LAYMON SAYS KANTISHNA
WILL BE NEXT BIG CAMP
“The next big mining- camp of Al-!
aska will be in the Kantishna dis
trict,” is the prediction of W. S.
Layman, well known oldtimer of the
Interior, who was in Juneau recent
ly on his way South, after a stay
of three months on the Alaska Pe
ninsula, where he looked over the
oil region and staked a few claims.
“Mines capable of developing a
big tonnage for the railroad,” Lav
mon told a representative of the
Juneau Empire, “will be developed
in the Kantishna country in the not
distant future.” He described the
Quigley property, near Eureka, as
being rich, declaring that “Quigley
is sitting on a million dollars”.
The discovery of galena deposits
carrying gold and copper values in
the Copper Mountain region last
summer, he said, is important. From
all indications there is an enormous
body of ore there, but real develop
ment of mines, he explained, wiil
be compelled to await the coming
of roads, it being impossible to do
more than prospect under present
conditions. Laymon informed the
coast newspaperman that he had an
interest in seven claims in the Cop
per Mountain zone and that he in
tended to return to the Kantishna
in the spring.
On his trip to the Alaska Penin
sula, he was accompanied by A. H.
McXeer, another oldtimer of the
Interior, who is now located at Sew
ard. The journey was made under
difficulties, lack of snow making jt
impossible to use dog teams, thus
forcing them to depend on pack
horses and small boats. Claims were
staked in the Wide Bay region by
the party.
Mr. Laymen’s view of the Kan
tishna’s mining future, continues the
Empire, is apparently “ha-ed by
Harry Bi;hro, another oldtimei of
the Interior country. In a letter
just received from him by Surveyor
General Karl Theile, he makes the
assertion that Tom Aitkcu took out
and shipped more ore last winter
than the entire Mayo comp in Yu
kon Territory. The latter camp, he
added, is being boomed and will un
doubtedly make a good one. He is
unable to understand -*hv ore is
not being said about the Kantisbna. j
Buhro is interested with Duncan
Michie and Archie Cameron in j
ground on All Gold Creek, in the1
Dawson district, and Michie has
some silver interests in the White
River watershed. The All Gold
Creek ground is showing up well. ‘
good pay having been struck in
three shafts. All pans taken from
the pay gravel in the three shafts,
Buhro writes, averaged $1 off the;
dump.
MINERS OF TOTATLANIKA
LOCATE PROMISING LEDGE
_.
John Cook, J. Murphy, Pete Swtn-j
son, Alick Johnson and Albert Ber
! r.ard, who have been engaged in 1
prospecting in the Totatianika dis-!
triet for some time past, arc report
ed to have discovered a ledge of!
promising looking ore on Eva Creek, j
a tributary of the Totatlanika river,
and they are now doing cons'derable
development work on it.
The ledge, which is said to be GO
feet wide, was traced from an out
cropping on the creek bank, and a
| shaft was sunk on it to a depth of
of 30 feet, at which depth the creek
level was reached. At this level a
j tunnel was driven into the ledge for
a distance of about 100 feet, and
• samples of the ore taken and assay
ed at Fairbanks showed it to con
i tain values in gold and bismuth
running from $2.50 to $165.00 a
• ton. Some of the ore contains free
j gold to an undetermined extent.
j The discoverers are working a
! 30-foot churn drill and expect to
sink to a lower level, below the level
: of the creek bed, to determine the
extent to which the water will in
i terfere with operations, and to make
! arrangements accordingly also, for
(the purpose of getting at the richer
. ore body. It is their intention to
: take out a couple carloads of ore
| for shipment to the smelter, as soon
as possible. At the present time
COUNCIL ADOPTS ORDINANCE
PROVIDING FOR TAX LEVY
The Nenana City Council held an
unusually busy session at City Hall
on Tuesday night, the result of the
session being the final adoption of
two ordinances and the introduction
of a third, which will be up for
final reading at the next regular
meeting. Other matters of import
ance to the city were discussed,
several bills were ordered paid and |
the fire committee was instructed
to prepare an ordinance for the j
regulation of the construction of
buildings and for the regulation of i
buildings already constructed, for:
fire protection.
Of the two ordinances passed, one
provides for the levying of taxes ■
on real and personal property, and
it was announced, in this connection, j
that City Clerk and Assessor Bob
Toussaint had already started on the
preparation of the tax roll It is the
hope of the council to have the col
lection of taxes well under way be
fore the first of April.
The other ordinance passed was
one providing for the collection of
a license from peddler5, the license
fee being $25.00.
The dog ordinance, wb ch was
given its first reading at the Tues
day meeting, is patterned after the
Fairbanks law, which is said to be
the only law in the Territory which
has effectually abated the dog nui
, sance. It places responsibility on the
'owners of dogs and other animals,
'subjecting them to a fine for viola
I tion of the law.
There are no funds in the city
treasury at the present time, bu:
arrangements are being made to
take care of such warrants as may
be issued pending the receipt of j
revenues from the collection of tax- i
es. That was the way in which bills:
ordered paid at Tuesday's meeting j
will be handled. The warrants will!
be accepted by the city later, in |
lieu of cash, for the payment of \
taxes.
they are getting out timbers for the :
shaft and tunnel which they expect
to have in readiness for timbering:
by May, by which time also they'
expect to have the returns from the j
smelter, and will know just exactly;
what they have in the way of val-!
ues.
Gus Utberg, local representative
of the Gottstein Company, of An
chorage, came down from Fairbanks
yesterday and spent last night at
McKinley Park, returning to town
from that point today.

Mr. A. B. Phillips,
Dear Sir:
I read your article in the i
Star, about the two boys, there
; done so much damages to ther
grade. I want to state that you
should have published the boys’
names. People in this town will get
j no rest before they find out who
they are; then they will talk about
them and make it little worst. You
should have put them in a grade
where they belong, without makintr
such a record for you selv. 1 real
ize you and Mrs. Phillips are doing
, good work in school but I don't
think you or you wife spend much
overtime study with one off the
boys. He was helped with his study?
at home and made to study. But
you claim all the cridit. I suggest
that you get a child off your owen
and other people lick and advertise
it, then you would know how ::
hurts.
Yours Nobody
<P. S.) Does blackmailing run
in your famly? Please don’t teach
in school.
If the author of the above letter
desires to come to the school house
any time before 5 p. m.. on school
: days, or to my own home any time
| after those hours, I will be very
glad to discuss matters with them.
A. B. PHILLIPS.
