0. H. SLEEPER ORGANIZES
NEW MINING COMPANY
O. H. Sleeper has organized the
Gold Nugget Mining Company w’hich
will develop placer property on Bear
creek, a tributary of Resurrection
creek. The property has been pros
pected and worked at different times
for a number of years and has yielded
considerable gold. The trouble in
working this property has been with
the water, there being either too much
or too little. This will now bo over
come by installing a reservoir and hy
draulic pump to handle the water just
as it is needed. A complete hydraulic
plant is on the ground buildings have
been erected and everything is in
readiness for work with the exception
of the pumping plant which will be
installed early in the spring.
RICHEST GOLD MINE
STILL UNDISCOVERED
The management of the Alaska
Youkon-Pacific exposition, which will
| be held in Seattle in 1909, proposes
to reproduce at the exposition several
of the famous mines of the North that
made dozens of millianaires during
1898 and 1900. But the richest mine
that the North has will not be repro
duced for the simple reason that no
white man has ever seen it and lived
to tell the tale, so says the Phst-Intel
ligenfler.
In the early days of the camp a
certain tribe of Indians from the north
arrived in Dawson for the first time.
To the astonishment of the few that
saw the new tribe every member had
several ornaments carved from great
nuggets of virgin gold. This tribe
had never met the white men before
and to the breathless inquiries the
tribesmen told how near to where they
livedwas a stream in which the
J yellow metal could be picked up in
chunks as big as one's list. Nearby,
they said, there was a cliff in which
the metal stood out like moss on a
mountain side.
The Indians soon learned the value
of their ornaments and shrewdly re
fused to tell where they got it. Never
theless several prospectors tried to
follow the tribe on the return to the
northern village, but the wily red
men easily succeed in losing the less
agile paleface. Since then there have
been several more or less secret and
j always unsuccessful expeditions to find
the gold of the Indians.- -
The Old Alaska Sourdough.
The old Alaska “sourdough*’ has
reached the very pinacle of his happi
ness and contentment. He is snugly
stowed away in his warm log cabin
with a stock of provisions for the win
ter. Moose, caribou and mountain
sheep are within the reach of his gun.
Ptarmigan and grouse wake him from
j his slumbers each morning with their
cheerful calls to oneanother. Brer
rabbit is making tracks all about his
cabin, and the mink, martin, fox at d
many other fur animals of beauty and
wealth are being snared in his traps.
In the spring old sourdough will awake
from his lethargy, sell his furs, puts
on a pack and away to the hills and
valleys with pick, pan and shovel to
i trace some ledge of mineral bearing
! wealth or prospect the rich placer
beds of some river or stream. He
thinks his life one of pleasure and
happiness. Perhaps it is.
