FIGURE THAT CHICKEN
WILL SURELY HATCH
Following the excellent allowing made on 3 b Chicken creek, when
Dan McGinnis* ran into good prospect* two weeks ago, there has beet
a continual stream of visitor* to that locality, and a number of lays liav<
been takeu there that insure considerable prospecting and a practica
demonstration of the value of the creek before the breakup.
Chicken creek lays directly across from the head of Flat, cuttini
the same dyke, and running almost due south into Bonanza. It is ahou
two and a half miles in length and is practically on a line with Flat. It
is a narrow stream, except for the last three-quarters of a mile near tb.
mouth where it widens out into the Bonanza flats It is bounded 01
either side by high hills, is plentifully supplied with timber at the he»'
and carries a fine volume of water which runs beneath the heavy blank*
of snow all winter without glacialing. In visiting Chicken, one is ini
pressed with its location. Heading against the head of Flat as it dee*
it holds forth every hope that this creek has taken toll lrom nature’
store as did the creek that made the Iditarod famous.
Although prospecting has been going 011 up and down Chicken fo
the past winter, it lias been of 1 limited nature owing to lack of prope
machinery for teaching bedrock in the thawed channel that is suppose'
to carry the paystreak However, good prospects have been fount
along the edge of the thawed strip for over a mile, and with the recent
installation of a 10 h. p. boiler and pulsometer on 2 b, it appears likels
that the existence or non existence ot a paystreak vrill soon be demon
strated.
Going down the creek from the head, the Haggerty association i
fust encountered, consisting of three claims and laying 3960 feet up am
down stream. This assoeia'ion was located by Barney Haggerty, Job;
Coyle and Frank Conway, and the lower 2000 feet is held by Roosevelt
Densmore, Bashaw and Kaufman, who are now prospecting and put
ting in a bedrock drain. Late last week they had run into two and >
halt feet of 7c dirt and are prosecuting their work with vigor. It i
rumored that a lay has been let above them but no work has been dont
as yet
Below the Hagge.ty association lays the Snowbird association cor
responding to 1 and 2 a. This ground belongs to Meyerhorst, Krick
son, McKinnon and Seddon. Although many people have tiied to ge
lays on this ground, it is said that nothing will be done in regard ti
letting leases until the arrival of McKinnon and Seddon, who are 01
their way from the Outside. Little ir kuown about the prospecting
that has been done here.
Discovery claim is owned by Ernest Brown and was recently leaser
to F. B. Ingles, Pete Pierce, Max Altman and Lou Colbert. The twi
latter are in active control of the work, but are devoting their attentioi
to 2-b where the same parties have a lay, and where they landed tin
boiler and pulsometer last week. Discovery has never been prospecte>
to any extent.
One below is owned by Martin Redelspurger and Anthony Swee
ney, the latter holding a lay on the entire claim. A strenuous attemp
was made to get a hole down in the thawed channel on this claim, bu
it was found impossible without a pump. The claim showed good
prospects however.
Dan McGiuniss owns 2-b and it was here that pav was struck
something over two weeks ago that turned the eyes of the camp toward
Chicken. McGinniss did not reach bedrock on account of water bu
he found four feet of dirt that averaged 5c and indicated that he was or,
the edge of the paystreak.
At this hole the boiler and pump have been installed and Altmai
and Colbert are now drifting toward the creek. The whole creek i
watching the result of these operations with interest, as the work wil
soon show up Chicken for what it is worth
Three below is owned by Andy Swingen and some work has bee
done here by Bob Leslie with his hand drill. Owing to lack of propr
casing, this work has not progressed far enough to either prove or dis
prove the claim.
Adjoining 3-b it the Chicken association of four claims, extending
to Bonanza creek and owned by Billy McCurdy, Hank Rader and as
sociate*. Sam Godfrey and Roderick O’Toole have a lay on the uppei
1000 feet and are now engaged in putting down a line of holes acros.
the creek. Their work thus far has shown good prospects but nothing
definite eg to pay. Below them no work l as been done.

MINING PARTNERS j
MEET MISHAPS
—
While returning to his home in Seat-1
tie, H. H. McDonald, brother of Mal
colm McDonald, of Flat, partner of the
James boys on 17 Goldstream, and also
partner of E. A. Williams, of the Owl
association, Engineer creek, met with
a serious accident recently, according
to word received from Fairbanks, and
may be just now emerging from the
hospital.
He was returning to the suburbs
after an evening down town, during
which he had indulged in a heated con
troversy with George LaMontaigne, a
former layman. Just how the accident
occurred is not definitely stated, but it
appears he was struck by a swiftly
moving trolley car, and sustained sev
eral broken ribs and a bad cut on the
head which rendered him unconscious
for 24 hours. He was taken to the hos
pital, and was not expected to be out
for several weeks.
While this was taking place in Seat
tle, his partner Williams was having
troubles of his own in Frisco. Williams,
according to Frisco papers, went sluic
ing on Pacific avenue with a few boon
companions, and while there someone
appropriated a 85,000 spark which he
carried on his bosom. After reporting
bis loss, it took the entire detective
force of the city to keep track of Wil
liams, let alone the diamond.

JEWISH ENTERPRISE
DISCOVERED AMERICA
Dr. Madison C. Peters, a German
Imerican writer, has written a book
vhicli he calls “Justice to the jew,” The
ivowed object of the book is to place
.he Jew “on his proper pedestal.” and
Dr. Peters certainly makes out a good
case. He repudiates the idea that the
Jewish race is composed of wholly mer
cenary individuals, devoid of patriotism,
or any of the feelings, and in his book
'ives countless examples to prove his
statements. The strviees which the
Jewish race has rendered to the arts, the
sciences, economics, etc., are dwelt
upon, and the statement is made that j
"it was Jewish money and Jewish enter- i
prise which made the discovery of
America possible, as without their aid
the tattered flag of Spain would never
have been first to float over the new
world."
Dr. Peters also points out that the
Jews actively supported the Revolution
ists iu the war for independence, that
8,ojo Jews served in the war of the Re
bellion, and that a Jew was first to an
swer President McKinley’s call for vol
unteers at the outbreak of the Spanish
war.
In connection with New York city, it
is pointed out that although there are
1,250,000 Jews there, only 27 are in the
almshouses, and these are in all cases
afflicted with soma malady which pre
eludes their admission to the regulai
Jewish ch irities. Dr. Peters also state;
that of the vampire millionaires who
are at present sucking the lifesblood
from the American people only an in
significant number are of Jew ish orign.
‘ Cannot the Jewish race feel proud of
their reccrd," says Dr. Peters.
