PETE MONOHAN
WILL MINE ON
VALDEZ CREEK
Pete Monohan, who is op
erating a hydraulic outfit on
Valdez Creek, left on a re
cent train for the end of
steel, where he has about six
tons of supplies to be taken
in via Broad Pass and from I
Mile 319 to Valdez Creek and j
from which point he will go |
to his diggings. Monahan
will work ten men this sum
mer'' and the McKinley com
pany will work about thirty
five men on the Same creek.
An area of approximately i
three miles is embraced in j
the Monahan holdings and i
the ground has been opened
up fof heavy production this
summer- In all $400,000.00
has been taken from the
creek and the coming season
promises heavy output. Bed
rock ranges between three
and one hundred feet in
thawed ground, and the besl
pay is found in the deeper
gravels, although from grav
els ranging around twenty
feet Monahan has taken one
hundred dollars per man,
In previous years all traf
fic to Valdez Creek has beer
via Valdez and Cordova, en ■
tailing a distance of somr
three hundred miles. With
the advance of the railroa*
north the creek will soon b
brought to within fifty^fiv
miles of transportation.
The present northern wa
of travel is through Broa<
Pass to Mile 319, thence u]
Jack river.
The McKinley compan;
ilso has a heavy tonnage o
freight at the end of steel
«vhich has been contracts ;
for haulage, together witi
fourteen horses. It is plan
led to immediately begii
moving this tonnage ove;
ihe government sleigh roa<
and it will then be necessan
•/
to break trail over the broac
divide.into Valdez creek.
Associated with Monahai
is John Nelson, and also in
terested in the district an
Wickersham and others wh(
are prospecting Wickershan
creek.
Speaking oi prospects in
the Valdez creek , countrj
Monahan said yesterday ,h<
looked for sor/2 big strike;
on Wickersham creek nex
summer and that the dis
crict looked good and onlj
awaited prospecting.
“Another region that wil
produce when prospected, j
said Monahan, “is the slatt
and schist belt cutting the
range just north of Mile 275.
“These creeks have not
been prospected because it
.vas too hard to get into the
country heretofore,” t said
Monahan. “I tried it iir»()8
and it was impossible to
freight in supplies from this
side. With the completion
of the railroad .the cost of
freight will be cut from 30
cents a pound to About one
fourth that amount.—Anch
