ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME
the thrift of those who have gain
The only source of cash income
is derived from serving big game
hunters, trapping and sniping gold
frohi the bars of the river. As the
gold-hearingVravels extend from
Cctoper. Landing to Skilak lake, it
is possible ‘duting low water to
sniped sufficient from the exposed
bars jto supply ja grubstake.
This area was tested with drill
by tjfro prospective dredge organi
zations, and gave an average, ac
cording tbUegend, of 35 cents per
y^rd With ' gold rated at a little
mo>e.than $16 per ounce. With the
price how increased 50 per cent,
5 this value‘climbs to about. 50 cents
per yard. Which leads to the belief
that the time is not far distant
When the entire region-witl: be in

this optimism based onN the. great
economy with which the ground
could be handled owing to acces

Poor This Year

to go in quest of herring but few
ratches are reported. The other
day two buckets of herring and a
mud shark was all that was caught.
It is said that the herring packing
crew at Latouche will probably go
south on the SS Alaska, unless the
herring decide to run and give the
boys and girls a chance. “Herring
chokers” who made a much as
$350 last season, have had as lit
tle as 14 days work this season.

Here agaip the absence of trails
plays an important part.. The only
access which penetrates any dis
tance into the hills to the south

a point at the bridge spanning
Schooner Bend, up the R,ussain riv

lakes and debouching opposite Por

down the lake from the landing at
Lawing. Here boat must be used
to travel further up the lake. A
trail also leads across Russian riv
er and on to Skilak lake, but is
j now much overgrown.
