ANOTHER MINING SEASON
With another bumper year of production Nome hears the end of the 1889 mining season. with

With another bumper year of production Nome hears the end of the 1889 mining season. with several hundred miners and pros pectors coming into town during the next few days to catch the last boat for Seattle. Many will continue their work until later and fly to the States.
 From nearly every one of the twenty four dredge camps on Sc ward Peninsula comes word that their gold production for this year has exceeded by a good mar gin, their last years operations.
 About the time of the sailing of the last boat we will be able to quote an approximate total gold shipment for the 1889 sea son, and it is expected to be an encouraging sum.
 
 The point that comes to mind in this gradually increasing gold production for Nome and Se- ward Peninsula is that with mod ern methods of mining, the de- velopment of roads and plane landing fields, the increased price paid for the gold, and the gen. tral assistance rendered Alaska by the federal government Nome and this section of Alaska have their feet firmly set on the road to steady development and pros 'perity.
