MINER SAYS IDITAROD IS
GOING TO BE GREAT GAMP
That there are more and better proi?
pects shown in the Iditarod for the
amount or work done than in any
place she has been outside of Dawson,
?is the statement made by HonalU
Morrison in a letter sent to Judge
H. A. Day. United States Land Com
missioner.
if the paystreak proves as extensive
with developments as the prospects
show, two-thirds of Fairbanks will be
there inside of a year, he says.
"To Judge H. A. Day:
"1 came down on the Martha Clow.
I fetched with me a boat and boiler
and a year's supply of grub. The
steamer dumped us 100 miles from
the mouth of Otter. Everybody got
busy picking and sorting their goods,
as there was quite a crowd heading
for the diggings. I engaged a Swede
to tow me up with my supplies to the
mouth of Otter. 30 miles by the creek
from Discovery and 15 miles across
country. I cached my outfit and took
a pack on my back and walked across
the country. The walking was any
thing but good, but 1 got there right
side up.
"I found at Discovery lots of my
old friends and old timers. I panned
i on 1 above Discovery and found bet
ter than 4 to 20 cents per pan vary
ing in thickness from 20 to 36 Inches,
with five holes sunk across the valley
showing a width of 200 feet and no
tnds or sides in sight so far.
I got located in a promising looking
place and will not overlook any
thing that 1 can honestly get hold of
| and should opportunity present Itself
(o peg you here it wHl be attended to.
Everyone who lias been up the
creek and seen the paystreak has
i caught the fever with a very high
temperature and all are working llko
beavers to get located for tho winter.
"It skins any strike or place 1 have
| seen In the last five years and there
j arc more and better prospects shown
for the amount of work done than la
any place I have seen outside of Daw
son.
"As for myself I am here to stay
and no inducement could get me away
"There are at present 250 men with
good prospects of at least as many
more.
"With best wishes, etc.
Roualil Morrison."

EOSLYN, Wash. Oct. 8? The flama*
in the Northwestern Improvement
company's mine subsided yesterday
and this morning a party entered the
mine and found eight mulee alive in
one of the upper nhaftB.
It is be'ieved that several of the
missing men are still alive and sov
oral relief parties are removing the
debris and making every effort to
penetrate the lower tunnels of the
mine.
J. W. Burnham, Dick Kennedy and
P. J. Kennedy of Spokane came down
last Friday from Rainy Hollow and
remained hero all week conferring
with Martin Conway, who has a third
Interest In the Rainy Hollow copper
properties. Mr. Burnham and Dick
Kennedy left for Rainy Hollow today,
going to Haines on the Hegg. P.
J. Kennedy will return to Spokane
on tho Humboldt.
The party had with them some re
markable specimenes of copper ore,
which will bo taken to Spokane by
P. J. Kennedy and 6hown to a numbo
of mining men there. Some of the
of the ore Is pure bornlto and wilf
run as high as 70 per cent copper.
There Is also considerable silver in
In tho ore and the gold values run
high in some samples. The main
vein of ore carries rich values and
Mr. Burnham has taken many assays,
which show from 22 to 54 per cent
copper.
There Is no doubt about the rich
ness of the ore. During tho summer
Mr. Burnham and Mr. Kennedy have
been at work and now have about
300 tons of ore ready for shipment.
About 100 tons of this ore will be
sacked, hauled out when winter sets
in, and shipped south to be smelted. ,
It will prove what the mine will do.
Messrs: Burnham, Conway and Ken
nedy make no secret that their mine
Ls for sale. Burnham and Kennedy
are the original miners in the Rainy
Hollow district They have stuck to
the country for eleven years and
done much In aiding its development.
They have toiled early and late and
they now think they have reached
a stage where they prove what they
have.
The partners will go south this
winter and after the smelter test is
made will endeavor to sell the mine.
Mr. Burnham is very enthusiastic
over the property. He says they have
the ore, the water power, an eauy
grade to Haines and he firmly be
lieves the Rainy Hollow Is destined
to be one of the big copper produc
ing camps of America.
