OFFICIAL PAPER.
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 1e, 1911.
THE PIONEER COMPANY.

In Fridays issue we published an outline of the work to be carried on during the present season by the Pioneer Mining Company, a concern with man at its head who discovered the gold on Anvil creek nearly thirteen years ago, which was the beginning of Alaska's most famous placer mining camp.
 Thirteen years ago the president of the Pioneer Mining Company W .+ al prospector roaming over the hills in this vicinity then a lonely barren tundra waste which knew not the i'm print of a white mans foot Today he is at the head of the largest mining company on Seward Peninsula, and the lonely tundra waste has been made to yield its hidden treasures of yellow grains of gold mixed with it's frozen gravel to the extent of many millions
 A short time ago, as time is recorded. neither Lindeberg nor Nome. nor Sew ard Peninsula were known to the world at large, but today both the discoverer of our placer gold and the country wherein he made his discovery are known throughout the length and breadth of the civilized world.
 The Nugget is not trying to boost the man nor the company; but for the benefit of the strangers within our gates we have dwelt upon a little of our camps history that they may un- derstand the name Pioneer is a proper and most fitting one to the institution having it.
 From the interview with MT. Linde- berg. We note that the company is in- augurating an extensive campaign for the development of the mining re- sources in this vicinity That they are spending thousands upon thousands of dollars to install the proper and most modern methods for extracting the low grades of gravel between here and the foothills That they are prepared to eXpend quarter of a million in dead work before being in proper shape to commence reaping the fruit of their labor.
 Any company, corporation. or what ever name they may go by that will do a quarter of a million dollars worth of work to help develop the country is worthy of praise and should receive every encouragement from the com munity at large for having such faith in the country. In fact were it not for the Pioneer Mining Company at the present time the majority of the people who wintered in here would pos sess just enough faith to last them while packing their trunks.
 We are pleased to note they are go- ing to introduce new methods of mln- ing and enlarging their ditch. and trust they will he rewarded many times over for their faith in the country. They are entitled to make a good return on their investment much the same as the poor miner who stakes his all fin all in the venture of trying to locate a pay streak. The faith one has in the coun- try backed with their experience and

prospecting is the only license they have for doing many of the things they also taking so many chances.
 We believe the gold is here and it will require lots of capital to extract it at a profit and hope other large capable of expending a like amount as the Pioneer will come to Seward Peninsula for there is room for several of them and gold enough to keep them all busy trying to extract it at profit

IF you have any doubt as to the
