GREAT FUTURE PREDICTED
TOR LI CANAL DISTRICT
9 Fred Fonze, a pioneer Alas It ai
1 and formerly United States deput
1 marshal for the Skagway dlstrlci
, arrived In this city a few days age
i and expreajes his "opinion in th>
most euthusiastio manner over th'
future of the district along thi
shores of the inland waters be
tween this port and Juneau.
He belevea that prospectors whe
are looking for a new. mining dis
trict—one which has hardly yet
bees touched, and which will even
tually become a producer of en
ormous wealth—would do well to
keep an eye on the mountains and
creeks along Lynn canal between
Douglas Island and Skagway,
"I* Ia a well known fact," Baid
Mr. Fonzo to a representative of
this paper, "that prospectors for
many years past hava occasionally
spent a little time along the shores
of the Inland Passage, and a few
have even ventured some distance
back into the hills, but all have
eventually been drawn farther north
and finally Into the Interior by the
lure .Of gold that had already been
found in the hopes of finding new
Helda.
"While prospecting last summer,
we were forced to seek safety in a
sheltered cove a lew miles north
of William Henry bay, and here we
found a small creek which looked
good. We immediately started pros
pectin 5, and found colors whenever
we washed a pan of gravel. We
lamed the stream "Gold creek."
Geographically this creek is in
ine with the Porcupine district,
ind undoubtedly at one time was a
ilacier bed. How much gold is
here, can only bo determined by
ctual woTk. My son Fred, junior,

John Reichart, who lias arrived

there tomorrow, »ay« the Seward
Gateway. Ho w0s mining In that
section himself last Bummer tut
, not yet been reached, owing to the
Y fact that the hand n;ade pump
which 'ho party used in keeping th®
water down gave out, eud they had
' no means of securing a new one thlo
' fall. They were forced to whlp-aaw
> their lumber for the sluices which
i they have made, and it was while
seeking timber suitable for lumber
that their attention waa drawn to
thu bench to-warda which they are
now digging. In felling a large tree
two smaller trees were up-rooted,
aud the roots were found to be em
bedded in wash gravel. When pans
of this dirt was washed, color was
found, some specks o* gold with a
value as high as 10 cents being
recovered.
When, the party left'here Uut

boat, but the engine gavo out, and
they have been forced to rely oa

In studying the formation, of the

coeli'sion that this section la geo
