That he could pull With his ncxile blade;
And whether twas calm or the npples broke

Lack of Coal.

Walter j. Wells, of Nelson gulch, In

been three years in that section and he
predicts a great future for it. a great
drawback this winter has been the lack
of coal for mining purposes. The de-
mand has far exceeded the supply.
principally because of the lack of feed
for the horses engaged in hauling the
coal from Chicago creek. Mi3,ol Bros,

A TIN
SHELTER
To Be Erected on Buck
Creek Next Summer.
CAPACITY, 20 TONS
The Seward Peninsula Tin Mining
Co. Will Treat Their Own and
Custom Ore as Well.

a tin-smelting plant, with a capacity
of treating 20 tons of ore daily, will be
erected early next spring on Buck
creek, Cape York district, by the
Seward Peninsula Tin Mining Com
pany. corporation formed this winter
in New York state. The principal pro-
moter is a. A. Fargo. a New York cap
italist, who was in Nome last year.
d. w. Walker, who is also interested
in the company, left Thursday for York.
where he will have everything in readi-
ness for spring operations.
The Seward Peninsula Tin Mining
Company have extensive tin placer
holdings on Buck and other creeks in
the York section. The smelter, be-
sides treating the ore mined from the
company's claims. will also do custom
work, and it is expected that next sea-
son many tons of tin ore will be treated
at the company's smelter.
While the smelter plant will not be
large or expensive, it is expected that
its erection will give considerable i'm
pttuS to placer tin mining in York dis
trict, No time will be lost upon the
opening of navigation to get it in
operation. and the probability is that
the smelter will be kept comparatively
busy during the summer season.
The company will bring in its own
teams, and the ore from the different
creeks will be hauled to the smelter
The prices charged for treatment will
not be exOrbitant, and individual claim
owners will thus be given the oppor-
tunity to realize substantial results
from their holdings.

NO LIMIT
TO The ORE.
The Hurrah Quartz Mine a Sure
Winner.-DrOpping Stamps
"a Hours Daily.

"There doesn't seem to be any limit
to the ore in the Hurrah Quartz mine, {"
said S. G. Gale yesterday. Mr.. Gale
returned recently from visit to the
Solomon country. He spent week at
the quartz nine and he is enthusiastic
over the outlook. Forty tons of ore are
being mined daily, and the mill is
crushing thirty tons. And the ore is
rich. The ten stamps are running "a
hours every day, and there has been no
cessation in their dropping all winter
long. The mill is thoroughly equipped
in every way and the conveniences for
the workman are strictly up to date
Gasoline engines are used as the
motive power. gasoline being found to
be cheaper than coal. Water enough
for milling purposes is obtained direct
~ from the mine. A concentrator and
"a cyanide plant will probably be put in
this year. About IS men are employed
in the mill and mine at the present
time.
