TQM DEVANE BELIEVES
STRIKE NEAR POORMAN
IS ONE OF GREAT PROMISE
The pay hole on beaver creek.
*cene of the rich find which caused
the recent stampede in the Ruby dis
trict, has been bedrocked with sur
prising result, reports Tom De Vane,
merchant, who was among the first
to report the strike some time ago.
i>ays Mr. DeVane, according to the
.Fairbanks News-Miner:
"Eighteen square feet of bedrock
was uncovered. One-eighth of the
dirt from the hole was panned, and
the total panning weighed out ?90.
Pay dirt is three feet thisck in this
,anu, according to the above fig
ures, goes better than v-0 to the
.•square foot of bedrock in this hole.
A hole bo feet up the bench from the
Ihole had S-l in the uottom and four
to six inches of pay dirt that goes
^5 cents to the foot of bedrock. The
(boys are now sinking another hole 63
feet towards the creek from the pay
ihole and 123 feet from the upper side
<of the paystreak. They are still 150
feet from the creek with this last
Ihole.
"The next hole will demonstrate
tthe width of pay. The boys have let
;some lays, and the next month will
itell the story as to extent up and
*doWn the creek from discovery Bea
rer creek is four miles across coun
Jtry from Moose creek, where Gtagen
;and Shropshire are putting on plants
<on very good but narow ground.

are some creeks on the north side of
the Buttes, which run into the Sa
latna and which are still open. An
other pay creek will make the biggest
thing since the Fairbanks camp was
struck. Everyone here is confident
that more pay creeks will be found,
as Eldorado, Nevada, Sutherland, Dia
mond, W ilson, Butte and Last Chance
are all just as favorably located as
Beaver, all running out of the same
butte in a fan shape, and all on the
inr.oKO watersheu.
“Grub and supplies now on band
here are sufficient to tage caie of an
additional one hundred meq,” states
Mr. Lie vane. “There is a tentmaker
here who can make almost any kind
of a tent. Boilers are at a premium,
but .here are materials here that can
be made into boilers easily. A short
age is possible in injectors, staam
gauges and pop valves.
"1 thinR we can take care of a pop
ulation increase of 100 easily, and
after that it will probably be advis
able to sound warning. There might
be some things in the luxury class
that will be short, but there is plenty
of flour, sugar, coffee, tea, maccaronu
some fresh spuds and quite a little
of the dry, beans, bacon, ham and
plenty of reindeer meat handy. No
one need starve.
ihere is no proven paysrredPK ex
cept on Moose creek as yet. On
Mooset i is lined up for 3.J00 feet 1
The pay hole on Heaver is the best!
so far sunk in the country, and, old
timers say, the best prospect since
the early days of Nome.
"The formation at the new strike is
the Long ere »k greenstone, as distin-!
guished from tta’ Poor man formation.!
U is said the formation changes on|
Eldorado creek, the first creek j.akcd j
•between Poornmn and Heaver, and j
the first right limit tributary of!
Poorman below Sunday creek, which
all oldtimers from here will remem
ber.
"Anyone considering a move on the
above information must do so on bis
own hook. The old-timers know that
no one can guarantee a continued
prsospect. However, everyone here
is very optimistic. Weather has been
from 30 to 60 below since the strike
was made, which has caused several
of those engaged in vrospecting to
contract colds. Otherwise there would
be some holes down before.”
