Uate arrivals from the Tolovana
country tell of the development work
which is now being done on all of the
creeks in that vicinity. Prospecting is ;
the order of the hour, notv that every
body is prepared for winter, and it
is expected that the next month will
considerably change the map of that
section of the country so far as a
pavstreak is concerned.
Except on Esther creek, a tributary
of the Tolovana river, no new strikes
are reported. However, it is stated
that the prospectors working on Es- |
ther have discovered ground which is j
estimated at $2 to the square foot of j
bedrock, although no details of the I
strike are available. Esther creek
comes in on the right limit of the
Tolovana, being the next creek above
Olive and running parallel with the
latter stream.
Including all of the places where
pay dirt is known to exist, it is
estimated that there are now fully
four 'miles of pay in the new district.
Most of it is on Livengood creex, rrom
discovery to No. 7 above inclusive, al
though there is a spot about one mile
between discovery and No. 5 above on
which pay has not been located.
McIntosh brothers are working on
discovery. They are still prospecting
their ground, but it is known that
they are in good pay. Patterson and
Findlay come next in line. They are
blocking out their ground on No. 5
above, and may take out a dump.
Gus Peterson's outfit on Franklyn
gulch comes next, and it is known
that It is located on the paystreak, as
considerable ground was taken out
last fall. Emil Johnson is In the pay
on the Duncan bench.
Kolbert & Kelly have a lease 1,200
feet long. They have sunk two holes
600 feet apart, and are therefore firm
ly convinced that they have pay on
the full length of their lease
Peterson & Thompson, on the Snnny
bench, opposite No. 9 above, are stilt
prospecting. However, they are known
to be In good pay. Max Altman and
Jack Allman, next above them, have
sunk three holes and are now sinking
their fourth. Their present shaft is
directly in line with the pay shaft
of the outfit below them, so they ex
pect to locate the pay when they find
bedrock
Ernest Peterson and Charley An
derson are on the Marietta associa
tion. They are sinking a shaft direct
ly in line with the pay which has al
ready been located in their neighbor
hood. Otto Kroele has a lease on the
Flat association, owned by Harry Pat
terson and others. He is just start
ing operations there.
Jim Warren & Co. are working a
lay on the Mint association. They
have good prospects, and it is thought
that they will locate good pay shortly,
as they are directly in line with the
way the pay seems to be running.
On the lower end of the Italy asso
ciation Eglnr & Koebsch have recent
ly struck good pay. Allenwell and
Batten, who have been operating just
above them, and who took out some
money last summer further down the
hill, are preparing to sink in a direct
line with the find below them. Ket
tleson & Curry are working just above
the last named outfit, and are in the
pay. although they are still prospect
ing. Just above and just below dis
covery prospecting has been stimu
lated by the find of McIntosh broth
ers. Considerable prospecting is also
being done on intermediate claims
•
and on the upper end of the creek.
However, a row of holes sunk across
Llvengood a short distance above the
Kettleson & Curry workings has re
vealed no pay.

UNITED STATES?
FIRST AMONG jl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 — How the
United States through the accident of ^
a world war has moved from Its place
as a commercially provincial and sec
ondary pow'cr to the rank of first Im
portance among the great nations of
the world—economically, Industrially |
and financially — is told in detail in
the first annual report of Dr. Edward :
Pratt, chief of the foreign and domes
tic commerce bureau of the depart
ment of commerce.
What the country has gained tem
porarily throug the fortunes of the
European conflict, says the report, it
can hope to hold in the commercial
struggle that will be resumed at the
conclusion of peace only by the most
far-sighted commercial preparedness. j
Two grave problems face develop
ment and maintenance of foreign
trade. The first is declared to be
that of finance and the second that;
of training men for the work.
trade,” It says, "and In fact by far
the larger part of the financing of
the world's trade, has hitherto been
done through London. During the
last hundred years London has been
the world's financial market. She
has held her position not because of
prestige merely, but because the na
tions of the world needed an inter
national clearing house and London
supplied that. At the same time Lon
don became the clearing house chief
ly because she supplied a large part j
of the capital needed for ptibli* im- <
provement and large private enter- -
prises.
"The United States never has taken
any large part in financing foreign
trade because of the comparatively
'mall part of that business carried
on here, and because also of the un
familiarity of many of our bankers
with the methods of international
finance. Nor has the United States
taken any large part in supplying
capital to other countries. On account
of more profitable investments at ;
home we have chosen to invest here
rather than abroad. This also has
been true because of our position as
a debtor nation, but probably also to|
a considerable degree because of a
‘mental debtor nation attitude’ on the
part of our financiers. j
"On account of the war this situa
tion is rapidly changing. The volume
of foreign business done through New
York is continuously Increasing, and -
New York banks are rapidly provid
ing facilities for Americans who wish
to export. Dollar Exchange, a thing;:::
practically unheard of prior to this :•:
year, is assuming constantly enlarg
ing importance in the financial -world •:■
and is rapidly becoming popular as a •:■
means of meeting international obll- £
Rations."
Two provisions in the Federal Re- :•:
erve Act, the report says, have been
f material assistance to the foreign
rade. One la the Introduction of the
Be of acceptance and the other per
ilsslon granted to national banks to
stablish foreign branches.
