 Section of KOyukuk.
ACTUAL RESULTS GIVEN
Told by One of the Partners Working Discovery Claim Richness of Others of the New Creeks The Most Valuable Pan of Dirt Washed--A Shallow Country.

Some parts of the Koyukuk are un- douttedlY very rich. as testified to ytster- day by a miner just returned from there whose word can be relied upon, snd speak ing only from his personal experience this summer and of the ground that he a-tuallv travelled over the rich ground seems to be scattered oyer wide territory.
 The gentleman in question Is ], M G0- heen, who is returning to his home at Whatcom, Wash, with a number of large nuggets and several gold bricks turned out by the mint of the A. C. Company at Dawson.
 MT. Goheen and his partner w. P. Me Clay of Montana, are the owners of discov- cry on Emma creek, of Nos I and 5 below and No. } above. They were not the dis VoYerers but purchased from the discover CTS N. E. Nelson and Fred Morse, the first of whom was the dscoverer of the creek Nelson just recorded and left the property, not having struck anything promising. MT. Goheen and his partner bought him out for $500. The discovery was staked on the evening of July 4th this year.
 Emma Creek is on the middle fork of the Koyuliuk, six miles above Slate creek. It is about six mile long and the average width from rim to rim is about seventy feet,
 Fired Morse is on No. below" said Mr. Goheen last night, with the McNa- mer outfit, With six men they took out in ten days S36oo. Bedrock is from two inches to six feet. There are large bould- CTS, but we have no derrcks and have to use very little powder. We just roll the boulders over as we come to them.
 "You want to know the biggest single pan taken out. This was on Fred's claim and was dug up on August B, It washed out $228.
 "The largest nugget found on Emma creek weighed eight ounces.
 "l bave been over most of the country from the south fork through to the north fork. Myrtle creek, when first discovered, showed up little or nothing, but recently on No, II they have been taking out SI2o per day to the man; on No I2, S36 per day to the man; and on No. E they made good wages; on Nos. I4, IS and 10. worked by the Doughertv crowd. no one knows how much but it is certainly better than wages. Wages there are SIS per day, the men to find themselves. t#+
 "On Gold Bench, south fork, they have been taking out S7o 10 the man per day, and in the latter part of August a two thirds interest in three claims sold for s4o, 900. That Is fair idea of how claims run then. Further development has in- creased the prices asked.
 "On TramWay Bar nine men working nine days cleaned up ST .ooo.
 "GoId Creek, thirty miles above Slate on the middle fork, is good property. Three men there who have th'ee claims worked all winter and all the summer, The creek is three miles long and all stalk ed. We staked above discoYeryland I 5 below. But only those three men have done much work. They are Circle City men and are very close mouthed, They would not even say word to their old chums at Circle City when they arrived there.
 Marion Creek has prospected we'll but they have not vet got to bedrock.
