C. C. COULTER SAYS
PROMISE IS SLIGHT
Charles C. Coulter, formerly
of Nome, but more recently of
Seattle, writing from Cordova
under date of August 20th.
says: •‘I have just arrived from
the Chisana after a stay of
several day. where I thorough
ly :n-\e-ti-at-'d the probabilit
ies of that district."
“ If a single claim with f. ray
streak from four to six feet
wide and three feet deep, al
nost worked out by three men
two months constitutes a new'
gold field worthy of a rush of
thousands of men -and women
ow- where one half of the
hordes used for packing are
cither dead or discarded by
•.hen owners after 30 day-’
work and where the trails are
worse three times over than
were the Dyea or Skagway
trail- of '(*7 and '08 and more
dangerous, than the i'.hi>ar.a
"The country has been pros
pected for miles around and
gives slight promise of shovel
ing wages in even any one
place other than mentioned.”
"1 paned five crocks clear
to bedrock and never raised
a color.”

STEVE BIRCH NOT
SURE. BUT HOPEFUL
Steve Birch confidential min
ing engineer of the Alaska
Syndicate commonly known as
the Guggenheim*, is one
of the returning pilgrim* from
the Chisana, recently. Mr.
Birch says that while there has
not been a strike made except
ii dis
favorable. Indeed, he says
there lias been no prospecting
bone except in the immediate
vicinity where bedrock i* very
near the surface and there i>
an immense territory yet to
be prospected. Many large
out-fits are now being taken
into the country and it will gei
a through prospecting during
the coming winter. Mr. Birch
has a corps of prospectors m
that country.— Empire
