 KOUCAROK WATER RIGHTS

SEATTLE, May 3l-A Washing ton special says the application for water power rights in the nougarok district, on Seward Peninsula, to- gether with the recent sale of a large number of mining properties near Nome, indicate revival of the mining industry on a colossal plan, the object being the development Of the low grade gravels of that region. These plans were abandoned during the war because of unfavorable con ditions then existing.
 The Sawtooth Power Company, which is behind the project, has ap- piled, through it's New York attor- ney, to the federal power commits sion for license to develop a com prehensive water power system on Seward Peninsula. The original plan was backed by British capital, ana contemplated the expenditure of q number of million dollars in devel- opment. ..
 It is believed that the Nome gray els, which have never been worked, will produce half billion in gold, and will keep large number of dredges busy every summer for 40 years.
