The Rampant Forum says that big
Manook, heretofore called winter dig
gings, will be worked by hydraulics
and ground sluicing. The continuous
pay found from II to 55 above has de
cided mine owners to work the benches
by means of water carried from upper
Minook and tributaries adjacent to the
ground worked, while the creek proper
will be handled by the usual process.
The Dawson News says that the
steamer Gold Star, now in the slough
opposite the mouth of the Klondike
river, will be the first boat to leave
Dawson for the Koyukuk river. 1t left
Immediately after the ice went out and
will go as far as Peavey, and if possible,
to Beetles. Peavey is $50 miles from
the mouth OF the Koyukuk, and Bee
ties, the farthest point yet reached by
a steamer, is so miles farther. Fare was
S125, first class; 500, second class.
The Sitka Alaskan says that Prof. G..
c.. Georgeson was a passenger on the
Newport. He will make tour of in
spection of the various experimental
stations to the Westward, and will
probably be away some months. The
professor has conclusively proved that
agriculture in Alaska is by no means a
failure, and has clearly demonstrated
that if Alaskans will only till the
ground and carefully attend to the
growth of seeds planted, there is a
bright future for the country.
The friends and relatives of one Al
phonse Morel are extremely anxious to
ascertain his whereabouts if possible.
He is slightly remembered in Sitka two
years ago, whence he proceeded to Ju-
neau. Inquiries relative to him have
been received by Governor Brady from
the American consul III Marseilles,
France. Any person able to give in
formation on the subject will confer a
great favor on his friends by commu-
nicating it to the Sitka Alaskan.
The Skagway Alaskan of recent date
says that report was on the street
yesterday afternoon that rich copper
deposits had been discovered between
this city and Dyea and in the vicinity
of Smugglers Cove. 1t was also re-
ported about midnight that several
parties had started out just before that
hour to get on the ground early in the
morning so as to dosome stalking. They
were said to be supplied with bounti-
full supply of location notices. Efforts
to run the rumor down were fruitless.
The Dawson News says that if any
one still doubts the existence of a sec
ond pay streak on 3A Eldorado, as was
reported in the News at the time of the
discovery several weeks ago, they will
only have to visit the claim in ques-
tion, see the enormous dumps being
taken out, and they will be convinced
of the truthfulness of the assertions
made at the time. Work on the origi-
nal discovery on No. has temporarily
ceased on account of the old workings
caving in making further operations
unsafe. On ga, however, but a short
distance above, hosting has been car
ried on continuously ever since pay
was first encountered. A force of nine
men is now employed and they are now
taking out from 500 to 1000 buckets ev-
cry day. The underground workings
] have been so laid out that the pay

Myrtle creek, the richest claim in the
district, says that this year will see
great development and wonderful pro-
gress made in the Koyukuk. There
have been probably 300 men who have
wintered at the diggings, and they are
not the class of men who have hugged
the stove and laid idle all winter. 1t is
true that on account of the ground be-
ing shallow there is no mining in the
winter, but there are drains to be put
in, boxes to be made, prospecting to be
done, and one can always find plenty
to do. So far the section known as
the Koyukuk has only been scratched
over, but with improved river service,
more and cheaper provisions can be
obtained and we can have them brought
within short distance of the camp, so
they will not have to be sledded so far
the following winter; I look for some
splended discoveries and an era Of
prosperity similar to the days of '97 in
Dawson.
The Alaskan says corroborative re-
ports are being received of the rich
strike on lower Dominion below the
mouth of Gold Run. The pay is found
along the hillsides, according to the
latest word brought in from 227 and
253 below lower. Chas. Caulfeld, who
staked 279 below, says: "The pay
streak has been located along the Do
minion hillsides on the right limit all
the way from the mouth of Gold Run
to Sulphur and now men are jumping
over Sulphur and stalking out what is
supposed to be the continuation of the
same streak. l staked the last claim
on Dominion before crossing Sulphur,
which is 257. The pay on the average
is 40 to 45 feet deep. l have heard that
on No. 243 nugget was found worth
S145 and that the pay ran 81 to the
bucket On Nos. 252 and 253 the pay
was cents. Five cent dirt is common
ly reported all around the region of
the strike.
The Seattle Times says that zachari-
ah Mekkelsen Ryg, a Norwegian, has
been lost to his friends for six years.
A considerable fortune awaits him, the
property being in that city and state
and in the state of Minnesota. Admin
istrators here and in the east are try
ing to find the man. The last that was
known of Ryg was about six years ago,
when he worked on a ranch near Fall
City, this county. He is, if living,
about 33 years of age, and distinguish
ed by crippled knee, and wears cork
sole under one of his shoes. He is one
of seven heirs to an estate left by his
uncle, Elias A. q. Morries, who died
about three years ago at the Treadwell
mine on Douglas Island, Alaska. The
estate consists of some $1,000 or $4,000
cash in the banks and considerable val
liable real estate in different counties
of the state of Washington and in the
state of Minnesota. The administrator
here is Carl o. Qualheim.

streak now has a face of fifty feet in
length and running from four to ten
feet in thickness. Very rich dirt has
been brought up during the past few
days, the pans frequently running from
$40 to S1OO. A nugget weighing S93
was recently taken out. The present
drifts are 26 feet below the first bed
rock. Mr.. Pratzman and partners, who
have lay on 3A, intend working all
summer on the ground and in a few
days will be dumping directly into the
sluice boxes.
The Atlin Claim says that this year
Boulder creek shows great activity.
The trail via Surprise lake is Travelled
night and day by miners going and
coming with their sleds loaded with
provisions and camp outfits. A store
| has been opened on the bench facing "a
below discovery, and it is reported that
the owner has a hard time to keep up
with the demand. A general freight
service is being conducted between
Boulder and Discovery and Atlin.
Tents are multiplying, like mushrooms
over night, and it is a pleasure to see
the indications of life and prospective
activity after the dreary solitude of a
few weeks ago. The DeLaMare Hy-
draulic company, which started in
about two weeks ago, with some eight
or ten men, has bad hard tussle with
the ice, which completely covered the
pipes, fumes, bitches, ETC., to a depth
of from three to four feet, and now
continual land and mud slides keep the
men constantly busy. The right hand
bench above the creek is composed of
frozen mass of mud and boulders and
in thawing out great patches of this
become detached and slide from a
height of 100 feet and fall into the
fume with noise like thunder. The
prospects of this company's ground
seem very favorable, as even in the sur
face gravel some very fine nuggets have
been found.
The Ketchikan Journal says that the
find reported in these columns last
week to have been made about eight
miles northwest of town by E. W. Cur
ney and Jack Martin, appears to be one
of unusual promise, even for this dis
trict where surprises in the way of rich
discoveries are of almost daily occur
renee. This property embraces group
of six full size locations, mill site
and water power. The discovery stake
is only about quarter of mile from
the tide water of a good harbor, not
more than a mile off the route of all
the steamers plying between Puget
Sound and Southeastern Alaska ports,
and it would be practically impossible
to find anywhere a property more ad-
vantageously situated for the economi-
cal mining and milling of it's product.
The vein or ledge which carries width
of from five to six feet, is exposed over
length of at least 1000 feet, and the
ore, which is free milling, assays all the
way from s24 to s3O5 to the ton. The
trend of the ledge is east and west, the
slate formation underlying and the
hanging wall being a porphyry. The
owners will commence active develop
ment work as soon as they are able to
dispose of some other matters that de
mand present attention.

Koyukuk and owner of No. below on

ROLAND REEDS MARRIED LIFE.

Roland Reed was married to Miss
Somers in Philadelphia about twenty
five years ago. After living together
for five years they found they were
not congenial and agreed to an amic-
able separation. They remained fast
friends, and he made her liberal al
lowance. She always met him at the
theater on the opening night of his en-
gagements in that city, and she was
usually one of a family supper party
after the performance. About ten
years ago Miss Isadore Rush became
the leading lady of Reeds company.
and the world of their acquaintance
accepted the rumor that they were
married. This was never asserted or
denied by them, and it was not until
after his death that the truth that
they were simply devoted friends was
made known by Miss Rush's brother.
For professional reasons" he said,
I'VE did not think it necessary to deny
the rumor. They were simply friends.
Now that Mr.. Reed is dead and a
question of Inheritance may be in
volved, we deem it just to set the mat
ter straight"
