ation by the commission in employ

RICH PLACER FIND
MADE NEAR NOME
Miners Uncover Pay On Dexter Di
vide Which Averages Better
Than $3.00 Per Pan.
NOME, March 26.—What is believ
ed to be the greatest placer strike
in the Seward peninsula In years is
reported to have been made near Dex
ter divide, about three miles from
Nome.
The ground is very rich and careful
panning has convinced the owners
that the ground averages $3.00 per
pan. The miners who made the dis
covery kept their find a secret for
weeks and have been blocking out the
pay and preparing for next summer’s
operations. They assert that al
though only a small piece of ground
has been prospected that they have
$150,000 blocked out. The extent of
the rich deposit is not known as the
miners are still in the pay in their
drifts. )
The news of the discovery has
caused great rejoicing here as it is
believed the pay will prove to be ex
tensive and will revive the business
life of the camp.
