Gertrude, Amy and Lucky creeks, all
successive left limit pups of Liven
good, in the Tolovana district are
proving veritable graveyards of mam
moths, some forty or fifty, or more,
feet from the surface. Mr. Manton
has unearthed an enormous musk ox
head, and massive teeth, tusks and
bones may be had for the carrying
away. Some of the teeth would seem
to weigh thirty or more pounds.

First of German Language Papers
Nailed Under Order of the
President
(By Associated Press Dispatch)
ST. PAUL, Aug. 9, (By Mail).—
The first of the German-language
newspapers to cause displeasure offi
cially to the administration is the St.
Paul Volks Zeitung. Dr. Fritz Berg
meier, president of the publishing
company which gets out the sheet, was
arrested today by order of the Presi
dent and has been committed to jail
pending further orders from the chief
executive.
That the general policy of the
Volks Zeitung has been to “cast as
persion by innuendo” on American
war measures, is the charge .

[MINING NOTES]
W. Mack Foster and Willie Whit
ridge are at Talkeetna after a four
months’ prospecting trip about half
way up the Talkeetna river, and
brought back with them some very
fine specimens of free-milling gold'
quartz, and claim they have a con
siderable body of ore. Mr. Foster is
well known in mining circles. This is
the third or fourth time he has struck
it, but still he loves the game.
1
A large number of prospectors and
mining men are leaving for the new
strike up the Talkeetna river every
day. Talkeetna is the scene of a busy
and excited district over its mining
possibilities.
♦
There are more prospectors scout
ing the Willow creek hills than for
mally years past, and several likely
looking prospects have been discov
ered.
The reported strike on Alfred
creek in the Nelchina placer district
has proven a flivver. However, sev
eral nuggets of extra size were taken
from discovery. Transportation and
the long distance from supply points
makes operation extremely difficult
On the other side of the range of Al
bert creek, Getchel and Olson are now
working their claims profitably and
will take out several thousand dol
lars this season.
-«S—
Adequate transportation facilities
will make a big camp of the Broad
Pass district and the prospectors arc
all holding on tight until the comple
tion of the government railroad which
will solve the problem.
jtL ...
Work at the Talkeetna Mining &
Milling Co.’s property above the Ma
bel mine has started at full blast;
the mill machinery has been installed
and began grinding the middle of the
week. Reports from Willow creek are
to the efTetT that the Talkeetna is
working in good ore with the pros
pects of making several clean-ups be
fore the season closes.
