POMEROY LOOKS
FOR STAMPEDE
PLACER CAMP
AFTER SPENDING SEASON IN
FAIRVIW DISTRICT CLAIM
OWNER OPTIMISTIC
To install Hydraulic Outfit
Hundreds of Square Acres In District
Never Had Pick or Shovel
Stuck Into Ground.
E. D. Pomeroy, who arrived in
Seward Thursday from the Fairview
district which lays directly West of
Talkeetna, confidently believes that
with the coming of next spring a
small stampede will lake place to
the district. He bases I is assump
tion on the fact that on one of his
five claims on Mills creek, where the
bedrock is on the average of seven
feet, the ground yields from 70 cents
to $1.30 per foot. And if this is not
a good enough indication for a small
stampede, he would like to knew
what is.
For some years past, Mr. Pomeroy
has been in the employe of the Al
aska Railroad, but last April decided
to go into the Fair trie tv district. He
remained there up to the present
time, his arnval in Seward marking
the completion of his summer’s work
in the region. From this point lie
departs for Seattle on the steamer
Yukon, wrhere he will remain for at
least three months. In the spring
he will take in a hydraulic plant
to his property. (
There is ample water for all pur
poses in the Fairview district, Mr.
Pomeroy stated, also plenty of tim
ber. Supplies and the hydraulic out
fit will be hauled in over the snow
this winter from Talkeetna, a dis
tance of approximately 60 miles. The
Alaska Road Commission surveyed
a trail from the mouth of Clearwater
creek on the Yentna river, across to
the district but little trail work done
this year. However, it is believed
a crew of men will be put to work
on it next spring making it possi
ble to traverse the fifteen miles to
the diggings with ease.
Country Hardly Touahed.
“There is an area of at least 500
miles square in that region which
has never had a pick or shovel
stuck into it,” Mr. Pomeroy stated,
“and those who are already there,
mining in a small wray, though they
have not taken out any large stake as
yet, are constantly adding to their
store of gold dust and nuggets.”
Pomeroy exhibited a “flask” of gold
dust yesterday at the Van Gilder
hotel, w'here he is registered, and a
cursory examination reveals the dust
to be extremely course with numer
ous good size nuggets intermingled.
It is stated that Mat Huger on
Mills creek, who plans coming out to
the coast for Christmas, will bring
wtih him a pretty fair stake, the
result of his summer’s operations.
Jack Lincke, newspaper man, who
has been operating on Cottonwood
has done fairly well and plans com
ing out the latter part of next
month or the first part October. His
son, Lieut. Lincke, U. S. Army, on
furlough, who recently passed thru
Seward en route to the district, has
joined him at the camp and will no
doubt return to Seward with him.
The roadway out the main street
of town to the city limits is in such
bad condition, full of chuck holes
and bumps, that several of the local
automobile men have registered com
plaint.
One thousand feet of special lum
ber was brought to Seward last eve
ning on the deck of the Yukon, from
Cordova. The timber is billed to
the Alaska Hills Mines company at
Nuka Bay and will be used in the
construction of cyanide tanks.
According to local information the
steamship Tupper, which has been
expected to arrive in port for the
last two days, en route to Kusko
kwim river points, instead of taking
the Outside passage, came via the
Inside passage. The vessel is ex
pected momentarily.
Mrs. Park A. Reed, of Fairbanks,
former Seward resident, is a guest of
