BELIEVES IN
HIS DISTRICT
Proprietor of Vaughn Roadhouse
Will Carry 8took to Enoour
age Prospectors
Early this morning Mr. B. F.
Vaughn, the proprietor of a road
house bearing his name about 60
miles out on the Fairbanks road
was loading a big outfit on dou
ble-enders in front of the V. B. &
M. store. He wanted to make an
early start in order to reach Wort
man's this afternoon. The trail
is in fine condition and he expects
lo experience no trouble in mak
ing good time over the summit.
In addition lo keeping the mad
house Mr. Vaughn intends fo keep
a stock of supplies on hand in
order that he may 1m* able l.» ac
commodate prospectors and min
ers of fhe district. There are a
number of promising properties'
in llinl district which lie believes
will develop inlo mines, lie hasj
some quart/, claims himself which
niiike a good surface showing, but
as it was late in the fall when
discovery was made no develop
ment work has as yet been don*.
The Ross, fllarkson and Foster
property, which is said lo be .*m
exceptionally promising one, is
within one-half mile of the
Vaughn roadhouse. Fall creek,
which produced some placer gold
years ago, is about seven miles
from the roadhouse and the min
ers and prospectors of the district
make it their headquarters. Mr.
|Vaughn reports that Ed. Dickey
| has a good quartz properly at 111 *
head of Fall creek and believes
he has found the lode which pro
duced much of the placers in the
valley below. Mr. Dickey will de
velop fhe property extensively
next summer.
The Larson and Holland claims
upon which a strong ledge show
ing good values was discovered
late last fall, is within five miles
of the roadhouse. The ledge lies
close to the government road, en
abling fhe miners to land supplies
at a minimum cost. The discov
erers have received several offers
for their property, but intend Ift
develop it themselves.
Mr. Vaughn is of the opinion
that the district in which he is
located is one of the best fields
for prospectors in Alaska. He
intends to keep a slock of sup
plies fin hand in order lo encour
age the miners in every way pos
sible.
GOLD PIEOE8 PROVE
