KOYUKUK REPORTS
STAMPEDERS BUSY
The high cost of fuel has compell
ed two hard rock outfits to suspend
operations on Fairbanks creek, ac
cording to information received from
Fairbanks recently. The Crites and
Feldman mine, at the head of Fair
banks creek, has been closed within
the past several days and no attempt
to resume operations will be made
until the fuel situation has been re
lieved. Tom Gilmore, who is opera
ing near by, is preparing to shut
down as soon as his supply of wood
has been consumed, which will be
within a very short time.
^The fuel problem has long been
a serious one on Fairbanks creek,
and this winter the cost of wood is
higher than ever, with very little
available.
There is a difference of opinion
as to the possibility of landing coal
on Fairbanks creek at a sufficiently
low cost to relieve the fuel situation
there, owing to the long haul from
the railroad. It is contended by
numerous of the oldtimers that elec
tric power, transmitted from a cen
tral plant, will be the only feasible
solution, and it is understood that the
Fairbanks creek dredge company is
considering plans for the erection of
a power plant at Gilmore, where
coal can be dumped directly into bun
kers by the government railroad.
Should such a plant be built, it is
possible that some of the juice will he
r available for use by the quartz men
of the district.
