LATEST INTERIOR NEWS NOTES
FROM LOWER YUKON POINTS
(From the Fairbanks Daily Times)
That the quart: of the Big Chena
hot springs district is very promis
ing, and that with a little work a
number of excellent ledges could be
uncovered, is tue opinion of City At
torney T. A. Marquam, who return
ed on Saturday night from a trip
through the district. He reports
that while hunting he sighted up
wards of twenty ledges that looked
good, although they were far re
moved from the beaten trails.
Mr. Marquam stated yesterday
that he felt certain that excellent
results could be obtained in quartz
along the Big Chena if the govern
ment would expend but a few thou
sand dollars in opening trails, so
that supplies and machinery could
be freighted to the workings.
Completing the season's work, the
big dredge that has been operating
on 8 above, Fairbanks creek, for the
past season sum down hist night.
The 25 men "vho have been employ
ed all summer were paid off, and
th® ground will be practically de
serted for the winter.
The shutdown this year is some
what earlier than in 1912, as the
machinery was kept going last year
until the latter part of -November.
Owing to the fact that the Alaska
Exploration company was reorgan
ized and its name changed to the
Fairbanks Gold Mining compiny.
the engineer :n charge, .Mr. Aarons,
was somewhat late in arriving in
the North this summer, and opera
tions were not started until the ear y;
part of August.
Mr. Aarons expects to come Into
Fairbanks today and probably will
leave for the Outside in the ne.tr
future. The work on Fairbanks
creek will be started much earlier
next season and the syndicate has
high hopes for the future.
That horses are carnivorous an
imals, when forced to it, was dem
onstrated clearly in the stampede
to the Chlsana, as Milo Saulich, who
returned yesurday, tells of having
>en compelled to feed his stock
hing but rabbits, and willow
for weeks Three ot the four
that Mr. Saulich took to the
f the strike survived the or
ills the strength of one gave
the stampeder was forced
Him.
-ulich is of the opinion that
there are 150 head of horses in the
diggings at the present time, and
all of thein are suffering for want
of food, as tutre is absolutely 110
feed of nay kind to be had.
For a time the horses were re
luctant about eating the rabbit
flesh, but after a time they ate it
with apparent relish.
The returning stampeder was
among the first to leave for the dig
gings by way of Gulkana, and has
spent more than a month in the
vicinity of the strike.
Although the greater part of tho
.ground was taken up when he got
there, Mr. Sauiieh, after consider
able scouring about, obtained a
bench claim which he thinks will be
a produoer. Ho expects to take a
good sized outfit in over the trail
during the early part of next year.
Owing to tho extremely low con
ditioli of the water in the Tanana
river, and the lateness of the sea
son, the stampeilers who left Fair
banks on the steamer White Seal
were unable to get to the hoadwa
ters of the stream, and the boat was
put in winter quarters in a blind
slough two m'les above Billy creek.
News of the actious of the boat
and passengers was brought to town
late Sunday evening by Captain
Morgan and D. . Campbell who re
turned in a smt.ll boat as far as the
Xinemile house, and finished the
homeward trip from thai point by
trail.
Harry Monror, who was a pass
enge- on the steamer, and who was
going into the new diggings for the
purpose of erecting Falcon Joslin's
wireless plant, returned with the
•two steamboat uien.
■* Captain Morgan, who was navi
gating officer of the White Seal, re
ports that Captain Sproul, the own
er, will spend the early part of the
winter with the boat, and expects
to dispose of the greater part of his
large stock of supplies belore com
ing back to town.
The greater part of the 35 pass
engers who were aboard have al
ready set out to prospect in the Bill
creek country, which is 35 miles be
low Tanana Crossing. The majori
ty of the prospectors think that
Ifillv creek i- a very likely looking
placer country, and will spend the
; winter there.
