PREPARING
 TO SLU|CE Big Dumps on Dexter
 and Other Hills. WAITING FOR WATER Work of Past Winter on Dexter and Vicinity Evidenced
 by Big Dumps.
WAITING FOR WATER

Dexter Creek, April l3.-The time has come which to most of us seems the most tlresome of the year; that is, to wait. This is between the closing down of the mines for the winter and the coming of the waters to wash up the dumps. The old Spanish proverb puts 1t rightly. which says: "He who waits the coming rider travels twice as far as he.' So with this time in the spring sit and wait.
 The dumps testify to labor well per formed and time well employed. The claim for largest dumps on Dexter seems to lie between the Gambrinus and the Snowflake, with the former probably a few shades ahead, though the mOnstrous man-made mountain on the Lena also might claim to be one of the big three. The Sugar will prob ably win the trophy if they continue at their present rate
 On Dry creek, Denhart, Niebuhr and Nixon easily carry off the laurels with a large group of rich dumps, a fitting testimonial of a winter fully occupied. The Bowery, Sugar. Snowflake and Lena are still working, while James O'Brien, on the Gambrinus. has finish ed, and is preparing to sluice. Wm. Dettering, better known as "Cariboo Bill, has increased his force, and has d large dump out.
 Fred Grimm and partners, who have lay on the Daisy, have struck it rich Only today Ira Orton. one of the own CTS, took an unpicked pan which showed S5. 20. The famous Matte has also had the pleasure of finding large pay-streak.
 J. C. Barker is preparing to sluice on the Surprise.
 On the Summit bench, recently ope- rated by Shuler and Black. the owners find anywhere from S25 to three ounces on bedrock. and are working day and night.
 Connolly. Leach and Dugean on Dry creek, will work all summer, or as long as conditions are favorable. Ed John son and the Pioneer Co.,. on No. , Dry are hauling pipe from the the left fork of Dexter, and are putting things in readiness for sluicing.
 Taken all in all. the season has been an unusually promising one. and the hills adjacent to Nome will "a golden tale unfold" before the arrival of the boats, and another chapter will have been added to the growing list of Alas kan prosperity.

That Section Looks For
 Prosperous Season.
WAITING FOR WATER
The Building of a Ditch From Can. yOn Creek Will Open Up
 Many Claims.

Jack Sullivan, who returned to Gold Run Thursday afternoon, told re- porter for THE NUGGET that the coun- try up in that district would from now on forge to the front. MT. Sullivan said II am down to Nome at the pres ent time getting supplies ordered as per letter of instructions from Mr. Has, kins, a partner of mine, who is out in the States organizing company to construct a ditch from Canyon creek, over the low divide at the head of Boulder creek and down into Gold Run. Mir. Haskins has written me that the ditch will be constructed during the present season and to get everything ready at this end of the line, by the most important piece of news for that section, as all have been waiting the outcome of ditch being put through. From now on things will pick up and when water is once delivered to the claims in the Bluestone district, it will prove to be one of the best paying dis tricts on Seward peninsula.
 During the past winter very little work has been going on in the district, and most all of the work has been con fined to Gold Run, Alder and Boulder creeks. Alder will prove winner when they get water, and the benches of Gold Run all show good prospects where work has been done. During the past winter quite little prospecting has been going on in the vicinity of Boulder creek. One of the holes put down this winter ran into a body of sand some twenty feet deep about seventy feet below the creek. It re- sembled the bottom of an ocean, for clam shells and other specimens of mollusks were found scattered through out the bed of sand.
 "Chas. Voigt has been doing some prospecting during the past month, and fixing up the corner stakes of his claims, but will start for the tin mines at Cape York and Lost river, upon my return. Oscar Durand and Mir. Baptiste are prospecting their claims with a steam thawer. Gordon Strange and two other men are prospecting property they own up there, and several owners are expected up during the next few weeks to look after their claims

RAILROAD WORK
 THIS SEASON
The Council City & Solomon River Railroad Will be Rushed
 to Completion.

Information received recently is to the effect that the Council City X Solo, mon River railroad will be pushed to completion the coming teason. A let ter received few days ago from J. Warren Dickson, general manager of the company. is to the effect that the cOmpanys finances are in good shape. and that as soon as spring has opened up, the work of grading and tracklay- ing will be resumed with great vigor. Mr. Dickson will arrive in Nome on one of the first steamers.
 It is the intention of the company to complete the line to Council with all possible speed, and it is believed that by Sept l, next, through trains will be running from Solomon to the inland town. Concerning the proposed line from Nome to connect with the Council City X Solomon road at or near Shovel creek, nothing definite has been heard, but it is also believed that the branch will be completed this year.
 Down at Solomon, or Dickson City. the coast terminus of the road. prepa- ratiOns have been begun for the sum- mers work under the direction of Arthur Wheeler, the companv's repre- sentative.

From a Trip in the Roy.
 ukuk Country.
LOOKED FOR MIDAS
The Creek of Duncan and Griggs, But Failed to Locate It-=
 Will Return.

N. G. Davidson, who in company with Mike McCarty left Nome Decem- Der last to search for the mysterious Midas creek, has just returns1 after a severe and difficult trip, covering many hundreds of miles.
 To d NUGGET representative Mr. Davidson said: We left here last De- cember by way of the Yukon, gong up the kOyukuk river and striking off into the country west of the koyukuk. We failed to find the creek we were in search of, but my belief in it is still unshaken, and l am going to return to that section when navigation opens. We found evidences of the camping grounds of Duncan and Griggs, which proves that they were in that country. The formation is very favorable, being mca schlst, with plenty of iron. We came over the divide to the mission at kotzebue sound to replenish our food supplies, from whence McCarty re- turned to continue the search, while | came on to Nome.
 The first part of our trip was through granite belt. but when our food got short we had just entered the mica schlst and iron formation, which looks good to me. We also found good wash gravel on the surface. Aside from Midas creek, it is country worth prospecting.
 ''It has been beautiful winter in the koyukuk country, the snow fall having been very light. We had cold spell in January, however, which lasted ten days, which was the most severe have ever known. Five of our dogs were frozen tiff while on the trail, and We personally suffered very much"

NEW BANK
 FOR NOME

Seattle, Feb. g. Eastern capitalists, it is stated, are looking toward Nome as good place to establish a savings bank and trust company. The proposi- tion is said to be backed by Rhode Island capital, some of the promoters being already interested in Nome min ing properties.
 Another story is to the effect that q number of Seattle and Montana men will apply for charter to open a na- tional bank in Nome next spring. If they conclude to do so, it will probably be made government depositary.
