GOMES BACK
TO OLD VALDEZ
Jacob KefTeler Will Spend Sum
mer In This District Pros
pecting the Hills
Jacob Kefleler, an old-timer in
Valdez, arrived from Fairbanks
last night and is busy greeting old
friends. He says I be trail is in
fine condition and came out in 12
1-2 days' traveling, lie reports
having met .'15 men between Cop
per Center and Valdez who were
mushing inlo Fairbanks. Very
few of I hose who were walking
over the trail went in via Chit
inn.
Mr. KetTeler is one of the best
hard rork n|jncrs in the country
and followed that line in the in
terior. Id answer to a query as
to the quart/, outlook in the Fair
hanks district he slated the pros
perls were promising, lie had not.
visited many of the properties and
did not care to express an opin
ion except upon those with which
he was familiar. He said the
Ilhodes-IIall is the leader. The
mine is on Bedrock creek, a trib
utary of Cleary near its head. An
other property which gave excep
tional promise was the MeCarty
claims on Wolf creek. Consider
able development work bad boi'n
done on a well defined fissure
which averaged from 12 to 18
inches in width and was rich.
Tests showed the ore averaged
$100 per ton. There were numer
ous other properties which were
being developed with more or less
success.
Valdez is Mr. KefTeler's old
stamping ground and ho will re
main here this summer and try
his luck in the hills. Ho believes
this is a better district for quart/,
prospecting as the hills have not
been ground down as in the in
terior.
