Fritz Waters and Fred Moeck
own considerable ground and are
working together on their claim.
They cleaned up 56 ounces last
year and are now shoveling in.
PLATINUM CREEK
George Wicker, laymen on Dis
covery Pt. Ck., cleaned up 40
ounces last year. He just arrived
from Aorilic Creek from a pros
pecting trip.
Neil Carrigarv operating on his
own claim, cleaned up 45 ounces
last year. He is very enthusiastic
about this year’s output.

opening up new ground and are

season’s output. The ground is
thawed and runs from, six to 10

Creeks, but as yet very little
prospecting has been done. “Red”
Richardson panned rimrock on
Salmon Creek, June 28 and got
good prospects. Some drilling has
been done on Salmon but it is
much deeper. The average depth
on most of these creeks is about
10 feet. It is all thawed ground
and may t°ko some years to de
termine the extent of the pay
j area.

The country rock is mostly ser
pentine, a dark gre:n. basic rock/
j that weathers brown. Where in

; The mining area is not over 13
I miles and mushing is good.
NO EXAGGERATION
| Be it understood, however, I
j do not want to exaggerate, for
■ the reason that a lot of half-bak
i ed prospectors are always ready
| to start off half-cocked, inade
j equantly outfitted. One must con
i sider its disadvantages, as well
ias advantages, the shortness of
the season, scarcity of fuel, short
age of water for sluicing, and the
high cost of a good outfit. Beach
drift being used as fuel has to
.be sledded 10 miles in places,
packed up hill. All are unanimous
in saying there is a shortage of
water on all claims. Three
months is short to do any ex
1 tensive work.
S39 AN OUNCE
The platinum on these creeks
carry a percentage of gold, in the
proportion of one ounce to 10 of
platinum: also an alloy of os
mium-iridium. in varying quan
tities. The gold is coarse and of
(exceptional high grade, assaying
over $20 an ounce. Last year the
average price obtained for plat
inum was $39 per ounce. Bishop
and Company, Newark, N. J.,
being the largest buyers.

S70 TO $95 OUNCE METAL
This gold is of exceptional
purity and compares with that
mined on Smith and Myrtle Creek
in the Koyukuk. That ran about
$20 per ounce. The osmium-iridi
um varies from $70 to $95 an
ounce depending on the higher
priced metal.
The right limit of Goodnews is
a more favorable looking coun
try than that to the left—nice
rolling hills, similar to Fairbanks,
and a glacier-worn country, not
much favored by prospectors;
yet gold has been found there,
but not in paying quantities.
