REPORTS CONCERNING TOLSTOI
WERE EXAGGERATED, DECLARES
IDITAROD PIONEER IN RESUME
People who are planning to go to
Tolstoi on the strength of glowing re*!
ports printed here and at Anchorage
concerning that district are advised to!
read the following comment by the!
lditarod Pioneer, which devotes over
half a page in its issue of February
10, to discussing that camp.
After reprinting the interview here j
with J. K. Riley, and an editorial from \
the Anchorage Times of January 6, .
on Tolstoi’s richness, the Pioneer says
of Riley’s interview and ten ounce*
nuggets:
“The incident of the ten-ounce nug- ;
get is particularly misleading, lhej
history of this nugget is so well i
known here that it is considered like
ly that Riley must have been in joking!
humor when he allowed the newspa-,
j**r man to infer that it came from
the Tolstoi. The statement that
‘Tolstoi looks like a winner* will not j
be contested, nor the further state-,
ment that ‘it is the most promising
looking find ami since the lditarod.
Hut the assertions like ‘pay dirt has.
been located over an area ten miles
long’ is so misleading that it is mis
chievous.’’
In conclusion the Pioneer prints
the following under the heading ‘Ac
tual Conditions:”
Boob creek —On No. 2 below dis-,
eovery, owned by Ira \ an Orsdal,
there is good pay. The Krnrnet I* ruc
tion. owned by Riley & Mounier, con
tains pay which will run probabh S2
to the foot, and the paystreuk is
sixty-five feet wide, or possibly even
more. No. 1 below, owned by Riley
X* Mounier and \N. A. \inal. has pa\
which probably runs $2 to tht‘ foot*
Discovery claim, owned by the same
parties, has similar pay, and No. 1
above, also owned by Riley Mounier
and Vinal has known pay on the low
er end. No. has Rood prospects. Al
together there is about a mile «>f pa\
on this creek.
Mastodon creek—No pay has de
veloped. There are. however, good
prospects on discovery claim and on
\’o. 1 above. On Wilson creek which .
b a tributary of Mastodon, there are
good prospects also.
Madison creek—Two bench claims
at the mouth of Tob creek, owned b>
Wilson & Alexander, show better than,
ten cents to the pan. No drifting ha>,

pay was found. Discovery claim on
