MINING ACTIVITIES IN FAIR
BANKS DISTRICT
H. Cameron Has First Clean-up of
Season—$10,000 in Gold Dust
Mining activity in the Fairbanks
district is commencing and active
steps are being taken by the local op
erators to enliven the golden spirit of
the creeks.
Ten thousand dolars in gold dust
was brought in on June 11 as the first
clean-up of the season by H. Cameron,
mining on Dome Creek, according to
the special correspondent of the Alas
ka Miners News. Mr. Cameron was ex
tremely pleased with his clean-up and
states that considerably more dust
will be brought in during the summer
from his workings. This is the biggest
clean-up so far reported from the Fair
banks district this season, and is in_
dicative of the activity to be noted in
this district the coming season.
The Fairbanks Gold Dredging Com
pany is laying in huge quantities of
supplies and is transporting machin
ery to the dredging grounds prepara
tory to an active season’s operation.
The Gilmore road is in fairly good
condition and is now ready for heavy
traffic.
- The Fairbanks Dredging Company
has two dredges and will employ ap
proximately 35 men during the mining
season. The Mt. McKinley Gold Min
ing Company will operate this season
and is now busy in transporting goods
and supplies to the dredging grounds.
Gilbert B. Stevens and associates
will commence work in the immedi
ate future on their 2S claims located j
in the BonniJeld district and are now
sending in their supplies for the sea
son’s work.
A five stamp mill will be operated
on Fairbanks Creek by Krytes and
Feldeman during the season and a mill
run will be made shortly. At the pres
ent time six men are being employed
in development work. Mr. Feldeman,
who has recently completed a course
*n assaying, is now prepared to look
farther into the interests of the firm
in the matter of assays.
The Rainbow Mining Company, un
der the supervision of Roy Maddox, is
deveoping its property on Scruggin
Gulch and expects to have a dump
that will afford a three months run
next season.
The St. Paul Mining and Milling Co.
are preparing to take out a large quan
tity of ore from the company’s hold
ings at the head of Eve creek and
have a ten ton Chillings mill ready for
operation, and will not only do the
company’s milling but will take as
much custom work as the capacity of
the mill will permit. The Smith Bros,
on the same creek are doing ex
tensive development work and will
shortly have sufficient ore for a mill
run.
Henderson and McLaughlin have
bought out the interest of Tindel and
Linn, and have several hundred tons
of good ore in sight and are breaking
ground for the foundation of a new
20 ton Chilean mill which will be in
stalled during the coming summer. A
run will be made before the cool wea_
ther sets in.
The old Tindell and Linn interests
are located at the head of Happy
Creek.
Qurke and Leain located on lower
Dome are working a crew of 8 men
and are very hopeful of satisfactory
results from the season’s work. They
are now down 130 and in fair pay.
A Pathe moving picture was taken
of the Congressional Party while
viewing a $3,700 clean-up on the Joe
McDonald claim. Several good clean
ups have been made on this property
this season.
CACHE CREEK NEWS
Seventy miners are being employed
in the Cache Creek district, located
about 40 miles west of the town of
Talkeetna situated on the Government
Railroad, 114 miles north of Anchor,
age, according to word received from
the Special Correspondent of the
Alaska Miners News.
Work is being carried on in the dis
trict in most satisfactory manner and
it is expected that the gold output
from the entire district for the 1923
season will approximate $230,000.00.
The Alaskan Road Commission is
energetically pushing the work of
road building between Talkeetna and
Cache Creek and at the end of the
season it is expected that the road
will be completed as far as Peters
Creek, distanced from Talkeetna some
20 miles. The work of road building
i is under the supervision of Carl John
: son, well known throughout the inte
rior and a force of 25 men is being
used in the work.
The ferry across (he Susitua River,
being operated by Frank Lee, is af
fording good service to the persons
traveling between the Creek and Tal
keetna.
The following operators arc at
work on Cache Creek and its feeders:
J. Rice, Willow Creek; Frank Jen
kins, Willow Creek; Monroe Cast and
Charles Mack, Poorman Creek; E.
Carlson, lower Peters Creek; A. Wolf,
Thunder Creek; Oscar Hillman, Dol
lar Creek; F. Ervin and son, Upper
Falls Creek; J. Anderson, lower Falls
Creek; James Murray, Nugget Creek;
O’Rourke and Perkins, upper Cache
Creek; C. Hammerschwidt, Bird
Creek; H. Schell, Peters Creek; the
Cache Creek Dredging Company,
Cache Creek, H. Price, Short Creek.
Two pack trains are being operated
between Talkeetna and the Cache
Creek country this season and are in
the hands of Edward Lee, who for a ■
number of yeai’s has engaged in this ;
business in this section of the coun-1
try, and Roy Fox, who has exclusive
charge of the clean-ups of the Cache
Creek Dredging Company, the biggest
operator in the district.
The first of June saw enough water
to enable the operators to begin the
season’s work and with the number of
men in the district and the weather
being favorable it appears that the
output this season will be larger than
any season in the past.
