Probably no other creek in the camp
has furnished a more substantial argil-'
in ait, in favor of small gulch or creek !
prospecting, by the man of limited means,
than Little Minook Jr. It can boast of i
only forty odd claims and can show ex
tensive development on little more than
half a dozen properties; yet figures for j
season’s clean-up are sufficient to set
thousands of nun to work, if we only i
had them, on the numerous small streams
cutt ing the ancient deposits now proven
t»» exist, and with equal possibilit.es of
carrying gold in paying quantities.
Tae 1 unite i prospecting that has been
done, has so f ir established the fact that
tbase creeks all have narrow channels.
a».d the go il well concentrated and in a
very lew instances water has not given
1 lie miners tin* trouble encountered on
some ot the larger streams.
Little Minook Jr. is one of half a score
«d -working creeks topping the a lie lent
channel running north and south from
Idaho to McDonald bar, thence dropping
in o big Minook and following it to Slate
Creek, as the gold taken from big Min
ook properties Imui 17 above to s.S estab
lishes. Main- people who rushed to Nome
last spring returned to thjse proper
ties broke and are now conteutedlv tak
ing out a ho nestake; whiie practic il mi
ners are turning their attention to the
low bars at the mouth of Little Minook Jr.
Hoosier, P'iorid 1, an 1 others for the pur
pose of hydraulic tig. These bars all
lay well for such work, having ample fall
and dumping ground and incuring but lit
tle expense for water taken from big Mi
nook or any of the streams depositing
tli rein, from winch they have received a
r real portion of their wealth .
The probable result of this season’s
work on Little Minook, ir. can only be
approximately had by proportioning this I
year's labor with last, which though 1 ini- j
ited as it was and causing the prospect
ing of so few claims give an estimated re- .
turn of$45,000, even figures

Jack Crowley: Idaho bar is about
t ,ooo feet above the Yukon and the !
sun was out of sight of its summit
. three weeks this winter. For some
unaccountable reason then is and
always has been a difference of 25
degrees in temperature between the
camp and the bai. Omck silver
has not frozen up there all winter
and during the last cold snap in
camp it was but 2 below with us.
How do you account for i; ?
