LETTER TO FAIRBANKS MAR
SHALS OFFICE TELLS OF MIN
ING AND FUR FARMING IN THE
McGRATH DISTRICT
Miners in the McGrath section
have been held back considerably this
spring for lack of water, and on the
Ophir side are not only short of wat
er but are unable to get their supplies
up owing to the low stage of water
in the Takotna river, according to a
letter received at Fairbanks from
Peter McMullen, deputy at McGrath.
Larson, the freighter who handles all
the freight between Takotna and Mc
Grath, tried to get up with some
perishables after the first boat arrived
but got within 20 miles of Takotna
and had to transfer to poling boats
and is nowT tied up at McGrath wait
ing for it to rain. The dredge on
Candle creek has laid off the night
shift. Owing to the lack of water
one shift can keep up with the ground
sluicing.
A mining deal of some importance
to the camp was concluded recently
at McGrath when Charles Pearson and
John Strand gave an option on their
1 quartz property up the Nixon to
Charles and Dolph Mespelt, Leo Rodri
que and Waino Puntila. This is the
property the Treadwell people took an
option on the spring of 1920 for a half
million dollars. They put a ten stamp
mill on the ground, and after operat
; ing for several seasons gave it up.
| Since that time, however, Pearson and
Strand have opened up some very rich
ore. Just how extensive it is remains
to be seen. Mespelt and his associ
ates have secured from the Treadwell
[ people a lease and option on the mill.
A number of fur farms have been
started in the McGrath district, Mr.
McMullen reports. Greg Stewart and
son are going into the business on a
large scale. They are busy not\ put
ting up building pens. Arthur Berry
has at present twelve pair of marten,
and though he has also captured a
number of beaver, he has not had
good luck with them. Dan McRae is
starting the business with six marten.
In the Lake Minchumina district Jes
se ’ Yoder and Louis Blackburn are
starting fur farms.
Frank Joaquin and his associates
have started up the old I. D. Co.
dredge on Gaines creek and are re
ported to be doing very well. This is
the dredge that was hauled all over
Alaska and finally landed on Gaines
creek. The Flume Dredge company
shipped in on the first boat two large
diesel engines for their dredges on
Yankee and Little.
The first boat from Bethel arrived
on the 23rd of June, five days earlier
than the former record. The camp is
well supplied with meat since Dave
Mutchler arrived from Bethel with his
cold storage barge well loaded.
