. Alaska, its history and resources, gold fields, routes and scenery . size of anugget taken out by the winter process of mining. Itwas found in Franklyn Gulch, March 26, 1894, by Con-rad Dahl. It weighed exactly thirty ounces before, andtwenty-nine and forty-five one-hundredths ounces after, being melted at the Mint in San Francisco. Dahl hadprospected in the vicinity the summer before, and in thewinter thawed the ground by burning wood on top, andcontinued the process until he reached bedrock, hauledthe dirt out, and washed it afterwards. The nuggetbrought S491.45. The next few years will probably determine whetheror not there are any extensive deposits of gold quartz in IQO ALASAA the interior of Alaska. Until the past season most ofthose have ^onc there liave been men of very Hmitedmeans, and the difficulty of ^ettin^ supplies in from thecoast has been so ^reat that they were taxed to theutmost to land at the scene of their labours with foodsufficient to last them for a single season.

It is fair to suppose when goldis found upon every stream or creek, that somewhere inthe mountains there must be rich quartz ledges.
