GET RICH FLOAT
 ON FALLS CREEK
PrOSpectOrS Trace Fragments of Remarkable Quartz Under
 Bank of Snow.

When the snow disappears in a canyon near the Falls creek country, about twenty-five miles from Seward, announcement is likely to be made of the richest gold strike yet made in this vicinity, if not in Alaska.
 Two persistent prospectors, whose names for obvious reasons, are not divulged, have found float quartz of fabulous richness in gold, and they have traced it to a snow bank that lies on the hillside of deep ravine. They have secured the hilltop above the snow bank, but find no goldbearing ore. It is apparent, therefore, that the ledge from whence came the rich float lies within the radiouS of the now snow-covered area. The prospectorS must patiently wait until in the course of nature the snow meltS away, which will be about September l.
 As one of the proSpectors remarked; eve find so much rich float in the Falls creek country that 1 never bring specimens to town any more, lest peo- pie will think that l am 'peddling dope.'"

Interior Department Makes New Ruling Which AnnuIS Nearly
 All Surveys.
CREATES TROUBLE AT NOME
Judge, Lawyers and Surveyors Say Decision Will Throw Out Many
 Legitimate Claims.

The general land office has promul- gated a new ruling concerning surveys of placer claims which the Nome Mug get says will make it impossible to patent nearly all the placer claims on Seward peninsula, including those which have been worked in the utmost good faith, many of them successfully. The ruling k stated in a letter from the interior department to the Juneau land office concerning a certain placer application, which the Nugget prints as follows:
 "The claim is situated on unSurveyed lands but does not conform to the Sys- tcm of public land surveys and the rectangular subdivisions of such sur- veys, being irregular in form instead ofm the shape off square or rcctangle. See 32 l.. D, 4Ol and 3l l.. D. fl. The shape of the claim and the fact that it is shown by the survey to be bounded on all sides by other placer claims would indicate that it is not a 'gulch place as defined on 32 l.. D. 363.
 You will accordingly notify claim ants that they will be allowed sixty days from notice within which to show cause why the entry should not be canceled, because of its non-contorm- ity to the system of public land sur vevs, or to appeal, in default of which ..-. ,p
