To Open Mines
 Al Kodiak.

To develop free milling quartz claims on Kadiak island, F. A. Cornell, oi San Francisco, and R. H. Hancock, oi Boston, left Monday for the west on the Dora. They will make the round rip on the vessel and then return to seat tie. and on the mex. trip of he santa Ana will bring up ten- stamp mill to put in operation on property that they now control.
 Mir. Cornell. during an interview stated that they already had 300 feet of the claim in a state of devel- opment. This. he says, shows an excellent prospect, and a number of additional stamps may be put in operation as the work progresses.
 What is of more interest is the intention of MT. Cornell to take up a systematic examination of the entire island, make locations and secure a good idea of just what prospects there are in q mineral line. So far statements have been freely made that the place would develop into one of the hest paying mining camps on the entire Alas kan coast, and 1t is to prove or dis prove this theory that the investi- gation will be carried on.

Finds Ancient
 Glacier Channel.

A prehistoric glacial highway carrying gold has been discovered running across Alaska from the northern part of the Panama valley toward the Nome country. Sam Kincaid. who has just arrived in Dawson from Fairbanks, brings the news. He says:
 "An ancient channel of gravel crosses Alaska from the upper Tanana toward Nome and Boring sea. The channel seems to be the course of an ancient river, and is but few miles wide, but is we'll defined. I believe that in that channel gold will be found at a great many points, if not nearly everywhere, along its course. E.vi- dently that was an immense glacial highway, in which gold was depos- ited in prehistoric times.
 "A great deal of timber and water are available in the Delta country. The Delta country is vast gravel deposit and may prove big camp after the prospectOrs get in their work. George Dubois, a former Dawsonite, who has brother in Dawson, made a discovery on Por- tage creek, in the Delta country, which promises good. Four or five hundred men are Tn the Delta country. Tenderfoot is one of the new creeks.

PUDDY LOST FOOT GEAR
Tonopah Official Robbed While on His
Way to Reno

"Puddy' Grimes of Tonopah, re-
corder of Nye county, and one of the
most popular young men in the south
ern portion of the state, arrived IN
town last night and stepped from the
train without his shoes, hat or coat.
The fact is he was robbed on his way
to Reno. Near Nina he decided 20
sleep and took off his hat, shoes and
coat, laying them on the seat beside
him. While peacefully s~lumbering
some one more in need of the shoes ana
other wearing apparel took the little
package he had wrapped up and no one
witnessed the deed. Mr.. Grimes vas
near Hazen when he discovered the
crime, but stepped off the train like i
man and purchased a new outfit. He
continued on to California late last
night.
1t will be remembered that when Mr..
Grimes came out from Goldfeld several
months ago some unfeeling thief stole
his trousers from a Pullman berth. He
looks upon his i'll luck as one of the
vicissitudes of the life of a mining
man.-Carson News.

In an interview in q San Francisco
mining paper in reply to the query,
do you think that Tonopah and Gold
field will equal the Comstoeki" ]. p.
LOTUS, one of the principal owners of
the Sandstone mine of Goldfeld, said:
"Well, 1 think this can be said Of
Goldfeld. In many respects the dis
trict will surpass Tonopah. The atten-
tion of the mining people throughout
the world has been directed to the
camp, and the record of the past two
years, including the remarkable pro-
duction made from the Florence within
the last ninety days, will have a mark
ed tendency to establish an absolute
confidence in the future of the camp.
Very few know exactly what amount
of ore has been taken from the Flor
ence, but 1 think it is safe to say the
property has yielded close to a million
dollars during the current year. At
the close of the lease, those who were
operating the property left standing
enough to warrant the classification of
the Florence as a great mine, and one
which may possibly prove 100 times
greater than present developments
show. To some this may not be credi-
bic, but a precedent may be found in
the extraordinary successes that have
been recorded in the great gold camp
of Southern Nevada.
"About a year ago. continued Mr..
Lotus, 81 was up to the dumps of the
Jumbo, where 1 saw about $750,000
worth of ore in sacks. During the
leasing period the Jumbo produced at
least $1,500,000. Owing to a conten-
ton between the heaviest stockholders
of the company, which has involved the
property in an unfortunate lawsuit, the
Jumbo has been practically inactive
for the past five months. This is par
~ticularly unfortunate in it's bearing on
the district, in view of the fact that
with a production from this bonanza

approximate that of Cripple Creek.
Why the Jumbo should be so seriously
involved and production stopped it is
difficult to understand.
"Shortly before I left Goldfeld IN
June of last year some ore had been
found on what has been known as the
Sweeney lease on the Florence. I re-
turned to the district the following
August, and found that the Florence
was making a remarkable production.
By the Both of the following October
the ~lessees had taken out 100000
worth of ore.
"I have ar unquestioned opinion
that there are vast ore deposits in the
Red Top mine,' continued Mr.. LOTUS.

and / would judge that the amount Of
ore in sight will assure a production oe
upwards of half a million dollars, in
addition to 5000 or 1000 sacks of high
grade vein matter that is now on the
dump. In speaking of these things as
features, / desire only to point out
that Goldfield has no precedent in the
production of wealth, and one is not
going too far to say that the great gold
camp of Southern Nevada is assuredly
