NEW STRIKE IN KANTISHNA;
MANY CLAIMS ARE STAKED
There is considerable excitement
in the Kantishna district over the
recent hard rock discoveries, the j
value and extent of which have not j
yet bgen determined. News of the*
find was brought to town by Sam
E. Ivey, well known oldtimer. who
made, the trip out from Robsevelt
with Grant Courtney.
The discovery which started a j
small stampede, was made by Shan- ‘
non, at a point about twelve miles
from Copper Mountain. Ed Jern.
Mace Farrar and a number of
others in that region rushed to the!
scene of the strike and Mr. Ivey
was told tfcat about forty claims hed
been staked. The ore values thus
far found do not warrant any great
excitment, but the discoverers are
hopeful that development will * is-1
close the presence of shipping rock. I
John Anderson is aho reported j
to have found a six-foot ledge ad
joining the Grant & Giles propen ies!
on Copper Mountain, now being
prospected by Jack Price. Samples
assayed show $200 values.
Work on the Grant & Giles pro
perty is still going on. inder the
direction of Jack "'rice :"d. it is •
understood, will continue through ut
the winter, on a small scale.
Hydraulic operations are now in;
progress on Moose creek, where the
SuCherland-Howell. outfit has large j
holdings. Two nozzles were at work |
at the time Ivey left for Xenana. i
but there is a lot of over-burden to
be disposed of before the gold will
begin moving into the boxes. Con
tinued wet weather has caused the
ditches to give some trouble, but!
the work is now proceeding satis- j
factorily in spite of handicaps and
delays.
Foreman H. I. Miller and a num
ber of men are working on the Kan
tishna wagon road between Roose-'
velt and the diggings, but there has
been too much rain for the gang

NOTARY PUBLIC
to make much of a. showing. The
road is practically impassable at a
number of points. Corduroy is be
ing used to raise «he road out of the
swamp, but the work is difficult and
slow, and it will take several sum
mers and a large amount of money
to put the road in shape for sum
mer travel. All of the streams in
the Kantishna district are running
bank full, which renders traveling
both difficult ad dangerous.
As Ivey was comipg out, he met
the second mail of the summer go
ing in. And like others recentlly ar
rived from that section of the In
terior, he says an improvement in
the mail sendee is very greatly need
ed. Complaint among the Kantishna
people is very genera! and loud.
