CHISANA GOLD OUTPUT
PLACED AT $135,000
Tlie future prospects of C'hisana as
n producer are very discouraging un
less inoro discoveries and now pay is
found that that which is already be
ing worked. Up to August 12th the
Jnmos-Nelson properties had only
yielded $155,714.85, with only 20 feet
of ground left on No. C, which will
probably bring the full production of
these properties up to about $160,
000. These figures are still lower
than tho estimated production which
was placed at $175,000. Taking the
production of the James-Nelson prop
erties as 30 per cent, of the total pro
duction of the camp, Skookum Gulch
and No. 2, Little Eldorado creek ex
cepted, the total production for the
present year will be about $135,000.
Had it been possible for Range on
Skookum and Whithnm on Little El
dorado to put in a good sluicing sea
son, instead of being handicapped for
want of water, these figures would
have been materially increased, bring
ing the possible output for the sea
son^ up to $175,000.
The James-Nelson people are going
right ahead with their ditch with an
idea of going over the ground which
Hamshnw worked as well as figuring
very strong on the side pay. They
have stated at different times that it
was possible to get two-bit pans in
Hamshnw’s tailing piles, but Ham
show’s foreman, with an enviable re
cord as a miner in the lower country
and considered one of the best, if not
the best, in the Obisana district has
never been able to obtain the results
which the James-Nelsen people claim.
All of claims No. 4,5, 5-Fraetion and
6 Bonanza Creek as well as No. 1 and
No. 1-Fraction Little Eldorado will be
worked out. This is the ground which
the James-Nelson people figure on
hydraulicing next season. As virgin
ground, and the best, of it at that, it
produced less than $175,000. They
will also find as Hamshaw found it,
that there is practically no “side-pay.”
The creeks are so narrow in that dis
trict that in some places, and not a
few at that, the cuts run from rim to
rim,but where the cuts do not run
from rim to rim, the pay cuts off
short and does not gradually peter
out as is most often the ease and
where there is anything about tho
TIamshnw obi workings that will jus
tify the installing of a hydraulic,
plant is one which the miners of Chis

ana feel very skeptical.
It will bo surprising if there arc
more than 50 people who will winter
there this coming winter, the ma
jority of those who are leaving are
buying or building boats and floating
down the Cliisann and Tannna Rivers
into Fairbanks, though many plan on
going outsido coining out by way of
McCarthy. The reason for the river
trip is easily seen ns those who go
that way figure the cost per person
does not run ove: *20, besides their
getting [i greater amount of baggage
moved than would l e possible were
they to pay 25 cents a pound to have
,t taken to McCarthy.—Cordova Times.

UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL
SURVEY AT THE PANAMA
EXPOSITION
The exhibit occupies a space 62 by
"8 feet in the Palace of Mines and
Metalnrgy, flanked on one side by the
exhibit of the Bureau of Mines and on
another by the Alasknn exhibit, for
which also the survey has been in a
measure responsible. The central fea
ture of the exhibit is a booth, con
taining stagelike ^settings of a scene,
partly modeled and partly painted.
The first represents an undeveloped
district in the arid West being stud
ied by the survey. Topographers are
at work with their instruments on the
headlands; geologists have stripped a
bed of coal and are taking a sample
for analysis; and other geologists are
studying the rocks. Tn the fore
ground is an automatic gage beside
the river that comes out of the pic
ture toward the observer. Further
back, a stream gager is measuring
the stream. In the background is a
camp and pack train. The second
scene shows the same district after
development .The results of the
stream gaging have been utilized in
planning a power plant that show's in
the distance and an irrigation pro
ject that covers the valley floor. The
coal bed is being mined on one sine;
an oil field is under development else
where; a sandstone bed is being cjitar
lied in the foreground; mining and
milling are in progies-s in the moun
tains; a town has been built, and
roads, railroads, and other evidences
of civilization abound.
Behind the scenes, jn the same booth
but facing the ends, are recessed
screens, on one of which are shown
pictures illustrating the different
kinds of survey work and the part
they play in the development of the
country. On the other screen are
shown several series of pictures.
At one end of the space is shown
the per capita production of minerals
in the United States in 1876, about
the time of the Centennial Exposition,
and of the organization of the sur
vey, and in 1913, the period between
these dates practically covering the
past work of the United States Geo
logical Survey. The exhibit consists

iluction of each minora] in 1913 and
'one 48-millionth of tho product in
1876.
The space along one of the outBidc
aisles is devoted to a series of cases,
illustrating what our common things
are made of. what the raw material
looks like as it is obtained from the
earth, and where it occurs in the
ITnitod States. For example, many of
the familiar household articles are
there, such as nn aluminum sauce pan,
an electric-bulb fihnent, and a foun
tain pen point; and above each par
ticle is shown tho mineral from which
it is made, traced back to the ore, and
then a map of the Vnited States show
ing whore the ores occur. Most of
these individual maps have been pre
pared especially for this exhibit.
At tho west end of the space is an
exhibit of the power and fuel re
sources of the United States, includ
ing maps showing the distribution of
the black shale from which oil is de
rived and the apparatus used In the
field in determining the shales that
are worth studying.
In order to show the transparencies
included in the exhibit to the best
advantage, arcades resembling mine
entrances have been built at the corn
ers of the space. The methods of
work in the survey are illustrated by
a series of cases showing by a sot of
partial results how maps are made and
other features of the work.
In the portion of tho exhibit relat
ing to water resources is a display
of automatic gages being run by clock
work and recording the fluctuating
height of water in a tank.
One feature of tho exhibit Is the
stereoscopic pictures, resembling tho
old mutoscopo views but of modern
ized type. There are arranged in box
es fifty each on a table at which one
may sit and study leisurely carious
features of survey work. There are
also shown four series of pictures of
the Grand Canyon and Rock Mountain
region, taken in the early days of
tho Geological Survey.

GETS ANOTHER GOOD MAN DOWN
John Barlycorn won another victory
yesterday. It seems that A. J. Mc
Bain was rolling some full kegs of
beer up from the basement of the
Seattle Bar yesterday when, just as
ho had one up at the tiptop of the
slide, his foot slipped as many a
man’s has carrying less than a keg
of beer, and down Mack and the
keg wint, him underneath. When the
smoke of the conflict had cleared a
way it was discovered that Mack
was down and out with a badly cut
head and eye, a wrenched shoulder
and a sore arm, so that today he is
taking a rest.
