MANOEL RETURNS
FROM RELCROM
Considerable Work Being Done )n the
Camp—prospects Not At Encour
aging As Hoped For.
Sam Mandel and O. J. Dhler, of
Valdez, and Frank Case, of Seward,
reached Valdez last night from the
Nelchina, where they spent the past
few months prospecting the claims
owned by them in the camp. When
interviewed by a representative of
the Prospector Mr. Mandel stated
that the reports sent out last month
regarding the finding of rich pay
streaks on five claims in the district
were wrong; that a discovery was
made on Poorman creek, but not on
Crooked, Willow, Albert or Noon
gulch.
“On Crooked Creek,” said Mandel,
“we sunk two holes through frozen
ground, one reaching bedrock at a
depth of 60 feet, the other at 32
feet, and we drifted for many feet
!«* an effort to locate a pay streak,
but failed. We also ran a 500-foot
bedrock drain across the mouth of
Cristo gulch and received encourag
ing prospects but have not found the
pay. My associates will remain on
the claims until the freezeup, con
tinuing the work of .prospecting the
ground.
“The report of a shortage of food
supplies in the camp is also erron
eous, as plenty of supplies can be
purchased for reasonable prices, sev
eral large outfits having reached the
camp just before the breakup.
“On Crooked creek the men have
sunk a hole 185 feet, but have not
found bedrock but will continue the
work. One of the workmen was se
verely burned by gas when the hole
had been sunk 172 feet.
“Unless the miners now on the
ground find more encouragement most
of them will be leaving the - camp
about the middle of August, as they
will have been able to convince them
s Ives of the worth of their claims
by that time.”
