exploiting::the legitimate resources of Seward peninsula, consistent with careful business judgment.
 It is a matter of much satisfac- tion to miners of the Nome gold fields to know that place of absolute safety for their gold dust may be found within the vaults of the Alaska Banking X Safe Depos- 1t Co.,, and it is matter of daily occurrence to see hardy miners with rokes contain ng gold dust valued at thousands of dollars vending their way to this inslilu- tion, and turning the fruits of thelr labor over to the bank for safe keeping, in the knowledge that it is secure.
 During the past three winters, MT. c. G. Cowden, the cashier, has been in charge of the bank. Mir. Cowden is city treasurer of Nome, and is also interested in valuable mining properties.
 The banks assaying department is under the skilled hands of Mr. Eugene E. Allies, who has had a large experience in this line of work. He was for years with the assaying department of the treas ury department at Washington, D. C., and before coming to Nome in 1900 to assume his present position he was with the Seattle assay office

Their fla cilities for shipping are unsurpass- ed, being located near the railroad depot, and also having a car track from their store and warehouses to the beach. Especial care is taken with outside orders, in order that the customer may secure just what he wants, thus avoiding annoying mistakes which lees careful shippers often make. The Ames Mercantile Go. make it point to fulfill mail order just the same as if the sender were here in person to select his goods. This reliable characteristic of the firm is largely responsible for their immense outside business.

AG|APUK DISTRICT

Larsen, a tributary of the right fork, IS one of the banner creeks of the country, and will be worked by Larsen the discovcrer. Wilkinson. Griffin, Peter Berry and Jack Davis and others.
 Willow, or Buffalo creek as it is sometimes known, is near the head of the right fork, and some pros- pecting has demonstrated It to be gold-bearing, and it is thought it will develop into pay creek.
 On the Arctic slope, known as the Shismareff country, are Dick, Eldorado, Bonanza, Hogum, Rein deer and Good Morning, all gold bearing streams.
 During the past winter Dick creek has been mined extensively and good pay was found. Thomp- son & Mcdonald worked No. above, with steam plant; Miletus & Babis mined on No. above with thawer, and others mined and prospected. It is considered a good creek.
 Eldoraoo creek also prospects well, the gold being found in white channel composed of decom- posed white quartz. There is about twelve feet of muck to go through on Eldorado before the gold bear ing gravel is reached. Float quartz found on this creek shows free gold. On Good Morning creek, tributa- ry of Eldorado, some Films have located quartz lead of free gold. During the winter strike was made on Hogum creek. The gold IS fine. An immense body of gravel is reported, impregnated with gold.
 Reindeer is tributary of Hogum and coarse gold has been found on it, but very little prospecting has been done.
 From the headwaters of the right fork of the Agiapnk down to Shovel creek, stream tin may be found. Float tin ore has also been found near the headwaters and it is thought probable that tin ore in place may be found in this country when more effectual prospect work have been done.
 The field is an inviting one, and there is room for hundreds of the right kind of prospectors. For fuel, willows are chiefly used, although peat is now being made and utilized by steam thawing plants to good advantage.

700 MIGRANTS DROWNED
DANISH STEAMER NoRoT, FROM
COPENHAGEN, SUNK.
Danish and Norwegian Passengers
Were Bound for the United states-
Only 27 Are Known to Be Saved
Steamer Had Run on a Reef 200
Miles or Coast Of Scotland.


London, July 4.-Over 700 Danish
and Norwegian emigrants. bound for
New York. are believed to have been
drowned in the North Atlantic on
June 2S.. Out Of nearly 500 souls on
board the Danish steamer Norge, that
left Copenhagen June %, only 81 are
known to be alive. and for the rest no
hope Is held out. When last seen, the
Norge was sinking where she struck
on the isle Of Rockall. where an isOlat-
ed peak rises from deadly Atlantic
reef. 290 miles OF the west coast OF
Scotland.
Particulars.
Particulars OF the wreck of the
Norge follow:
Early on the morning Of last Tues.
day, the Norge, which was out Of her
course in heavy weather, ran on the
Rockall reef, which at a distance looks
like ship under full sail. The Norge
was quickly backed of. but the heavy
seas poured in through a rent in her
bows.
The emigrants, who were then await.
ing breakfast below. ran on deck. The
hatchways we're scarcely built for
these hundreds Of souls and became
clogged.
The Norge quickly began to go down
by the rock. Eight boats were loaded
and the women and children were hur-
riedly put into them. Six of these
boats smashed against the side Of the
Norge and their helpless inmates were
caught by the heavy seas.
Three boat loads got safely away
from the side Of the sinking ship and
many Of the emigrants who were left
on board, seizing life belts, threw
themselves into the sea and were
drowned.
Captain Gundell. so say the surviv.
ors. stood on the bridge Of the doomed
vessel until 1t could be seen no more.
The Norge foundered suddenly and
some 600 terrified emigrants we're
thrown into the water or drawn down
with the sinking ship. Those who
could swim tried to reach the boats,
but these we're already too full and
their occupants beat of the drowning
wretches with oars.
The boats kept together for some
hours. Practically ali of their occu.
pants we're passengers and were not
used to handling such craft. The boat
occupied BY the survivors and which
landed At Grtmsby was a life boat.
The fate OF the other two boats is
unknown.
