DEVELOPING QUARTZ.

To one who can read the signs of ! the times, it is patent that there is to be boom in quartz mining in this section of Alaska. Already a large oped, the funds for the work in many instances, being furnished by local business men, who have formed local companies for this purpose.
 Already some ore has been shipped, and another carload for shipment was brought into the railroad yards last night. This is an excellent indication for it shows that the people who are developing the property have faith that they will receive fair returns on their investment when the ore is treated at the smelters.
 It is unfortunate that there is no shelter or sampling mill in this sec. tion. If mining men who are inter- ested in rock properties had some easy means by which they could ascertain the value of their ore in bulk, other than by the costly method of shipping it to San Francisco, they would be more prone to invest their money in the development of quartz properties.
 There is already enough payable ore works busy for nearly a year.

TIN MINING.

While comparatively little attention
 Prince of Wales by the general public,
 there are a number of men pounding away at them just the same. and a
 large amount of tin ore is being
 brought to the surface, and in one
 mine it is being stamped and concen-
 trated. Others are doing prospecting
 work, and still others are arranging for the installation of labor saving ma chinery to the end that their proper ties will be put on a paying basis inn mediately.
 A large amount of capital has been invested in the tin mines of this coun- try. but prospects in tin, like pros poets in other metals, cannot be con- verted into mines in a day or a week. It takes years of patient labor and the expenditure of large amount of mon- ey to turn a quartz vein into a mine, and more than one good piece of prop erty has been turned down for this reason. Investors become impatient for dividends, and quite frequently what probably would rave proven a good mine is allowed to lapse for the lack of a small sum for further develop ment.
 Fortunately this is not the condition which has prpvaiIed at fba fin rnipes The investors have been patient, and it is probable that next year and for many years thereafter, they will be re- warded with a substantionl dividend.

NO BEDROCK
 AT I76 FEET

The drill with which c. M Gar cid was prospecting the lava beds last winter is still in position high upor | the left limit of the Inmachuk, oppo- site the mouth of Pennel creek It was believed by many that the most economical way of discovering the an- cient channel which is believed to lie under the lava, but MT. Garfield's ex- perience would hardly prove such to be the case.
 After 176 feet had been bored at much expense of money and labor without reaching bedrock, the work was stopped for the present, at least The results of that drilling seemed to indicate that there have been a num- Der of deposits of the lava, for the hard molten rock would be encountered for a distance of from 25 to 50 feet, when much gravel would show up for a num- Der of feet, this alienation occurring twice. In the layers of gravel colors were found.
 MT. Garfield has more faith in the tunnelling which he is doing, than in any other method of prospecting the lava.

JAP WARNING.

The Japanese have sent warning to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, telling the members that, if the people of the United States do not learn to conduct themselves, they will will have to suffer certain consequences.
 Of course, this country will imme- diately begin to alter it's course and trim its manners to suit the taste of its Oriental masters, lest they quit the Great Northern section gangs and Se- attle kitchens and leave the country at the mercy of the white wage slave.
 It is hardly pleasant to be always reminded of ones dependence upon others for a living, and when it comes to remembering that ones existence is at the mercy of people with skins of a different color, for some unexplained reason, the humiliation becomes more intense.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS"

Since the accidents that have occur red upon the Seward Peninsula Rail- road Co., and the finding of the coron- CTS jury in one of such cases, charg- ing criminal negligence against the company, the Nome Nugget has taken upon itself, in the interests of the public, to have the legal aspect of the matter carefully looked up.
 We find the Act of Mar"h ,. 1893, as amended by the Act of March 2, 1896, and as further amended March 2, 1903, compels all railroads operating in the District of Columbia, or any territory of the United States, to provide their trains with suitable power brakes that can be operated by the engineer upon the locomotive drawing such train.
 For failure to comply with the pro- visions of law in this respect a penalty of s1OO is attached to each and every violation, and it is made the duty of the district attorney to institute the necessary suit or suits for the en- forcement of these provisions when the matter is called to his attention.
 Since the opening of navigation this year the Seward Peninsula Railroad Go. has been operating several trains daily in utter disregard of the plain provisions of the law
 Had the law been complied with, is it not improbable that the engineer, seeing the defective track ahead of him could, by putting on his air or other power brake, have stopped the train in time to avoid the death of young Niebling.
 In any event. the present system of the railroad in taking numbers of passengers, many of whom are women and children, on Sunday excursions, down steep grades without air or other power brakes is almost criminal and the Nugget has taken upon itself to notify the proper officials of the gov ernment of this violation of law on the part of the railroad company with the request to these officials that the law be properly and rigidly enforced.
 We await the action of the district attorney in the matter

does not men a withdrawal from their positions in the industrial life of Am erica, what does it mean?
 It can hardly be they think a boy colt of American goods could succeed amongst people who are wise enough to know that man forgets politics when it comes to purchasing goods in the best market.
 Then it must mean something else, and that something else is the rub.
 Probably they thing some one de- serves a good spanking, and people on this side of the Pacific begin to agree thoroughly with them on this point.
