FOR A WEEK
Seattle, Feb. 24.—Mike Babsauki,
who was buried in a mine cavein at
Franklin a week ago, and who was

of food. A stream of water running j
through furnished air, and Mike*
worked for eighteen hours whittling
away a timber which pinioned his toot,
using his jackknife. Mrs. Babsauki
was about to buy mourning when she
was sea/.ed with a presentiment and
insisted on the rescuers resuming work
at the point where they had left- off.
After working but a few hours, Mike
was able to make himself heard by the
men working when tueir enorts were
redoubled and soon he was a free man
once more.

MINING ACTIVITY
AROUND SUNRISE
-
-
A great deal of interest attaches to j
the claims on lower Bear creek in the
Hope district, belonging to Tom i'er
ezo, Geo. Slay back and Ld. Hahn.
This ground was worked quite exten
sively about ten years ago by a deep
cut on hard bedrock, but the expense,
of mining bv this method was so great 1
and the margin of protit so small that|
the workings were abandoned as un
profitable. While prospecting near j
the old workings last summer the ow n
ers made the important discovery that
the real pay on the ground is on a j
false bedrock wituin a couple of feet j
of the surface and not on the hard bed- j
rock at depth as was formerly supposed j
; Mr. Hahn, one of the owners is at j
! present outside arranging for a plant j
! that will be installed and operated!
there this summer.
Frank J. Styles and Harry Miller of I
I Hope are planning on spending the |
coming summer in working their j
! ground on Little Indian creek in the j
Chickaloon bay country. Little Indian
creek was staked pretty thoroughly !
about twelve years ago, but there has
| never been any real serious prospect
' ing done there until last, summer
when Styles and Miller set up some
i boxes and shoveled for a short time.
They got a prospect t hat they consider
very encouraging and will return this
I spring and see what they can do with
the ground. Coarse gold has been
found on this creek and it is well with
! in the range of possibilities that a
good paying creek may be developed
' there in the near future.
I -
Axel Lindblad of dope lound a gtod
i prospect on a high bar on Winner
creek last season while prospecting
and is planning on returning in the
' early spring and will work there all
| season, Lindblad, as soon as lie had
demonstrated to his own satisfaction
that the pay was there, began ditch
ing to get a good head of water on t tie
ground. This work wascompleted and
now all is in readiness to take out
some money.
William Snook of Hope arrived in
I Seward Sunday evening from the
i Turnagain arm camp and will spend a
i week or ten days in Seward. In the
early days of construction of the Al
aska Central, Mr. Snook was one of
the engineers, and with the complet
ion of the work moved to Hope and
has been following the mining
•
game in that section ever since.
Dan Rict, at Kenai lake, has been
busv all winter in erecting quaiters
on the property that he is developing
opposite Mile 20. According to re
ports Rice has a good looking shown
ing with plenty of ore in sight and by
spring will have comfortable quarters
erected and be in shape to carry on
the development of the mine during
this coming summer.

Nutter and Dawson are planning on
opening up their Crow creek property
this spring with a good sized crew and
should have a good season. For the
past live years they have been doing
development work and moving a large
body of low grade gravel, too low in
fact to pay operating expenses, but
necessary to move in order to be able
to get at a large body of demonstrated
pay gravel. East fall this dead work
was completed and the coming year
the persistent operators will doubtless
reap the golden reward that will repay
them for the long years when tneie
was plenty of work done but no gold to
show for their etlorts. With reason
able luck they should establish a new
record for placer production in this
section this year.
E. J. Preston, of Sunrise, is planning
on spending the summer in doing some
work on Seattle creek this year, Mr.
Preston staked on Seattle creek about
fifteen years ago, when the Cook inlet
stampede was on and left to join the
rush to Dawson and has been in the
interior for more than a decade and
finding nothing better has returned to
Sunrise and will attain try his luck on
the grqund that lie left so long ago.
Old timers say that Seattle creek was
staked from source to mouth and from
rim ro rim, nineteen years ago, hut
that there never has t,een anything
but light prospecting done, and Pres
ton will be the first miner to put in a
! season there.
