BIG KUSH INTO THE
CASSIAK D1STKICT WHEN
SNOW GOES
Inspector T. W. S. Parson, of
the provincial police who has been
sPeiuling several days in the
city on police work, sajs the
Dease Lake section will be the
scene of a great gold rush as soon
as the snow goes off in spring.
Since the story of gold finds came
out last fall possibilities of th®
creeks in the district have been
gone over, and the concensus of
opinion is that they will merit a
season’s prospecting.
Gold Pan Creek, which is
said to be in the center of the
new field, is about *2 mils from j
Telegraph Creek, and there is a
very fair wagon road runing
from the trading center on the
St.kme to within a few miles of
!
the finds liuiae last summer. It
will be one oj the most accessible
iu.ucs opened up in the history
of the piovince, and hundreds
eau be counted upon going into
t in Dense iake section who would
not give mote difficult section a
s-'cimd thought.
Tin? management of the Hud"
Ison’s Bay Company is so much
. ...“"H
of the Dease Lake section that
it has made arrangements to
open an hotel and trading post
in the vicinity of the new finds.
The transportation requirements
of the district will la* looked after
by a provincial company which
has madearrangments to operate
a line of trucks on from Tele*
graph Greek. j
The Dease Lake section is
not a new one in placer mining,
as a number of claims have been
work in the past, but it is a fairly
large district, and there is no
disposition on the part of those
familiar with it to discount the
claims made by the discovered J
of gold last September.
DOG TE AMS WILL BE A
MEMORY WHEN INTREPID
AVIATOR COMUS BACK
San Francisco - Plans to stirt'
an air mail service among Ahsk
an cities by the United Stites
postoffice department brought
to “the States" Noel Wien, head
[)ilot of the Alask i Aerial Trans
portal ion Company, with the pr
ediction that airp a es in time
will drive the dog teams from
the main thoroughfares ol tiie
frozen wastes.
Wien is en route to Omaha
to report on flying conditions
in Alaska He said his company
has been operating three airplan
es out of Fairbanks and that
next summer two more will be
added of suffici nt power to
to take passengers and freight
ocross the mountain range.
Wien predicted that the next
big gold rush in Alaska will bi i g
air transportation still more into
play. Distances now are being
cut down, and travelers who for
merly required weeks to reach
a destination use plar.es and get
there in a few hours. The advant
age to the feverish gold seeker
would be enormous.
Snow, icy rain and the usual
Alaskan winter weather condit
ions affect the operations of pla
nes but little. Wien reported.
Everything usually goes along
smoothly when the plane is in
the air, but landing conditons
are not so good A pilot may bring
