TROUBLE AHEAD ON
NEW YORK GREEK
Judging from the report brought
back from New York creek by J. R.
! McGovern, there is work ahead for the
I ,
j lawyers.
At the present, moment, says Mr.
1 McGovern, there are parties of Russ
I ians, Italians and a Tew Swedes on the
, creek, and there seems to be consider-!
i aide dissension among some of them, j
Partners have fallen out, and restaked '
claims, and there is said to be con
siderable overlapping. When Mr.
Manley was over there ho attempted to j
smooth out matters, and advised re-1
staking on systematic lines. His sug-1
gestions were carried out to some ex
tent; but it is said that some oE the
relocating was accomplished after the
passage of the new law, in which event j
the locating by ItiO-aere associations is
clearly illegal.
STAKES ARE STILL IN EVIDENCE
Practically ail that remains of the
famous Georgetown stampede of 1910,
says J. R. McGovern, are the stakes of
Rat and Jack O’Connor. The O'C’on- '
nors, it will be remembered, made a 1
whirlwind trip to the Geot'go river,
staking mile after mile of ground. Iu :
the recorder’s books at Georgetown l
over 50 associations carry their names, i
Of course nothing has beeo done on the
ground during the past year, and it is
all open again.

THERE IS HOPE
FOR SALATNA
Letters received from Ruby on
I Wednesday’s mail are decidedly dis
appointing in their general tone,
I and it cannot be said that pay has
been located in sufficient quantities
to insure a good camp. But the
Ruby distiict lias been retarded
much the same way as Iditarod lias
been by the operation of the old
placer law. With the new year it
is expected that a great deal of
ground located in 1911 will lapse,
because no as-ement work has been
done 011 the associations, and re
location in smaller areas by genu
ine prospectors will give renewed
life to the dis> 1 ict.
But while most of the cteeks
have been disappointing, the
Salatua river seems to promise well,
and residents of Rnbv and vicinity
are pinning their faith to that
stream.
In a letter to Duncan Micltie,
Tom Armstrong says that prospects
have been found on tributaries oi
the Salatna running from two to
three cents to the pan The
ground is about 40 feet to bedrock,
and is frozen. I'lie formation is
gray schist and slate, and looks
pretty good.
Mr. Michie is interested in nine
creeks on the Salatna His partner
there having staked single claims,
in preference to associations, so as
to give others a show. In add
f ion he is interested in some 4
claitu associations.
According to the Ruby Record
Citizen the creek which is receiv
ing most attention is known as
Tamarac cteek. It is about to
miles long, and the prospects were
found near the head.
During Mr. Sheppard’s a bsence
Deputy Marshal Tom Howell will act
as deputy for Iditarod City, in addi
tion to performing his usual duties on
Flat and Otter creeks.

SAWMILL FOR DISCOVERY, OTTER
William Bristol, the old sawmill man,
who was connected with both the
Slippern and Cleveland mills, is erect
ing a sawmill at Discovery, Otter
creek. The deal with the Yukon Gold
Company having fallen through. Otter
creek operators are making arrange
ments for a big busy season next year,
and the sawmill is party of the scheme.
Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Wood arrived
from Dikeman on the Nancy Bell this
morning._
Jack Wallace came to town during
the week.
George A. Paikes, of the general
land office, who recently visited the
Seward peninsula for the purpose of
examining the coal deposits in that
section, says that the individual
miner is getting scarcer every year
in the neighborhood of Nome
The dredges are gradually replac
ing all other methods of mining on
ihe Seward peninsula, except in
the more remote distiicts.
While Mr Paikes was at Nome
a number of prospectors arrived
from Squirrel river, reporting that
finds there were much better than
had been anticipated. Some of the
miners aie said to have had re
markably good cleanups
RATHSKELLER OUT OF BUSINESS
- I
The hospitable portals of Flat City’s
famous Rathskeller have been closed
to the dear public—the cash register j
is stilled, fires drawn from the ranges
and ovens, and ihe ketchup bottle se-1
curely corked. Orders for tho appe-;
tizing h-a-tu-and, the fiery chili con
carne, and the aromatic coffee ‘‘that
mother tried to make” will be "com
ing up” no more in that fashionable
eathouse. It was not a lack of patron
age that caused Jack Wallace to close
his establishment, but the move was
due solely to his generous consideration
for his corps of chefs, bakers and
pastry cooks, who wished to hike on
the late boats for the Outside, in order
to accept similar positions at Rector’s
in New York, the Palmer house in
Chicago, and Mushon’s in Seattle.
Mr. Wallace will linger longer in
our midst and will probably gather
some "further evidence of our sociabil
ity,” and when the Panama exposition
is going good at Frisco, he will go
there and preside at the opening of
-an oyster.
The Yukon Gold Co., had a cleanup
last Tuesday. It was very satisfactory.
Fresh cabbage just arrived—Crowley
& Porter's.
