ON THE CREEKS
J. W. Moore has sold his interest
in the lower Hoosier hydraulic
plant to A. H. Monroe.
Adams & Gordon have washed
up their dump on 13a Hoosier.
They had a good cleanup for the
amount of dirt taken out.
Hill, Climie & Calham, discovery
Hoosier, are now whipsawing lum
ber for their flume for carrying the
entire water on the creek onto the
bench.
y
McTean & Evans, on 25 L. M.
Jr., are washing up the largest
dump ever taken out on that creek
—15,000 buckets. It was supposed
that the claim would be worked
out this season, but McEean says
it will take one and possibly two
years to do it.
The upper Hoosier hydraulic
plant is almost ready for opera
tions. The lumber is now distrib
uted along the entire line of ditch,
ready to strengthen any weak por
tion. Were it not tor the ice in
the ditch the giant could now be at
work.
Krastning & Carlson, laymen on
R. H. Wright’s Thanksgiving
claim, had the first cleanup on the
creek a few days ago. The two
days run, with two men shoveling
in, netted 49^ ounces'. The other
men on the creek are doing equally
as well; Anderson & Olson, Wag
ner & Hederstrom, Fisher, Meston,
and Nick Nelson are all busy shov*
eling in.
George Shirley and Charley Mayo
returned from a prospecting trip in
the Troublesome country the early
part of the week. As soon as the
snow disappears they will return
and bedrock a shaft not yet fin
ished. Shirley is a strong believer
in the mineral wealth of that sec
tion, and he is supported in that
belief by every prospector who has
ever visited it.
CAPT. BBAY ARRIVES 1
.
Captain Bray, who left here last J
October to go to the outside, ar
I !
! rived from St. Michael Friday;
| night. The captain, it will be re
; membered, was left here in charge
! of the Susie’s barge, which was to |
j be picked up by the Louise on her
; down trip. The Louise never came
i —in fact she got no further than
i Cliff creek and lay there in the ice
i y ~
all whiter.
j Captain Bray arrived at Sc. Mi
chael too late to catch the last boat
for the states, and remained there
all winter. He left St. Michael
April 7, arriving in Tanana April
28. will take charge of his
barge, which is lying on the beach
in front of the N. C. Co., and thinks
he can bring her through the ice
break in good shape.
PHIL GODLY A SICK MAN
!
Jim Cummings and J. H. Dela
more arrived from Mike Hess
Thursday. The meu brought down ;
Phil Godly, former N. C. agent
here, with them. Godly is a sick ■
I man, and it is reported his actions;
are so peculiar as to indicate an un- j
balanced mind.
SQUAW CREEK' LOOKS GOOD
! , |
l Louie Iverson returned from up-1
. per squaw creek the past week. !
Louie and Tommy Laporte did con
siderable prospecting there last
j winter, as did also Pete Kolning
All the men feel that there is good
pay somewhere in the vicinity; but
: prospecting is slow on account of
late and early water in the creek.
: Laporte has traced three distinct
contacts between the rtfouth an4..
I
! the foothills.

| The entire length of Little Mi
nook is a busy scene these days.
1 Beginning at 9a and extending to
£a all the boys are shovelling in
j while the water is in good head.
