Cache Creek Had
Output of $200,000
M. A. Ellis Expects a Big Season
There Next \ear.
M. A. Ellis, who arrived on the Ad
miral Evans yesterday, is one of the
large operators in the Cache creek
country and reports a very good seas
on there for the summer just past
ami thinks the output for the season
to be nearly $200,000. Mr. Ellis who
has been in the mining game for a
good many years in Idaho ami for
five years in Alaska thinks that
Cache Creek is equal to or surpasses
any mining camp thi> side of Fair
banks and is the best producer con
tiguous to Seward. He has at pres
ent two hydraulic plants ready for
operation in the spring, having but
recently installed them. Although
this was practically a year of pre
paration and installing machinery,
yet Mr. Ellis took out $05,000 of the
yellow metal. He has the greatest
faith in the future of the camp ami
expects big things there for next
year. Many of the Cache creek op
erators and miners remain there for
the winter, while others spend the
winter on the Cook Inlet or in Sew
ard. The output for the past season
was considerably cut down owing to
the lack of water.
Harry Johnson came in yesterday
evening from his camp up the Resur
rection river, where he has been trap
ping. hunting and doing a little
prospecting.
Ren Sweasev came in yesterday
from down Kenai Lake on the train.

BIG MINING DEAL
MADE ON CLEARY
FAIRBANKS.—Luther Hess, who
left for the outside recently, closed,
or practically closed, one of the big
gest and most important mining
deals that have been made in this
territory.
Mr. Hess and his partners secured
options on all of the ground less than
60 feet deep on Cleary creek, from 11
above, to 15 below, with the exception
of a few pieces of ground which could
not be optioned owing to the fact
that the owners thereof were not in
the Interior at this time.
It is the intention of Mr. Hess to
sell the ground to some Outside
capitalists. The option will not ex
pire until December ill, 1917, but ac
cording to the agreement the owners
can work the ground until the pur
chase price on it is paid in full.
The average price paid for the
! ground will be about $1,500 per acre.
The area covered by the options oc
j cupv an area of approximately 700
! acres, and it is estimated that the
gold contained in the ground will run
about $40,000 to the acre.—News

$500 REWARD FOR THE
KIDNAPPER OF CHRISTIE
JUNEAU, Nov. 5.—Friends and
fraternal associates of kidnapped
William Christie today subscribed
$500 as a reward for information
that will lead to the capture of Ed
ward Krause of Petersburg, alleged
abductor of Christie. Krause is con
fidently believed to be the “Miller’
who posed as a deputy marshal at
Treadwell last Saturday, when
Christie was spirited away in a
launch on pretext that he was wanted
as a witness at Juneau.
The launch which is known to have
been owned by Krause, and which had
been located near Salmon creek, has
disappeared, and no new clues
have been discovered. Special Officer
Hector McLean returned from Men
denhall today, where he made a
search all along the beach for Krause j
or his boat. J. F. McDonald and
Deputy Marshal Sharpe of Ketchikan
also returned today, having made a
search toward Tee Harbor.
Friends of Christie feel confident
that within the next 24 hours some
trace of Krause will be discovered.—
