the dispatches from the three Alaskans
who made such big strike at National,
New, few days since, comes further
news that a number of other Alaskans
were on the ground at the time, and
all are supposed to be in possession Of
good claims.
S.W. Gerndacker, Arthur and George
Stowe, all Of Nome, own claims in the
new district that are very valuable.
N. +. r. Hatch, Judge J.. E. Fenton
and Dan Dryer, all old Nomeites, haze
good leases on valuable property. The
ore is of such richness that if one is
not on the ground it is impossible to
believe it. George A. Shea, of Cordova,
states that he saw $500 taken out OF
10 feet of drift on the National Min
ing Company's property. The Stahl
brothers, of Nome, are working lease
on this ground, which will produce
81 100000 in the next ninety days from
ground already opened up. Jake Der.
ger, AL Guinan and Joe Sullivan, all OF
Nome, are on the ground, and it is Be:
lieved will work valuable property.
