NUKA BAY DIST
VALUES FROM SEVERAL SAM.
PLES RUN TO $6.50 A TON—THE
LOWEST GOES $1.20.
LOCATED ON YALIK COVE
At No Distance Is Vein More Than
300 Feet from Tidewater—
Ideal for Mining.
The A1 Blair quartz prospect, owned
jointly by Mr. Blair, Pete Sather and
John Smith, located near the shore
of Yalik Cove, an arm of Nuka Bay,
and which many claim, who have in
spected the claim, to be the largest
body of ore to have been uncover
ed during the past, season, reveals
an analysis quite pleasing to the
partners.
Mr. Blair, on the last steamer from
Juneau, received the following as
says :
From ledge 15 inches wide, sample
No. 2, the ore went $6.50 to the
ton; sample No. 3, ledge three feet
and five inches in width, $1.20; No.
4, ledge twelve inches wide, $8.50
perton; sample No. 5, ledge two feet,
five inches wide, $2.50; sample No. 6,
ledge three feet wide, $6.50 per ton;
sample No. 7, ledge three feet wide,
$3.25 per ton. These samples were
procured at distances ranging from
50 to 300 feet apart for a total dis
tance of 800 feet.
The general strike of the vein is
east-west, and nowhere along the
stripped portion is it more than 300
feet distant from the beach. The
maximum elevation, above sea level
does not exceed 100 feet.
The vein consists of white quartz
and is stripped at intervals for a
distance of some 1500 feet. The dip
is steeply to the South. The widths
vary from one to four feet of solid
stringers, interspersed with dyke
rock, make the entire width six and
seven feet across. Thruout its en
tire length the vein is associated with
a granite dyke of the type which is
prevalent thruout the Nuka Bay sec
tion. Numerous cross stringers and
feeders are observed. The country
rock is black slate of an ore-bearing
type. Ore minerals are of free gold,
galena, zinc and pyrite. The pre
dominant mineral is the free gold.
The results of the seven samples
taken along the vein, while not car
rying bonanza values, are sufficiently
encouraging, in view of the rock
structures, to warrant a further ex
amination of the prospect, it is stat
ed.
During the past summer, J. G.
Shepard, U. S. Geologilcal survey
man, examined the property and, ac
cording to reports, looked upon the
property as being one of the most
promising in the district.
MILD WEATHER
AT NOME LAID TO
ISLAND VOLCANO
NOME, Nov. 13 (JP)—It is believed
here that the activity of the Aleutian
volcanoes is responsible for the mild
weather enjoyed here up to and in
cluding November 10. Last night, for
the first time this fall, the tempera
ture dipped to ten above zero. The
fall average has been above freezing
point. It rained several days the
first part of November, an unusual oc
currence for this section of Alaska.
Bering sea and all the creeks and
rivers are open with no snow on the
| ground.
On November 3 members of the
coast guard crew went swimming in
the Bering Sea. The dredges are still
operating without difficulty
Armistice Day- celebration packed
Eagle Hall, fully a thousand people
being present. Others enjoyed the day
auto riding into the hills.
The fishing schooner Sea Wolf re
cently returned from a walrus hunting
trip in Arctic waters, the last boat
to be put into winter quarters here.
Her skipper said he did not sea any
thing like a Russian gunboat on the
trip.
A dog belonging to Arthur Berry
of Avoca, Minn., which he had left
with his bf'other 630 miles away,
found his way home.
