Drill Holes Showing Pay
The drill holes which have been put
down on Steel creek show that good,
pay exists on that creek. % Mike Ra
kich, who will work a claim on that
creek the coming season, has a small
quantity of gold dust that was taken
from the drill holes put down for start
ing his working shaft. The holes were
put down three feet apart, and from
them was taken about $1.65 in dust.
One of the holes had practically noth
ing in it, so the values may be stated
as coming from three holes.
Jack Sullivan will be associated with
Mr. Rakich in his venture. From all
indications it is believed that a good
output will be had the coming season
from the claim which Rakich and Sul
livan will work, the values as shown
by the pannings from the drill holes
being from $1.75 to $2 a foot. It is
only ninety-five feet to bedrock, and
within a short time a dump will be
out ready for sluicing. All the neces
sary material will be taken out to the
claim shortly.
Pay Discovered in Koyukuk
The mining men of the Koyukuk
are well pleased with the outlook for
the coming year, as pay has been dis
covered in three different localities.
The extent of the values is as yet un
ascertained, as the prospecting had
not reached that stage which would
divulge the extent of the paystreak.
It is believed, however, that the new
discoveries will add materially to the
output of the camp, as the streak lies
on a continuation of some of the for
mer rich producers.
The region has been enjoying an ex
ceptional winter. Hardly any snow
fell and there were but few storms.
Those who had occasion to use the
trail to the Yukon state that in some
places it was almost bare of snow.
Some of the more enterprising of
the residents in the Nolan section
will engage in an agricultural pursuit,
cutting native hay for the market and
for their own use. Hay sold last win
ter at $220 a ton at Betties, which,
when landed in the upper Koyukuk
section, mada it almost impossible
for the average teamster to keep his
stock, owing to the excessive cost.
According to information given by
a late arrival from Smallwood creek,
mining in that section is still going
on. Samson & Co., who landed their
work shaft on good pay a short time
ago, are at present busily preparing
to open up their ground and begin
hoisting and sluicing. Two teams
are hauling wood to the claim.
Dan and Alec McCrea, formerly of
Fish creek, Jack Cool, Billy Girtz and
Jack Toole, inventor of the under
ground scraper, have taken a lay on
ground belonging to Harry Grow .and
Charles Fisher of Fairbanks. It is
reported that an underground scraper
will be operated on this ground the
coming summer.
In the Fairbanks District
On account of the lack of water for
sluicing purposes Val Diebold and his
partners, on 23 Coldstream, are com
pelled to build a new ditch to a side
stream In order to secure enough
“wetness” to run the dirt through the
boxes. They had previously run a
ditch to another stream that was at
one time a reliable source. Owing to
the light fall of snow this stream Is
practically dry.
Sherrard & Co., laymen on St.
Patrick creek, have encountered a
very high reef of bedrock In their
working shaft which will delay them
in reaching the level of the pay chan
nel. The reef was encountered at a
depth of one hundred feet. As the paj
channel is about 140 feet from the sur
face the laymen believe that they will
have 40 feet of hard stuff to gc
through before they will be able tc
hoist out the pay dirt. This will
greatly delay them, as the reef is hare
to handle.
.Tames Haney, on Steel creek, hai
moved his Howell drill, which hai
been working righ t along, about £
mile further down the creek froir
where it located pay recently. A
series of holes will be put down t<
orosr.-cut the valley to ascertain th<
extent of the pay on that creek anc
to see if the paystreak continues
down that far.
Owing to the scarcity of water ot
Happy creek the mining men ther<
have found it necesary to resort t<
other means than the natural flow o
water in order to secure enough o
the required liquid to conduct thei:
operations. Ed Stevenson, who is op
■
erating on that creek, reports that
only about half a sluicehead of water
is running where formerly plenty
could be secured. In addition to aid
ing in securing more water the pump
will return that which has been used.
K. P. Cosgrove and James Morgan
have out a good sized dump as the
result of their winter’s work, but will
be delayed some in their sluicing
operations until the pump is installed
as they, too, are short of water.
Activity on Fortymile.
E. R. Cooper, a mining expert, is on
his way to the Fortyml)e river where
he will work a long stretch of placer
property in the interest of the Forty
mile Power & Dredging Company, a
concern which was organized this
winter in New York. It is capitalized
at $5,000,000, and has taken over what
was known as the Great Northern
Mines Syndicate, which held the ex
tensive placer properties on the Forty
mile which were familiarly known in
1 Dawson and throughout the Yukon as
the Davison properties.
The holdings of the Fortymile
Power & Dredging Company extend
from the delta of the Fortymile river
upstream to “the Kink”, on the north
fork, and include 460 placer claims
along the river and thousands of acres
of bench claims.
The company’s properties extend
over a stretch of ninety-six miles
along the Fortymile, covering twenty
1 three miles on the Canadian side of
the international boundary, and the
remainder on the American.

ANOTHER AUTO STAGE
LINE TO OPERATE ON
GOVERNMENT TRAU
The Burgess-Karlens auto lint
which has been operating betweei
Fairbanks and Nenana, will enter th
transportation field on the goverr
ment trail, and cars of this line ar
now on their way between Fairbank
and Chitina, making arrangements t
go on this run regularly.
Cars will be stationed at both end
of the trail, assuring a continuous lin
of transportation. Burgess will be sti
tloned at Chitina and Karstens wl
hold down the Fairbanks end. It i
more than likely that the Rapids roa<
house will be the point of transfei
The roads are fast becoming dried on
and should be in perfect condition b
the first of the month, at which tim
the regular service will be inaugi
rated. The leaving dates will be ai
nounced later. It is the intention <
this line to start off with a fare <
$100, Fairbanks to Chitina, or vie
versa. They anticipate no trouble i
crossing the rivers along the trail, e
by that time travel conditions will t
such that the ferries will be able t
cross the rivers without a hitch.
The Burgess-Karstens line has bee
in the transportation field for the pai
few years and has achieved a nam
for reliability that is one of the bei
mediums of advertising. Wherev<
this line has operated it has gaine
the good will of the traveling publ
by its dependability.
