WILL OPERATE
BIG DREDGE
KUSKOKW1
Advices received from the Kus
kokwim country indicate that Tom
Aitken’s dredge, which had been
* working on one of the tributaries of
the Kuskokwim river and which was
shut down for a portion of the • time
last summer, will be ready to operate
again this season.
The shut down was caused by the
breaking of a part of the machinery,
necessitating the procuring of a new
part to replace the broken one. This
piece of machinery, which weighed
over 1000 pounds, was sent to Sew
ard from the States and taken to An
chorage on the train. From Anchorage
to the location of the dredge is was
hauled on a sled that had been special
ly constructed for the purpose.
> In spite of the difficulties of the
t trail, the big piece of machinery was
t landed at the dredging ground in good
1 shape. It is said to have arrived in
) the nick of time, as the trail went to
pieces two days after the sled ar
rived.
Goldstream Is Active. >
There is much activity on Gold
stream, near Fairbanks. On 18 Gus
Peterson is running a tunnel and
opening up for operating on a large
scale the coming summer. Other op
erations of a mining nature are also
in evidence on this claim. A force of
men are engaged in building the flume
that will bring the water to the claim
for sluicing purposes.
Diebold & Co., on 23 Goldstream,
have installed the pump which/Will be
used to bring water for sluicing pur
poses to that claim, the dump of which
is being run through the boxes.
Tungsten Mine Closed
The tungsten mine which has .been
operated for some time by Mike Stepo
vich on the Yellow Pup creek, near
Fairbanks, has been closed down tem
porarily, the operator announcing tha
owing to the low price of the meta
it was not advisable to continue min
ing the ore.
The tungsten market on the outsidi
has fallen rapidly and the presen
market price does not exceed $7.5i
a unit. During the war the unit val
uation was as high as $65. Severa
hundred tons of the ore was shippei
from the mines of the interior am
handsome returns realized by thi
shippers. Since the decline of thi
market but few of the propertiei
have been worked.
Sluicing at Tolovana
From a late arrival from Brooks 1
is learned that sluicing has com
menced in the Tolovana, a genera
cleaning-up taking place among th<
miners who have out winter dumps
Some of the large dumps are beinf
run through the boxes with watei
furnished by gravity and this methoi
will be followed as long as a sluice
head of water can be had. When th<
water runs shy pumping will be re
sorted to.
Among the recent discoveries re
ported it is stated that Clarence Dor
flinger and Oscar Anderson have un
covered good pay and will soon pu
on a large force of men to take ou
the dirt. As soon as the hoist is work
ing sluicing operations will be com
menced.
High Reef Penetrated
St. Pap'ick creek in the Tanam
valley, reports that Sherrard & Com
pany will be sluicing in a short time
This mining firm has penetrated thi
high reef they recently encounters
at a depth of 100 feet and have landec
on the pay in the old channel.
In the near future a good-sized crev
of men will be put to work taking ou
the pay dirt, a few minor preparation!
being the only delay. It is expectet
that the output from St. Patrick creel
will be materially increased this yeai
owing to the many new plants whicl
will work, being the result of the dril
prospecting which has been going oi
in that section for some time past.

HOOTCH PLANT
UNEARTHED BY
i OLD SLEUTH
1 ___
i
, Through the efforts of Special
, Agent John Moe another “hootch” still
, is in possession of the federal authori
ties at Fairbanks and the owner
thereof in the federal jail there await
ing the pleasure of the officials.
Wednesday evening Alphonse Bou
. lay arrived in Fairbanks and about
I midnight was picked up on a warrant
, sworn out by Agent Moe, charging
him with violating the dry law. On
. being searched there was found in
. Boulay’s possession a little less than
a quart of “moonshine” brew that
was powerful in alcoholic content.
, Having his man safe under lock and
key Agent Moe and Deputy J. C. Wood
took an outo ride to the locality where
the plant of the offender waq.believed
to be. At the cabin was found a
quantity of alcohol and some coloring
matter. Leaving the cabin the of
’ fleers went obout a mile and a quarter
up Moose creek and there discovered
the still. According to the officers
it is a masterpiece for the production
of "hootch.” Made of the best copper
throughout it represents a consider
able outlay of money and much in
genuity in its construction. The still,
worm, alcohol and other needed evi
dence was collected and brought to
1 Fairbanks and placed in the care of the
marshal’s office, to be produced when
needed.
This is the third still that Agent
Moe has uncovered, two being in the
Ruby section, and one of the offenders
is now behind the bars doing time.
The owner of the remaining still could
‘ not be found but the “hootch” factory
was destroyed beyond all use. The
| agent, during the summer, will con
' duct a vigorous campaign to destroy
1 every still in the Fourth division, and
there are said to be many of them.
notTce
The dog ordinance is to be strictly
enforced and owners of canines must
take care of them or the city will do
it for them, as there is to be a general
cleanup of all dogs running at large.
