FATHER LONGS TO RETURN
Writing to Seward friends from
Oregon, Father Markham says he
is broke, following his recent trip
to Europe, and is longing to return
to Alaska before the ice goes out.
And if “Lady Luck” smiles upon
him, he will be back pronto.

The scraper and Fordson will be
conveyed by boot up the Yentna

Fair view from the mouth of the
Clearwater, a distance of 15 miles,
| and will then travel by its own
jnower to the scene of operation,
i Dur.hrg the past season Matt
Ifluggar. owner of Mi'ls Creek.
!crosscut his pav for a distance of
1125 feet and recovered aporord
jmatelv 73 cents per yard from the
°rass roots down in ground run
jring 12 feet in depth The discov
erv was made alongside a pit taker
.">•'.1 in 1906 near what i- known as
the o'd Furguscn cabin at the
Jrnouht of Fergy Creek.
Bedrock was tanped by a bedrock
; drain more than 209 feet in length
|' equiring more than three years t/
jt.ompWe owing to filling in by
! Moods.
i Dur’ng the season of 1927 Huggar
[got his ground under control, his
looses set and shoveled in more
'than 2.000 yards of gravel. During
11928 he continued his pit diagona1
i’v across the creek on a slightly
raising bedrock and pronounced
the showing sufficient to warrant
him kissing his hand at trouble
and telling the world to “go to”.
Owing to lack of grade when nis
boxes were set, considerable trou
ble was encountered from the tail
,ace blocking with boulders.
Huggar rigged an old “boomer’
fo splash by the end of his sluice
boxes During two years the boom
er lov-ered the grade of the cree
approximately three feet and now
he is on an operating basis.
CliaCes Lockhart of Fairbanks,
who iast season staked on Pass
Creek along with Axel Nelson aiw’
( J. Ifncke, wi’l be among the new
operators in Fail-view during the
coming season when he begin.;
sampling a large area with a view
to dredging. It is expected severa1
Fairbanks men will accompany i
Lockhart, to the district.
Whan Lockhart returned to Fair • j
banks last, summer he carried str - j
eral ounces of gold he had panned
out m Huggar’s pit which occa- j
tinned quite a stir among the min
ing fraternity.
CRACK FROM QUAKE
A crack of unknown depth ex
tending across the Richardson j
highway up a hillside and down a
gulch as far as the eye can see
irom the road, was encountered
last week by an autoist. The Fair
banks News Miner states the dis
covery of the crack has led to the
belief an earthquake caused the
earth’s crust to part.
