Strength Of Cincinnati
and Chicago Ameri-
cans Proves Surprise
New York Giants
Prospects Good

New York, April 16.-The rejuvenated
teams of the National and American
Leagues began the 1916 season under
favorable weather conditions.
In both leagues the line-ups were
sprinkled with names of former stars
in the Federal League. Several teams.
particularly the st. Louis Americans
and the Chicago Nationals have many
Federal players on their club rosters.
The end of the first week found the
Boston Club leading in each league.
Neither has lost game, but the Braves
have played only two games and the
Red Sox only three. Perhaps the great
est surprise Of the short opening week
was the strength displayed by Cincin-
natl in the National and Chicago in the
American League.
Boston, although out-hit by Brooklyn
in the opening series, played fiawlessly
in the field. The Braves appear to be
even stronger than they were last year.
New York Strengthened
Alexander opened the season with a
victory for Philadelphia. New York
apparently much strengthened through
the addition Of Kauff, Rariden Rousch
and Anderson from the Federals made
Manager Moran's players work hard for
their two victories and shut them out
in the second game. The Phillies pre-
sent for 1916 virtually the same aggre-
CATION with which they won the Ma
tional League championship last year.
ST. Louis and Pittsburgh, the other
western teams in the National League.
have several new players and appear
stronger than last year. Babe" Adams.

ed the first one-hit game of the season
Thursday when he shut out St. Louis,

of St. Louis, held Cleveland to three
hits, and Coveleskie of Detroit, did
equally well with Chicago. Coveleskie
further aided the Tigers to viSory by
making four hits himself. The veteran
fielder Jones apparently has succeeded
in merging the 1915 Browns and his old
Federal League team into a winning
combination. Cleveland and Washing

new men added to their ranks. Klepfer

Boston, April 1e.-1t was only in the
eighth inning that Boston gained an
advantage on the Athletics Saturday
and in the ninth Fosters temporary
wildness almost cost the Red Sox their

passed a pinch hitter, Stellbauer, was
sent to the bat but fell before Fosters
well-directed shoots.
Bush was given a one-run lead by
his Philadelphia team mates when an
error by Scott assisted, but Foster pre-
vailed from that time on.
Barry's single and heady base run
ming, with single by Foster, counted
first for the Red Sox in the fifth and
double by Scott, a tielder's choice

Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1916-12-31

Beyond these beaches and in the noun
tains, and especially in the creeks that flow
from them, great quantities of gold have
been found. The whole region, in fac,
seems to have been more or less peppered
with grains of gold, flakes OF gold, flour gold
and small nuggets AS it is now, the country
is covered with piles of gravel the tailings
from which the gold has been washed and
there are also great gravel beds that mark
the workings OF the larger properties, such
as those of the Pioneer Mining company.
The Pioneer properties are in and about
Anvil creek, and they include the site of the
original discovery. There are hundreds of
men working there, but they are scattered
about so that they do not seem to be many.
The most Of the work is now done by ma
chinery, and single man and machine will
accomplish what it took hundreds OF men to
do in the past.
The chief agent in getting put the gold is
water, which bursts forth from pipes in

streams as big around as telegraph pole
and often several hundred feet long The
force OF these streams is such that they
would cut man in two if he tried to cross
one. They are SO strong you cannot pierce
them with an ak. They are sent against the
hills, and they lift up rocks and gravel and
shoot them in clouds through the air At one
point Of my trip today one of these streams
came between me and the sun, and the sand,
gravel and water composing it took on all
the colors of the rainbow.
| stood for awhile and watched the men
working. They were clad in slickers and
White rubber boots that reached to their
waists. One man directed the pipe from
which the stream came. This was SO hung
on pivot that it could be m owed with the
touch Of finger, and made to carry the
the god-bearing earth where the MAJ
willed. The water boiled and foamed as ii
struck the glacial ice in which the golden
gravel is bedded. 1t melted the ice and tore
the earth away from it and carried the mass
OF earth and gravel to the hydraulic lifts. In
one place l saw such streams moving noun
tains of gravel, and everywhere they were
forcing the gold, sand and gravel up the
pipes into the sluice-boxes
The most of the mining here is done with
hydraulic lifts. The sluice boxes are great
troughs about as wide as wagon-bed and
perhaps $50 feetlong. Their sides are two
feet in height, and in the bottom are steel
gratings, known as rifles, which catch the
gold as the stream of gravel and water runs
over them. These sluice boxes are made of
steel. They arc inclined at an angle Of
about 80 degrees, and are supported on n
trestle-work, the top being at an altitude 81
SO feet or more above the ground. At the
upper end of the sluice box there is steel
pipe, as big around as the chest Of prize
fighter, which extends from there to the
ground. This IS connected with the hy-
draulic stream, and the water sent from the
pipes ! have described forces the gold-bear-
ing earth, gravel and rock up through this
pipe into the sluice box. The gold is so
heavy that it drops to the bottom OF the box

Then the first gold was found in the sands
of the seashore. 1t was discovered by
United States soldier, who was accustomed
to pan out enough every day or so for an
extra meal. Then Missouri Bill" made his
big strike, washing out $4,000 worth Of
gold in one day; and a little later 1000 men
were engaged in beach mining They aver
aged from $40 to 500 day each, and with
in less than two months they had taken out
more than million dollars by means Of
hand rockers from the sand in front of
Nome
This gold was found in a kind of ruby
sand which lay on the shore in beds of from
six inches to two feet in thickness Some Of
the sand was rich in gold, and the beach
mining created great excitement All sorts
of theories were advanced as to gold in the
ocean, and every one expected to make for

tune. Many got as much as from SIS to SIC
pan; and not few took out thirty or forty
thousand dollars each from their little sea-
shore claims. Today any one can wash three
or four dollars day out Of the Nome sands,
and there are some miners still at work
there.
When the beach mining was at its height,
the people went crazy. Mining cradles
were in great demand and the price OF lum-
Der rose to $500 a thousand feet. Coal
brought from $50 to 500 ton, and cabins
and shacks OF one room sold for 5000 each
Wages at once jumped to $40 day, and
during part OF the time to s. an hour. Then
the sands began to play out. In 1900 those
in front of Nome yielded $350,oo0, but the
next year they had dropped to $4,000, and
now their output can be counted by hun
dreds 1t is the same with the other beach
mines along the coast, Some of them yield
ed hundreds of thousands OF dollars, LIT
they were soon washed out
In the meantime the output Of the mines
discovered along the creeks flowing into
Snake river and on the plain back OF Nome
steadily increased, and it is this regio
is being mined today. II you will imagine a
grassy plain running back from the seashore
for a distance OF five or six miles to a low
range of mountains you will have some ide::
of the present gold mining district of Nome.
The plain consists Of three old sea beaches,
each of which contains gold. The first be-
gins at the shore and runs for mile or SO
back 1t consists of tundra, which means
that it is hidden by moss, grass, niggerheads
and other vegetation, and that the land be
low is OF ice-frozen gravel. The second
beach, which is a little higher and farther
back, is also tundra but it consists of mater
ial deposited at different period, as does
also the third beach, which runs into the
foothills of the mountains For all practical
purposes the beaches are one. Just now
they are covered with green except where
the gold mines have caused the excavation
of the ground beneath. They looked much
like meadows when the gold miners first
came

There are but few wagon roads on the

coast, running from Nome back to the
mountains. The other is not far from the
