For mile to ibe west of Cap Norn the bench runs atrulght away In a ait.p of tide land, vao'lng from forty to six ty feet In width between high and low water murk, extending up to the "tun dra" or black alluvial soil, which Is form three to five f.vt higher than the bench proper. All of this tundra, and all of the territory along the creeks and rivers eiut nnd west for thirty or forty miles and back Into the mountains for ten or tw.Mve mlli. hnd bvn stak ed but on the long strip of tide lands no mnn hud a U'ttwr claim than anoth er, or could have, under the tide-land lnws, nnd here the grand army of gold rkcr candied nnd in very short ordr hnd cotiwrted the barren alrund Into a Klght of tremendous and enthus iastic Imltimry. At the same time busl-n.-sa of all kinds begun to resnnd to the boom from the beach, nnd the us ual collection of gambling hells, saloons and dune hulls went Into operation. At present It Is estimated that 1000 to U'lW miners are at work on the beuch, extending west for twenty mlVn. All these work with ivker, and they oc cupy Just a much territory to tho man or groups ns can work it. It Is not un usual for one small square bit of bench to nun out J10 to J15 an hour. but. of course, tlu space Is soon exhausted and thi. lucky digger must move to another spot. This bench deposit of gold Is as yet an unsolved problem. Ry some It Is claimed that the gold In the wind, which Is entirely "dust," hns txvn wa.ihed out from the tundru by the waves at high tlH and deposited thrtiKh hundreds of years In tho sand. It Is found hero now from two to five fet below the surface In the drift, nnd so plentiful that the miner who does not Unci It In paying iiuuntltles Is the exception. On the other hand, there are some who claim that the gold Is washed In from the m, nnd that the tvtil field or "mother lode" so to speak, Is to be reached and developed by dredging. There may be something In this theory, but the other seems to be the more ten able. The beach to the east of Cape Nome makes no such gold showing as does tho beach to the went, owing to the ex istence of a long reach of water or "lagonn," which lie a short distance back from the sea and parallel with It. Oold deposits along tho creeka In the Interior are quite as rich In one direc tion a the othor. The headquarters of the Cape Nome territory Is Anvil City so named from the shape of the mountain above It at the mouth of Snake river, although Tho Kitchen Sink ShouM not breed diseuHCH like typhoid fever or malaria.

There are very few so well ofT as this, however, fuel being scarcer than fool, but among the "beach combers" a novel plan will be adopted. Parties of four, six or eight will organise for winter operation by securing a large tent, spreading It on the bench on the ground they propose to work In, and there they will set up housekeeping. The canvass will be protected on the outside from the weather In every way possible, and stove will be kept swing on the Inside, to that the tent will not only be com fortable to live and to word In, but It will never freeae In there, and the min ing can go on quite as satisfactorily a If the balmy spring wits the only season known In the Cape Nome district.
