VALDEZ BAY
FROZEN OVER
Valdez Bay froze over last
month for the first time in sev
eral years, the ice extending
practically to the Narrows.
The ice was attributed to an
exceptionally heavy snow and
rainfall lasting four days, dur
ing which it was estimated 5
feet of snow fell, followed by
a sudden drop in the temperat
ure, after the storm.
Eleven feet of snow was re
ported as falling at Grandview,
on the Alaska Railroad during
the same storm.
RICH PAY FOUND
IN SULLIVAN DISTRICT
On a mining property on
Woodchopper Creek, Sullivan
district, interior Alaska, owned
by Mike and John Miljvich,
Mike Miljvich has developed a
rich paystreak averaging, so
far as has been determined, 30
cents to the pan, with an occas
ional $5 and $6 pan. As soon
as the discovery was made
known in the camp, Andrew
Bock, the biggest operator in
that part of the country after
an investigation offered a sub
stantial cash consideration for
the property, which was refus
ed. Mike Miljvich, who is doing
the exploration, has bedrocked
three holes and has found good
pay in all of them. He is con
1 fident he has uncovered real
bonanza diggings.
