the trail, as extensive areas of this section furnish abundance of the moss upon which the animals subsist. l drove my reindeer over 500 miles and they wore in as good cOndi. tion ct the end of the trip as at the start. gave them couple of hands.

Fritchie, a dump of 10000 buckets was taken out as result of the winters work. It averaged so cents per bucket.
 No. 5, Ophir creek, owned by the Wild Goose Mining and Trading Co.,, was worked under lease by Thomas Lewis and Hugh Donohue. They took out o,ooo buckets of pay, which gave them 50 cents per bucket.
 No. 4, Ophir, owned by Thomas Dwyer, was operated by Morris & Tyler, who took out 1000 buckets. The average pay was 50 cents per bucket.
 The Black fraction, adjoining No. I below discovery on Ophir, was operated by Black, and he took out 5000 buckets of fine pay dirt, the average being about 75 cents per bucket.
 The De Soto Co. are operating dredg- CT at the mouth of Ophir.
 The Wild Goose Mining and Trading Go. have leased Nos. and ? below dls- covery on Ophir from the Northern Light Mining Co.,, and are completing the erection of an incline on the upper end of below. The ground is rich. No. 2 below will be worked with hydraulic lift.
 F.. R. Dunn is placing hydraulic pipe on the left limit of Ophir, his intention being to pipe into Hume on No. above.
 This summers operators on Ophir will include Guinan & Soderberg, E. K. Dunn, Dr. Cabell Whitehead, O'Shaugh- messy & Morris, and others.
 Crooked and Sweetcake creeks are rich producers, and will be extensively mined this summer. On Melsing, Elkhorn, Mystery and along Fox river, much min ing and prospecting will also be done. Warm creek and Gold Bottom prospect quite well, and may turn out to be good producers.

THE COUNCIL CITY DISTRICT

OUNCIL CITY is the oldest placer
 mining camp on Seward peninsula,
 being established in 'oS at the time of the discovery of the now famous Ophir creek. A perfect townsite drains itself, densely timbered 10 the waters of the Neukluk, upon whose banks it is sit uated. Since the days of the old Dusty Diamond outfit and the more fortunate P. C. Co. (Pioneer Commercial Company this town has been the point of supply and distribution for many gold produc- ing creeks.
 Ophir creek fittingly named, has con- tributed the major portion of the suste- nance to the town; and from present indications few more seasons will wit ness a most Aourishing condition of affairs.
 Recent exploiting has developed new deposits of pay in sufficient quantity for successful operation. In many places it has been but generally supposed that a pay streak existed-the past winter work has confirmed the supposition. The gold of Ophir creek is uniformly distributed, of high grade and extends in many claims from rim to rim.
 The Wild Goose Mining and Trading Company is most extensive in its hold ings and operation. The millions it has already taken from the ground have gone back into it, and the next five years will surely see them trebled twice over The big ditch which extends from the head of Ophir to discovery, already supplies the immense water pressure necessary to operate several hydraulic lifts at the upper end of the creek; and from the hundreds of cords of timber hauled to the lower end of Ophir this winter, it is req sonable to suppose that gigantic moves are in contemplation.

has mile of the best property on the creek, extending from discovery to No. 4 below. Its modus operandi is not quite on the scale of the Wild Goose Company, but however, extensive enough to assure the stockholders of a considerable an nuity.

Among the most reliable of the busi- ness houses of Nome is that of Ern X Co.,, on the Sandspit. This house was established in 1899, and has been con- ducted continuously since that time. Capt. Ern, the principal, during his residence here, has established an enviable reputation for business integ- rity, and it will be with regret that his many friends will learn that he has de- cided to retire from business in Nome and return to his old home in St. Louis. Nome has no more loyal, enterprising and honest citizen than Capt. J. R. Ern.

HAVE. ACHIEVED
 GREAT SUCCESS

The Northwestern Commercial Com. pany, the youngest of the great com mercial corporations of this section of Alaska, is today the leader. The com. pany began business in Nome and Tel Ter in 1900, and their operations have been gradually extended, and an im- mense business has been built up through careful business methods. Identified with the Northwestern Com mercial Co. is the Northwestern Steam ship Co.,, which last winter purchased the palatial China-Japan steamers Vic- toria, Olympia and Tacoma, and they were placed upon the Nome-Seattle route this spring.
 Last year the Northwestern Company handled 30,0O0 tons of freight from Pa citic coast ports, and it is anticipated that this year that amount will be ex- ceeded by 10000 tons.
 The Northeastern Siberia Co.,, which holds extensive concessions on the Si- berian coast, is also operated in con- nection with the Northwestern, al- though a separate and distinct corpora tion.
 The president of the Northwestern Commercial Co. and managing director of the Northeast Siberia Co. is MT. John Rosene: Mir. Geo. T. Williams is vice president of the Northwestern Co.,, and is also president of the North Coast Lighterage Co.,; Col. w. T. Perkins is the auditor of the Northwestern.
