MINING NEWS
FROM INTERIOR
OF TERRITORY
Reports received of the Koyukuk
country indicate that the gold output
of that camp for the coming season
will be greatly in excess of that of
last summer.
Good prospects and pay have been
discovered in sections of the country
in which considerable prospecting had
been in progress for some time. The
men who had left the camp, as well
as many others, are known to be on
their way back in, and a great revival
of the mining industry in that region
is assured.
Porcupine creek, a tributary of the
Koyukuk river, the mouth of which
is about two miles below Coldfoot, is
going to be one of the biggest pro
ducers of that camp during the com
ing season. Diligent prospecting has
resulted in the finding of good pay,
and several outfits have arranged to
mine on thiB creek during the coming
summer.
Pay also has been found on Jenny
creek, a tributary of the Hammond
river, and on Jim Gulch, a tributary
of the Betties.
O. R. Williams, an old-timer of the
Kuyokuk, has succeeded in organizing
a company with a capitalization of
half a million dollars for working the
rich claims on the lower Hammond
river on a large scale. Considerable
machinery is already on the way in,
and Williams and associates also are
expected to arrive before the break
up. The operations of this concern
will, of course, add considerably to
the gold output of the Koyukuk.
Working on Myrtle creek, a tribu
tary of Slate creek, which in turn is
a tributary of the Koyukuk river, into
which it empties at Coldfoot, Ike
Spink drove a seventy-foot tunnel and
struck what he thinks is the old chan
nel between Myrtle and Slate. Good
pay is reported to have been struck,
and the creek for five miles has been
fully staked.
For the first time in the history of
the Koyukuk camp two boilers and
two hoists are working on Myrtle
and one on Slate creek. The point
at which the Spink tunnel struck the
old channel between Myrtle and Slate
is about six miles from Coldfoot. Only
two holes were put down up to re
cently, and pay was found in both of
them, and indications point to the fact
that that section of the camp will add
considerably to the season’s output.
There is said to be sufficient grub
in the camp for the men who are now
there, as well as for those of the old
timers who are known to be on the
way in.
Owing to the very poor transporta
tion facilities .in the Koyukuk, the
grub question is always a serious one.
The very high freight rates from the
point of shipment to Betties, the head
waters of the Koyukuk, make supplies
far more expensive in the Koyukuk
than in any other Alaskan camp, when
purchased at Betties. The freight
rate on supplies from Betties to the
mining camps higher up the river if
7 cents per pound.
Some activity is being displayed or
Ophir creek, in the Beaver country.
Recently a number of miners have
been moving in on that section in the
hope of getting in on the newly-re
ported pay. Four dog teams froir
Brooks arrived on Ophir creek a shorl
time ago, and a full load of mining
tools was noted on each sled.
Adolph Sherrer, who has a claim or
that creek, is reported as having
struck something good, pans averaging
from 75 cents to $1.50 being taker
out of the streak which he has run
onto. Sherrer found his pay by run
ning his drift in the opposite direc
tion from which he started at the time
he put his shaft down.
Christianson & Co., the Gold Hill
operators, are reported as having a
large dump out ready for the spring
clean-up. The pay dirt which they
have been working has all been taken
out to the dump and as soon as It is
run through the boxes another shaft
will be opened up.
Ed Ness, the Hot Springs mining
man, who has been wintering with his
family in Fairbanks in preference to
taking them to the flu-stricken Out
side, is leaving with his family for the
scene of his operations on American
creek. He is open-cut mining on a
large scale.
Joseph Bellevien, a prominent min
ing man of the Nome district, Is on
his way Outside, driving his own dog
team. Mr. Bellevien is a member of
the Hastings Creek Dredging Com
pany, which is operating dredges or
Hastings and Dry creeks. A new
dredge was built last summer for work
on Dry creek. The hull was com
pleted and the caulkers were putting
on the finishing touches to it when
it accidentally caught fire and was en
tirely destroyed.

GRAND JUNCTION, Col., April 3.—
Slackers of the Grand valley never
will become citizens of the United
States as long as Judge Black holds
sway in the district court. The judge
indicated this plainly when he refused
the application of two men who had
renounced their intention to become
citizens when acceptance meant they
might be called upon to fight. Each
had filed his first . papers prior to
America’s entry into the war.
