QUIGLEY ARK
FROM KAN BA
ON BUSINESS If
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Quigley ar
rived in town yesterday with their
dog team, and will probably remain
here for a few days. This is Mr.
Quigley’s fourth, and his wife’s third
trip to an Alaskan town from the
Kantishna district, where they had
settled early in 1905.
The Quigleys left their camp on
the ridge between Friday and Eu
reka creeks on the morning of
February 21, and camped out three
nights enroute, arriving in Nenana
yesterday afternoon.
Joe Quigley is one of the best
known mining men of the Kantishna
region, and aobut the best informed
of any regarding the resources and
possibilities of that highly mineral
ized region. Joe has been in the
North continuously since 1801, and
has followed the mining business in
various parts of the country.
He went into the Kantishna dis
trict early in 1905, being one of the
first men to go into that region,
lie established his camp on 14 above
discovery on Glacier creek, and has
worked on Glacier and Caribou
creeks, both of which are tributaries
of the Bearpaw river.
The bigger possibilities in quartz
mining then presented themselves to
Mr. Quigley and in 1913 he turned
his attention to this branch of min
ing and prospected for quartz in
various parts of the district with
more or less success, doing consider
able work in this connection.
He is now working on the ridge
between Friday and Eureka creeks
and has done a great deal of pre
liminary work toward developing
the valuable quartz claims lying in
this section. He has driven over
700 feet of tunnels besides sinking
several shafts and doing much open
cutting' to trace the leads dis
cover '.
Joe Quigley has an abiding faith
in the future greatness of the Kan
tisha count! y, and is very optimistic
over the mining outlook. His long
residence in the country, despite
adverse conditions and the almost
prohibitive cost of all kinds of sup
plies, due to the extremely poor
transportation facilities, bears elo
quent testimony of hi.5 faith in the
district. With proper means of
transportation, he says, that the vast
resources of the region can be de
veloped very rapidly and that it will
add, in a very large measure, to the
wealth of the Northland.
During his long residence in the
Kantishna, Joe Quigley has traversed
its entire length and breadth, not
only in pursuing the elusive pay
streak in its placer deposits and in
fallowing its likely looking quartz
leads, but in various and sundry
hunting and trapping expeditions.
He is therefore well acquainted with
the entire district and is in a posi
tion to give very valuable informa
tion which will lead to the ultimate
development of that richly mineral
ized district.
It is a well known fact that game
abounds in the Kantishna region
and moose and caribou are seen
more frequently and in greater
number in that region than in any
other part of Alaska. This has
been of great help to the pros
pectors and miners of the district,
who have, almost entirely, depended
on the game tor their meat supply.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Quigley were
greatly struck with the appearance
of the town of Nenana and its
growth. Nenana was not much of
a place as far as looks went when
they happened to be here on a pre
vious occasion.

I A force of men, to be known as
