the territorial mine inspector, together
with James Protopapas, a business man
of Juneau ami Nome, arrived ju Fair
banks recently. The territorial official
will remain here for several weeks, in
specting mines and attending to ids
duties, before going to Juneau
Regarding conditions on the lower
river, Mr. Maloney says that there is
some activity all along the Yukon and
Tanana rivers, and in man' places
miners are taking .. little money
t ondttlons are far from booming, ac
cording to bis statement, hut business
is not nearly as bar! as many mashers
from (lie lower river would give the
Impression
At Nome, from width place Mr.
Maloney started with a dog team, there
has been much more prospecting this
winter than in previous veers. On
Dexter and the .Submarine, pros
pectors are lining up the pay, but its
extent is not known i,y the mining in
spector.
During file early part of the winter
the bad weather interrupted work some
what, hut every thing is going along as
smoothly as could he expected it the
present time.
Mike LaRoskey and Fd Connell, to
gether with three others, a re working
in the Kaiytth mountains tills winter
Before Christmas, the men sank a hole
to bedrock and reported that they
found dirt running 15 cents to tlie pan.
They did not consider this good enough
however, and started to sink another
hole. Whether or not they struck bet
ter pay, Mr. Malonev did not know
On Christmas eve the Inspector and
Mr. Protopapas reached Xulato, and
were the gueBts of Max Smith for
Christmas. On Christmas night they
took in the annual dance given h> the
natives.
The day after Christmas, the men
left Xulato for Ruby. Cpon reaching
the latter point, Mr Maloney went to
Fong creek to Inspect the mines there.
He found considerable activity, both in
the mining industry and in a social
way. On New Year's eve. the new
Moose Hall was dedicated with approp
riate ceremonies. Everybody for miles
around was in attendance and enjoyed
the grand bail and other festivities.
On Long creek, there were three big
outfits Working Deitz, Sech & Walker,
who took out such big money last sum
mer, on Mascot creek, had sunk another
shaft and found the pay us fully as
rich as they did last summer it was"
stilted there that the ground would rut
$25 to the foot, with enough in sighl
to keep them busy nil next summer ant:
possibly longer.
Roll Graham and Johnson, on t he
Deacon bench claim, are hoisting pay
Buckley brothers, on the Novlkakel
bench, are hoisting pay dirt also. Or
the Buckeye claim. Van Winkle and
Mef'rea are taking out a dump. Whit
bui and Carlson, on the Boston bench
are doing well Al Kells, who took out
some money on the Wind} bench last
summer is sinking a new shnft. but up
to the time thnt Mr Maloney started
for Fairbanks, had not reached bed
rock.
The mining inspector estimates tht
output of Ruby for the voar at approxt
tnately $780,00ft
Between Ruby and Tufty in the Hoi
Springs district, there is some mirilnc
activity, but on a small scale. Al
Tofty, there are a number of outfit*
prospecting, and a few of them havt
lines up the pay.

BIRDSEYE VIEW OF NOME. THE FARTHEST NORTH AMERICAN CITY OF UNCLE SAM ON BERING SEA.
MM Ip order to convince Uir public of Nome that lltc .statements of
'be Nugget, as to the tourist question were not mere vaporing*, that
W there would indeed be a serious attempt to divert to Ala&ka a portion
of that vast arim of sightseers who will visit the Pacific Slope during
the coming summer, the Nugget has taken special pains to ascertain
with certainty the full extent of the movement and also to learn the
opinions of those host qualified to know as to its probable success
That the statements published at intervals in the Nugget are not idle
buncombe, that it is an absolute and irrefutable fact that a most
tremendous movement with a backing which practically assures th
^A success, has been started, and that. without a question of a doubt, a
vast number of sightseers will journey to the shores of Alaska during
Mm the coming season, is attested by tlie following facts obtained by the
Nugget's Seattle correspondent under instructions to secure onls
^ such data as was absolutely reliable and such opinions as were worth v
M of careful consideration.
The following are the results of the Nugget's investigations
The Alaska and Pacific Coast Steamship companies are both making
^■4 concerted efforts to increase the tourist trade, not onh to Southeast
A ern Alaska but to Seward Peninsula as well.
The Alaska Steamship Company has already announced tiiat
the Victoria will make special excursion trips Tune 28, July 36, sailing
to Nome direct and returning via the inside passage and is offering
\ greatly,reduced rates for the round trip.
The Senator will make no special trips but will offer »peeul
inducements to those desiring to make the round trip to this section
ftofh companies in addition to an extensive newspaper campaign
are maintaining booths ami information bureau- at ib. San i ran
cisco and San Diego Expositions.
All lines to Southeastern Alaska point- are preparing s '
increase in summer travel, ami are already making arrangement
handle ft.
Mr. Harry 13randt, licneral \gent of tin I’aeit’n i na-t Sii.r
-hip Company , states tiiai he expects a greatly ii Tea-. ’ t i,v
the inside passage, down the Yukon ami outside via X m i
Traffic Manager Zipf, of the White I’a—, predict- tmpi
river travel during the summer.
E. C. McMiken, acting Sail Iwanci-eo agent of tin While I ‘as.
who will be remembered as an old Nomeite. -late- that tin Win
Pass promises through rale- via Nome, provided hi ■ pan e.n
make the desired arrangement- with the m-vv owner- ot tin
Corwin.
The agents of all steamship companie- handling \la-i- . : •afti
assert that arrangement- will he made whereby t un-t iH t
enabled to stop in Nome from _>4 to 50 hours at lca-t
Everett Clark, Assistant Passenger Agent of tin \la-ka St- 1
ship Company says with enthusiasm that it "look- like .1 banm
y#ar for Nome and his company will cooperate with the Nugget
boosting the tourist travel to Seward Peninsula."
Here is the evidence that sound, level-headed business men. men
who calculate both words and actions, are not only confident tlut tlm
Northland will be an immeOie attraction during the coming n-i-m
but are also shc>wing'their faith by -pending large sums in adv erti-ing
the attractions offered.
