A. J. Muller is displaying a quartz
crystal of unusual size and weight re
ceived on one of the last winter mails
from a friend in the northern section
«>f the peninsula. The crystal has all
the appearance of a huge uncut diam
ond and weighs seven or eight pounds.
Information accompanying the stone
indicates that it was found somewhere
in the Fairhaven district.
S. O. Groven, the well known Bluff
miner, is paying Nome a spring visit
after sojourning in the Bluff section
during the greater part of the winter.
Mr. Groven reports that there was lit
tle mining in and around Bluff last
winter. He reports doing a small am
ount of work himself and another two
or three outfits also extracted small
dumps. Owing to the shortage of
water and other unfavorable conditions
there was nothing doing in the min
ing line there at the time he left for
Nome a few days ago.
Inability to recognize the name of
the new district attorney among the
somewhat confused lists of passengers
on the Victoria and Senator is caus
ing considerable speculation.
If Mr. Clements is a passenger on
either of the steamers, his name does
not appear on the lists, at least In a
recognizable form.
The passenger lists are wierd and
wonderful things, however, and ‘.t is
not Improbable that the new appoin
tee’s name may have been translated
into Jones or Smith or Higgins on the
way from Seattle to Nome.

Miners report that spring efforts at
open cut mining are greatly hindere-.l
by a shortage of water and much frost
in the ground, in some sections the
ground is frozen from six to eight or
ten feet deep. A number who ex
tracted winter dumps are said to have
been unable to accomplish more than
a portion of their spring sluicing oper
ations owing to the sudden failure of
the water supply. One well in
formed miner asserts that most
of the open cut outfits will probably
not be able to do much of anything un
til the summer rain commences, as the
present water supplies are far from
adequate, save in a few favored in
stances.
