Conrad J. Miller, who arrived from
the Chitina yesterday, will return
with a drilling outfit as soon as the
freezeup occurs, for more thorough
prospecting of several claims on
Kyagana creek located by Chas.
Veets and himself. This creek is a
tributary of the Chitina, entering the
latter abolit 80 miles south of
McCarthy. It is about 30 miles long
and Mr. Miller stated that he and his
partner obtained good bar prospects
from its mouth to its head.
“We got as high as 3 cents to a
pan at not more than a foot in depth
and didn’t get skunked anywhere,"
he said. “We put in two drains, one
at the. mouth of the creek and the
other at the head, but could not get
deeper than 11 feet because of water
and did not reach bedrock. The
deepest hole we weje able to sink
was 17 feet and we found gold in
every foot of the gravel.”
Mr. Miller has been in the district
since May, having gone there from
the. Shushanna. Mr. Veets is an old
timer in that section; he has spent
seven years in the interior, but has
not been able to find what is con
sidered good pay as he could not
reach bedrock because of water. Mr.
[ MiIIe.r advises prospectors not to at
tempt to reach this district until
after the freezeup and then to take
supplies for six months and also
pumps to insure reaching bedrock.
Several streams diffcult to ford are
to he crossed, but travel will be. easy,
he says, after ice is solid. He ex
pressed the belief that good pay will
be found and that a big camp will be
the resuTt. The formation is a mica
schist and the bars show large quan
tities of quartz boulders.
Messrs. Miller and Veets also
found good prospects on the l'ana,
another tributary of the Chitina.
Among Cordovans in that section are
Jas. Barclay, better known as
“Jimmy the Bear,” Fred Cope and
Sam Thomas- Iver St. Clair, who
came out two weeks ago to receive
treatment for deafness after spend
ing three months there, verified the
statements of Mr. Miller as to the
“good prospects.” His experience
with water was similar to thal of all
the others. Mr. St. Clair received a
letter yesterday from Jas. Barclay,
written at McCarthy October 27, in
which the statement was made that
6 to 10 cents to the pan cotrrd be
obtained. He. and Millar located
six claims on Charrey creek, a tribu
tary of the south fork of the Kagna.
At the head of the north fork they
found a vein of manganese and
hematite iron, but the ore brought
to the Bonanza mine for a test did
not show any values in goM.
At Sburdough cabin Mr. Miller met
Tom Lane and Mr. Jacobson taking
in a hand drill.

would resign his position, effective
January 1st neat. Many have ex
pected this termination of an
extravagant and “wild” policy.
