Jim Langford is taking out good pay
on tile lower end of 6a Little Minook.'
Pearson & Williams, laymen on the up
per end of 5a, struck a body of good
pay which they run clear to the line of
6a. Langford gave the men a lay and
went to work with them.
The strike on the bar between Ome
ga and Thanksgiving by Joe Kaminski,
is the latest find made public. Joe kept

ed in buying some valuable ground for
a song. One claim, the property of T.
Lindsajr, is said to be exceptionally rich.
- Pay extends from the moss to bedrock,
four feet. * Pans of $1.50 on bedrock
are common. Kaminski bought this
claim from Mr. Lindsay for $175.
J*i C. Williams and Walter Buckley
came in from Quail creek Wednesday.
Williams will return to 12b Quail next
Tuesday, and Buckley will work on
Glen during the summer. Williams is
interested with Olson & Chapman in 12b
and reports everything all ready to
commence shovelling in with the first
appearance of water. Prospecting the
ground the past winter has shown up a
paystreak about twenty-five feet wide,
panning from 8c to 25c. Both Olson
and Chapman are expected in tonight.

No interruption i o Mali
Service This Spring
Arrangements have been completed
with Dr. Lind at Unalaklik, by Mail
superintendent Corbusier, to carry the
mails across the Kaltag portage with
reindeer, packing the animals after the
trails give out. The weight limit can
thus be easily handled and no interrup
tion, of the service is anticipated during
the breaking up of the Yukon. Horses
will be used between Unalaklik and St.
Michaels. These methods will be used
until the season allows the steamers to
make, regular runs between St. Michael
and Tanana, and in the meantime an
uninterrupted service can be counted
Upon: no matter what the condition of
the trails of river.
The Nome people have much to thank
Supt. Corbusier for, as many’times he
has held his carriers at Tanana await
ing the arrival of the Valdes mails, and
then made up this loss in time on the
run to Unalaklik. This frequently got
outside mail into Nome a week ahead
of time. St. Michaels and Nome mails <
will be forwarded to Rampart when
ever it is possible to do so. .regardless
of the fact that the April service ac
cording to contract, was completed by
the departure of mail for Eagle, April
11. We may thus expect mail from
the lower river and the coast as fast as
it arrives at Tanana.
S. A. Cutting and S. A. Yantiss re
turned from Fairbanks the past week.
Tomorrow is Palm Sunday. Layman
Chilson will speak on, ‘ ‘The triumphal
entry into Jerusalem.”
Carrier Schaber arrived from Tana
na with mail Thursday. He left the (
following morning for upriver, meeting
Carrier Harper at the Coal mine, and
after exchanging mails, arrived back
at Rampart this morning.
