THE BANK OF
 CAPE NOME
A Prosperous and Substantial
 Banking Institution.

The Bank of Cape Nome was estab- lished in this city during the sum- mer of 1900, the leading spirits in the formation of the concern being James D. Hoge. Jr., the well known capitalist and president of the Union Savings and Trust Co.,, of Seat- tie; Sol. G. Simpson, the millionaire lumberman of Puget Sound, and N. B. SOlner, who came to Nome as the banks manager and has since retained this responsible position.
 Since it's inception, the business of the bank has steadily increased in vol tune and importance, until now it Is possessed of every facility for the pur- pose of carrying on general banking business.
 The Bank of Cape Nome is housed in fine office quarters, comparing most fa- vorably in appearance with similar in- stitutiOns in fourishing communities on the outside.
 A most important adjunct of the banks business is the assaying depart ment. Since the organization of the bank, this branch has been under the direction of R. E. Trengove, an assayer of wide experience and ability. Re- Ccutiv mbuy Cubuk0S onu "uuoiOno have been made to the assay plant, to expedite the constantly growing busi- ness in this line, with the result that the Bank of Cape Nome now has at the disposal of miners and prOspectors an assay plant capable of assaying .prac' tically all minerals and metals of com mercial value. thus rendering it un. necessary to send sample ores and rocks to the outside to get correct re- turns. The assay office is especially busy at this time of the year in treat ing the gold dust taken from the mines during the winter.
 During the absence of MT. SOlner, who wlntered on the outside. Mr. Trengove has been in charge of the banks affairs, which are in a most nourishing and substantial condition.

THE HURRAH TINE.

"Ihe Hurrah mine has been de veloped more than any other on the peninsula. It is located on tn, south bank of Hurrah creek, a, the mouth of Little Hurrah. It is the first quartz mine in this section where the vein has been found in place. The quartz was found to be gold-bearing from the surface. Af- ter sinking 16S feet three veins were found, two coming close to- gether, the third keeping parallel. These veins, which were traced from the surface to the present level 16S feet-run in northwest and southeast direction, parallel with the belt as before described.
 "The rock was found to be frozen to depth of 15O feet or more, and as soon as unfrozen rock was struck water came in so fast that a large pump was installed to keep the mine dry. It is proposed to increase the pumping capacity and sink to a deeper level. It is now believed that the main vein has been struck, with true walls; the wall towards the northeast is lime stone, and that towards the south west is slate, the one being a silic- ious limestone, free milling, but some refractory ore is also found.
 "A ten-stamp mill has been run ming continuously y for about a year, and the output of gold has been large, though the actual produc tion has not been given out. This mill is operated in the summer sea- son by water power, and in winter by gasoline engines, heated by steam. Water used for the mill operations is led through pipes from the pump in the mine, there by avoiding the necessity of wells or taking water from the creek. The shaft house is d quarter of a mile from the mill and the ore is taken to the mill in ore cars on a narrow guage track. The capacity of the mill will te immediately doubled, which indicates the con fidence the owners-Mrs. Chas. D. Lane and Tom T. Lane, her son have in the mine. The entire plant is lighted by electricity, gen erated by dynamos connected with the gasoline engines.
 OTHER QUARTZ CLAIrlS.
 A number of other quartz claims have been staked on what is pre- stunned to be the extension of the same ledge, and although no deep shafts have been sunk on any of these properties, the mineral-bear- ing rock found assays very high and shows free gold to the naked eye. The veins are in place but the true walls have not been found Among the quartz claim owners may be mentioned, M. J. Sullivan, Robert Ford, C. E. Hoxsie, T. J. Vallier, and a number of others. On the claim owned by Mr. Hoxsie considerable work has been done with promising results and Mir. Sullivan and partners will spend

$10,00O this season in developing their property.
 Proceeding further in a north west direction, towards Iron creek, gold-bearing quartz, or mineral bearing rock, has been found giv- ing assays in gold, but little real mining has been done, and tho rock has been taken from or near the surface.
 "The other belts - Ophir and Bear creek-have not been devel. oped 10 any extent, but surface prospects have been found which indicate mineral-bearil.g rock.
 "The Sawtooth range contains much quartz and in places it can be seen in lodges, although the rock on both sides seems to be the same. The quartz is hungry-look- ing, but with development, miner al-bearing veins will no doubt be found. The Sawtooth range is really the extension of the Topkok
 TIN ORE.
 "Most of the tin ore that has been taken to the States has been of the kind known as placer or stream tin, from the York district, and the range of mountains run ming easterly from Cape Prince of Wales. The rock found in place, containing stringers of tin ore, is mostly in granite formation. No genuine vein has as yet been dis covered, except, perhaps, on Lost river, York district, where consd- erable work was done on a claim the past winter. A group of claims there has been bonded by Idaho capitalists. and large amount of development work will be done this season.
 "The Barrels Tin Co.,, which also has extensive holdings in York district, will also do a large amount of work, and the creeks which car ry stream tin will also be worked on more extensive scale than ever before.
 ''The tin stringers which are found in quantities in the section named will undoubtedly be follow ed by the prospectors to their source, even if it is to a deep level, and their reward will probably be lodges of the mineral.
 "Tin has been discovered in streams, or placers, not only in York district, but also in streams heading in the Sawtooth range, and in the headwaters of the Ser pentine river and adjacent creeks on the west side The placer gold mined on Old Glory creek Inma- chuk) contains large percentage of tin.
 "So little development of quartz tin has been done that no decided | opinion can be given as yet on this subject, but the prospects are most encouraging, and it rests with the miner to uncover the treasures if any are to be found"
 Many other minerals have been found on Seward peninsula, but, with the exception of graphite, none in commercial quantities, perhaps principally for the reason that no real development or even prospecting work has been done. There are vast lodges of graphite in several localities, the most promis- ing, perhaps, being found in the Sawtooth range.

OTHER BELTS, PERHAPS.

There may be other mineral belts but they are not visible 10 the eye along the surface of the ground so far as investigation has shown.
 ROCK IN PLACE.
 Commencing with the Nome belt, rock in place has been uncov- cred in a number of localities, and it has been found to assay well, and in several instances carries gold visible to the naked eye with in few feet of the surface.
 "As general rule the rock found is heavily mineralized, the forma. tion being 'stringers' with kidneys all running parallel and perpendic- ular to the general direction of the belt, that is, in a northeasterly and southwesterly course, and it will be probably found that these string ers' at lower level will come to- gether and form the main vein.
 QUARTZ DEVELOPMENT.
 "In the Nome district develop ment work has not been done to any great depth, the principal work having been done by J. D. Leed y on the divide between Anvil creek and Snow gulch, and by H. H. Clark and others on the east side of the latter gulch. Mir. Leedy sank to a depth of 45 feet and MT. Clark to 27 feet, and quartz stringers were found as be- fore mentioned, gold being visible; pieces being found in the rock of cent or two in value, and the pull verized rock has shown values as high as 50 and 75 cents in the pan. In bedrock on the Hot Air claim on Glacier creek fairly good quartz has been found, which shows good assays The Pioneer Mining Co. has ledge of free mill ing gold on Rock creek, the forma- tion being as before-s stringers only. A tunnel was run for a considera- ble distance last winter, and good assays were obtained from the rock. Geo. V. Borchsenius has couple of quartz claims between Rock and Lindblom creeks. A shaft which was sunk to depth of 20 feet showed the rock to be heavily min eralized and it assays high.
 Some encouraging development work has also been done on Twin Mountain creek, Snake river, but owing to an accident in the tunnel, by which one of the owners was killed, work has not been prosecut- ed for some time. What other prospecting which has been done is of minor importance, and it has been carried on by prospectors in a small way. It takes money to do prospecting. The veins, as a rule. do not come to the surface, and be- ing in limestone formation, water will be the most serious drawback to be encountered and large pumps will be required for deep shafts. The gold found in the quartz, to judge from the placer diggings, is of various colors and values.

QUARTZ OF SEWARD PENINSULA

nUARTZ mining is yet in it,
 infancy on Seward peninsula
 yet the work already done has demonstrated the existence of true Assure veins.
 The only quartz mine that is be. ing worked is the .Hurrah mine on Hurrah creek, in the Solomon river district. It was only discovered a couple of years ago, but for the past year a ten-stamp mill has been steadily crushing ore. And the ore is rich. Ten additional stamps will be added to the mill this summer.
 THE NUGGET is indebted to Ar thur Gibson, c. E., who is also a mineralogist of repute, for the fol- lowing concerning the mineral belts of Seward peninsula. He states:
 FOUR MINERAL BELTS.
 "There are four mineral belts on Seward peninsula and they can be traced according to the courses of the present creeks carrying gold. The first commences at Nome and extends to within half mile of Cape Nome, and is from two to four miles wide in places, the average width being one and half miles. It extends in nOrthwesterly di- rection, crossing Hastings creek, Nome river below the mouth of Os- born creek, and crosses all the smaller creeks, Dexter, Newton, Glacier, Anvil, Snow gulch, Rock creek, Lindblom, Balto, etc., cross ing Snake river at Bangor creek; thence across Nugget gulch, on Or egon creek and Cripple river. This course carries it in the direction of Gold Run, and it's possible exten- sion will be on the other side of Port Clarence bay.
 THE SECOND BELT.
 "The second belt commences at Topkok, and also runs in north westerly direction, parallel with the first belt, crossing Spruce creek, Solomon river and tributaries, Big Hurrah, Shovel, Kasson, etc., and the headwaters of the Casadepoga, Iron creek and Pilgrim river. and running to the Sawtooth range, where it may be cut off, but it probably extends further.
 THE THIRD BELT.
 "The third mineral belt crosses Ophir creek, in the Council City district. Where it begins cannot be told with any certainty. It also extends in a northwesterly direc- ton, paralelling the first and sec ond belts, to the Kuzitrin and Nox- apaga rivers. Turner and Boulder creeks, the headwaters of the Kou- garok, and the headwaters of the Serpentine, Dick, and other creeks.
 THE FOURTH BELT.
 "The fourth belt begins at Bear creek, tributary of the Buckland river, crosses the Keewalik river and Candle creek, the Kugruk riv- CT, Inmachuk and Rex creeks, ter minating in Good Hope bay.
