New Discovery ou Nome
Tundra is Uood
The third great strike has been made
on the second beach or Nome tundra.
The strike was between Gold Bue and
Jess creeks. The latter creek is the
one upon which Charlt3 D. Lane and
Major L. H. French recently purchased
a claim, paying a larg< price, said to
be $125,000. The new s trike proves the
gold bearing sands on t ie tundra to be
Tar greater extent th n was at first
believed or generally b ped.
The new strike is in .wo feet of ruby
sand on bedrock and it :s said immedi
ately above bedrock th re is a layer of
six inches in which ihe gold fairly
glitters.
Speaking of the strike the Nome
Golder Digger says:
"It means more to Nome and the
vicinity than even thj famous Lhtle
Creek strike of last year. Instead of
opening up merely this one creek it|
means the developme. nt of the vast
stretch of tundra lying between Snake
and I'enny rivers. Up o this time the
tundra has been overlo. ked. This new
strike and the other recently made in
the same locality will give fresh im
petus to the development of the tundra
to the west of Nome."
