Miner Says Route From Copper
Center to New Dippings
Not Difficult.
Charles Mellerk, an old-timer
in this district, believes that the
men who are going into I he new
camp on the headwaters of the
Tazlina river via Copper Center
are showing good wense. He has
been over the glacier route, as
well as the Quartz creek trail,
and says he would not think of
going over theni again if he was
in a hurry to get into that coun
try. He first went into the coun
try in 1904 and spent two years
there hunting and prospecting.
He says (he government road,
to'. Copper Center has solved the
difficulties of getting into the
camp, as the road from Copper
Center to the headwaters of Taz
liina river is always in fair con
dition. There are no rivers to
be crossed which would overflow
in winter and make traveling dif
ficult. There is ample timber
along the route and he believes
the distance from Copper Center
to the place wilder the diggings
have been discovered cannot cx
..I 75 or 80 miles, lie has cov
ered the distance in four days
easy (raveling.
Mr. Mellerk stales I lull the
district is ideal for prosperities
and the report that the slrike lias
been made is no surprise In him.
lie saj^s that .owing In the
ground being frozen, and the
prospectors who were there in
the early days being inexperien
ced, no systematic effort was
made to reach bedrock. One hole
was sunk to a depth of 05 feel
on St. Ann river fifteen years ago
bill, tile man, who was working
alone, gave up the effort before
reaching bedrock. Jf the reports
of the find are verified he will go
in after the snow makes sledding
easy.

Locators.
Wlieii the Brighton left for
Port Wells this morning she was
loaded to the guards with sup
plies and building material for
