’IN PROSPECTING METHODS
Stripping overburden and opening
quartz mineral veins is the latest in
prospecting*** is now being carried
j on in the Good pas ter camp GO miles
1 southeasterly from Fairbanks. The
work is being done by a crew em
ployed by John Hadjukovich. upper
Tanana Valley trader, a man of many
| enterprises.
The operation is the first of the
kind so far as known, in Alaska.
! News of the enterprise was brought
' to Fairbanks by Louis D. Colbert.
‘ pioneer Fairbanksan and owner of
promising quartz properties in the
| Good paster.
Mr. Hadjukovich.'' says Mr. Col
bert, “has hit upon what, appears to
be a very effective, modern way of
trenching and locating quartz veins
and die ng into the surface pros
pects. H: has cut veins on several
properties with the new equipment
f late, and it looks e = though he
has made a real discovery in advanc
ed prospecting methods.”
Mr. Colbert has spent most of the
summer working in company with
his partner. Bill M Conn, on their
'cad. n the claim of the same name,
in the G -odpaster. Ee reports they
uncovered a fine lead for a length of
100 feet, exposing a vein 12 feet
wide, with high values. Fifty dollars
per ton in gold was found in much
of the ere.
The Gristly Bear h?s been leased
to C. W. Tibbett of Fairbanks, who
is now starting Xf> drive a tunnel
into the property. With him are as
sociated "Doc” Calvin Criyes, Chris
Ellingsen and the Tveiien Brothers.
The Grizzly Bear 'ead is half a
mile fr m the Blue Lead, where Tib
bett has been driving a tunnel of
late. He drove in 300 feet this sea
son. and is understood to have found
encouraging values, and is preparing
*o do more work there, as well as
carry on the new operations on the
Gnzzly Bear. He has a compressor,
drills and other equipment.
About 25 prospectors were in the
G oedraster area this season, says
Mr. Colbert. At ut 12 are still there.
The others have ecnc’ >d^d heir pros
pecting for the season. Bill McConn
is or the lead of the Fortymile,
where he will build a cabin and pros
pect this winter.
Mr. Colbert is much encouraged
with the situation in the Goodpaster
and convinced, he says, that it will
prove a good quartz camp.

f Heotis's body has been found.
Navy officials started an inquiry to
determine the cause of the crash.
“Well, when does the fun start?”
asked the prisoner, after he had spent
on: day in prison.
"What fun?” queried the warden.
“There isn’t any fun here!”
“Well, I’m blowed! The judge dis
• nctly told me that I was coming
here to have the time of my life!”
“So you're the chief of police,”
said the stranger in a small town.
“Glad to know you. I wonder if I
