At Valley Spring it has betn mined and shipped at a profit, It will doubtless be utilized in time, as the demand for it arises. | The other Lode Banner says that the sale price of ‘the Sunnyside mine, on which the first payment has been made under the bond, is $35,000. Improvements costing about $50,000 have been made, ac- cording to the same authority. CONDITIONS AT NOME. The Mother Lode Banner says that the | Sclentific Press writes concerning mining | conditions in Nome, that it has been dem- onstrated conclusively that, as on the beach, there are in the tundra parallel | gold streaks, due to the action of the sea. At one time it was belleved that where | there were spots in the tundra that were not frozen good mining was certain; ex- perfence has demonstrated that all such spots are so full of water, when any depth | has been ‘reached, that they have to be abandoned. Continuing he says It was left to the boring machines to ascer- tain the true condition of the tundra in divers places. These have demonstrated beyond doubt that the deposits accumulated between the hili- sides and the Bering Sea contain large amounts of auriferous gravel, the value of which, com- | puted by the cublc ard, reaches into tre mil. jons. An eight-inch oil well boring apparatus was used, the easy transportation of the ma- chinery over the snow-covered ground enabling the systematic prospecting of a, large area of the tundra. It was found, as in the shafts, that several paystreaks, varying in thickness, over- lay each other with a stratum of clay, or muck, or in many instances beach sand between, the whole reaching to a depth of 03 to 120 and even | 180 feet. It was gonclusively proven that the same condition prevalls on the tundra as on the Dbeach, which is, that the action of the sea has | concentrated the gold In streaks parallel to the beach, varying in values at different depths. The boring machine, of course, is only the forerunner of the actual work—the prospecting of the ground—the real work of which has to | be done by einking shafts and drifting on the | different strata with thawers, the frozen con- dition of the ground making the work similar | to quartz mining. The cost will be confined to thawing and hoisting of the pay gravel, Tim- bering can be entirely dispensed with' except i the “open’ spots, which undoubtediy will | necessitate pumping machinery to keep the shaft dry. The first condition of success to make the workings profitable I¢ cheap coal. As long as the cdal is sold in Nome at the extor- tionate price of $35 to $40 per ton, as at pres- ent, the develdpment of the deep ground will be indefinitely retarded, and were it not for. the experiments with the boring machines there Would have been up to the present time no light thrown upon the conditlons of the tundra. There is room for a hundred boring outfits in Nome. The work done by a few of these machines on the high benches of Dexter Creek | in prospecting to & depth of 120 feet is an im- mense eaving of labor upon thg old system of shaft sinking; moreover, the nd Is being systematically prospected. An entire season's work is spent in many instances in sinking a shatt for the purpose of testing the ground. It the result is negative the ground ls usually abandoned on the test of a single shaft, where- as the machine, by boring holes in two or three days, proved up the ground and indicates where a shaft can be sunk 1o obtain the best results. There {s no need of Waiting for winter season to prospect wil ring apparatus. The past summer seagon’s work was done on Anvil and Dexter benches uninterruptedly.

Electricity Is Life Only When Properly Applied. Quite a number of patients calling at The Electro-Chemic Insti- tute say: “I have used electricity, but it did me no good.” In every in- stance of this kind a few questions by the Electro-Chemic specialists demonstrate that the proper electrical treatment has not been used. 1f electricity isto be used successfully in the practice of medicine the three following rules must be scrupulously observed: First— The operator must be 2 physician of education and experience. Sec- ond—He must be a graduate from a special school of Electro-The- rapeutics, because the e!ectnca! course of most medical colleges is simply rudimentary. Third—His instruments must be of the very best makes, and he must have plenty of them to meet the various special requirements of a large variety of ailments. Few doctors using electricity in their practices meet all these re- quirements. The physicians of the Electro-Chemic Institute do thi They are graduated physicians of the best medical colleges and hos- pitals of the United States. They are also graduates of Colleges of Electro-Therapeutics. Th are not only experienced regular physiclans, but in addition they have ali had unlimited opportunitied in the application ef Electricity in |the treatment of diseases of all varieties. Their Electrical instruments are the finest that money can buy _ Thousands of dollars have been invested. It is not a question of how much money an instrument may cost, so long as it meets the requirements. Many of the Electro-Chemic Instruments are their own inventions, made for them by the best instrument makers in the world. Most come from American makers, but some come from Germany, England and France. To demonstrate the superiority of Electro-Chemic methods the Spe- clalists of the Electro-Chemic Institute invite all' persons in need of medical ald—in_need of correct diagnosis—to come to them during March for free Electro-Chemic X-Ray amination.
