FI VEIN COAL1
MCCARTHY, Jan. 2. — Wm. I-ong
iey has accepted a contract to handle
the freight of the Dan Creek Company
the coming spring, which may begin
to move iate in January.
Joe Kaufman is in from the Ni
zina country, and reports finding a
vein of the finest coal and of some
width, and claims that any amount
may be mined with very little effort.
McCarthy needs coal and the winter h
trail to Nizina is fine, why not burn u
coal at, say *10 a ton?
In a shipment of Kennecott Tjose
vig ore to the smelter for a test, it a
was found that this ore ran over 42 ll
per cent copper and *18 per ton in 1
silver. This is a wonderful showing
for a mine undeveloped as this is. n
Much is yet to be expected from this P
mine in its future development. *

NEW STRIKE ON
TOLSTOI
Ira van Orsdale, one of the original
discoverers of the Tolstoi camp,
brings word of a recent discovery on
one of the i reeks In that district which
is enough t" cause anyone acquainted
with Ala k ' mining to believe that
1 the chances are good for one more
great placer camp In the territory
when all hope of such a possibility
bad about fled.
Mr. van Orsdale arrived over the
trail recently. He was in the Tolstoi
district a month ago and at that time
| got his information direct about the
new discovery. The pay was found or.
J Madison < reek, which is about seven
j or eight miles from Boob creek, and
j the remarkable fact about the discov
fry Is that the pay was found In the
second tier benches and is located In
; a manner that shows the possibility
| that it is of great extent. On election
l,a5 Mr. van Orsdale was on the spot
and Wilson, the discovered, panned
some of the dirt for him, and by a
i bttie panning showed three dollars.
Iloob creek is the original creek of
the district, where Mr. van Orsdale
| and the others made the discovery. It
' lias five claims and a fraction now on
which pay has been developed. The
difiiculty of prospecting the country
, is illustrated by the name of the
creek, the discoverers having given It
1 that name apparently because no one
but a boob ever thought it could con
tain pay at all. The ereeks in there run
through low mud divides that are al
most glaciers and run through flats
j These flats will show any oldtimer
that the discovory of pay on the sec
ond tier benches promises extraordin
ary developments. Van Orsdale also
i says the numerous creeks in the dis
trict have prospects that could iJe
made to pay if any means of transpor
tation were available. One of the
; paying creeks in there now was cross
I cut some years ago but was aban
dotted. The discovery of pay now is
one more illustration of the old lesson
j taught Alaskan prospectors — the les
son that only a thorough prospector
can he depended on to locate the pay
streak.

FIERI) HEADQUARTERS, Ameri

traordinary improvement In marks
manship is being noted In reports re
ceived at field headquarters. The re
gular life of the soldiers has steadied
their nerves and the clear air of the
Mexican plateau region make sighting |
easy. Another factor in the good
showing is the steady drill the men
have received in fire control, new' me
thods of which are being tried by the
cavalry with remarkable success.
Machine gun troops also are being
drilled to use their arms to the best
advantage. Recently several cornpan
I ies of the 16th infantry were brought
north from El Valle and demonstra
tions of fire control were given for the
benefit of the officers stationed here.
The machine gun work was under the
direction of Captain F. S. Bowen, as
