MINING ACTIVITIES*
From present indications judg
ing by the number of prospecting
outfits that are daily leaving for
the creeks, we are satisfied that
many new developments well be
initiated this season. Prominent
among the projects is the Sunset

wart, Monument Creek and Sun
set creek operator. Mr. Stewart is
the second largest employer of
labor in the Nome district. At
the present time he has a drill
crow working double shifts on his
Sunset holdings to determine the
values and depth of the ground,
preparatory to moving the recent
ly acquired Anvil Creek dredge on
to the property. if the property
conies up to expectations as is
nearly certain, from the Judge
ment of men who sank a number
of shafts here, we may confidently
look to 3ee the Sunset country one
of the big paying propositions of
this section. .. _
West of Sunset creek on Arctic
Creek a tiitoutnrv of Cripple river
a „ drilling crew are busily engaged
in testing that creek and abjoining
property. It is said this work is
at the instance qf Baron Friedland

gineer is supervisor, of the pros
pecting. The drilling is under the
care of Mr. J. Connors, Casadapaga
mining and dredge man. They ex
pect to spend a month or six weeks

Two men have gone to Sonora
Creek to inspect the holdings of
Tom Ochmann with a view of
making a deal on the ground.
Jack Skain and partner left dur
ing the week for lower Nome ri
ver to do extensive prospecting.
