The strike made by two men
close to town, behind the saw mill
didn’t turn out to be as big as at
first expected. About $65 in all
was taken out in about 22 hours’ j
actual working time, and then the i
j pay gave out. The pay found seem
! ed to be confined to a small bed- j
j rock exposure close to the edge of'
the river.
On Long creek, Walker & John- j
son working at the lower end of
i the Novikaket group with about ten
| men, expect to take out some1
i money. Scanlon, with about twelve
1 men and a 50-horse power plant,
j seems to have a gocfd show to take
: out considerable money this season.
On Flat creek, in the Poorman ;
district, across the divide from Poor- j
man creek, Morton is working four!
men; Kent Wyman is working four J
men; Dan McLeod is working two;
men; Crigsley is working three men
and Herman Willikey is working one
man, and all of these outfits have
got fair pay and expect to clean '
iup a good sum of money.
ner Emil Johnson, who has been
drafted.
On Poorman creek, Cook & Co.j
; worked ten men most of the summer
and took out about $40,000, which
is a little better than their last year’s
cleanup.
Joe Laughlin, working on the low-!
er end of Poorman, has struck very
good pay. running about $1.75 to •
the foot. He is employing about |
seven men and has about the big
gest thing in the district.
McDonald & Manuel, who have ■
been prospecting all summer, have i
struck good pay and expect to take
out a dump this winter- T hey clean- i
ed up about $10,000 out of the'
dump they took out last winter.

Danny Coyle and partner have
started prospecting on Poorman.
Ed Coyle, O'Donnell and Mc-j
Ginley sank several prospect shafts
on Poorman and found good pay in j
the last shaft sunk this season.1
They expect to take out quite a!
large dump.

Joe Ferries working at the mouth ;
i of a little pup, a tributary to Poor-j
man, sank three holes and found j
good pay in all of them. He ex- j
: pects to be able to work there this j
winter.
On Spruce creek, mining has prac
tically ceased and there is hardly
j anybody in that section of the dis
: trite now. George Jesse, who is
! running a roadhouse and store is
perhaps the only man who may re
; main there during the winter,
j
On Ketchum creek, a tributary
i of the Salatna river, Warren has
\ found fairly good pay, and Harry
: Boland and partner have also found j
fair pay there. They intend taking
j out winter dumps. Frank Car
j penter, who has been doing consid
! erable prospecting with a drill, is
j reported to have struck good pay,
I but what he will do this winter is
j not known. He may take out a
! dump.
Nobody has come into the Ruby
; district this season, while the exodus
j has been steady and those who have
i not already gone Outside, are figur
! ing on getting out this fall. A
'great many houses in the town of
1 Ruby are boarded up, as the owners
(have left. The bank of Ruby, as
well as the newspaper have closed.
The N. C. Co. have bought out John
son & Jepson’s store and stock, and
are about the only people in the dis
trict that are doing any business.
Haarvei’s store is still running, but
j they are not doing a great deal of
l business. The draft appears to have
: hit Ruby hard, and with those vol
unteering, has practically depleted
the ranks of the mining men.
Cut out non-essentials—we are in
a race with a swift antagonist and
need no handicap.

Land office, stationed at Fairbanks.
George is now chief gas officer at
Camp Sheridan, near Mongomery,
Alabama, and he says it is very hot
there, and wishes he could be back

took up a special course at Camp
Humphrey in the use of gas in of
fensive and defensive operations an i
is now instructing the men at Camp
Sheridan in this mode of warfare.
The mail stage got in last night
after a very tough trip on the
trail and brought as passengers Mrs.
A. B. Easterly, who expects to go
to Xenana on the steamer Tanana.
Mrs. Easterly will join her husband
at Xenana. He arrived there re
cently over the Broad Pass trail
from Anchorage with a bunch of
horses for the Alaskan Engineering
commission.

23rd is reported to have arrived
at Gulkana this morning, after ex
periencing a particularly tough trip.
She had five passengers on board.
Two autos with a full load of
mail and some passengers got away
for the codst today. Those leaving
were Jack Desmond, who missed the
last stage, Scotty Lyons, Mrs. Sam
Weiss, Dr. Martin and P. Suter.

At the home of Mrs. Heimburger,
mother of the bride, last night the
marriage of Mr. Joseph Raatz and
Mrs. Ethel Sheldon was solemnized,
the nupital knot being tied by Rev.
Robert Joseph Diven.
Only the bride's parents and a
few intimate friends of the couple
were present.
The groom, who until recently,
was one of the popular chefs of the
Tavern cafe, has a host of friends
in Nenana and the surrounding
country, and is now receiving the
congratulations of his many town
friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Raatz expect to
leave for the coast in the course of
a few days, and may visit the Ken
necott mining district, where, if
times look promising, they may
settle.

The mining situation is somewhat
quiet and there are not many men
in the district at present, but it is
expected that the output of gold
for the season will be almost as
much as that taken out last year.
Jimmy Robertson and partner,
working on the lower end of Sulli
van creek, on deep ground at 210
feet, have struck pay running to
about 50 cents to the foot. They
believe that they are on the edge
of better pay and are preparing to
cross cut. They have come across
quite a large quantity of placer tin.

on Boulder, did not have enough

couldn't do much this season. It
is thought that she would have
had quite a cleanup if water was
I available.
Cecil Clegg and Fred Jorgensen.
| who are working a gang of men on
Woodchopper, are doing fairly well
and expeat to have quite a good
| cleanup. They would have done
! a whole lot better but had to curtail
| operations on account of the short
age of men in the district.

Bob Robinson, of the A E. Com
mission is taking the baths at the
springs and is feeling fine. He
says that the baths are doing him
a world of good. He will return
; to Nenana later on.
1.1S5.000 tons of sugar will be
