GENERAL RESUME OF EXISTING
CONDITIONS ON A JACENT
CREEKS
Reports front Council today indicate
that the mining conditions there ate
very similar to those obtaining around
,'ome at present. There Is not such a
considerable amount of snow but the
frost is still In the grounu and there la
no mining. One dredge, the Melslng
creek machine, may start up within a
tew days but the others are not expected
to be at work before the lirst of July.
The Blue Uoose machine will nut start,
in any event until a new engine Is In
stalled but as tills has not reaohe Chinik
yet the machine may not start tor some
time. Some repairs will be made on tlie
Wild Goose dredge and the material c r
same reached Council this morning in
charge of Fred Ayer. 'J he Northern Light
dredge is not expected to start for it
oast a week and the dredge of the Up
lift Mining Company is not mil of i.o
ice yet. The Buckhorn creek and Crook
d creek Hume dredge will probably not
start before the tlrst of the month.
On the creeks where summer open e ;i
mining occurs, there is much snow and
the general conditions are far from sum
mery. it is stated that there may ni t
ue any considerable amount of pick and
shovel mining, or at least no great
.mount is expected. Some small outfits
may work but no large operations ex
cept possibly at one point on Ophlr wince
Cunningham will resume his labors on
a lease from the Wild Goose
Candle reports that winter dumps built
on Candle and Inmaehuk have bei rt
cleaned up and summer mining Is no r
under way. although the weather is co d
and there is still no sign o. the ice lea. -
Ing the coast. The winter dumps all
cleaned tip well though the Inmaehuk
miners did not do so well as iu 191 "J.
All did pretty fair, i.owever, and all
are well satisfied with their winter lab
ors. Candle, although the mining product
was not up to the usual standard, de
veloped a splendid production In tlio
line of babies. Four were born during
the winter, ull in the Fairhaven hospital,
as follows: Mrs. Bobble Brown, a girl,
Mrs. A. S. Bittner, a girl; Mrs. Hilkey
Robinson, a boy, and Mrs. D. E. Capp,
a boy.

the Koyuk and the snow is well gone
Also mere is no ice on the coast. Re
ports from Dime creek reaching Chinik
are none too favorable. The sluicing up
of winter dumps is now under way but
nothing lias been learned as to other
mining conditions.
At Solomon the mining conditions arc
still bud. None of the dredges are run
ning though several are expected to start
up shortly. The first will probably be

ble ground has been thawed. The on vs
of practically all the dredges an on
hand doing preliminary work.

river section and there is little pros
pect of open cut mining commencing
