relief when Jack Frosit and his
blood-chilling companion, old
Boreas, decided to betake

Unuk Placer Gold Is
Hard To Recover
Placer gold of the “flour”
variety exists in the tributar
ies of the Unuk river but is
very hard t'o recover, according
to findings made by Bruce and
John Johnson, brothers, who
returned to Ketchikan recently
from a two months prospecting
trip in the Unuk district.
Samples of gold bearing
sands brought back by them
were found to contain quanti
ties of exceedingly fine gold,
which is very difficult to sluice
and could not be recovered by
them, although mercury was
employed in the riffles of their
sluices.
