A number of promising prop
erties on tiie upper Nizina are
claiming the attention of pros
pective operators. .The Diamond
ami Stevenson placer holdings on
Young creek are showing good
prospects. Experts report very
extensive creek and bench depos
its of gravel which on prospect
ing ha.-, shown values running
from 25 to -10 cents to the yard.
There is an abundance of water
and a good dump and plenty of
tiiubei'. There are veritable
mountains of pay gravei in many
places, while the creek bed shows
good colors in almost every pan.
Numerous holes have been sunk
and some tunneling has been done
by I lie owners, ami in every in
slance the inosl Haltering results
have been obtained. The ground
has been worked in a small way
for a number of years, but suc
cessful operation for large re
turns will require Hie installa
tion of a complete hydraulic
plant, al considerable expense,
bill il is hoped by the friends of
this highly favored section that
work will begin in earnest be
fore the close of tin* season.
Young creek is a tributary of I In*
Ni/.ina river, joining that stream
just below the mouth of the Chit
itu, on which is located the fa
mous hydraulic plants of George

hill introduced in llic senate, as
coming from the eommiltcc on
territories of I lie senate. || will
"blow up" as the Sulzer hill "blew
up," as soon as a little cold air
is turned «on. It is loo trans
parent to deceive long. It was
prepared by a commit lee of I he
American Mining Congress, and
was to have been known as the
Mining Congress hill, but at the
last moment, it was changed to a
senate committee bill. This com
mittee of the American Mining
Congress did not make its ap
pearance here, at least, I did not
hear of them, until the Flood bill
supplanted tin* Sulzer bill. They
then remembered thai the Amer
ican Mining Congress, away last
September or October, delegated
them to look after the people of
Alaska and to be exceedingly so
licitous for tin? welfare of the
Alaska people. The committee
seems to have taken a short nap
from the adjournment of the
American Mining Congress until
Ihe Seattle lobby retired from
Washington, and some of the
commiittcc came from the same
direction the retiring lobby took
on its departure. The lobby re
tired after the Sulzer hill "blew
up." I do not assert that there
is any connection between the
retiring lobby and this commit
tee of the Amferican Mining Con
gress, with its "one thousand
mile bill." But I cannot under
stand why the committee of the
American Mining Congress did
not come to the surface sooner,
in view of the fact that, the wel
fare of the Alaska people was
commit tod to its care away last
fall.
