Chisna Shows Up Well.
The property along the Chisna
.and on the Chistuchina across the
river from the Chisna made a
showing this summer which ex
cels anything yet uncovered in
that-section and which guarantees
that the ground will pay well for
working with hydraulic.
On the rim- of Chisna, 40 feet
above tire creek near the canyon a
cut was run this summer which
showed pay from the top down.
The surface and down for some
distance ran about 22 cents to the
yard, and when tire edge of the old
channel was reached some dis
tance hack from t he edge of the
rim the ground ran as high as lot)
to the box leijgth, with the bed
rock still sloping away from the
rim. This property belongs to the
Chisna Consolidated Mines Co.
| Near Daisy creek back of the
.postolliee an open cut £00 feet in
length was run on the bench
without striking bedrock, so a
shaft was sunk just above Daisy
credk and at a depth of 60 feet
broken up bedrock was found,
•where the gravel ran from $1 to
$2 to the yard. There was some
• trouble with water at the bottom
of the shaft so that it was impossi
ble to reach solid bed rock this
[•year. The indications are that an
i-o!d channehruns along this bench
paralleling the Chistuchina. The
group of claims on which the shaft
was sunk are owned by the Alaska
Central-Gold and Copper Co.
dtoth of the above mentioned
companies have been organised by
M. Denjpsey, who has been work
ing on this ground since 1900. Mr.
Dempsey reached town from
Chisna last week and brought
: some specimens of the gold from
the wo:kings. It is course and
contains more round shot gold
than the Chisna district has pro
[ duced heretofore.
We have received a complete
■ shipment of fresh beef, mutton,
pork, veal and spring chickens.
