F. L. Ballaine, who dm mg the past
season has been operating on the Wil
son ground on Canyon creek, will not
work there again this year on account
of a lack of water, and is planning on
setting up an hydraulic plant on Six
Mile river, just below the forks on the
Wiblc ground. The property where
the plant will be installed was pros
pected last summer and lall and the
values demonstrated are more than
satisfactory, and Mr. Ballaine feels
sure that he will be taking out some
good pav before the season is closed.
The Six Mile river from Turnagain
arm to Mills creek, will come in for a
great deal of prospecting this year, and j
it is well within the range of possibil- j
ities, that there will be more plants j
installed as the showing warrants. In ;
the early days ot the Cook inlet stam- j
pede, this particular section was con-1
side red the best placer district in Alas
ka, but the rush to the Klondyke |
was the cause of this ground being |
abandoned. A dredge was installed in j
that section in the early days, but was
not a success, more from a lack ot
knowledge of dredging, than a lacK ot
values in the ground.
