Frank Skeen and His Partner Expect to Work This High Grade Ore
 On Their Own Account

Frank Skeen and Otis E. Harring- ton returned from Nuka Bay Satur- day, after prospecting trip of sev- eral weeks, bringing gold dust and samples from one of the richest quartz strikes made on the Peninsula.
 Some of the samples secured by Skeen from the ledge discovered will run from $3O,00O to $4O,OOO to the ton.
 "Of course all of the veins which averages about twenty inches in width is not this rich, but there is about four or five inches near the foot wall which is certainly rich," said Skeen.
 The vein is ordinary quartz except for places where it is shot through with blue-gray quartz, rich in gold.
 During the ten days the two mer were on the ground, in addition to cut ting out trails, they banned out $5C worth of gold from the decomposec outcroppings.
 q hope to be able to work this claim myself" said Skeen. "My partner has never prospected before but he takes to it and we are going to try and han dle the project ourselves"
