The smaller cleanup is expected to
run into something over $100,000. In all
there will be about &I50,000 for the
year endinp September 1. There are
about 2.10 men in the camp. Most of
the work is being done with wood fires.
Ooe prospector used woodfires, but
hid a boiler for sinking shafts and
prospecting. He took out 7,000 buckets
of rich pay.
The camp will probably produce
twice as much per capita as any other
camp in Alaska, but it is in a bad way,
and many contemplate leaving it soon
The clean up will begin in three weeks.
Water is running a little now."
