Rumors have been floating about in mining circles during the week that the Pioneer Mining and Ditch company of Nome, has given an op- tion on it's extensive placer gold hold group of New York capitalists. The effort on the part of The Dispatch to get some accurate information about this reported big deal-the biggest in the history of placer min ing in Alaska, if there is foundation for the rumors-met with no partic- ular confirming result
 The rumors connect the name of Senator James Frawley, of Nome, as being the person negotiating the deal on behalf of New York interests. Well-informed Nomeites in Seattle say there was some talk in Nome last summer that the big company had given an option on it's holdings to Senator Frawley, but it was mere street gossip,
 When Senator Frawley came out side last fall he was interviewed by a Dispatch representative and spoke of his intention to organize a great water power company to supply wa ter for extensive placer mining. He said nothing about having an option on the Pioneer company's holdings. President Jafet Lindeburg, of the big mining company, is expected in Seattle before the month is over, and will be able to deny or confirm the rumOrs concerning the deal
 The Pioneer Mining Company. as it was generally known, was the first mining company organized in the Nome district, the organizers being the original discoveres of the great northern gold camp-Jafet Linde-
