(By special correspondent)
More interest in prospecting was
taken after the close of the trap
ping season early in the year, than
has been shown locally for many
years.
Ed Haley, Nels Shul and Paul
August are showing a half ounce
or thereabouts of shot gold panned
on a tributary of some of the up
per Tikchik lakes.
R. A. (Butch) Smith, son of |
“Windy” Smith of Unimak, reports j
encouraging prospects from some j
head-water tributary of the Chu-!
litna river, which enters Lake Clark |
on the westerly side.
Frank Waskey has been working
on the head of a branch of the To
giak river and has found what he j
designates as “indications.”
Harry Stevens and Paul Romie
have already established a head
quarters camp on the Nuyakuk
river and will continue work, fol
lowing the known mineralized1
zone which extends from the King
Salmon fork of the Nuyakuk
northwesterly through the Kusko
kwim divide. It is to be hoped that
the topographical and geological
work done the past few seasons
in the Nushagak drainage area by
the U. S. Geological Survey may be
continued.
The present depressed condi
tion of the fur market and none
too bright outlook for the salmon
industry only emphasizes the need
for continued and intelligent
search for pay placer ground, and
likely lode properties.
Your correspondent is glad to
report that a number of men will
be leaving for the hills soon, and j
after the fishing season other j
parties will equip for real pros
pec ting.
J. L. Jean of Good News Bay and
Earl Forrest of Quinhaga, arrived j
recently from the Kuskokwim in
the M. S. Husky. They report that |

NO SOLICITATION
In view of the fact that ready
cash is less available this year than
it has been in years past, the fol
lowing suggestion for the Fourth of
July celebration was made at a re
cent meeting of Seward Post No. 5,
American Legion: That the size
and scope of the celebration this
year should be determined by the
amount of funds contributed.
No committee will call on you.
Messrs Hopkins, Sheldon and Chil
berg have been authorized to ac
cept contributions, or they may be
mailed direct to the Seward Post
of the American Legion. A list of
those donating and the amounts
donated will be made public from
time to time. On June 20th the
amounts received will be totaled
and the celebration planned.

CLARKE ANDERSEN, W. 1
HAROLD E. BOON. imtj.
from Juneau via Seward are al
ready at work on Small creek, tri
butary of Good News Bay, and
“b’lieve it or not,’’ actually found
10 cent dirt in the first hole sunk.
Mr. Grover has recieved build
ing material and will erect a cab
in on Small creek. He is also ex
amining the locje property found
by Andrew Olson and partner Hol
land near Cape Pierce.
“Slim” Smith and Johnnie Ben
nett are working on Wattaman.
Ed McCann is moving an outfit
to Small creek. Robert Gerke, mer
chant of Bethel, came to Good
News Bay recently to look over the
recent find there. He secured some
ground and will, presumably, do
some development work.
Tupper Thompson, Fred Walteps,
Garton Sinclair, George Wicket,
and others of the owners of the
•producing platinum p r o p e r t ies
near Ptarmigan creek, are already
starting the season’s work. Some
time during the past year George
Wicket found a three-ounce nug
get of .gold, a remarkably beauti
ful specimen of nature’s handi
work. George does not say where
he found it, any more definitely
than that it was within the Aralik
river drainage area. He does say,
tho, that he wishes he had not
found it as it has kept him from
working on his other property, and
so far, this nugget seems, like Lord
Dundrearn, to have flocked strictly
to itself.
The many friends of John “Klon
dike” Johnson throughout the Ter
ritory will be glad to learn that he
is recovering from the injuries sus
tained by. his fall from the dock
at N^knek. He expects to return
to his trading post at Kinak, on
the Kuskokwim, soon. But we all
gamble that when “Klondike” sees
the boys getting ready for the hills,
he will sigh for the old days when
he too fought the pestiferous mos
quito and twirled the ever-fasci
nating pan.
William Ott and Fred McGarry
were on the Kakwok river early in
the winter and it is probable that
the granite area lying to the south
of the right limit of the lower Kak
wok, will be among those sections
this summer having prospectors
in the vicinity.
Jim Timerman is quit well, and
is enjoying the wonderful June
sunshine we are having. Circum
stances have prevented Jim from
being actively engaged in the pros
pecting field the past few years
but he is one of the old guard who
neved lost faith in the eventual
finding of real pay dirt in the so
little known Nushagak region.
For the first time on record
there are more men in this sec
tion than can find work at the
canneries during the fishing sea
son. Every boat brings new arri
vals, all looking for work. The can
neries are preparing for a large
run of red salmon and the several
local stores have stocked heavily
with new merchandise in anticipa
tion of a good business season.
The many friends of Cap. Chas.
E. Anderson are glad to learn that
he and his associates have enter
ed the transportation and mer
chandising field with the M. S.
Polar Bear, and many expressions
of good will have been heard con
cerning the new enterprise.
H. P. Nicholson returned from
San Francisco and, with airplanes
a regular feature along the water
front, it is quite possible to see at
any hour, these long days, some
grizzled old rainbow-chaser wrap
ping himself around a combination
salad. And always the theme at
the table is; “Oh, for one more
camp as of old.”
