MINING OUTLOOK IS
BRIGHT FOR NENANA
Charles Zielke arrived in Nenana
last night from upper Moose creek,
about six miles east of the Engin
eering camp at 4.1 mile, where he
; has been mining for the past six
j years. He brought in with him a
| poke of gold dust valued at about
j $3,000. This poke was obtained
| from approximately 9.000 square
| feet of placer ground which was
I worked by the open-cut method
| with the help of one man. Trans
1 port difficulties hampered the work
ing of this ground to a very con
siderable extent, and Zielke stated
that if he had been able to get a
j sufficient supply of grub and other
! material hauled in to the scene of
operations he could have given em
ployment to several more men and
have taken out a much larger <,aan- i
tity‘ of gold, at least twice as much ,
as he brought in yesterday, which!
| represents his cleanup for the sum-1
j mer.
To achieve the result shown, con-j
siderable dead work had to be ac-•
complished; an automatic dam had.
to be constructed and about eight
or ten feet of overburden hatl to,
be removed to reach bedrock- Ow-j
ing to the lateness of the season, ]
Z.elke and his helper could not get1
started until the latter part of May !
last. The first work accomplished
was the construction of the .lam
which took up two weeks of tin ir
time, after which ground sluicing
operations commenced. This work
was retarded somewhat by a glacier
w’hich had formed on the ground
to be worked and owing to the late
nss of the season and the cr.ld
weather, much of the ice of ihe
glacier had to be picked away. 3y
the 12th of July, the boxes were set
up, ready for shovelling in. Shovel
ling in commenced shortly after
the boxes were set up and con
tinued until September 20th, when
Zielke had to lay off his aelper, as
the grub gave out and it was im
possible to get more. At the time
his helper had to be laid off he bad
about 1000 square feet more of
exposed bedrock ready to be shovel-!
ed into the boxes, which however,
could not be done without help.
After shutting down on the shovel
ing, Zielke commenced to prepare I
ground for next summer’s workings1
by sluicing out the overburden. He
figures that the government rail
road will be finished up to 43-mile
at least and that then he will «be
enabled to procure supplies readily
as needed during this wilier and
next summer.
; Zielke continued the work of pre
paring the ground for next season’s!
work until a few days ago and came j
in to town to arrange for much
needed supplies, which he proposes!
to freight to his ground just as soon
as the steel reaches Moose creek,
near its mouth and freight can be
hauled thus far. He will leave forj
Fairbanks tomorrow for the purpose!
of selling the gold dust to one j
of the banks there. This trip would
not have been necessary if there
was a bank in Nenana.
On his return from Fairbanks,
Zielke plans on sending up at least
3000 feet of lumber to his ground
as soon as possible for a flume and
sluiceboxes. He expects to get the '
lumber here and send it up to the
mouth of Moose creek just as soon
as the steel reaches there, and haul
it up to the diggings on the creek
ice. The necessary grub, etc, he
says, will follow later.
There is much mining and pros
pecting being done on Moose creek,
its various tributaries and the near
by streams, and both placer and
quartz ground of much value has |
been discovered in this region." The j
lack of transportation facilities has;
been a serious drawback to the de- j1
velopment of the gold and other j
mineral resources of this region, i
At the present time there are!'
three outfits working on Moose i ’
creek on good placer mining ground. 1
E. M. Keys, who bought out Ed '
Pogge some time ago a.nd worked '
this claim with his two sons George *
and Ralph, was not able k do so '
this summer, as the boys had joined '
the colors and Mr. Keys himself
was called away to California, ow- '
ing to hia wife’s illness. Writing
from Los Angeles to Ziefke under
recent date, Keys states that he ex
pects to work his ground next sum
mer and employ quite a few men,
and is figuring on being able to
count on the aid of the railroad
up to near the mouth of Moose
creek at least. Lienfelder, working
about a mile below Keys, took out
some pay this season with the aid
of a helper who, unfortunately took
ill early in the season. As Lien
felder could not get another man,
he had to do the work alone, and
consequently his cleanup was not
as large as it otherwise might have
been. He also figures largely on
the aid of the government railroad
and expects to work his claim next
season on a larger scale.
Across a low' divide at the head
waters of Eva creek, a tributary
to the Totatlanika river, some very
rich quartz has been discovered,
carrying values in gold, bismuth
and arsenic. Ed Quinn, who madej
the discovery of this rich quartz
ore, had been working in this region
steadily for the past eighteen months
with the help of two men. Mr.
Quinn, who had built his hopes on
the extention of the railroad, which
would have made it possible for him
to ship the ore to a smelter, went
to the expense of brushing out a i
road from his ground to the rail
road near 43-mile, a distance of
approximately 12 miles. He also
did considerable excavating work to j
put this road through, and although
the road has not been completed
quite, it is suitable for double-ender
traffic during the winter season. So
confident was Mr. Quinn that he
would be enabled to ship the ore *
on the government railroad to Xe
nana for final shipment to the
smelter, that he invested in a very
large quantity of ore sacks and took !
out considerable ore in readiness
for a shipment, which he expected;
to be able to make by one of the
last boats this season. The aband
onment of the old line has upset his
plans a little, and he left for the
States during the fore part of last
September on a business visit. He
has cached a large quantity of grub
and the sacks and expects to re
turn over the ice early in the spring
and will make a shipment as soon
as railroad facilities will permit it.
Messrs Cook & Murphy, on the
claims adjoining Quinn’s, farther
upstream, are working in wet ground !
necessitating pumps and other ma
chinery. They have very rich
quartz, carrying high values in gold
and arsenic, but will not be able
to do nything with their ground ■
until they can get the necessary ,
machinery there. Johnson & Pear
son, just below Cook & Murphy, i
are about in the same fix.
Mr. Quinn sent forty samples of
lis ore to a big smelter in Colorado'
’or assay purposes some time ago i
and received notification to the' (
sffect that the samples averaged
5200 per ton in gold alone. !
On Moose creek, at its head- '
vaters and just across the low di-;
.’ide from Quinn’s property, Zielke J
las located some free milling quartz, i'
)ut an assay of the quartz has not, 1
ret been made to determine the
values carried.
All of the above claims are said
:o be above timberline and great
lifficulty is experienced by the
miners and prospectors in this region ;
n getting the necessary wood for'
’uel and other purposes. There are !
laid to be traces of coal veins in1
:he country adjacent to the work-;
ngs of these men, but they figure
;hat it would be much cheaper to:
>uy the coal than to mine it. This j
s another important item for sup
ilies of which they are counting.
>n railroad facilities.
Frederick D. Browne, engineer in
•harge of this division, said that
ivery encouragement will be ex-1
ended the miners and prospectors
n the country adjacent to the rail-.
oad in the way of railroad facilities
ind freight rates and the develop
nent of the country’s resources
telped in every possible way.
He had heard of mining activity
n the Moose treek country, and
