That the men in this country are
igradunllv getting past the stam
pede period and and settling down
to good systematic prospecting is
shown by the work done in the Xi
zina country this year.
Kain & Williams, who own prac
tically all of Dan creek, have
wnrKed on each of their claims,
'running cuts and tunnels, until
they are in a position to state al
most positively what the value of
• each claim is.
tieo. Esterlev. who has charge of
the ('hititu Development Co’s
ground on Chititu and Rex, has
had a crew at work all summer
‘prospecting the ground in a proper
• manner. Holes have Wen sunk to
bedrock, claims crosscut and tun
mels run into the benches on the
rim. A careful record has lieen
kept of the value per yard of the
gravel taken out. Where laymen
were working the cuts were meas
ured at each clean-up and a record
kept of the time put in shoveling
• and the amount of the clean-up.
"With these figures, covering as they
• do nearly all the property owned
• by the company, it is possible to
figure out very nearly what the
•output of each claim would W if
'Worked on a large scale.
The Xizinu Placer Mining Co.,
which has an option on theCarvey
MeXcer benches, has done a lot of
systematic work which will clearly
demonstrate the value of the Xizi
■ na benches.
In addition to these large outfits
there are dozens of individuals who
|
have Wen devoting the summer to
good sensible prospecting instead
• of running over the country as has
■ Ween done heretofore.
As soon as the balance of the
prospectors ot this section quit
their stampeding and get to work
we will have dozens of paving
camps where there is one now. The j
foothills all along the Copper river
valley are crosscut by hundreds of
■streams on which good surface
prospects have been found and
there is no doubt but that many of
these will develop a pav streak
when properly prospected.
(iive up the idea of mud glaciers
with nuggets floating around on top,
Mr. Prospector. Do more digging
iand less mushing and you will lie
winner.
•
The strong winds we are ex|>er
iencing now cause considerulde
•anxiety among property owners
who are afraid of fire, and the
‘council was wise in appointing a
night watchman. They should go
further and take steps to have all
‘chimneys and flues which are not
in a perfectly saie condition re
paired. thereby eliminating most of
the chances oi a fire, which in these
'winds might prove very disas rous.

The Seward Gateway publishes a
prophetic dream telling of the im
provements there in 1924. Accord
ing to the dream Seward was the
hub of the universe, capital of Al
!aska and other things too numerous
to mention. It credits Valdez with
being the site of an insane asylum
where knockers are confined. The
‘Gateway is to be complimented
on having upon its staff one who is
gifted with such an elongated im
agination, for it must be a very
valuable adjunct to a newspaper
published in a town like Seward.
As far as the people of Valdez are
concerned they are not dreamers,
but business men and have busi
'ne« enough to attend to m* that

i Cook Inlet. From there they will
go into the Shushetna river country

Funny thing that prospectors
i have to take a boat flora the ‘Gate

Cook Inlet and the Shushetna.
Where is that summitless divide

They can reach the Shushetna
