REPORTS VERY ENCOURAGING
FROM "GOOD NEWS" CAMP
$9,600 Taken From One Claim in 2
Menths. Miners Working Ground
Controlled by Fishermen Employ
ed at CJi>neries.
SEWARD, .March 17? The lae^t
reports reci-i\ ed troiu the strike to
i lie westward in what ts now known
as the Uooii News Hay country ato
encouraging. The region was stak
ed for mining purposes largely by
fishermen who were employed at the
salmon canneries In and about Nush
Ogak. being more familiar with tbe
sei.ne and line than they were with
the pick anil shovel, they let lays to
the more experienced mining men who
flocked to the country In answer to
the news of the strike on Butte
i creek.
The result is that some \ery sys
tematic prospecting has been <airried
on tJiis winter, and as spring corac*
on, the indications are that the coun
try will make a good camp. Word
was receive:! on the steamer Dora
that gains credence for the grow
ing rumor that there Is a good
chance for a new camp out in the
hitherto unsuspected region.
The letter is to the effect thai
the writer had just returned from
Butte creek in the Good News Hay
diggings to Nushagak after grub. He
states that the country Is looking
good and that encouraging prospec.s
have been *ound on almost all of the
creeks where any work has been
done.
Most of the work has been con
fined to Butte creek. whore the
original discovery was made. On No.

by Albert Gabrielson, which is work

1 11' raldson. a hole has been wink
through the false bedrock tn the
true bedrock, a depth of 3,*. feet,
but no pay was found below the
false bedrock.
The formation of the country is

On .lac k creek, a pup entering Butt

miners named sharp and Stratton
from Nome are crosscutting the
creek. They encountered four fert
of gravel 'hat pans about $7 to the

Butte creek is about 10 claims long
and has plenty of water. Some of
the ground is frozen, but tbe greater
part of it is no< and miners are hav
