(Continued.)
Several parties have left here
lately for the Chaslie River country
vie, Circle. Quite a sum of money
has been raised here this fall to
iin&nce one of these expeditions. I
am informed by reputable author
ity that encouraging prospects have
been encountered there this sum
mer, sufficient to warrant further
investigation.
A few prospectors are going over
to the Good Pasture and from
L.ivengood, Tolovana, a number are
heading for the Rampart district.
Every one here is more or less
restless and eager to be on the
move, but where to go? is the
sticker.
The old Sourdoughs is very re
luctant to leave his familiar stamp
ing grounds and follow the younger
generation in the “trek” to the out
side, well realizing the indubitable
fact that he is, due to his long re
sidence in this country disadvant
ageous^ handicapped, and here re
remains, (an. anomaly, engaged in
and employed in one of the most
useless and unnecessary vocations,
viz “Gold Mining”) aggressive, self
reliant, and optimistic, patiently
waiting the discovery, the Strike,
and the big clean up and—easy
street.
Truly is life a joke, to many
grim and rtagic, to a fortunate few,
an endless comedy, replete with
mirth and humor.
Yesterday I was out to St. Patrick
creek about eight miles from town.
McDonald and Co. are working
there, employing twenty three men
—the largest camp in the district—
the ground is 140 ft. deep, frozen
within 40 ft. of bodrock. Has to,be
timbered, and is wet, water seeping
thdough bedrock. The ground is
fairly rich, running better than
$3.00 per square feet. The water
pumped from the mine furnish
sluicing water which due to admir
able arrangements of closed boxes
etc permits of dirt being washed
as hoisted.
I am going outside as soon as
the Lestor case is dsposed of. I
expect immediate action. The im
migration department s making ar
rangements for his deportation. We
sort of compromised with the au
thorities. They agreed to drop all
charges against the accused if we
could arrange through the immigra
tion Department the deportation. I
expect its consummation within a
few days. Other wise will proceed
with appeal.
Well Good Bye. Kind regards
to all old friends and the best of
good fortune to the “Worker” and
all power to local 240 the sole sur
viving Rebel of the once formidable
and mighty W. F. of M.
