NEWS ABOUT THE
LOWER YUKON
During a recent interview, our
reporter gleaned the following Inter
esting news items from Special agent
Thomas Gaffney, who recently re
turned from an extended trip, along
th lower Yukon. He reports things
are very quiet at Fortuna Ledge
this winter, very little mining and
prospecting on Wilson creek.
Shorty Edgar and partners got two
holes to bedrock, about 25 feet deep
but in the third hole they had diffi
culty with water. They spoke op
timistically and were inclined to
think there was a good chance of
locating a good paystreak. Wilson
creek was the first creek in that
section on which pay was found.
A. G. Oliver is running the moving
picture show and making prepara
tions to move out to Jungletown
abandoning his intentions of moving
to the Iditarod. Jos Crabtree has
been prospecting with little success.
John Monahan and a number of
former Nomietea are hibernating at
Marshall.
Regarding the strike at Good News
Bay, Mr. Gaffney says he traveled
with the Commissioner from Akiak
who said that fifty claims ware
recorded. The creek on which pay
was first discovered is called Water
moose, after the native who found
the pay. It Is a short creek and
no prospecting was done outside of
the claim on which pay was first
discovered. The diggings are shal
low and runs $1.68 to the square
foot of bedrock. The Akiak Com
missioner said that he had stamped
ed to the creek in November, along
with some other parties. They did
no prospecting as the creeks were
all glaciered when they arrived.
After staking claims on a creek they
called Oympic, they came back
to the Kuskokwim. There is no
timber and it is a difficult country to
get supplies into. Mr. Gaffney’s in
formant did not encourage any stam
pede although he said the country
to the Northeast of Watermoose
creek looked like a pretty fair pros
pecting country being all rolling
hills. Frank Waskey confirming
this last statement said it has the
same formation as the Nome countrj
and looked good to an intelligent
prospector. It is situated towards
the head of the Tojeak river about
150 miles inland.
Mr. Gaffney believes the fishing
will supersede the mining if the
present demand for food continues.
Fish are extraordinarily plentifu' on
the lower Yukon and in Behring Sea.
Considerable staking of fishing sites
were in evidence at different places,
le feels certain that the fishing in
dustry is going to be the large per
manent business of Northwestern
Alaska. He visited the quartz mine
at Bluff which is operated by Meegan
and partners. He feels there is no
question of the mine being a suc
cess . The shaft is about 100 feet
deep, part vertical and part in
cline following the dip of the veru.
The ledge matter is of a soft nature
and can be picked down. The ledge
has been cross-cut in a number of
places with values increasing as-it
goes down. There is is a large
dump out which will be milled as
soon as the water runs. The mill
returns on thirty tons of ore run
through last fall show conclusively
that the mine can be run very
profitably even on a small scale.
“Asked about the political situa
I tion, Mr. Gaffney stated he was not
in politics. He was as tight as the
“Clam” on the subject. (This is!
something most extraordinary for I
a man who is familiar with the re
gion surrounding the famous Blarney '
Stone.) He emphatically refused!
to discuss any official business."

difficult words, the average for the
entire school was 97%. (This is a
remarkable high average and speaks
well of Mr. Southward’s ability as
an instructor.)
Considerable prospecting is being
done on the creeks in the immediate
vicinity of Kiana. Several windlass
dumps of fairly good pay dirt are
being extracted on Kleary, Central
and Noatak creeks.

named Mr. Thomas, of Point Hope,
and Paul Davidovich also left on the
3rd. The latter were bound for
Icy Cape.
The weather up there was ideal
until about the first of March, since
then it has been periodically blizz
ardly. The thermometer registered
55 below around the Christmas hol
idays, in the vicinity of Kiana, and
about 70 below on the Noatak river.
Game, such as ptarmigan, rabbits,
etc., have been rather conspicuous
by their absence during the winter.
The native trappers have secured
a number of fox and linx.

prospective Senator, was manipulat

Apparently Martin Moran will carry
most of the outlying districts for
Senatorial honors. The chances of

about even, with possibly Downing

Elmer Rydeen and Mrs. Dimmick

Oscar Wick and Charlie Wolfe are

Mr. Devine will remain with us

Kiana is one of the oldest miniog
