Tolstoi Camp
Looking Better
As Developed
(Iditarod Pioneer)
Quite a numerous party arrived
from the Tolstoi last evening, some of
them as passengers on the Prairie
Bell from Dikeman and others in
small boats. Among the number were
John (“Scotty”) Auld, Jack McDon
ald, Earl Hunt. Jim Blodgett, Jerry
Baker, Joe Gilchrist, Joe McDowell,
and Deputy Marshal Billy Thomas.
Some of the party are said to have
had interesting experiences during
the journey down the Innoko with
boats propelled by “rutabagas” as the
small detachable gasoline motors are
termed. The trip in some instances J
was quite a lengthy one.
Earl Hunt said last night that al-1 <
though many persons had left the !
district it usually was in order to se- •
cure employment during the summer
with the object of making a grubstake <
for fall work, and that few if any '
prospectors were discouraged. He
said that shortly prior to his depart- J
ure a man named Pete Montaigne, j
who had claims on Wilson creek, a ;
tributary of Mastodon, had brought to
the town of Tolstoi $3 in coarse gold
from his shaft. He had heard no es- :
timate of the value of the ground, but -
it was generally considered a good ’
prospect.
Another new prospect was reported
by Pete Murdock and H. Nicholson,
who were developing a claim at the
head of Ledge creek.
But little prospecting was being
done at present because of unfavora
ble conditions, but a great deal of
work would be done during the com
ing fall and winter.
Bob Robertson has taken a lay on c
three claims on Mastodon creek, Nos
2, 3 and 4 above, and is working there.
Mike Laboski and F. Fennell report
having good prospects on Ledge
creek.
W. A. Vinal and Ed Oksanen, the
latter an old Ophir man, just returned
from the Koyukuk, have taken a lay >
on No. 3 below, Boob creek.
Jim Pitcher, who has pay on one of (
his claims on Boob creek, has started
a shaft on an adjoining claim.
Greer & McNulty, who have done r
some sluicing on their Boob creek \
claims, have encountered water difft- .
culties. They will hoist gravel from j <
two shafts.
PARTY FROM THE TOLSTOI <
OPTIMISTIC OF ITS FUTURE t
(Iditarod Pioneer)
A party consisting of Jack Rose,
Jack Mutchler, Louis Sevier and Mrs.
Bates, arrived early on Tuesday mor
ning from the Tolstoi, coming in a
small power boat.
Jack Mutchler will return in a’few
days, He is confident of the future
of the new camp, and states that
there is a general feeling of optimism
in the district. While no prospecting
work is being done at present, he ex
pects this fall to see much activity
there. Several persons are talking of
taking in prospecting drills.

Dredger Mining
in Iditarod and i
Near-by Districts
(Iditarod Pioneer)
As intimated in last week’s Pioneer
the air is filled with rumors of dred
ges to be installed on near-by creeks
in the immediate and remote future.
With the arrival of the Little Delta
on Thursday last came the first ship-1
ment of the new dredge for “George” j
Riley and associates, which is to be |
installed at the mouth of Black creek I
immediately. The desire to have the
machine in operation at the earliest
possible moment may be estimated by '
the fact that the heavy stuff is to be
hauled over the roads immediately,
without waiting for snow.
The Riley dredge is of the same
pattern as the one now in operation
by the Otter Dredge company, on Ot
ter creek, and of the same capacity.
It is, however, fitted with semi-Diesel
engines, and the fuel used will be j
crude oil, instead of distillate, which
is used by the machine which has been
in operation for the past two years
and more. It is probable that the new ]
dredge will be in operation before the
freeze-up this fall.
To Develop Moore Creek.
John Beaton, the well-known Otter
creek operator, and the discoverer of
gold in the Iditarod district, recently j
j has secured options on large tracts of j
ground on Moore creek, and ne$t
| month will start a large force of men
! to work with prospecting drills to de
j termine the extent and width of the ;
I known pay on that stream. It is the
; intention of Mr. Beaton and associ-'
i ates to install a dredge for the devel

ipment of the claims should the drill
ests warrant it, and there is no doubt
n the minds of mining men acquaint
'd with the possibilities of Moore
reek that it will more than justify
he expenditure required in installing
he dredge.
For years claims on that creek j
lave been yielding good returns, al
hough mining has been carried on on
i small scale only. Drill tests made
ast year on ground owned by Joseph
1. Smith of this city and others re-!
sealed extensive areas of ground that
vould return handsome profits as a
Iredging proposition.
The claims upon which Mr. Beaton
las secured options are those of Mr.
smith, Cecil Barlow, Jack Folsom and
ithers. Negotiations are also pending
or other large tracts.
In the Kuskokwim.
Luther C. Hess, the Fairbanks
>anker and mining man, is said to be
:ontemplating installing a dredge on
tlarvel creek, in the Kuskokwim dis
,rict. Marvel creek has been the scene
>f considerable mining activity in the
rears past, and while some rather dis
istrous failures are connected with its
listory, these failures have been rath
:r the result of mismanagement or in
:xperience than lack of mineral pos
sibilities, according to report. Mr.
Hess is said to have large holdings
>n Marvel creek, and is negotiating
’or other tracts. It is almost a cer
;ainty that the known riches of Mar
vel creek will not be allowed to remain
intouched much longer, and it would
lot be at all surprising were a dredge
;o be installed there soon.
FUNDS FOR IDITAHOD ROADS
APPORTIONED BY BOARD
(Iditarod Pioneer)
Commissioner Guy' G. Geraghty has
received telegraphic advices to the ef
fect that the Alaska road commission

ent season. Instructions for the dis
bursement of this munificent sum will
follow by mail, according to the tele
gram, which is from R. J. Sommers,
superintendent.
C. J. Jenkins has been reappointed
to the position of road supervisor for
this district, and will commence work
