In Conference
Washington, Not. 22.—The drift
in sentiment in the arms conference

ticularly manifest in dealing with

NOT Oi VN\ \ il l I
That the reported rich strike ol
rich ore bearing fabulous values ot
gold ami other minertils, ut wfr*
wood, on the government railroMt
not far from Anchorage, is pare
bunk, is the opinion of B 11 Stsw
art, territorial mine inspector, who
has recently returned from exan.ii
tug that district.
"The rumors sent out in regards
to the strike at Girdwood were un
fortunate. lo say the least."' Mr
Stewart said. "There Is absolutely
110 basis (or the belief that there
will ever be any mines where li was
reported. There ate only stringers
»f quartz that are of little \alue
The report of the strike and the
failure of the cla.r..s makes it bad
for the Girdwood district proper,
which is an established camp when
sood pay is taken out on Crow, Cal
ifornia and other creeks.
"Many people stampeded from
\nchorage and other Alaskan cities
when the richness of the strike was
reported," Mr. Stewart continued,
'left their business affairs and in
rested money for outfits, only to
lihd that they were chasms a strike
that did not exist. This did hartr
0 the who'e district."
In the Willow creek district Mr
Stewart said that evaminations th*'
he had made leads him to believe
[hat contrary to general belief, the
reins there are deep seated, al
though they are not large This will
he thinks, go towards making per
manent camps. He found the Ready
Nullion the largest producer ana
other properties working were the
l.uckx Shot, Milo Kellys, Mabel, the
Hatcher properly and what is call
ed the Talkeetna mines
On the Hatcher property a ne*
mill w/is built this year and
mine is one of greu promise. Toor
mining and milling at some of the
mines in this district have retarded
its growth.
At Girdwood Mr. Stewart examin
ed what was supposed to be the rich
strike near the railroad and found
nothing there to base any claim on
its being a mining camp at any time
He was. however, struck with the
great mining distr.ot near Girdwood
on Crow and California creeks and
found there the greatest placer
camp perhaps in Alaska. On Crow
creek, Holmgren and Penhart, old
time Nome miners are taking out a
lot of gold by hydraulic. There are
other _ properties there that have
great merit also in his opinion. On
account of this being such a good
district, the touting of the supposed
strike at Girdwood on the railroad,
was a "particularly unfortunate thing
according to Mr. Stewart, as It has
done the whole district considerable
1 harm.
