"W. J. Krskine, manager of the

pany, known all over Alaska, will be
ready to outfit, and supply all who go

J. W. Felder, who arrived in Sew
ard from the Innoko country Sunday
evening;, gives a conservative report
of what, lie has seen and knows to lie
taking place in that mining region.
(Jains, Little and Ophir creeks are
the streams where the most ot the
mining has been done so far in the
Innoko country. Mr. Felder says
that ground on (Jains creek is rather
wet, and has been worked the past
season on the benches. From Dis
eovery bench there lias been taken
out about $10,000. On l'elky bench
from £25,000 to $.'50,000 worln of gold
has been extracted. Other claims
are producing in gold smaller amounts
running from $1,000 up. hit-tic creek
i: turning out to be very rich, hotter
even than (Jains creek, which is in
elined to be spotted. Ophir creek,
too, Mr. Felder says, is turning out
much better than was reported six
months ago.
Mr. Folder says tlto miners last,
year did not do thorough work and
becoming discouraged wont out giv
ing Uu> camp a bad niinic. The re
sult < I litis year's work lias led some
of the miners 1> predict that this
eamp will vet equal il not surpass the
Fairbanks eamp.
Next year's work, Mr. Folder says,
will show inneh l etter results than
the past year has shown, owing to the
fact that the miners during the past
summer have spent their time putting
in hod-roek drains. One minor by
the name of Mood has spent t wo years
in trying to got down to bedroek.
lie is not yet down, but he is taking
out. rich pans of dirt . A man by the
name of Hunter has ground which ho
ean work only in winter. After put
ting" in the second lire lie took out
$10 in gold and a nugget that weighed
twenty-nine ounces. Tito largest
nugget found previous to that was
one taken out by Polky which
weighed seventeen ounces.
M r. Folder represents a San Fran
cisco firm composed of Joaquin, Fow
ler and Twiohell. They arc now form
ing a corporation and will send a
boat with supplies in the spring up
the Kuskokwim. Ocean steamers ean
ascend that river as far as Bethel
where this firm has a trading post.
Mr. Folder is now on his way to
San Francisco from which port he
will return direct by boat lo Bethel
