OPEN CUTTING
ON BIG MINOOK
m
M. W. Sinclair came in from 67a and
68a Big Minook last Thursday evening
for supplies returning yesterday. He
reports having succeeded in running an
open cut over 200 feet long on 67a
8-feet wide, which in many places is to
bedrock. Fred Kolning is working with
him. Together they will widen the cut
to thirty feet before shovelling in.
Sinclair states that he never saw the
water as low in Big Minook as at pre
sent, but that this condition has rather
assisted than delayed him, as he had to
construct a 70-foot dam. He has pan
ned good prospects and expects to give
the ground a good test in thirty days.
All Trails In Fine Condition
The prevalent dearth of water on the
creeks is causing many, usually busy
at this season, to visit the camp for a
short time. All report the trails ideal,
and that it is possible to travel the win
ter trail on Big Minook in slippers.
While enjoying these unusual conditions
it is conceded that plenty of rain is the
more preferable to the summer miner.
The steamer P. B. Weare passed on
d 'wn-river at an early hour.
