What Cheer Bar Co.
May Buy Boothby
It is reported on good authority that
the What Cheer Bar Company is nego
tiat'ng for the purchase of Boothby
creek. The company is now working
the creek under a lease.
A deal is also under way whereby j
Fairbanks are negotiating for the pur- i
chase of the company’s properties on
What Cheer bar. Whether this deal,
if completed, will also include the pro
perties on Boothby creek is not stated.
It is a fact, however, that an option is
now held on the What Cheer properties
and that this option has been recently
extended.

There has been some rain over here,
consequently .work is going on more
steadily. Gill is making some good
cleanups.
Frank Stevens is digging an exten
sion of the L. A. Jones ditch from
Rhode Island to Gold Run and is con
tinuing it on to Glen. This will bring
the water higher up on Glen.

Elusive Garnet Creek
Paystreak
Bill Barnette and J. C. Fluga return
er! a few days ago from an extended
prospecting trip in the Garnet creek
section. They put down several shafts
two over 36-feet in depth, but did not
locate any pay. The best prospects
were found in the shallower ground on
the high bars. Fluga is now working
on Ruby creek.
Garnet creek has long been consider
ed a likely creek, as gold can be found
all thru that section. The Garnet gold
is entirely dissimilar with that found on
any other creek in the camp. Since
the winter of 1898, however, the creek
has received but scant attention. The
results of Barnette and Fluga’s trip
will not stimulate iuterest in that sec
tion, altho none who have prospected
there will condemn the creek.
