THE COMING SEASON.
produce.

The coming summer season gives every evil
dence of being prosperous one for Nome in par
ticular and the Seward peninsula in general.
With the incoming fleet of steamers from the
States there came many representatives of large
capital, who will investigate and proceed forth
with to exploit our varied mineral resources.
bitches already begun will be completed, and new
ones begun. The work of railroad building, al
ready we'll under way, will be vigorously prose
cuted this summer.
With bitches for carrying the necessary water
for mining purposes and railroad lines projecting
into the now isolated sections of the peninsula,
insuring cheap and speedy transportation of sup
plies and machinery, it is an easy matter to
prophesy great future in the development of
the mineral wealth of the Seward peninsula.

Among the
PrOspectors

DR.. Georges benches on Triple, ly-
ing near the mouth, are being opened
up by laymen.
F.. M. Lang has been prospecting his
bench off of No. 2 below, on Anvil,
right limit, and finds good prospects.
Much prospecting has been going on
in the hills and on many of the creeks
during the past winter, which has been
an ideal one for this purpose.
On the "Wonder' bench claim, off of
3 below on Buster creek, left limit,
Jack Hagerty and Pete Cavanaugh
have been prospecting during the past
winter.

Ed Haynes are prospecting with a

On Quartz gulch, small tributary
and CHS. JOtten have punched many
holes to bedrock, and demonstrated
their property to be fine hydraulic

The Buster Creek Hydraulic & Gold
Mining Co. have been operating two
steam thawers in prospecting their
ground. which consists of bench claims
on the left limit of Buster from off No.
below discovery down to the mouth.
On No. 6 Dexter, owned by S. Siljan
and s. Sveidrup, Jacob Sveidrup, who
was in charge of the property during
the winter, sank shaft in the creek
bed 10 feet, but failed to get bedrock
on account of water. Prospects were
found at the depth attained.
On No. 4 above, on Holyoke, owned
by the Nome-Anvil Mining & Trading
Co., extensive prospect work has been
done by L. N. Bondry, B. Laurin, w.
N. Sutten and c. w. Beed. Bedrock
varied from forty-ffve to sixty feet,
and was of mica schist and limestone
formation. Prospects were found. A
thawer was used.
John McCOol has been. doing good
work the past winter in the develop
ment of his bench claim, which is off
of No. 3, Lillian, left limit. Mr.. Nc
Cool found fine prospects on his bench
last summer, but was bothered with
water to such an extent that it was inn
possible to work the ground. The past
winter he drove 7OIfoot tunnel
through solid rock. being the rim rock
of the creek, in order to secure drain
age for his mine, which he will now be
able to operate.

n EACH MINING is still carried on
n toa considerable extent in the
vicinity of Nome, and while of
course the richer sands have been
washed out and possibly the greater por-
ton of the gold extracted, there yet re-
mains sufficient to justify working, if
the miner be equipped with proper
machinery. Given this, he will ''clean
up" much better than the prevailing
summer wage of s. per day.
The successful beach miners plant
usually consists of % b. p. engine
gasoline or coal oil-and pump to raise
the sea water into his set of sluice
boxes. This little pumping plant al
lows him to handle much more sand
and gravel than under the old system
of rocking. Rocking is alright where
the paystreak is very rich and thin and
under some four or five feet of sand,
but where the gold permeates the sand
from top to bottom. or is found in diff
ferent stratas, necessitating the wash
ing of practically all Of the sand, the
sluicing method is the only practical
one. The rocker, then, must give way
to the sluice box if the beach miner
would obtain the best results from his
labor, although under the rocker sys-
TEN 81 and 50 per day may still be made
in many places along the beach.
During the past winter quite a few
beach dumps were taken out near the
Standard Oil Co. S warehouses. and al
so below the old graveyard west Of
town. These have been washed up
and Melted the miners a small winter
wage, averaging some S2 or 50 per day.
During the coming summer, the
beach lying between Quartz creek and
Sinrock river, west of Nome some
twenty to thirty miles, will be the prin-
cipal field of operations for the plant"
miners-those owning d sluicing equip

the 'plant" men are concerned, and
they expect to do quite we'll there.
The ''plapt" men have organized a

and peace. They have staked beach
