S. WAGNER FORMED
RESIDENT SEWARD
NOW IN FAI1EW
BELIEVES FAIRVIEW DISTRICT
DESTINED BECOME BIG
DREDGING REGION
By Special Correspondent
FAIRVIEW DISTRICT Aug. 14 (IP)
—Sam Wagner, after many years
absence, has returned to his first
love—Fairview mountain. Wagner
was among the first contingent to
make the long, difficult journey from
Seward to Fairview mountain twenty
years ago, and Wagner gulch, one of
the best sniping gulches in the dis
trict, as named in his honor.
Wagner is a member of the crew
now cutting trail into Fairview, and
when the work is finished will re
main in the district to carry out
plans he has had under considera
tion for many years—explore some
new territory as yet virgin as far as
prospecting is concerned.
Speaking of his experience in the
district, Wagner says that it was
impossible to take out appreciable
pay (by the crude methods of twenty
years ago, but now that the dredge
is taking the place of the shovel and
sluice box, and the region has an
extensive area of gravels suitable
for this method of mining, he be
lieves Fairview is destined to take
its place among the ibig producing
regions of the Territory.
Among the regions to be explored
is that near Mount Kliskon, and ef
forts will also he made to find a
pass leading over the Mount Dahl,
and the granite diorite formation
whence appears to have come the
auriferous gravels of Fairview moun
tain. Efforts to trace the old run or
channel have partially placed it as
coming in from the northwest, and it
is believed that discovery of the
trough in the igneous rocks through
which the glacier traveled will re
sult in discovering rich pay.
All the tbig creeks on which pay
has been developed apparently cross
cut the old channel, which now lies
high up on the slopes of Fairview
and adjacent mountains. This indi
cates that the benches will prove as
prolific as the creeks once they are
prospected. A ten-mile ditch taken
out on Camp creek, -would cross
every big creek on the east side of
Fairview.
The region offers splendid op
portunities for prospectors seeing!
machinery ground — preferrably
dredge—but as yet no operator in
the region would advise men to come
in expecting to make more than
wages shoveling in. Further explor
ation such as .Sam Wagner proposes,
may reveal something sufficiently
rich to enable a man to make money
shoveling in.
With needed transportation facil
ities now nearing completion and
bases already established in the dis
trict it will not be difficult for pros
pectors to reach Fairview and get in
supplies as it was in the earlier pio
neer stages.
