TWENTY YEARS AGO J
Paul J. Rickert, who has returned
to Tacoma from Fairbanks, says that
the gold output of the Tanana district
for the season will be fully |12,000r
000. Speaking of operations In the
Tanana country, Mr. Rickert says
that there are about 100 steam boil
ers at work on the creeks representing
an aggregate of about two thousand
, horsepower, compared with about
, eighteen horse-pbwer last year. Most
of the machinery is on Cleary creek,
i some 30 miles from Fairbanks, with
i some on Fairbanks creek, which is
\ nearer the town.

Mr. Robt. Michaelson who has min
ed on Canyon and Mills creek in the
, Sunrise district since 1895, com
; menced sluicing Wednesday, March
22nd, and the first day made a small
clean-up. This is the earliest by more
, than a month that any sluicing has
1 been done on these creeks. The win
ter has been extremely mild and the
■ miners all expect a long session this
year. Mr. Michaelson owns a portion
of what was formerly known as the
t famous “Polly Mine,” and although
* over $200,000 has been taken from
1 this property there is still a large
■ amount of ground to work. Last year
* hydraulic pipe was put on the ground.
t Heretofore the work has all been
done with pick and shovel.

Boston, and N. P. White, of Sunrise
are the principal owners. High
grade copper ore is found in abundance
on the claims and development work
is now being done and it is expected
the main ledge will be found this sum

The distribution of poison by min
ers of the Tanana is said to have
caused the death of a large number
of fur bearing animals. The poisoned
animals wander away and die alone
in the wilderness and only the satis
faction the miners reap is the knowl
edge that they are dead.
