RICHEST GOLD MINE
 STILL UNDISCOVERED

The management of the Alaska Youkon-Pacifc exposition, which will be held in Seattle in 1909, proposes to reproduce at the exposition several of the famous mines of the North that made dozens of millianaires during 1898 and 1900. But the richest mine that the North has will not be repro duced for the simple reason that no white man has ever seen it and lived to tell the tale, so says the PhSt-Intel- ligenher.
 In the early days of the camp certain tribe of Indians from the north arrived in Dawson for the first time. To the astonishment of the few that saw the new tribe every member had several ornaments carved from great nuggets of virgin gold. This tribe had never met the white men before and to the breathless inquiries the tribesmen told how near to where they livedwas stream in which the yellow metal could be picked up in chunks as big as ones list. Nearby, they said, there was a cliff in which the metal stood out like moss on a mountain side.
 The Indians soon learned the value of their ornaments and shrewdly re- fused totell where they got it. Never theless several prospectors tried to follow the tribe on the return to the northern village, but the willy red men easily succeed in losing the less agile paleface Since then there have been several more or less secret and always unsuccessful expeditions to find the gold of the Indians

0. \. SLEEPER ORGANIZES
 NEW MINING COMPANY

O. H. Sleeper has organized the Gold Nugget Mining Company which will develop placer property on Bear creek, a tributary of Resurrection creek. The property has been pros pected and worked at different times for number of years and has yielded considerable gold. The trouble in working this property has been with the water, there being either too much or too little. This will now be over come by installing reservoir and hy- draulic pump to handle the water just as it is needed. A complete hydraulic plant is on the ground buildings have been erected and everything is in readiness for work with the exception of the pumping plant which will be installed early in the spring.

The Old Alaska sourdough.

The old Alaska "sourdough" has reached the very pinacle of his happi- ness and contentment. He is snugly slowed away in his warm log cabin with a stock of provisions for the win ter. Moose, caribou and mountain sheep are within the reach of his gun. Ptarmigan and grouse wake him from his slumbers each morning with their cheerful calls to oneanother. Brer rabbit is making tracks all about his cabin, and the mink martin, fox and many other fur animals of beauty and wealth are being shared in his traps. In the spring old sourdough will awake from his lethargy, sell his furs, puts on a pack and away to the hills and valleys with pick, pan and shovel to trace some ledge of mineral bearing wealth or prospect the rich placer beds of some river or stream. He thinks his life one of pleasure and happiness. Perhaps it is.
