CHANDELAR
VERY QUIET
Gold Production Last
Season Less Than
$20,000.
Very ltulfe ha3 been done in a mining
in the Chandelar section during
5hfe reign of high prices and work in
general-is practical ly at* a standstill;
according"to Jack Hoizer and Anthony
Sweeney, who came from that section
recently.
Last season, said Mr. Holzer. opera
tirins were confined mostly to work on
twO creeks—Little Squaw and Big
creeks. Little Squaw yielded about
$10,000, and Big creek about $9,000. A
little money was found at the head of
Tobin, perhaps $300 or $400, and more
prospect work will be done on this lat
creek the coming summer
The-east fork of fche-Chaodelar looks
like a fine country to prt>3pect in* said
MfSHolzer, although there is no occa
sion for anyone to stampede into that
section.
At the present'time there are about
thirty people in the Chandelar section,
most of them old-timers. Several of
thfem have been in that section since
1904, among thie bunch of early boys
being D,’A. Murphy, 0. J. Nicholson,
Arthur Newton,-Manual Mellon, Yern
Watts, Charlie JMcNett, and ’ perhaps
others. Later arrivals, who have-been
ihbre-for a long time,"include Billy
HeDafaiela. ‘Paddy Stapleton, Charlie
Lebean, Nick Martin, Curley Smith,
Harry Cduiter, McCall, Morrison, T. G.
Ckrter, Wilkes, Woods, Shaw, Charlie
O’Connell. Also there is Frank Ya
suda, a Jap, who has been in Alaska
for 35 years, having come by way of
Point Barrow, and who has been in
the Chandelar district since 1906. He
ruhs'the only store, doing a little min
in 'gon the side.
Supplies are-freighted from Beaver,
on1 the Yukon, a distance of 125- miles,
