Fishing Village of Sand Point Excited Over Discovery of
 Rich Quartz Ledge.
OWNERS REFUSE BIG OFFER
Mining Expert on Behalf of Outside Capitalists Offers $3OO,OOO
 for the Property.

A monster ledge of quartz carrying free gold, lying in porphyry forma- tion, has been found at Sand Point, on Popoff island, member of the Shuma- gin group. The principal ownerof the property is Louis Herman, An expert mining man has recently made an in- vestigation of the ledge on behalf of outside capitalists, and the Gateway IS credibly informed that an offer of $500, ,OOO, $3O,OOO in cash, the balance in one year, has been made for the mine. The owners are holding out for larger cash payment. L, L., Bales. the we'll known Alaskan guide, saw the property during his westward trip, and describes it as one of the big mining propositions of the north.
 Sand Point is known chiefly as a rendezvous for cod fishers and fur hunt CTS. It is near the mainland of the Alaska peninsula, one of the finest hunting grounds in the world for bear and dear. Two years ago Louis Her. man came down there from Nome, and began to prospect the beach for gold. He found pay sands, and soon the fishers ceased fishing, the hunters gave up their quest for game, and all joined in the more exciting and profitable vocation of inning for gold. A sea- sons work relieved the beach of it's mineral values, and Herman began to look around for the source of the gold. A ledge was soon discovered, and de- velopment work has been carried on internationally for about year.
