CIRCLE DISTRICT
HAS GOOD SEASON
Frank Short returned on Saturday’s
train from a summer spent at Mam
moth Creek, in the Circle district,
working on the dredge operated by
Clarence Berry. A good summer was
enjoyed with plenty of water and a
good cleanup. Mr. Short will spend
the winter at Seward, Nuka Bay and
Hope.
Jack Anderson on Mastodon creek
cleaned up $35,000 with eight men.
The Berry interests on Eagle creek
took out over $60,000 with six men.
Walter Crosby, on Miller creek, an
other hydraulic outfit, took out $28,
00 during the season.
George Wood and partner made a
good cleanup on Independence.
The road commission completed
the survey this year on the road from
Fairbanks to Circle, and when com
pleted it will give the coast access
to Yukon river points by auto. By
1928 it is expected the road will be
connected up with the river.
J. Kelly is operating the Miller
roadhouse, postoffice and store. He
has given a lay on his placer ground
to Walter Crosby.
The Berry dredge shut down on
October 24. There was no snow on
the ground at that time but freezing
Weather prevailed. Mr. Short went
to Circle Hot springs for two weeks,
awaiting the arrival of the airplane.
He was compelled to mush out 111
miles, through eight inches of snow.
The party was four days on the road.
The caribou run in the vicinity of
Circle was very poor this year, altho
local residents got plenty of meat for
the winter.
The mail man from Beaderman to
Circle encountered difficulties making
the November trip this year, being
eight days over due. A search party
headed by a deputy marshal went out
in search of him, and when Mr. Short
reached Fairbanks, he heard that the
outfit had arrived safely at Circle.
The Fort Yukon and Circle mail man
was 15 days overdue and had not ar
rived at Circle at the time of Mr.
Short’s departure.
Taken as a whole the season in
the Circle district was one of the best
in ten years, every operator making
money, and good cleanups prevailing.
With available transportation Mr.
Short believes the country will devel
op into a great mining district.
Ed Bartlett, mail man from Chata
nika to Circle, who has a contract for
furnishing wood to the dredges, is
taking a five ton caterpillar into the
district which will be used with sev
eral trailers.
