NOTES
The Fairbanks limes reports
that pay has been found on the
Niggeriiead group of claims
where Kleinschmidt worked last
summer and had good pay. The
new find was made by two Rus
sians who put a hole to bedrock
at a depth of 180 feet. They be
lieve they will make some good
money next summer.
The Alaska King Mining Com
pany of Juneau has commenced
action against the Alaska-Gasti
eau Company over certain water
rights on Solomon creek. They
allege that they have spent $75,000
in developing their water power,
all of which is wasted and the
machinery on their property ren
dered valueless without the water.
Petersburg lias a live Commer
cial club and has revived the plan
to have a boat run between that
place and Sitka. The plan is to
organize a stock company of suf
ficient capital to purchase and put
uo operation a boat of adequate
size to handle the business. The
stock will be taken by the busi
nes men of Petersburg and STtka.
The Tacoma News 111 a recent
issue prints an account of the ac
cidental death of J. T Smith, an
oldtime prospector in interior Al
aska, by falling bead first though
a ;s!<ylight while working on a
building in Tacoma. Smith is
said to have made several fortunes
in Alaska and lost them all in try
ing to make more. Fie has a son
living in Fairbanks
Although a number of prospec
tors working on Mike Hess creek,
Tolovana district, have found ex
cellent prospects the pay has not
been lined up y?t and the miners
object to sensational reports be
ing sent out. The men are exper
ienced miners and the fact that
they are satisfied with the pros
pects speak well for the future of
the creek as a possible producer.
Two large electric and air whis
tles have been installed by the
Juneau fire department. The
whistles are said to have a deep
tone and can be heard many
blocks. They are connected with
the regular fire alarm system.
Fourteen plants, to say nothing
of the windlass outfits, are work
ing on Cleary cr.eek, this winter,
and the outlook for next summer
is exceptionaly promising. Plants
a^e working on 3, 4, 5 bench 8, 9
(i and 4. below, and there arc
three -or four plants beyond 13
that have boilers and are bus)
taking out the dirt.—Fairbanks
