THE EARLIEST DISCOVERY. After the discovery of gold at Nome, prospectors in 1898 rapidly extended | their search to all parts of Seward Pen- | insula and, as early as the fall of 1899, ‘lound placer gold in the Anikovik | River.

On the southeast side, where Tin City is situated, there is a small bight in the coast line that affords some protection from west winds, but for the prevailing south winds of summer the harbor is prac- tically an open roadstead and affords little, if any, better landing facilities than are found at Nome or York. Tin City is forty miles distant and north- west of good anchorage on Port Clar- ence. Cape Mountain is composed almost entirely of granite in the form of boss or stock intruded in .the limestone. The granite cuts across the stratifica- tion of the limestone. Specimens of tin ore were secured by the geological survey from the granite of the moun- tain, but the ore was not definitely traced to its position in-the bedrock. It is reported that tin ore has been found in at least three distinct points in this mountain and that it occurs in somewhat irregular deposits that have an eastward trend. Several tunnels have been driven into the mountain. It was not learned that ore bodies were found in any of the tunnels. The report does not contain any definite Accuses Creagh of Embezzlement. SAN JOSE, May 6.—John Creagh, a representative of the Conservative Life Ipsurance Company, has been charged with misdemeanor embezzlement by E. M. Rosenthal, another insurance man of this city. A complaint filed with Justice Wallace charges Creagh with misappropriating about $30 belonging to Rosenthal. Rosenthal is the dis- trict representative of the Mutual Life of New York.

The ordi- nance is advocated by the saloon men here and it will meet with no opposi- tion on the board. - — Singleton Is Acquitted of Murder. SAN JOSE, May 6.—William J.

Mr. Colliep reports that much of the sup- posed tin ore contains a great many dark minerals that have been mistak- en for cassiterite, but are simply tour- maline in slender black and brown needles. ACTUAL MINING OF TIN. Buck Creek is the scene of the first attempt at tin mining on a practical scale in Alaska, so reports the geo- logical survey. It is the present cen- ter of the tin placer mining activities. The settlement is on the Arctic slope of the Seward Peninsula, about twen- ty miles northeast of York and four miles from tidewater on Lopp Lagoon, an inlet from the Arctic Ocean. It is reached by wagon road from York that follows the bed of Anikovik Riv- er for ten miles, then crosses a low di- vide to Grouse Creek; then follows down the bed of Grouse Creek to its junction with Buck Creek. ‘Lopp La- goon is not navigable for deep-sea go- | ing vessels and will not, probably, be | used as a means of transportation of ore from the Buck Creek diggings. The evidence regarding «the Buck Creek region can be summed up briefiy. - Tin ore has been found in Buck Creek from its mouth to within a mile of its head. The creek is a small stream about five miles in length. The pay | streak is confined to the present stream | bed and flood plain deposits, and prob- | ably varies from ten to twelve feet to 150 feet in width. In the present creek theore Is found from the surface down. Outside the creek bed there is a cov- ering of moss and muck above the gravel. No ore is known to have been found on the hillsides surrounding Buck Creek or on the plateau surface in which Buck Creek is incised. The thickness of the tin-bearing gravel va- ries from a few inches to four or five feet. Estimates of the tin ore in the | gravel vary from eight to twenty- seven | pounds per cubic yard. Probably the ' former amount is more nearly the| average of the creek. Tin ore was discovered on Buck Creek in the fall of 1901, and some min- ing for stream tin was performed in | the summer of 1902. As a result of this work several tons of ore were shipped out to-the States. During the summer | of 1903 several companies were exploit- ing claims on the creek. The methods | of mining and sluicing stream tin were all modifications of somewhat primitive | is | methods of gold placer mining. It reported that considerable ore was ob- tained and hauled to York for ship- ment. The first discoveries of tin ore in the | York region were made on the Anikovik | River and Buhner Creek. Anikovik River enters Bering Sea at the town | of York. It is about fifteen miles long. It flows in a comparatively broad val-| In the! ley cut in the York plateau. lower part of the Anikovik Valley there are rather extensive gravel deposils.; The bedrock consists for the most part of slates, that break up into pencil shaped fragments. Since 1901 the work- ings on Anikovik River and on Buhner Creek are reported to have been aban- doned. Specimens of cassiterite were | in the sluice boxes wwhile discovered sluicing for gold was in progress. The Geological Survey reports that there are extensive gravel deposits on Anikovik| River that might be made to yield fair returns, either in gold or in tin, if economically worked on an extensive scale by the hydraulic process. Suf-| ficient water for this purpose is to be | obtained from the head of Anikovik River or from Kanaguk River. GENERAL CONCLUSIONS. Prospectors have reported the discov- ery of small amounts of stream tin in a great many streams in the York re-| gion, among them being the Baituk and | flowing into Bering | Kigezruk creeks, Sea; Banner Creek, a tributary of the Anikovik River: several small creeks flowing into Lopp Lagoon; Clara Creek, a tributary of Mint River, and| York Creek, a tributary of Pinguk Rher. Stream tin has been reported from all parts of the Seward peninsula, where gold mining is in progress, but the Geological Survey says that except in respect to the York region these re- ports have generally been found to be without foundation. Tin ores in in- considerable amounts have been dis- covered by the Geological Survey to ex- ist at Brooks Mountdin, near the head of Lost River and four miles north of the Lost River tin deposits; the hills east of Don River; Ears Mountain, about fifty miles north of Port Clar- ence; Asses Ears, about twenty miles south of Kotzebue Sound, and the Dio- mede Islands, in Bering Strait, about thirty miles west of Cape Prince of Wales. . The conclusions reached by the Geo- logical Survey from a review of the discoveries of tin are of interest. They are given in full as follows: The facts show cassiterite to be rather irregularly distributed through an area of about 450 square miles, embracing the western end of Seward Peninsuia. At three localities— Anikovik River, Buhner Creek and Buck Creek —its_occurrence in placers has been verified by the Geological Survey, and lode tin has been found by the survey River and at Cape Mountain. There a number of other places where prospectoPs report its oc- currence in lode or placer form. The tin ore ia almost all cassiterite, though a little stannite has been found at one localit Its original source is in deposits of at lea: two essentially different types. n the one it is in quartz veins, which cut phyllites or Ietamorphic slates: in the other the cassiterite is disseminated through more or less altered granitic rocks. This second type of lode de- posit is the one which gives promise of com- mercial imoortance. In estimating the value of tin ores in this northern region several facts shouid be borne in mind. The region is utterly without tim- ber and is accessible by ocean steamers onfy from June to the end of October at the longest. and all _supplies small outla e within & few miles of tidewater. Tates to Puget Sound ports should be very low, the large fleet of ocean steamers which Last summe mn to Nome return empty. upward of 8,000 ton of freight BALFOUR TALKS 0f THE FUTURE Premier Discusses National Events on Centennial of the Birth of Beaconsfield SAYS OUTLOOK IS GOOD Statesman Attaches Much Importance to England’s Agreement With France R LONDON, May 6.—The annual demonstration of the Primrose League | attracted an enormous gathering at Albert Hall to-day, being the centen- ary year of the birth of the late Lord Beaconsfleld. The decorations were more elaborate than usual. 1 Premier Balfour’s address was not i of much intergst internationally. He took a roseate view of Great Britain's foreign relations. The foreign affairs jof this country were, he declared, in |a happy and prosperous condition. i Balfour attached enormous value to | the Anglo-French agreement, because he believed it was going to prove a| permanent arrangement. : Foreign Secretary Lansdowne am‘lI ‘Foreign Minister Delcasse had done | | work which was not only beneficial to | their respective countries, but to the ‘V\hole world. Balfour referred to the | Far East as the “‘despair of European statesmen,” and pointed out that the Government did not purpose to play into the hands of revolutionists, “who would rather see genuine reform fail | than succeed lf it did not cover all| | their demands.’ ! | The Premier closed with lectur‘nx | the opposition on their attitude to-| ward the colonies, especially in regard {to CHinese labor, and declaring that nothing but the unity of the | Unionist party would finally lay the specter of home rule or protect great | imperial interests from the injury with | which they were threatened. e e — | Murderer Must Hang. | GREAT FALLS, May 6.—George Hli- ’ | boka, convicted of murder in the first | | degree, was to-day sentenced by Judge | Leslie to hang June 15. Hliboka mur- | | dered and robbed his companion, | | George Sedlack, securing about $800. | He was captured at Grand Forks, N.| D. On the stand his defense was that | Sedlack had thrown whisky in his eyes | | and made him crazy. | —_———— Bicycle Races at Ingleside. | There will be a bicycle race meeting | at Ingleside track on June 5. In ad- ition to the wheel events there will | | be automobile and motor races. The ;(ycnng numbers will be two and five handicaps one-mile novice; mile | three and five mile motor cycle handi- {cap. The automobile events will be announced later. — | CONVICTED OF BURGLARY.—Arthur Risher was convicted by a jury in Judge Lawlor's court yesterday on a charge of burglary. He | entered the room of Millie Clarke at 315 O'Far- reil street. Millle received a lecture from the Judge for coming to court on Thursday after- noon in an inebriated condition. There fs an- other charge against Risher, and the case was continued till to-day to be set. DEMURS TO ROONEY'S COMPLAINT.— Hermann Oelrichs, executor of the estate of the {late C. L.
