QUARTZ MINING IN TANANA.
Baakwrs who have been canvassing
the procjptxLs for the season's output
of gold in the Fairbanks district of
Alaska, says the "P.-I.," now report
that this year's clean-up will prob
ably reach $5,000,000, exceeding the
earlier estimates by a million and a
half dollars. The clean-up will com
pare favorably with those of the
past two or three years. There is
plenty of water and an abundant sup
ply of labor, and by June 1 there had
been cleaned up from the winter
dumps $1,000,000.
The feature of largest interest in
its meaning for the future is that, of
the gold output of the Tanana camps
for this season, something like $50,
000 will come from the quart* proper
ties upon which stamp mills have
been put in. While this amount is
small, it is a good beginning. The
small mills being put in now art- !
simply for development purposes. If
the properties show up anything like
as good as the prospects indicate that
they will, there will be big mills on
all of them.
There is a reasonable prospect that
the hard-rock mines of that section
within a few years will be producing
as much gold as the placers did dur
ing the best days of the Tanana
camps, and the quartz properties are
likely to be permanent, while the
placers may be worked out within a
few more years.
The opening of so many quart!
properties in Alaska this year, not
only in the interior but in Southwest
ern Alaska, is the development which
means most to the territory of any
in immediate prospect. Mills are not
being put in. save where there is
certainty of some permanence, and
the number of producing mines which
Alaska will boast by the close of the
present season will be far greater
than the most sanguine expectations
of a year ago.
THEN AND NOW.
Twelve mouths ago Skagway did
not have much hope of being in the
procession of gold producers ? in fact
it is doubtful if there were half a
dozen citizcns in the place who gave
any thought to the possibility of gold
being here in paying quantities.
Today the dawn of a new era is
upon us. Everybody feels this to bo
true, and it is doubtful if today, a
half dozen people can be found in
this community, who do not believe
that within another twelve months
that this place will be a producing
gukl camp.
That is why it was such an easy
matter to raise the money for the
stamp mill ? everybody has taken
ccurage from the many excellent
showings which have been made in
the past few months. The people
with the prescient eye of faith have
seen into the future greatness of the
place and have therefore declared
their willingness and an* y to hast
en th? progress of pr *y.

head master of an Austrian school
has patented an electric scarecrow,
in which a clock makes the connec

bells scattered over his orchard.
The use of electricity is rapidly
increasing in Switzerland owing to
the development of numerous water
powers. Electric light is driving out
the candle although two million
pounds of candles are still made ip
the candle factories of that country
annually. ____________

A recent dispatch from Fairbanks
says: Arrivals from Hot Springs
place the season's output at $750,
000 ? more than double that of last
year. This is due to the opening up
of the rich pay on Sullivan creek and
tracing of it on down stream.
A. Bock, after seven days' run
with a small crew, hoisting and dump-'
ing into the boxes, cleaned up $18,- ?
000 on Uie Bock fraction. A few
days ago Barker & Coburn, another
firm of SulMvan creek operators, af
ter a run of equal length cleaned up \
$17,00y and others are doing as well
proportionally.
Good reports continue to "ome
from American, or Wentworth creek, '
near Fish lake, midway between Hot :
Springs and Fort Gibbon, where a !
find was made last winter.
The pay has been traced across
several claims and the pay streak
seems well defined. The ground is
shallow and easily worked
