MINERS BOUND
FOR. NELCHINA
Party Arrives From Westward to Go
to Nelchina Diggings via Valdez
After Investigating Routes.
A party of miners arrived from
Seward on the Sampson this morning
en route to the Nelchina diggings,
where they will prospect ground lo
cated by them last fall. The mem
bers of the party are Victor Guirn
bard, Charles Sheldon, Wm. Prender
gast and A. L. Speaker. They have
seven fine dogs and will take in sup
plies to last them for some time.
Their outfit will be sent over the gov
ernment road to Tazlina roadhouse by
horse teams in order. that, the dogs
may be fresh to transport it to the
diggings from that point.
Mr. Gulmbard went, to the new dis
trict from Seward when the stam
pede started last faft and was suc
cessful in getting ground which he
believes will develop paystreaks. He'
went back by way of Knik and his ar
rival here to take in his supplies bears
out the statement'of others that Val
dez is the better route to the new
diggings. He has been in nearly ev
ery big camp since the Klondike was
struck and believes the Nelchina will
prove extensive. There is an area
covering fifty squate miles, extending
north from Crooked creek, which is
a promising field of operation for
prospectors. Mr. Guimbard believes
there will be one thousand men in
the Nelchina next summer.
Some of the members of the party
are experienced hard rock miners and
will also prospect for lednes next sum
mer. Mr. Sheldon was formerly mill
man at the Primrose mine in the
Willow creek district. The Primrose
had a very successful season.
Postmaster A. G. Morey, of Chitina,
left on the Sampson for Cordova and
he will take the first train from that
point for Chitina. Mr. Morey was
called to Valdez as a witness.
Knik Citizens Are Not in Favor of !
Creation of New District to Em
brace the Nelchina Camp.
I
Hecent arrivals from Knik report |
that a petition has been circulated !
there protesting against the estab
lishment of a new recording district
which would embrace the Nelehina
digggings. The petition contains the
names of more than one hundred
miners who are interested in the Knik
district, and some of wdiom are claim
owmers in the Nelehina.
L. David, the recorder and coramis
sionre at Knik. has been giving good
satisfaction to the public and his
friends dislike the idea of the rev
enue of his office being cut off now
that it is assuming importance, as he
has served while there was only a
meagre salary in it at best. Many
*of the claim owners of the new
district are, however, in favor of the
creation of the new district. They
claim that to compel them to go to
Knik to record their claims would
work a hardship.
It is understood that in the event
of the district being divided Joe Con
roy, of Seward, will be an applicant
for the position, but the many friends
of Judge David will urge his reten
tion as commissioner in the new
district.
Ex-Governor Hutchinson, of Ne
braska, came over from Seward on
the Admiral Sampson and will inves
tigate a number of mining properties
on Prince William sound. Mr. Hutch
inson is a guest at the Copper Block.

ANOTHER MINING
DEAL IS CLOSED
M. J. Callaghan Becomes Interested
in Property of Black and Hogan
on Harriman Fjord.
Negotiations were recently com
pleted whereby another Port Wells
property will be developed during the
coming winter. That district is fast
coming to the front and next season
should witness considerable activity
there. The latest deal concerns the
Bate Black and Billy Hogan prop
erty on Harriman forde. It has been
taken over by Mr. M. J. Callaghan,
who has contracted to run 200 feet
of tunnel for a one-third interest in
the eground with an option on the
balance for $50,000.00 if he wishes to
exercise it after the completion of the
tunnel.
The deal is one which should ap
peal to the owners of the ground. The
locators have given the contract at
a figure which will permit their mak
ing some money while developing the
ground. Should it respond favorably j
they will have an interest with a deft- j
nite value which might otherwise re- [
main undeveloped for years. Mr. j
'Callaghan has good backing and can !
carry the proposition to success if j
conditions warrant extensive ppera-1
tions.
The ground is located within three
hundred feet of tidewater with plenty j
of good timber available for mining j
purposes. A splendid water power j
will provide cheap reduction of the \
ores. The lead on the surface is j
front live to ten inches wide, averag- j
ing $50.00 per ton, but it is believed j
it will increase in width when depth
has been gained. The lead is paral
leled by a granite dike four feet wide
which carries gold and as the gangue
on the inside wall pans strong it is
believed it will carry values with
depth.
Mr. Callaghan will leave on the i
next boat for the outside for the win- J
ter. His home is in Vancouver, B. C. j
