The Yukon River, Mike Mess, Hureka
and B g Mim o Creeks, each bounding
one of tile four sides, may be said to
lonu a frame lor a country covering ap
proximately 1,000 square miles of rich
gravel deposits, quart/, ledges and coal
beds. Also an alm>st continuous net
work of gold bearing streams, very few
of which have been prospected to any
extent, while with one exception—Idaho
Bar—the bars have heretofore been tota
lv neglected but now that the prospector
has found that there is scarcely a ques
tion that the extensive bars, the feeders
of the creeks, this season will see a great
nu mber of people extensive! v prospecting
them, as well as large forces of men em
ployed in developing the extensive quartz
discoveries made on Mike Mess recently.
Leaving the districts of this country
for another issue, we will move west ward
far enough to place ourselves in an ad
jo' mug territory just as large and prom
ising and equally easv of access. Here
we again hint almost a reproduct’on of
the Klondike King Dome. This moun
tain being a mass o{ slam and quart/.,
skirted on every side bv alluvial deposits
and from the uniform piospecls found
on every creek claiming its source in
this mountain one would be almost led
to overlook the large beds of gravel, bars
and evident old river channels. Which
conclude that it furnishes the gold for
the score of creeks surrounding it. the
most important so fur being barnct. Rus
sian and Rock flowing north and eumtv
ing into the Yukon.
Ruby and Mate ilow.ng cast into Rig
Mivook, while boulder drains a large
area on the western slope and within a
few miles becomes a tributary of Granite,
another creek almost as large as Rig Mi
nook and draining a territorv as exten
sive as either before described. And
these, by virtue of a comparatively lim
ited number of men to cover such im
mense fields, remain in the original.
The growing feeling among min
ers. seems to be. that all the creeks
should be under a uniform law, as
it is, hardly a iy two creeks in the
district provide for a uniform sys
tem or amount of assessment work.
The U S.Milling Laws are fair to
all, and why the miners should le^
islale to do double the work really
required under these laws, is a mys
tery.
The}' themselves are the losers
in the end, it has 1 een defended
that it causes claims to be develop
ed but, judging by the past, it only
means that a man has to bail on the
claim tor a longer period. By put
ting all claims under one law, a
vast amount ot time which is lost
poring over the diffeieut records
ot the various creeks to find out
what is neces.'.ary to be done, would
be saved.
When our commissioner arrives,
there should be a coneeite 1 action
among the miners, to have him ] nt
all the creeks under one la w \ i; .
lb S Mining Laws onlv.
J. Langford states that the assay
of the quartz, from his claim, is as
follows; $33.37 in gold and .50 in
silver, no nase metal, and is 01 a
