KOYUKUK ARRIVAL SAYS
PROVISIONS PLENTIFUL
There is a plentiful supply of
staple provisions in the Koyukuk
district this winter and considerable
work is in progress on the creeks,
according to Ike Spinks, manager
of the store at Betties, who was in
Xenana this week on his way to Che
States on a combined business and
health seeking trip. It is true, he
says, that the steamer Teddy H. was
unable to reach the upper Koyukuk
on the last trip last season and that
the cargo was discharged at Alatna.
But the cargo consisted chiefly of
perishables so that the camp is
really not suffering in consequence
of the non-delivery of the supplies,
as earlier reports received in Nena
na would seem to indicate. It is the
intention of Trader English and as
sociates to move the perishables up
the river over the ice later in the
winter.
Sprink not only declares that
there are plenty of s.aples in the
camp but also quotes prices, which
he points out are not indicatives of
shortages. Pillsbury flour is sell
ing at $14 per hundredweight
Drifted Snow at $12.50, rolled oats
at 1.25 per sack of ten pounds,
cornmeal the same, butter $1.50 per
can, sugar $17 per hundredweight,
rice $16.
There is considerable work in
progress this winter on Nolan creek
Mr. Spinks says. The second bed
rock has been abandoned and pros
pecting is being done now on sev
eral claims on the upper strata
of bedrock, which is found at a
depth of about 60 feet.
Shortly before the trader started
for Xenana Jim Kelly. Jack Dowd
and W. R. Ethesington arrived from
the headwaters of the Betties river
with a poke of dust weighing a
bout $800, and returned to their
discovery almost immediately, with
supplies 'for further work. The strike
created a little excitement * in the
old diggings and considerable stak
ing has been done. Oldtimers put
a lot faith in the find and are
looking forward to further good
reports before spring.
Mr. Spinks left for the coast
on the Tuesday train and will spend
several months in the States.
Miss Catherine McMahon went
to Fairbanks on Tuesday for a brief
holiday visit. She will return to
Xenana tomorrow.

ANOTHER DREDGE PLANNED
FOR WORK ON GANES CREEK
j Another dredge for Ganes creek
1 to arrive next summer, and which
! will be installed and ready for op
eration in the spring of 1924—that
at least is the hope of its projectors
says the Kusko Times published at
McGrath. At the head of the project
is Judge Thomas M. Reed formerly
of Nome, but now judge of the Dis
trict Court of the First Division and
a number of associates, chief among
the latter being G. C. Glass well
' known local mining man, who for
some time has been engaged in ac
quiring the necessary holdings, and
who left yesterday morning over the
trail for the coast en route to the
Outside to attend to matters in
connection with the bringing in of
the dredge.
Options have already been secur
ed on nine claims on Ganes creek
starting at No. 13 and upstream
consisting of associations and single
claims.
The machine to be installed will
be of the flume dredge variety,
with 2 foot buckets, and. according
to Mr. Glass will be assembled and
placed in operation early in the
working season of 1924.

NORTHERN COMMERCIAL CO.
Of Alaska
The fistic which the Elks of Jun
eau proposed staging New Year’s
night between Indian Joe Collier
and Kanaka Joe Manila is off, the
latzer refusing to go against Collier
before some time next spring and
probably not then according to
The Strollers Weekly.
However it is expected that a
Fort Seward soldier by the name of
Butler will go on with Collier, as
the former has signified his will
ingness to meet any man the Elks
may select. Butler is said to be a
fast man and the possessor of a %
good punch. A® number of lesser
lights will appear in preliminarie
at the smoker, which promises to
be a great event.
Ticket No. 49 won the center*
piece which was raffled.
