Thinks Well of Interior Country
i Boli Wiley, manager of the Maid
• of Erin mine. located in the Rainy
; | Hollow district, returned from a sev
• leral day trip to Interior points on
11yesterday's train. Mr Wiley visit
iled the Caribou district to make an
' i examination of a Rronp of quariz
; mining claims. While Mr. Wiley
I did not make any particular men
: tion of the property that he visited.
J in speaking to a representative of
lithe Alaskan, he was very frank in
f | giving his opinion as to the promis
> i ing future of the districts from Oar
S | cross to Atlin.
| Mr. Wiley stated that it was his
II belief that all that this section re
|l quired to prc.ve (tie merit of the
'' properties which are looking promis
ins. is sufficient capital to do the
required amount of development
■work to open up the ore bodies.
According to Mr. Wiley, about
twenty-five prospectors have stam
peded to the district in which the
reported placer strike tias made last
week. The discovery was made on
a small crook which has been named
Parub-creek, after one of the loca
tors. Gilbert Skelly. one of the
best cross country prospectors, who
ever came north, is expected to re
turn to Carcross either Thursday
or Friday, and should have some re
liable news to civt> out concerning
the nature of the strike according
to Mr. Wiley. Roh left for Mains
last night.
