Says That Camp Showa More
Gold for Work Pone iNi^n
Any Other.
The members of I he govern
jnent party under Lieut. Howard,
who was sent into tlie Shushan
na to make a report on condi
tions in that camp, returned yes
terday afternoon. The party
consisted "of Lieut. Howard, Ho
mer Olts and two soldiers.
Mr. Olts is an old-timer in
Alaska, having spent .sixteen
years in the north and has visit
>ed nearly every camp which, has
been discovered during that time
and his opinion of the Shushan
na will be received by miners and
prospectors as coming from one
in whom they can place reliance.
He was enabled to make a pret
ty comprehensive examination of
the country on this trip, as he
has spent several years in that
section of Alaska and is familiar
with conditions tyhere. He/ .Re
lieves the reports coming out
that the camp is no. good are not
warranted. He slates that con
sidering the amount of work done
tile camp has shown more gold
than any other which lias been
discovered for years. In fact
very little development work has
been done except where the gold
is actually being taken out.
Mr. Oils says that no very line
(lust is found in the payslreaks
being worked, but that it is what
miners term “paystreak gold.”
lie has some small nuggets from
the ground of Carl Whitein, on
Little Eldorado, which vary from
a quarter pennyweight up. He
states that James is reported to
have taken out .$35,000 during
tile season. Many of those go
ing hurriedly over the camp and
seeing the operators working a
narrow strip believed that to be
the extent of the payslreaks.
This was caused by the operat
ors being in a hurry to get out
as much money as possible dur
ing the short season, but with
machinery the ground would pay
from rim to rim on many of the
claims.
in nescrii.iing iin* surrounding
Country Mr. Oils ways tlial with
tin* exception of Hie creeks where
pay has been found the rolling
hills are gravel and are very in
viting l.o prospectors. He be
lieves that between three and
lour hundred miners will winter
in the camp and tuul if tin* camp
is good they will find the pay
streaks. Everybody is short of
grub and those who are staying
are doing so because they have
failfi in the district. Small game
is plentiful and caribou and sheep
will help the' prospectors out un
til snow comes and supplies can
be taken in.
The parly went in over the
government trail to ttulkana,
where they look the old Aber
crombie trail to Cobb lake, then
over a divide and down Platinum
creek to Neucsna, up a small
stream over Cooper pass and
down Notch creek to Shushaniia.
Mr. Oils has traveled thou
sands of miles in A-laska and re
ports that the trail over which
they passed was very fair. Nat
urally there were bad places to
negotiate with heavily loaded
pacK animals, but even these
were not as bad as some he has
encountered on other trips.
EOHIPPUS HOOF 18
FOUND IN NONTH
N. B. Donahue, president of the
Eldorado-Doe Quartz Mining
company, has brought but from
the north what is claimed to be
the hoof of an eohippus, the
grogenitor of the horse of today.
The tip.v hoof was found in froz
en ground 36 feet below the sur
face, in a mining claim located
40 miles from Dawson. Mr.
Donahue asserts that scientists
who have, examined it, pronounce
it an ideal specimen and say
there is no doubt it is tlfe hoof
of a prphis'toric horse.. The hoof
is at tfPt i'80,(ifl^y^trs old, he
says, and perhaps older by I,
000,000 years or so. The hoof,
.the horn entering of which is
not preserved, is no larger than
the hoof of a young colt.—Ex.

Prosperity of Valdez.
A new mining company has
been incorporated by local men
which will mefcui the establish
ment of a mill on another Val
dez property at no distant date.
The incorporator* of the new
company are E. E. Ritchie, Chas.
Ganty, Jesse Martin and Henry
Deyo. Messrs. Ritchie and Gan
ty were serving in a legal ca
pacity and after the formation
of the company had been com
pleted they resigned. The direc
tors are Messrs. Deyo, Martin,
Ramsey and Rutherford.
The company has taken over
the: Rainsey-Rutherford property,
which is located on the right 'side
of the Valdez glacier, and will
continue development and place
a mill on the ground for the re
duction of its ore. The purchase
price was $1 15,000. Develop
ment will resume about Decem
ber 1st, when the task of freight
ing the mill and other machin
ery to the ground can be under
taken to advantage.
I lie properly lias been exten
sively developed during I lie past
year and has shown that the
leads gain in strength with
depth and continue their values.
Several thousand dollars has
been expended on development
work alone and a body of ore
has been uncovered which war
rants the erection of a mill. Con
servative estimates have placed
the value of the ore in sight to
|pay a profit of $75,000 over min
[ing and milling expense.
There are two ore bodies on
the property which have been de
veloped, one of which is exten
sive and gives values averaging
$15 pe'r Ion. The other lead ap
proximates two feet at the bottom
of the 135-foot'shaft and a ship
ment of fifty tons of ore made
from this lead to the Tacoma
smeller gave returns of *85 per
ton, gross values.
The operation of (he Ramsey
Rutherford property will mean
much to Valdez, as those inter- ’
ested are local men and are in
a position financially to carry on
their operations to a successful j
issue. The employment of the i
large number of men which will
be necessary |<> carry on the
work planned will materially add
to the prosperity of the local i
business men, and in a few more i
moulds another properly will lie
sending in its gold bricks to the
banks here.
KANSAS CITY STRONG
MARKET FOR REINDEER
The Pacific Cold Storage com
pany sent a shipment of one
hundred frozen reindeer from
JVomc on the {EJihu .Thompson
and the meat will he sent to cities
all ‘■along the coast and to east
ern points. The hulk of the
meat was sent to Kansas City for
some reason, orders having been
placed in advance.
The first shipment was made
two years ago, but because of op
erating difficulties no more came
las| year. A new plant has been
.installed by the company in the
norl h.
Reindeer are multiplying in
Alaska and there are now ap
proximately 50,000 head descend
ed from the few that were sent
to Alaska several years ago by
the government.
In shifting front one wharf to
pnother recently at San Diego,
Cal., the North Pacilic steamer
Yucatan steamed headon into the
West Santa Pe wharf, ploughed
(through a l6-foot platform and
several heavy stringers that sur
rounded the warehouse and nosed
through the north wall of the big
sheet metal warehouse. ,
THJ^ftfhhouse and wharf wore
thrown out of alignment for half
their lengths and the warehouse
\vas misplaced about two feet.
'Capt. Paulsen was on the bridge
at the time. A strong tide and
slight miscalculation are blamed
for the accident.

The Cheery Smile.
It isn't hard to smile and sing 1
on mellow days of fall or spring,
when skies are bright and sunny;
a man in comfort then can stroll,
and kick his heels and caracole,
and be guile-perl and funny. It’s
easy then to scatter jokes, and
pay to grouchy, gloomy folks, “If
you’ve a grief, behead it”; we are
all optimists in May, and many
a cheerful thing we say, and
claim all kinds of credit. But
when grim August burns the air,
what kind of smile do you then
wear to cheer the people? Are
your remarks still safe and sane,
jr would your language jar the
vane from off the steeple The
uplimi'St most worthy fame is he
who plays his joyous game when |
weather’s frightful; who smiles
serenely through his sweat, and
says, “Thiise days, already yet,
are most delightful.” But where, ]
ill, where’s this noble gent who <
won't confess lo discontent, who I <
smiles and chortles? I fear me!]
much lie’s in his grave; he's toojj
radiant and brave to dwell with | <
mortals. WALT MASON1. ]
