THE STRIKE
AT RUBY GREEK
(Special Correspondence)
Hl'BY. Juno 22 ? The stampede
which took place into this section
within the past few- weeks as the
result of the discovery of pay on
Long Crei k ha- now passed the ex
citement staite and the question Wv
mains to be solved as to whether it
will bo a oamp or not.
The pay was found in s round which
is about sixteen feet in depth and
averages approximately one dollar t<<
the square foot of bedrock. The
creek is about 25 miles in length
and the discover? was made about It'
miles from its head.
Som? 4?H> people have stampeded
here and about half that number of
tents constitute the now City of Ruby
which is situated at the mouth of
Ruby Creek on the left bank of the
Yukon almost directly opposite th?
mouth of Mie Mokwt River Stakes
ha\e boon driven all over the coun
try and \ ecy little room was left for
new comers a few days after the
first rush. Had the pay been found ;
in a v irgtn country it might be re- 1
garded as a strike of the first im- j
portance but the fact that the sec
tion has been prospected for several
years without any notable result has
somewhat dampened the enthusiasm
of the new population. Right where
the town now stands mining was car
ried on before but no real pay was
found, and Long Creek itself has
several barren holes to bedrock. The j
present pay has. however, been ?
found on the benches and the belief
pre* is that the pay in other places
w:ll also be uncovered some distance
from the bed of the creek, and this t
theory is advanced to show why pay
was not discovered before.
The town is sitnated about thirty
five miles from discovery and already
has three stores and a couple of res
taurants. Prices for provisions in
the town are reasonable as steam
boats touch here all the time on the
way up and down the river. Freipht
by pack train to the creeks is now
?a cents which is Just half the price
charged at first. Very little pros
pecting will be done here for some
time and there is nothing whatever
in sicht at present for laborers. The
ground is frozen and boilers will
have to be put in use so that the
winter season will be awaite d by
most prospectors to get their mach
itv-ry over the trails.
