money taken out Of Nome every year for
20 years; The output of gold ought to
irza~ ease yearly =, 49,. -.s..
This is the way J. J. Underwood, Of
Nome, sizes up the situation in the far
nOrthland. Mr.. Underwood returned re-
Gently from Nome, and has charge Of
the exhibit made by the enterprising
chamber Of commerce of the Seward
Peninsula metropolis, At the Lewis and
Clark fair.
Between last November and the first
Of June. the output of gold from the
Nome district amounted to 32.675.O0
continued Mr.. Underwood, "and it Il
likely that the output for the year 1905
will exceed that Of any previous year.
The summer season, regularly of 100
days, has been shortened by some 80
days this year because Of bad storms,
but the. unusual amount brought out
during the winter, and the use of ex-
pensive machinery on a number Of
claims this summer will bring the total
above that, Of any previous year."
Mr.. Underwood talks interestingly of
the future Of winter mining, which, he
says, was carried on extensively for the
first time last winter, and proved decid-
cdly practicable. Indeed, in some mines.

streak, winter mining is more econom-
ical, bcause there is less danger of the
mine caving in or being flooded by water
from melting snow. When the ground is
frozen solid, it may be tunneled with
comparative ease, and it is not neces-
sary to board up the shaft. AS timber is
worth. $40 a thousand feet in Nome. this
latter feature is-one of no small i'm
portance.
Mr.. Underwood talks Interestingly
of the way winter mining is carried on
Every mine is equipped with boiler,
and a hose which carries the steam to
the mine. Attached to the end of the
hose is long piece of steel pipe, drawn
to point, and perforated with two
holes short distance back of the point.
The steel pipe, or nozzle, is driven into
the bank, by means of q sledge, and
when the steam is turned on the gravel
is thawed out for three or four feet in
all directions. Workmen shovel the
gravel and dirt into large buckets, which
are dumped near the mouth of the mine.
Samples are taken frequently and the
amount of gold is ascertained, so that it
is possible at any time to estimate the
value Of the dump where the pay dirt is
deposited. In the spring the dump is

Of peacock feathers set in gold, and
others had very big gilt maces in their

the door, the viceroy got up and walk
ed to the middle of the room to meet
him, shook hands with him, and mo-
toned him to a chair ON his right,
while his followers took lower places
ON the same side. The maharajah's
dress was green and gold. After =
short conversation the maharjah's at
tendants are presented to the viceroy,
and each one holds out to him one
gold mohur; which he touches, thus
politely expressing, You may keep it
though you are so anxious to give it

tendants bring in two vessels; one
containing altar Of roses, the other
something wrapped up in silver and
