was instructed to notify the propric-

playing. Steps were also taken TO
prevail on the district attorney to
stop the use of punch boards. The
presence of minors in these confec-

games and operating the punch board,
led to this action on the part of the
council.

 1T would seem that in the case of this one mineral at least, that the statement contains a great deal of truth as there have undoubtedly been many thousand
 tons of the stream scheelite thrown away, each and every pound of whict represented considerable value The 1 possibilities of mining this mineral on
 a commercial scale are not ascertainet
 as yet but 1t would seem that there is

 CT yesterday that an excellent price IS at present being offered for the min.

 tnnch to encourage the miner to pay a tirfie more attention to that minera
 than has been displayed in the past ard should also do a great deal toward stimulating development of the exten- sive set celtic deposits found in quite a nImber of the streams in the western section of the peninsula. At the price of forty dollars per hundred weight in- dicated in the telegram 1t would seem that this mineral could be mined at an excellent profit in some localities. as according to reliable testimony, there are quite a number of streams that will produce fifty pounds or more pei day by the ordinary methods of mining We are also informed that there are at least two streams in the immediate vicinity of Nome where even greater quantities can be mined. On the basii of fifty pounds per day alone, the ex. tracted values would approximate twen- ty dollars and this would seem, 1T every way. a sufficient price to leave good margin of profit over and abov' the costs of mining. AS far back a! 1896 it was brought to notice that ther' was then the possibility of developint an extensive industry in this section through the mining of this mineral but although the matter was made public there was apparently no interest talk en by the miner. Yet We are told tha the great majority of mine operator are daily handling more or less of tn
 scheelite without making any attemp tt turn it to profitable account. Alst that in several sections. the mineral i
 so abundant that it is really hind
 rance to the mining of the more prec
 ious minerals. Of course the reason for the failure to save this product lies largely in the fact that few of the miners knew either its character or value But few of the mining men o1 this section have more than an indif- ferent knowledge of mineral values aside from gold or other of the nor,
