EXCELLENT DREDGING
GROUND MOOSE PASS
There are six miles of good dredg
ing ground on Canyon creek in the
Moose Pass. country open to any ag
gregation of capital that wishes to
consider it, according to Joe Wilson,
old time prospector and claim owner
of that district. Furthermore, there
are men making good over there,
shoveling in and hydraulicking. Some
more real prospecting should open
up a considerable counry, in Mr. Wil
son’s opinion, because good pannings
have been made on many creeks, in
dicating that follow-up work would
get good results.
Mr. Wilson, at the Seward Hotel,
is sojourning in the city for a short
time but announces his intention of
getting back on the ground early
next week. The work now going on
this summer presages blatter activity
next season as the thought gradually
sinks home that there is much worth
while ground in that district.
Oscar Dahl of the Seward hotel,
who is associated with C. W. Stone
of Los Angeles, is hydraulicking on
’heir lease on the Wilson property
on Canyon creek, averaging around
$400 in a 3-dr.y run. Mike Connelly
has rich ground on Six Mile. The
Wivel property below the Wilson
ground on Canyon is showing good
gold values; if the Nels Anderson
[dam had not washed out last spring
on Canyon creek, operations would
have gone forward at better pace.
Fred Metz is shoveling in on Mills
Creek, tributary of Canyon and is J
I making good money; Bob Mickleson ]
jon Canyon is also taking out a Little :
| money.
The excellent progress of the Bur
eau of Public Roads work will be of
immense benefit to the present and
prospective operators of that district,
Mr. Wilson says. Men have been
handicapped bv hard transportation
conditions in getting in pipe, food j
and machinery. Better roads avail- (
able will greatly stimulate activity
in that country. The residents in
the Pass are all anxious for the day
when it w/ill be possible to .motor to
town in Alaska which, of course, is
Seward.

GRIMES HAS GOOD
PACK; HERRING SHOW
Word from Kodiak on the last boat
is to the effect that O. L Grimes
who erected a new cannery on Kodi
ak is prospering. In spite of the fact
that the general run of fish around
Kodiak was not a good one the
Grimes plant had a very good catch.
Herring in that vicinity are just
beginning to show but the run is
spotted.
With pups showing well, indications
are that the fox fur crop will be
normal or better on the Kodiak-Afog
nak group this coming season. Last
year put several fox farmers on their
feet after many discouragements, and
the industry as a whole is very much
improved. Eagle are taking a heavy
toll of the fox on the less timbered
islands, it is said.
