The Alaskan Prospector.

Prospecting in Alaska is very
different business from the same work
in the desert and arid regions in the
Great Basin country. Instead of toll
ing on foot over mountains and water
less wastes of mesa at the heels OF a
sleepy burro, as do our prospectors,
the Alaskan seats himself in boat,
hoists his sails and Skins away over
the waters. The Alaskan Free Press
says "Quite number of boats have
left Juneau this week with prospect
ing parties and men going to various
localities to commence development
work on mining claims. During the
warm weather of the past week the
snow has disappeared as if by magic,
and it will not be long until the hills
are full Of prospectors.o

The Company own 5000 feet of
placer ground in Robinson Canyon,
commencing at the mouth of the
canyon and running 5000 feet along
its course to the Joanna mine. They
have sunk two shafts-one about 900
feet from the mouth of the canyon,
and at a depth of 40 feet find large
quantities of black sand, with good
prospects of fine gold, and have not
reached bedrock. Shaft No. 2 Is about
5000 feet from the mouth of the
CANYON and the rim rock was struck
at depth of 30 feet. This prospects
we'll in coarse gold and is getting
richer as depth is attained on the rim
rock. Several pans taken out of the
incline going as high as 30 cents to
the pan-thc gravel averaging about
8 cents to the pan--leaying no doubt
that the channel is rich, Some pieces
ON the rim rock weighed as high as
Is cents. The company IS going to
start several other shafts to thoroughly
prospect their ground, and have every
confidence of finding placers that will
rival the richest spots in California in
the palmiest days.
The recent storms and heavy snow
have retarded prospecting, but the
company has determined to have
things in shape to take advantage OF
the spring thaws, and will sluice
enough dirt to prove beyond doubt
that the ground is dividend-paying
investment.

ensuing six months are as follows:
