Men who have visited the work
ings of Rlngdahl & Co. on Cleary
creek, in the Fairbanks district, are
authority for the statement that the
richest pay ever known to exist on
Old Cleary, even in her palmiest
days, is now being mined there. In
fact, it is stated that it is no trouble
at ail to get pans running from $5
to $25 anywhere in the drift. It is
therefore expected that the operat
ors will take, out something like
$100,000 during the mining season.

Sumner S. Smith, federal mine in
spector for Alaska, returned yester
day from an inspection trip to the
Gold Quartz properties in the Wil
low creek district and the coal Helds
of Moose creek. Mr. Smith visited
the Gold Bullion on the way up ana
returned by the way of Independ
ence, Alaska Free Gold and the Ma
bel mines. Leaving the trail at Mile
28 he visited the coal ledge that
Stewart "opened up for the Alaska
Free Gold last winter and was work
ed by La Duke in getting out coal
for the commission. He also inspect- ,
ed the Doherty coal mine at the head
of Moose creek, returning to An- 1
chorage by the way of Matanuska
Junction.
Mr. Smith’s duties call for a thor- !
’ ough inspection of the mines and
mills for the safety of the men and
on this trip he says he found the un
derground conditions at the Gold
I Bullion, Independence, and Alaska
and Free Gold in fair shape, but
that the living quarters provided
' for the men had not been improved
! upon over last year, and in his opin
i ion the three, operators were losing
heavily by existing conditions. He
experienced very bad weather on
this trip and was in several snow
storms and heavy rains. Mr. Smith
has the enviable reputation of being
exceptionally thorough, competent
and conscientious in his work and is
giving the best 7>f satisfaction and
producing the required results and
says that it is his intention to rec
ommend that the legislature make
some provisions for the benefit of
the hard rock miner in this country,
more especially in regard to ade
quate accommodations, such as dry
ing rooms, bathing and washing fa
cilities and sanitary sle.eping quar
ters. This would nnt apply to all
properties, but only those whose out
put is sufficient to justify, as several
of the properties in the Willow creek
district. It is the opinion of Mr. j
Smith, absolutely from an unbiased
standpoint, that these operators are
losing enough money every season
to justfy the expenditure necessary
for proper accommodations. And
his standpoint is well taken for ev- j
ery season there are a large number
of miners who work for only a short
time and quit on account of poor
accommodations, just as they are be
ginning to get the run of things and
used to the work,
Mr. Smith will remain in Anchor
age for a few days on business con
nected with his department and
leave on the Hazel B. No. 2 for Su
sitna station and from there take a
boat to McDougal and into the Cache
creek country to inspect the condi
tions of the placer camps of that dis
trict.
