TOLSTOI DISTRICT DISCLOSES
SOME PAY GROUND, BUT
NOT SUFFICIENT TO
JUSTIFY STAMPEDE
(Iditarod Pioneer)
During the past week there have
been several arrivals in the city and
district from the Tolstoi district, and
the reports they bring as to develop
ments there vary from the optimistic
to the pessimistic. All the returned
prospectors seem to be agreed, how
ever, that while pay dirt has not
been found in sufficient quantities to
warrant a belief that a permanent
camp will be established, yet there
are good indications that a pay streak
may be developed. Some are even en
thusiastic enough to predict that a
camp of considerable size will be es
tablished there, but as a rule these
predictions seem to be founded n
hope rather than fact. It is notice
able that there is no inclination to
invest money there as yet, and the
tide of travel seems to have set in
from the diggings instead of toward
them. It is said that many of those
now there are preparing to leave.
From the various reports brought
in, the opinion is formed that practi
cally the only “pay” ground so far de
veloped is that on Boob creek, cover
ing, as far as present new.s goes, but
three claims. It is still claimed by
some, however, that there is pay on
other creeks, but prospects that here
tofore have been reported as having
pay have been found to show noth
ing that would justify their being
worked.
Because of the fact that the pay on
Boob creek seems te be confined to a
small area, and that neither above I
nor below that point has anything of
value been found, the belief is general
that an ancient river bed runs at
right angles with that creek, and
there has been considerable prospect- 1
ing on the benches, without, however, .
finding anything in the nature of
pay, though it is said that large
gravel deposits have been encoun- ,
tered.
Among those who returned from
the district during the week were
Clarence White, “Big Lars” Otness,
Louis Muir and Billy Kay.
“Big Lars” is among those who be
lieve that the pay on Boob creek will
be found in the benches and it is un
derstood to be his intention to return
there in the fall and do considerable
' prospecting work.
A letter received by Postmaster
William Ansley from the new town of
Cooper, dated June 1, states that the
first boat to arrive at the new camp
was the Loew-Victor, the vessel own
ed and operated by Dan Gillis, who is
well known here. Haley & Griffis got
their freight as far as the mouth of
Madison. Jack Mutchler had just ar
rived with horses from Woodchopper
I and stampeders were arriving from
! all directions. The letter was of an '
| optimistic nature and stated that the
indications were that Cooper would
, become a good camp.
