The steamers have finally felt their way through the ice and yesterday and today the streets of Nome again has the busy appearance of former times. The weather is ideal and tEe people were nearly all on the streets yesterday, thanks to the strict en- forcement of the Sunday law. which compelled people either to stay in their roms or take to the streets. The crowds collected on Front street and there was moving to and fro all day and the meeting and exchange of greeting among old friends and ac qualntances and mutual exchange of experiences during the past winter. The people of Nome have been won derfully blessed the past winter. judy ing by numerous reports brought in by returning Nomeites, in that tn, wave of financial depression has not struck so hard here as on the outs;da and there are still great opportunl- ties in this country for the laboriuy man, the prospector and tho mine op- eiatof' From reports that are we'll authenticated there will be large in. Vestments made on Seward peninsula this summer and large enterprises ihaugurated which will put a new phase upon the mining situation and in time will make this again the best camp in Alaska.
 The old operators who have return cd are here with more capital to worl; with. new dredges and increased ant improved equipments and along with them came those who are seeking in vestments and representatives of large capital seeking opportunities fo.. large and safe investments for Eu ropean capital.

This has been true of Dawson and all other large placer camp, where those whc made great fortunes by being the first on the ground and workii out the more easily mined deposits have re- tired or moved to other fields and left the vast deposits of lower grade ground to be worked by large com. panies or the quartz men who have followed after them.

A. c. Stewart arrived on the Vic- toria, has been mining in the Yale dis. trict, B. C., for the past year and a half, reports mining conditions in British Columbia, very lively though otherwise the country is dead.

Stewart It is of peculiar interest to the Nome ties to know that Dr. David P. Day, head of the geo. deparement of tte United States (and himself a world known authority on platinum) states in his report on platinum that it is only possible to have up to 90 per cent of the platinum from black sands, it is now proven demonstration that this new process can save all the platinum

 It is reported that this summer will see substantial progress made in this direction and that parties are now oI their way tu Nome to initiate the work of installing large hydro electric plant at salmon lake. Whether thi; be true orn ot it is only a mat ter of a short time when such thing will be done as the country demands it and the certainty of such an enter prise being a financial success from the start will before long attract cap.- tai, and the peninsula will be furnish ed with cheap power which will give q great impetus to dredging.
