Alfred Creek, Alaska,
i Dr. Chas. T. Daggett,
Seward, Alaska:
Dear Friend: I am writing you a
few lines to let you know about' our
country. 1 have been here all summer.
Two boys, Olsen and Getchel, have
struck good pay on their ground.
Goes $10 to the yard. They are
! shoveling in how but are mining under
difficulties. There is a pay stream up
j add down the river.
I have a lay on 750 feet of ground just
above Olsen and Getchel. Two men
are getting coarse gold above me.
They get from 10 cents to 50 cents the
pan on bedrock, blit have not, struck
the paystpeak yet. I am running a
drain ditch on my ground and have just
struck the edge of the pay.
I found a small gulch two days ago,
from which my wife panned $3.35.
This is a good country and there is
! going to be something doing when de
velopment work has sulticientlv pro
i gressed to show up the paystreaks.
The paystreak is four or live feet in
depth and forty feet in width, as deter
j mined now, but no one has cut clear
| across the gold-bearing streak, so that
| the width is not known.
The country looks to me like old t ;me
I diggings on the inside (referring to the
! Fairbanks district where Brown used
to mine.)
1 am going to stay here as long as
my grub lasts and then l shall return
to Knik, and return next season with
a big out til.
Do you know where Doc Madding is?
If so please let me know as soon as
possible. With best wishes,
Frank Brown.
