Nuggets at Grass Roots.
F; The Innoko and Iditarod stampedes
have been the feature of the summer
in Alaska gold mining circles, but the
KOyOku district is also making an IN
usual showing. NJ. f. Beatty, who ar
rived recently in Seattle from Nome 2,
y says there is much doing on Wiseman,
Nolan and other creeks, and he esti-
s mates the output as 100000, which =,
p according TO population, is about $4,000
}; per man. Many claims on Nolan are
s. showing up big pay, especially on Pin
~ giles Bench, where big nuggets can be
N picked up in the grass roots, but Ow-
n ing to a lack of water little could be
a done this season.
