SPRING IS SAID
McDOUGAL & HATCHER CLAIMS
AT QUARTZ BAY CAMP IS
CONSIDERED WINNER.
Fine peacock ore, usually good-look
ing is found on the McDougal-Hatcher
claims at Nuka Bay, which were dis
covered and located last year. Bob
Hatcher is remaining on the ground
for some weeks yet after which he
plans going to Willow Creek and
look after some of his quartz prop
erties. He believes the Nuka Bay re
gion appears very favorable and is
confident some splendid veins oljgpre
will be opened up in time.
On one of these claims a 10-foot
vein is split by a wall of gray whack.
An average assay on this brought $8.
Tunnel work has started on this
lead which has been stripped back
for a distance of 900 feet, according
to the surface outcroppings. On the
trail to this beach property, about
a ten-minute "walk from the cabin
site, two smaller veins have been un
covered. One has a two-foot face
and the other about six inches. Lit
tle values show on these veins on
which no attempt has been made to
date to work.
Construct a Good Trail.
A fine trail with an easy grade
has been made from the cabin to the
tunnel, just off the beach, which is
reached by a ladder running down
from above where the trail comes to
an end. Two men were employed
some months ago by the partners to
put this trail in and to assist Mr.
Hatcher in putting up the cabin,
which is large and quite comforta
ble. Shakes are being made at this
time with the idea of building a
blacksmith shop, either this fall or
next spring, when tunnel work to
the ore shoot proper, will begin.
It is claimed by residents of Nuka
Bay that the fishing bank which lays
directly in front of this property, is
the best in the entire region. Black
bass, tom cod and salmon are caught
in abundance and when the tide rolls
out butter clams can be dug up with
little effort. A fine stand of timber
extends thruout this part of the
bay. Like the Clam group of claims,
a short distance down the bay, a pet
mink makes this place his headquar
ters. Mr. Hatcher and the mink
have become very friendly, in fact
the animal now pays scant attention
to strangers.
Coal Mine Official Back

bridge of two spans was erected over
the river at a point near Healy sta
tion on the Alaska Railroad. Mr. i

Among the passengers on the big
freighter Oduna, which arrived in
Seward from Nome Friday, were

been teaching school at Barrow, the
most northerly point in Alaska. They
continue on to Seattle on the vessel.
Mrs. Ed. Carlson, wife of the pro
prietor of the Inlet hotel at Anch
orage, who arrived in Seward last
night from Seattle, leaves town in
the morning for the Inlet.
Mrs. B. Salcha, resident of Anch
orage, who has been Outside visit
ing .returned last night on the Alas
