The following from the Fairbanks Times regard the difficult

Eeictina to Be Summer Camp

Fred Kraemcr. Slate creek mining op- rator, reached Valdez January from the Nelchina diggings after having completed the location work required by law before claims can be fled for record. kraemer and his partners made quick trip from Slate creek last fall when they heard of the new strike, and after prospecting for several weeks located number of good claims on Crooked and Alfred creeks. The work per formed the past few weeks by the miners indicates that the Nelchina will develop into a large camp this summer Unable to reach bedrock because of water the miners found the gravel in the shafts banned we'll, and they are confident that the Nelchina will be a large producer the coming summer. It was at first thought that the NelchIna would be winter Ciggings, but the report of krae- mer and his partners indicates that the sum- mer method of handling the gravel in sluice boxes will have to be followed instead of the method used in the interior, where the paystreak is taken to the surface and sluiced in the spring. The weather in the Nelchina has been intensely cold this winter, accord ing to the reports brought to Valdze by the mushers, but as the district is heavily timbered, no suffering has resulted.

Anothar Dream Shattered

After the October storm in Nome wild stories were in circulation to the effect that millions of dollars in gold were washed up on the beach. A prominent United States senator predicted that Nome would enjoy q boom not inferior to that experienced in the days of '99.' It is now reported tbat extensive prospecting of the present beach since the storm fails to uncover any ground which has any value at all, 5-cent pans not even once being uncovered, and what gold was found was of the lowest grade So it appears that, instead of concentrating the geld, the storm washed it out to sea.

RUBY LOGICAL POINT
 FOR RAILROAD TERMINAL
(Ruby Record -Citlzenl

"1f you can't boost, don't knock IS not only good advice, but is virtually a truism. And in that respect, now that Alaska IS assured government railroad, and also assured, from the great demand, that the same shall go from some safe all-year- -open port on the southern coast to the navlgable waters of the Yukon what, may we ask, is the matter with Ruby for the Yukon river terminal?" So spoke one of Ruby's prom- nent business men yesterday.
 Passage bay, on the west side of Prince William sound, on account of its good har- bor and close proximity to the Matanuska coal felds" he continued, lis being favor ably mentioned as starting point As suming that a road should start from there, one glance at the map will show any un- prejudiced person that its river terminal should be Ruby
 Such a road, touching as it naturally would on some arm of Cook inlet, would benefit all the people on that great body of water; would be right at the door of the great placer fields and quartz mines of the old Sunrise diggings; would open up the Matanuska coal fields, the greatest in the universe; thence would go up the Susltna valley with all of its splendid agricultural possibilities. Continuing on in its northerly direction, it would touch the Kuskokwim river at navigable point, and thus bring all of that magnificent river in touch, Ar irving at the Kuskokwim, it would be at the door of the placer diggings of Candle creek, already proven to be of great value,

Third Beach Pay at Sunset

The Nome papers publish information said to be authentic that the third beach has finally been located at Sunset, on the Bo- hemian claim, with four feet of 712cent dirt awarding the dscoverers lsbors. The news had been in general circulation to the effect that good strike was made within short distance of Nome, but as the widest reports of strikes have emanated from Sun set year after year, little credence was given to the story of the new strike, and it is given for what it is worth There has been a hurried rush to get leases upon adjoining claims, and apparently there is confidence in the truth of the strike report

and would be within 75 miles of ldltarod, at present one of the biggest placer producers in Alaska Continuing, it would touch the Innoko river, go directly through the OphlI diggings, be in touch with the placers of the Cripple camp, and thence northward through 100 miles of proven placer fields to Ruby. Arriving here, the travelling time be tween Nome and the Outside for at least seven months of each year would be re duced by more than two-thirds.
 Over such a route there would not be one serious engineering difficulty to over come. As to the question of tonnage the whole line would have to be double tracked in less than five years.
 With the Alaska railroad bill signed by the President and enacted into law, the business men and residents of Ruby should lose no time in presenting the advantages of Ruby as the river terminal This, of all the Yukon, is the most logical point for that terminal, and none can show advantages greater than those presented by Ruby" con cluded this most optimistic business man.
