OLDEST CLAIM OF
PLACER IN GREAT
CAMP WORKED Oil!
FAIRBANKS, Oct. <>, (By Mail).—
Although the day may come when a
further supply of gold will be dredged!
from its gravels and from the hugOj
piles of tailings that now cover it, the'
oldest placer mining claim in the Fair
banks district is now seeing the last
season that it will be worked by indi
vidual mining methods. For when Ha
not Brothers, its owners, finish up
their scraping operations this fall,
Discovery Pedro creek, staked by Felix
Pedro in ISM)2, will have been worked
out.
Whether or not the ground will ever
be mined again is a matter of conjec
ture. In all probability it still con
tains some gold, but whether an at
tempt will ever be made to extract it
is problematical. By some people it
EXEMPTION
MAY GO TO
INDUSTRIES
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—Officials
in the war department are seriously
considering applying the draft exemp
tion plan to certain industries as a
whole instead of individual men in the
next call.
Shortage of labor, so serious as to
hamper the government in rapid prep
aration for the war is the spring be
hind this intended action. The entire
industrial structure is overloaded since
the huge material and coni'"ruction
contract have been given out by the
government. In some sections men
simply cannot be secured to perform
the necessary tasks.
Shipyards are searching the coun
try over for men who can do their
work. Even without the operation oi |
the draft it is thought that difficulty
would be encountered in getting
enough competent men, but under
present conditions it looks almost
hopeless.
The railroads are swamped with
freight which they cannot handle and
munitions plants are also handicapped
by labor scarcity.
Deep concern is felt over the situ
ation here and all methods of miti
gating conditions are being gone over
for action must not be delayed that
will enable important branches of war
work to speed up. The United States
cannot throw her whole strength into
the fray until the labor problem is
solved, according to war department
authorities. Some sections of the coun
trv even now have conditions which
threaten the production of essential
materials.
The original order on draft ex
emptions was that every man’s case
must be considered separately, regard
less of his work and if it was found
that the lack of his service would
cause serious inconvenience to his em
ployers, he was to be exempted. This
was done to prevent persons hiring
out, for instance, as coal miners, just
long enough to procure exemption
which it was at first believed would
be given all miners. Now it may be
necessary to take the chance that some
slackers will escape this way.

Jl AI.IN MINE IS NOT
CLOSED FOR WINTER
JUNEAU, Oct. 24.—The reports be
in# circulated, especially to the west- 1
ward that the Jualin mine near here,
has been closed down, arc not true.
There was a shut-down for one week j
only. Between thirty-five and fifty
men will be employed throughout the
winter.

is thought that a dredge can make
money on any kind of ground which
has once paid for the operations con
ducted on it by the more crude meth
ods of mining, but dredge experts have
been heard to make the statement that
it is difficult for a dredge to extract
enough gold to pay for its operation
from the residue of gravel, bed rock
and tailings, after a scraper such as
the Hanots are using has once been
operated. For this reason there is a
divergence of opinion as to whether
or not dredge operations in the future
will pay on Discovery Pedro.
It was the news of the discovery ofi
gold on this claim in the summer ofi
1902 that caused the stampede to the
Fairbanks district from Dawson, from
Yukon river camps all the way down
and from Nome. Anxious for new
fields to explore, prospectors came to
the Fairbanks district from every
where, and as a result discoveries were
made on all of the other creeks which
have been or are still producers.
Mining operations on Discovery Pe
dro, however, did not start until the
summer of 100 ;. At that time the
discoverer of the ground and of the
camp. Felix Pedro, was in partnership
with the present-day Hanot brothers'
father, from which partnership the
Hanots derive their ownership of the
ground.
Many sets of laymen have operated
on the old claim, some to make big
money and others to go broke. No
great fortunes have been made out ot
it, but it has, when worked under elli
cient management, been a steady pro
ducer. The ground is what is consid
ered shallow at the present time, but
in the early days it was considered too
deep for opencutting, consequently all
operations on it were conducted by
drifting. At various times since then,
however, opencut operations have been
conducted on it.
And it is opencut work that is be
ing done now by the Hanot boys, but
it is being done with a scraper instead
of the antiquated hand methods. The
ground being worked in this manner
was first drifted in 1904 and 190.') and,
although it at that time made good
money, Hanot Brothers are taking out
a large amount of gold by going four
feet deeper into bedrock than did their
predecessors. They will finish up their
work on the old claim this fall and will
then move to Discovery (ioldstream,
in which they hold a three-quarters’
interest, where they will prepare to
operate extensively next year.
