(By 1'nited State* l:»HI<r)
WASHINGTON. Monday, March
12.—There will be a resolution intro
duced in congress at the next session
providing for an amendment to the
constitution of the l nited States
changing inaugural day ltom March
o to the last Thursday in April.
This proposition has been under
discussion every four years in this
country, but so far no move has been
made with any degree of success, lhej
underlying cause is weather. More •
presidents of the l nited States have!
been sworn in on blustery, stormy
clays than in fair weather and it is
a great hardship on every one who
has to take part in the inaugural
ceremony.

Mining Notes
Sixty-three thousand dollars in
three weeks is the record production
made last summer at Marshall city.
(ordo\a reports six or seven cars
of copper ore from Mother Lode mine
there awaiting shipment to the
smelter .
It is reported at Nome that Mur
ray, Sullivan and Kelly, who are op
erating on the Kathleen claim near
that place, have encountered very
good pay.
Charles Gay, one of the first oper
ators on Willow creek, in the Marshal!
district, arrived at Iditarod January
•>:). He came by way gf the portage
to the Kuskokwim. Gay brings word
of a strike made on Disappointment
creek about the first of the year by
“Shorty” Edgar. From the bottom oi
a shaft $<)0 had been rocked out when
Gay was the the scene, and it was ex
pected that the amount would total
$80. Disappointment was one of th*
first creeks located in the Marshal
district, and a great deal of prospect
ing has been done there, without en
couraging results, however, until th*
recent find. The ground is located
about half a mile up the creek, which
is about three miles long. It seems
that the pay has been missed hereto
fore by reason of the fact that th*
prospecting was confined to what was
considered to be the channel. Edgar
sunk near the right limit, and it
seems to be the general opinion that
the pay streak has been located. There
is considerable interest manifested in
consequence.
On Elephant creek, which parallels
Disappointment, being separated by
a low divide, good prospects also have
been found.
The new developments, Gay says,
have created an air optimism, and it
is expected that the camp will be a
lively place during the coming season.
There is a general belief that more
pay creeks will be found, and it is a
certainty that additional ground will
be opened up on Willow creek.

KEHOE WRITES
ABOUT CAMP AT
MARSHALL CITY
The following letter from W. 11.
Kehoe, who left Seward last fall, pre
sumably for Tolstoi, but who wound
up at Fortuna Ledge, gives a clear
idea of his conception of conditions
in the western Alaska camp.
It is dated December 2“.:
“At Ruby 1 heard of there being
good pay struck on Doorman and
would have gone out there but could
not go by boat, water too low and
overland transportation was out of
the question if you had more than
you could pack on your back. Also I
heard at Ruby that the Tolstoi find did
not amount to much, however, 1 guess
they have pay there.
“At Dawson, Gibbon and Ruby I
heard good reports of this place,
which is known as Marshall or For
tuna Ledge * * *
“Last summer pay was found on
Willow creek, which is about six
miles from Wilson creek and about
ten miles from Marshall, which is on
the Yukon river half way between
Russian mission and Androfski.
“Freight for the camp is unloaded
at Marshall, and forwarded by gas
boat eight miles to a place they call
the landing on Spruce creek, thence
overland three miles to the “diggings'*
on Willow creek.
“They have good pay on three or
four claims on Willow creek, and
probably took out $200,000 last sum
mer. If they find pay on other creeks,
and it is quite probable they will, this
should and no doubt will make a good
camp.
Bedrock is from six to twenty-five
feet where pay has been struck. Bed
rock is hard and full of deep crevices,
making it very hard to clean. There
is a large amount of boulders, almost
from the surface to bedrock. The
ground is thawed, is also wet. Many
places they can’t get to bedrock on
account of the water and this has
caused delay in striking pay on other
creeks.
“There are two stores* in Marshall,
one at the landing and three at the
diggings on Willow creek. There is
also a wireless station here. There
are about 250 men at the station and
hereabouts, business is overdone,
there being too many stores and res
taurants and lodging houses for the
present.”
