STUYAHOK CAMP
NOWDESERTED
SAYS ADAMS
John Adams, of Fairbanks, who has
been to the scene of the reported gold
strike on the Stuyahok and its tribu
taries, to investigate the find re
cently arrived in Nenana. He stayed
in that camp two and one-half days,
at the end of which time he was
thoughtfully satisfied that the strike
had been greatly overrated.
Mr. Adams is a well known mining
man of the Tanana valley, where he
has been since 1904. He has mined
on various creks in the Fairbanks min
ing district, and for the past few
years has mined on Goldstream.
Shortly after the news of the strike
had been received in .Fairbanks, Mr.
Adams decided to investigate it, and
he headed for the scene of the strike.
He found, shortly after his arrival
there, that with the exception of some
pay, to what extent he does not defin
itely know, had been found on Krug
er’s claim, on a bench claim on Flat
creek a tributary of the Stuyahok, no
pay had been struck anywhere else in
that region.
The prospectors who had been at
tracted to the region by the various
reports of the strike which were in
circulation, had punched the country
full of holes, but failed to find any
thing to warrant staying there; and
when Adams left there on April 2, the
country had been practically deserted,
only a few prospectors remaining.
Soft bedrock, Mr. Adams said, was
reached through thawed ground at a
depth of from 8 to 10 feet; there was
no trace of gravel. Three drills op
erated by hand were used. Two of
these are still on the ground, but are
not in use any more. The other drill
is being taken across country to Wil
low creek, in the Marshall district, by
a party of 15 men, who will prospect
en route.
He thinks that there may be a pay
streak in the Stuyahok country, but
is positive it has to be found yet.
Just arrived, a fresh stock of Hot
Shot Batteries at the Northwestern
Hardware Co. 14-tf
