One of the most useful bulletins ever published by the United States geolog- ical survey was the geographic Gic- tionary of Alaska compiled by the late Marcus Baker. The first edition, brought out in 1902, proved so valuable to map makers, writers and editors that it was soon exhausted. A new edition has recently been compiled by MT. James Mccormick and will soon be ready for distribution as bulletin No. 299.
 It is rather strange that the Nome climite should be supposed by those on the outside to be a severe one, es- pecially in view of the fact that when people were freezing to death in the Kansas blizzards, the residents of Nome-or at least great many ofthem were dancing in the Eagle hall with the doors and windows wide open and with no heat in the room. While the blizzard ragged in Kansas, the Nome climate felt as sultry as a hot day in the Jayhawker state.
 A party of prospectors from Nome visited St. Lawrence Island during the past summer, and on their return to Nome they reported find that gave mute evidence of terrible suffering and death endured by tribe of the native people of that far Northland. They state that at a point about seventy miles south of the present settlement, they came across the skeletons of tribe of natives who perished from hunger and famine nearly twenty years ago. The 15O skeletons bore grim testimony to the suffering which the natives must have endured at that time Some of them were found in their igloos, and others were found on the trails on the tundra. In the latter cases their spears and hunting knives were found by their sides. The natives at that time had no firearms, and many bows and arrows and other primitive weapons were found by the prospectors.
 The St. Michael reservation and Un- alaklik Indians have all stampeded to the north fork of the Unalaklik river, where they have made bona flde dis covery of placer gold. The whites have attempted to locate in the same local ity, but have been unable to do so ow- ing to the thorough manner in which MT. Indian has conducted the stam- pede. Everything has been staked from source to mouth of every stream tributary to the North Fork, and not even a third tier bench remains. The Indians are guided chiefly by two of their number, who are Carlyle gradu- ates, and who contend that the ward of Uncle Sam here is as much citizen of the United States as any one when 1t comes to stalking mining ground. On the particular stream upon which the discovery was made very reasonable offers to buy and bond were disdaln- fully refused. They have been in- structed by the missionary not to make any covenants whatsoever nor agree to sell for any sum any of the proven claims to white men. It is of course reasonable to presume that the shep- herd must care for his flock, and, no doubt when shearing time comes he will be very tender in slowing away whatever may be loose for the edifica- tion of his great calling.-Nome News.

John R. Mclaughlin, who managed so successfully the Gale Waskey can vas in Southeastern Alaska this sum- mer, is about to start out to prospect for the winter. MT. Mclaughlin has considerable property in the Gold Run country, at the mouth of the creek. His property is Mo- below Hayden's discovery, on Gold Run. He also pos sessses the benches above. The claims lie on the right fork of the Bluestone. It is Mir. McLaughlin's intention to put in ditch there next summer. He will wait in Nome until the freeze-up, and will go into the Gold Run country over the ice.-Nome News.
 Within three miles of Seward, on Tonsonia creek, which empties into Resurrection bay, Alfred Lowell mined out S23. .19 in gold dust in eleven hours. He was doing the annual assessment work and put in set of sluice boxes to see how the ground would run. The result greatly exceeded his eXpecta- tious and he is now engaged in opening up his claim on an extensive scale, Lowell is a member of the pioneer family of that name, and was born on Resurrection Bay He staked out the claim in question several years ago, but did not realize that it contained such high values. Among Lowell's other possessions is a fox farm located on an island at the entrance of Resur, rection bay.
 By an atttempt to grab vast amount of the mineral lands of this section through the medium of patent laws, the Maryland Virginia Mining Com pany has helped to make the passing summer one of the most prosperous seasons the lawyers of the Seward pen. insuIa have ever known. The success. ful and .to-date mining man in this section seems to be under compulsion to keep half dozen lawyers on his staff all the time. It is matter of common knowledge that every discovery of gold that has been made in this section has been followed almost immediately by the commencement for suit in eject ment or an application for an injunc tion, and it is safe to say that about ter per cent of the money that has been taken out of the ground has found its way into the pockets of the disciples oi BIackstone.-Gold Digger.
 Perpetually frozen ground in the far north is not uncommon, although there are periods of the year when the SUI shines for twenty hours day and tenn peratures over 90 degrees F. in the shade are sometimes noted. Various authorities have made different obser vations. The thickness of the frozen stratum varies considerably and is less on ridges than in valleys, and on south ern than northern exposures. A shaft sunk on ridge south of El Dorado creek reached unfrozen ground at g depth of sixty feet, while one in the valley of Fl Dorado creek was stopped by running water at depth little over POO feet. In small island in the interior Yukon country, a shaft sunk through rolled stream gravel to deptt of forty feet in winter penetrated per petually frozen ground until near the limit of it's depth. The presence of trees in some sections insures thawed ground beneath them.
