DREDGER GROUND
UPPER KUSKOM
Strike on Tulicsak Creek and Trib
utaries Making Good Showing
-Ideal Dredger Ground
lioberl \V. Mai-fin, of i<Iiltii*«•<I
and Iluby, arrived in Seward on
I he steamer Dora, with informa
tion of a new shrike in lli<> in
terior I hat looks heller than any
thing llial lias boon found since
he Idilarod was discovered. Mr.!
.Martin is an old-Miner in Alaska
and has boon In I bo scene of all
I be strikes Ibal bave been made
in I lie norlb from I lie Dawson
days to I lie Iluby excitement, and,
when lie says I list I a new country^
lias a good chance, and will make
a camp, bis opinion will carry
weight Willi il.
The new camp is in I lie Kusko_
kwim counlry, about tm miles
above Hotliol,. and opposite the
Tulicsak river. It is known as the
Hear creek counlry ami is slaked
from one end to the oilier, as well!
as all of I he I rihutai-ies, and ad
joining creeks. II is shallow, be
ing only from I wo to eiphl feel to
hedi'oek. ami the groale>| difl'i
fii 11 y so far eiicounlered is that
the k roil ml i> so wel thiil it can-,
not be worked save by a bedrock
drain. Some money lias been tak
en out from tlii> high reefs ami
point s of bedrock, but there will
have lo b<' :i liood drainage be
fore Ihe creek bottom can lie
worked successfully. The gold is
wlial would be called a coarse run
and is worth * 19.2lo .SIP.i iter
ounce.
Mr. Marl in brought out about
On ounces of gold from Hear creek
and no finer looking dust has been
shown on Ihe Kcnai Peninsula,
lie has an option on a group of
claims 011 Rear and i.s on his way
out now to get machinery and au
out til to bring,in next spring to
open up on a large scale. He is
of the opinion lhat the Hear creek
country will prove to be too wet
lo work by the old-fashioned
methods, but states that as a
dredging proposition it is id^al.
The groin.d is I hawed and there is
an abundance of water and plenty
of fuel. There will be a good-sized
crowd wilder in the new tramp this
winter and as soon as the trails
are open for travel there will
doubtless be a stampede to Hear
cieek fro:;.. Ihe Vukmi and upper
Kuskokwim points.

II STAMP MILL
IS STARTED UP
A New Mill Placed on the Newsboy
Extension Manufactured
at Home
Tin* MtM«i I livray-1*'is In-1* stamp
mill on | lie .Newsboy extension at
I In* head of Cleary creek, started
to pound on ore from ttie ledge.
After being in operation for a half
hour, it developed that the bat
tery frame was loose and would
have to be repaired. This work,
it. is expected, will occupy a few
days, so it is not probable that
any more milling will be done un
til Thursday or Friday.
Work underground is being
rushed under the supervision of
Colin !•'. McCillivray. one of the
lessees. Tunneling is going on
from the one level on the claim,
while sinking is also being carried
on. II is the intention of the
lessees to develop the claim as
rapidly as funds will permit.
There is a good supply of water
on I he hill al the present time,
so thai operation will not be mar
red from that standpoint.
The mill on the claim was made
in 111•> shops of ltrumbauph it
Hamilton and consists of five
stamps, each with a weiylit of 500 |
pounds. No concentrator is used:
in conned ion with the mill be
cause there is such a small per-J
rentage of concentrates in Ihej
ore at the present time.
