but such was the case. Opening

Pneumonia has taken the place
Of measles. There are a number
of cases of pneumonia in town and
vicinity thus far, two cases have
resulted fatally.
The long wished for event has
come at last. We are going to
have a preacher who will live here
and what is more, we are going to
have a sermon every Sunday
morning. It ought to have been
this way years ago. May success
crown our new pastor in all his
undertakings, and may he find
everything pleasant and agreeable
is the wish of the writer.

ECHOES OF THE BLIZZARD

ECHOES OF THE BLIZZARD
The great topic last week in all
the newspapers was the great biz
zard which commenced on Sunday
night, IL inst. and continued with
intense cold and snow driven be-
fore the wind for three days block
aiding the railroads and cutting off
Wilmington, Philadelphia, New
York, Boston and other eastern
cities from communication with
each other. Each city required
columns to narrate its especial in
cidents. 1t is now a thing of the
past but some of the striking
facts and paragraphs will not be
out of place in historic way of
this most disastrous storm of fifty
years. The particulars of the dis
aster at the Delaware Breakwater
and the effect on the city Of New
York are given news Importance.
The blizzard took in southern New
England, southern New York, the
states of New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware and Maryland and
parts of Virginia. Over this sec
tion it has been the worst snow
blockade that has happened since
1881, at which time there were no
telegraphs and only one or two
short lines of railway. At least
200 vessels are in distress in the
Chesapeake Bay and many lives
are known to be lost. The storm
caused high floods in eastern Vir-
ginia, drowning many cattle.

economic sales price are consid- e.ed in the sale of fur garments manufactures at Nome, and the industry promises wzI to become a leader.
 With the resume of industries, arts. handlcrafts and activities which are common to thts section we point with pride to the fact that Nome and Seward Peninsula are forging ahead. Gone is the old feeling of depression and re ceSsion of business. Intead mer- chants and other business inter- estS are turning toward the dew elopment of their country with increased ambition - realizing that todate only the surface has bsen scratched, and that devel- opment is necessary to bring health, wealth and happin esS 10 them all.

original discovery during the boom days of the whaling fleets of the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean.
 Modern gas and diesel Tnechan- ical shovels of two to three yards capacity are used to dig up the placer tin ore in these localities. Dump trucks carry the concen- traes about three quarters of a mile to the shore of Bering Sea where it is washed and gathered flor sh ipament to Singapore for smelting. Tn ere is at present no shelter in the United States pro- perly equipped to handle tin. The cost of such transportation to the Asiatic port is extremely high and cuts down the net profits pos sible. It was reliably reported that more than quarter of a million dollars in tin was shipped from our section last year. Prin- cipal producers of tin is the Am erican Tin Fields Inc, which op- crates the modern machinery now stationed at Tin City. Other individual operators include the Bering Straits Tin Mines, Inc, George Waldhelm, Tommy Christ tensen and M. A. Domingoes, Dune McLain and others. The development of this industry is particularly progressive step when it is realized that in this section are the only established tin deposits on the North A1neri- can Contin ent-and the United States has for years been import ing all the tin which is required.

Two Kinds of Claims

:. It is very important to distin- guiSh between lode and a pla- cer deposit. If deposit is lode, it should be staked as a lode claim; If it is placer, it should be staked as a placer claim. If both lode and a placer deposit are found in the same area, it should be located as both a placer and a lode claim.

Steinsr are associated in the North Star, and Hugh Pier son and others head the Council Dredging Co. Clyde Glass and associates also operate a dredge.
 Solomon River Section The Solomon River section, 2 rg a producer, has increased with the active operation of the Lee Brothers drsdge on Solomon River. The dredge operated on \ le Casadepaga ground of A. C. Stewart associates, was moved blSt winter to Monument Creek, sDOut fifteen miles north of Nome f here it will commence work kliS summer.
 Bering Sea Profitable Ground
 Along the coast of BeITng Sea,
 Bluff, Joe Sullivan is carrying
 dragline operations through he ice. Drilling takes place early bl the spring, and before the breakup, a dragline hauls gold
 caring gravel from the ocean
 ed thru large cut, up onto the
 each. It is later washed down
 nd the gold extracted after the
 reakup. Last year it was report more than $l75,O0 was taken kut in this manner.
 Assisting in the most import mt manner, the Airplane Indus Ky in this section of Alaska, tlpplies all mining centers with Eaily service, transporting fresh D eat, vegetables and supplies of Ell kinds. Should accidents oc- UT in out of the way places, a plane is called, an injured man aken to the hospital at Nome, or
 roken machinery is picked up nd brought to Nome for over
 aul--then returned to the camp, nd operations continue again, ,hh only a short shutdown.
 In this respect the Northwest en Alaska Chamber of Com nerce is continually urging the rmstrlpction of many additional anding fields in new mining
 reas of the Peninsula. The prob 1m of transportation is being ackled with renewed incentive nd determination, for only in his way can the country be open d up for development The needs roads and trails is acute and Rill require much work before tle mineral areas of the Seward Peninsula are definitely discov e-ed.
 Fishing Possibilities l Further exploration of the fish ing possibilities off Nome in the Boring Sea, is at present being urged by organizations of this section.

 20 Dredges Active
 During 1887 twenty dredges were active in the Seward Penin- sula section. More than l12 gen. eral operators employed a total of $50 men during the mining season which extends from the middle of April to the first of November.
 Fourteen operators used trac- tor, bulldozer and dragline types of equipment last year, and, ac- cording to all available reports this year the number should be raised to nearly twenty five Many operators employ modern pumping plants 10 furinsh the water necessary for either dredg- les or hydraulic type of mining Only one hydraulic elevator type of equipment was in use last year, and that at property pro- ducing on the Inmachuk River on the Arctic side of Seward Pen- insula from Nome. Approximate ly 50 hydraulic outfits were in operation during 1887. all con- tributing to the increased gold output which Nome and Seward Peninsula is sending to the Out side.
 Nome Assay Office
 Through the work done during the past five months since the in- stallation of the Territorial De- partment of Mines Assay Office at Nome, much lode property has been tested and numerous field Investigations carried out. More than 35 gold assays an Is tin as- says have been accomplished. Of the minerals most prominently discovered, the following lead the list: gold, tin, mercury, black sand, antimony, copper, silver. More than 78 identifcations have been made in assays reports the Nome Assay Office. The volume of work passing through its port als has more than equalled the combined work of the other two assay offices in the Territory, il was reported.
 Kougafok Activities

Operators in this section include the Kougarok Consolid- Gold Placers Inc, operating a dredge at Taylor on the kougar- ok River; Graham Lamuners, op- era uing a dredge at Fox Bar; Sam Godfrey, Jas.
