CANDLE COMMENTS '
The dry sense. 11 has been most un
favorable for mining- on Candle. The
recent slight rainfall has helped mu
uerhilly through it was not of suffi
cient magnitude to afford much benefit
claims on the benches.
Together with a considerable exten
...ii 10 their ditch, built during the
tlo season, l>> ilu* lveewalik Mining
Company, the recent showers have en
abled the company to resume their
hydraulic operations on Bull Hill. Leo
wears an audible smile.
At the mouth of Jump creek Mr.
French also has been enabled to re
sume operations. Though his hydrau
lic plant is small, being necessarily
commensurate with the scant water
supply of Jump creek, nevertheless he
has accomplished most satisfactory
results.
Freight rates being prohibitive
Messrs. Hansen, Disen and Evans have
suspended operations till the freeze-up
and are preparing winter quarters in
anticipation of a winter’s drifting.
The Candle creek dredge is as usual
running twenty four hours a day. At
present they are thawing some rather
deep ground from which the overbur
den has recently been removed by
ground sluicing. At this work also
the boiler never ceases to boil. This
company too has all season employed
about a doen men ground sluicing oft
productive points and widening the
channel generally.
As usual the scene of greatest ac
tivity is at Patterson creek where
steam scrapers are employed double
shifts by Lee Bros, and Halloran on
No. 19 bench, by A. A. Lund berg on
No. 20, and by T. S. Kronquist on No.
0 below Blank creek.
On upper Patterson Nordlund Bros,
have built a ditch to furnish water
for Nos. 7, 8, 9 and 10, which they are
ground sluicing for next season. In
addition they have done considerable
hydraulicking on the right fork of Pat
terson. If the weather man favors us
with some rain they will doubtless
have sufficient pay stripped this fall
to provide them with a handsome poke
next season.
Mr. Heed, surveyor, of Nome who
has been with us since last boat—and
all will concede there is some time
between boats—has concluded his
work and is anxiously looking sea
ward and homeward.
Our lady merchant is selling off her
stock preparatory to returning to Nome
on the next boat.
ho far this season we have been
favored by the powers that be with
four mails and we hopefully ?xpcot
yet another. We wonder when the old
time dog packers are. They could fur
nish a better mail service.
Petitions for permission to join in
the territorial election race this full
have been freely circulated here and
quite liberally signed. Obviously the
prospective candidates, irrespective of
thir political “credo” have the hearty
permission of Candle to show their
speed. So far Candle has shown no
disposition to place a candidate in the
Held for territorial honors.
Air. Albert Coel of the Inmuchuk
spent a few days in Candflc last week.
We are informed that the road com
missioner has erected two stopping
places on the trail between lnmachuk
and Dahl creek. While this should
have been done long ago it is better
late than never and will surely provo
a much appreciated boon to those go
ing out in the fall or returning north
ward before the opening af navigation
and will obviate the necessity of sleep
ing on the soft side of a niggerhead
for at least two miserable nights.
We are pelased to observe that our
Inmuchuk friends are more generously
treated by the road commission than
we are in Candle. No doubt the new
loud up the river will greatly facili
tate and prove an incentive to, pros
pecting and if this part of Seward
penisula is ever to receive the pros
pecting so amply justified by present
results, under such adverse conditions,
it is surely time the government was
doing something to encourage the de
velopment of our resources.
Last year no part of the federal ap
propriation was expended at or near
Candle, and as that part of the season
most propitious for road construction
is already past it looks as though the
road commission intended to expend as
much more this year, but let us hope
we are mistaken in their intentions.
. Nearly a year aog a committee of
Candle citizens was requested to ascer
tain why no part of the road appro
priation was expended for the benefit
of Candle and its vicinity.
An inquiry addressed'to Major Rich
ardson elicited the reply that when
the superintendent of the Seward pen
insula district had reported on the
matter our committee would be noti
fied what it would bo possible to do
for the Candle roads out of this year's
appropriation. So far your corre
spondent has observed no indications
of the matter 'bseing Investigated.
A registered letter addressed to Mr.
\
. Jones at Nome ;in<l preferring a simi
lar request for information as to why
I the road commission ignored the needs
j of Candle in the matter of roads,
i brought the usual receipt of the let
| tor’s prompt delivery at the Nome
postoltice, but so far has failed to pro
duce the courtesy of a reply. Now
while we are loth to attribute our be
ing ignored in the matter of road im
provement, to any petty personal or
political prejudice, as some insist; or
yet to the croakings of the disgrunt
led, who leaving the camp, take then
knocking tools along, as is contended
by others; still we wonder why?
Candle pays a huge revenue in the
form of license taxes, etc., and all
familiar with the matter will readily
concede that it always was and still
is one of the best self-supporting small
cumps in Alaska. The traffic is not
and a loud at least as far as
I'arterson creek, seven miles * from
Candle, could lie turnpiked and ditch
ed at 'small expense, the cost of
gravelling is perhaps prohibitive—and
would prove an appreciable factor in
| the further development of our min
ing resources. A short piece of such
road was built two years ago and
especially in comparatively dry wea
ther gives very satisfactory service.
There is a considerable country ad
i jacent to Candle creek that such a road
would benefit and that on development
might show ilp a producer. Altogeth
re we have a trifle over two miles of
1 road built by poll tax.
Your correspondent thinks our camp
entitled to the benefit of some part of
the annual expenditure on roads, and
with many others, believes the camp
has been most unjustly discriminated
against.
Mr. Sciarini who accompanied by his
wife is spending the summer on the
Inmachuk is spending a few days in
J Candle.
The Candle school opened on Mon
day, 11th inst., with a very fair at
tendance.
Mr. it. Dimmick is spending a well
earned holiday in Nome.
Cnpt. Campbell, with his good ship,
has just returned from a cruise to
Deering.
A liberal wielding of the paint brush
has improved the appearance of our
bamlet considerably and several of our
buildings are undergoing the annual
repairs to defy King Frost the Fif
teenth.
