GOLD DEPOSITS AT NOME.
Bonanza Mining Over, but Much Gold
Still Remains.

The naming of Seward Peninsula
Alaska. in 1898, was a somewhat tardy
recognition of the man who had nego-
tiated, amid ieers and ridicule, the pur-
chase of the great territory from Russia
years before. Nevertheless, this small
arm of Alaska has proved fully worthy
of the name, and while bonanza mining
in the Nome region, which has produced
over S50,000,000 of gold, or seven times
what Secretary Seward paid for the
whole of Alaska, is now mostly a mat
ter of history; the region still contains
large bodies of gold gravels many Of
which can be probably exploited. 1t is
not unlikely, according to the United
States Geological Survey. that in the
future more gold viii be won from these
deposits than has been mined in the past.
Furthermore, though less definite state
ment is possible concerning lode mining,
it is declared by the survey that the
field is we'll worthy of careful prospect
ing for gold vein deposits,
The geological survey has just published
bulletin tNo. 533), describing the
geology of the Nome and Grand Central
region of Seward Peninsula, Alaska, by
Fred H. Motif. The investigation of
the mineral resources of Seward PENN
sula by the survey was begun in 1890,
and geologic and topographic surveys
have been made at various times since.
The present report brings together all
the information at hand regarding the
occurrence of the auriferous gravels of
the area. Much of this information is
stated to be of scientific interest only,
as many of the rich plaeers have been
worked out. However, a knowledge of
their mode of occurrence will be valu-
able, not only in this but in other re-
gions. in helping to establish the nat
ural laws which determine the distribu-
ton of gold in alluvium. As record
of one Of the richest placer camps of
Alaska, the report will have permanent
value; moreover, as has been stated
there still remain many large bodies of
gold gravels as yet unworked.
In the earlier days of the mining of
the rich seashore sands at Cape Nome
speculation was rife as to the origin of
the gold even the theory that the gold
came from the sea being advanced. Old
miners knew better than this, but it
remained for a couple of biologists OF
the survey who were passing through
and observing the great city of tents
stretching along the goodrich beach to
recognize an ancient beach on the higher
level which was presumably also rich
in gold. A statement of this observa-
ton was Immediately given out by the
geological survey, and prospectors were
also advised to investigate the beds of
streams cutting in to the coast which
had originally transferred the gold par
ticles to the beach sands. Subsequent
development showed the old and prehis-
toric beach as we'll as the stream beds
to be rich in gold, and several million
dollars worth were later taken out.

Before recruit Pitcher Keneiick could

sewed up its second victory of the sea-

day afternoon.
Grover Kenefick, the former Spauld-
ing player, made his debut with the
Barre club. Excepting the first inning,
when he was touched for double and
a homer his work was above reproach,
and in fact he out pitched Davidson,
formerly battery mate with the Skidoo
shippers. After the first inning he
twirled remarkable bali and was never
placed in trying predicaments. This was
Kenefck's first appearance in the Barre
uniform and the opinion of the speeta-
tors was that the youngster has a prom

nestly desired by the management His
control was very effective and he passed
no batters. In the seventh inning he
hit Bailey, but this was unfortunately
due to the latter's refusal to avoid the
course of his speed ball.
Davidson was once more in fine fet
tie for Goddard, holding Barre TO four
hits, the same requisition of his club

faced he always proved master. Ten of
his former teammates numbered among

Shortly before 4 o'clock, after the
spectators had been experiencing trying
suspense, Umpire Murray announced the
batteries. This very unnecessary delay
in starting the game detracted exceed
ingly from the interest in the battle.
1t was only with the approach of twi-
light that the nine rounds were consum-
mated. The first inning suificed to win
the game for Goddard. Rogers took
Kenefick unawares and popped fly into
the maple orchard in right field that al
lowed the speedy Goddard thirdsacker
to negotiate two sacks. Tierney famed.
Gray grounded to Mute, advancing Rog-
ers. Rogers scored on passed ball.
Witt then contributed the feature play
of the game when he pounded long
drive over Browns head in centerfeld
for the circuit.
In the fourth inning Peduzzi hit safe
ly to rightfield He was sacrificed to
second by Johnston, and took third on
a passed ball. He scored on wild throw
by Gray. Numerous opportunities were
afforded to Barre, namely in the second,
fifth, and eighth innings, but in each in
stance foolhardy playing deprived them
of equalizing the score. The summary:
