Sheelite prospectors who have late
1 ly returned after an extensive pros
pecting trip to the Flambeau river sec
tion report that they were unable to
locate more than Indifferent signs of
the mineral and then only in exceed
ingly small quantities. Practically
every creek on both sides of the river
were gone over without results, thus
exploding a long held view that the
mineral existed in large quantities in
that section. From all reports the
mineral is not nearly so plentiful as
was generally believed. What there
is appears to be confined largely to a
belt about ten or twelve miles in
length and about an equal distance
from town. Some good spots have
been found in this areu but very little
has been located elsewhere.
The steamer Lautouche is expected
to arrive in Nome on Monday from
St. Michael. The vessel will carry to
the outside a large shipment of fuel
drums in addition to other cargo and
will also take the outgoing mail.

Steamship Company today advises
that the steamer Juneau, formerly the
Burlington, leaves Seattle for Nome
on the 25th inst. The venae 1 will bring
a huge shipment of gasoline and fuel
oil. This will probably be the last
opportunity to ship in oil and gaso
line during ttie present st’ason. The
Juneau is one of the new vessels of
(he Alaska Company and Is said to
lie about the same size as the Valdez.
Moth steamers were purchased dur
ing the early part of the year from
owners who operated them on the
great lakes.
A war drama of a realism seldom
noted in the movies is "Changed
(Lives” which will be shown at the
L'agle hall tomorrow, Sunday, night.
.Maggie Cline, the leading part taken
ny Anna Little is a"Slavey” who be
ing discharged from her position en
lists as a Red Cross nurse. This
brings her to the firing line in Bel
gium and makes her the confident
of an heiress who is later killed. Mag
gie dares to assume the part of the
heiress and the story is wrapped
around the sensational results of her
changed life which gives the drama
its appropriate title. The story is well
put together and the war scenes are
actually better than the pictures of
the universal weekly. R is a splendid
and modern film.
A new shaft sunk on the Stewart
property near Boulder creek, west of
Snake river, during the past few days
again discloses that a strike of re
markable value has been made. As
in the case of the three or four shafts
previously sunk on the property pay
of more than ordinary thickness and
value has been uncovered in the new
hole. The depth of pay in the new
shaft is at present seven feet and
, there is still no sign of bedrock. Bans
taken from the gravel streak show
ten to twelve cents and the ground
appears to be fairly uniform from top
to bottom. As the new shaft is about
one hundred and fifty or sixty feet
from those sunk during earlier periods
it appears that the pay streak approx
imates something like two hundred
feet in width. During the past two
years A. C. Stewart, one of the own
ers, has been engaged in running a
long tunnel from lower ground for
drainage purposes and has penetrated
over a thousand feet without having
struck bedrock. Owing to the loca
tion of the ground it is eminently
suited to dredge operation and steps
are now, being taken to install one
of those machines. Parties who are
interested with Mr. Stewart in the
property will arrive on the next boats
and further preparations for operat
ing will be made. As the ground is
proven rich drift mining will be con
tinued for the present. The gold
taken from the property is peculiar
in that it shows practicaly no sign
of erosion. Under a glass the parti
cles are covered with minute needle
like points, indicating that the deposit
has some close connection with the
quartz discovery made last fall on the
Cachrane property situated a short
distance away. According to assays
of the concentrates, the ground also
contains scheelltc in considerable
quantities and also some platinum.
Several tests for the latter mineral
show conclusively that there is suffi
cient to make if a valuable by-pro
duct.
