What Fir. Pepper Says.

$. A. Pepper who is interested in claims of his own and with Alex. Pat terson, one of the original lOeators of the creek, and who was drowned in KotZebue last Sunday evening". went up ro Candle with Patterson and l.. w.. snyder to make an cxamlnation for himself. Nlr. Pepper is, as all who know him will testify, a conservative and reliable Ean and his statements may therefore be accepted with the utmost confidence.
 II saw two men rock out 2l ounces in five hours" he said, ''and they shovel ed the dirt through 70 or three feet of water.
 "McPhee, Glendening and man named ''Scotty" have rocked out s2 loo on No. l9. They have taken out as much as $20O anu S300 in one day. So far as has been determined the dig gings are shallow.
 "The men that Ted Straven sold his sluice boxes to before leaving Candle creek are taking out from S3OO to $4OO. a day.

 Every man wbo.lTas been at work on the creeli has rol;e 70 show for his labor. Two men rocked out 2l ounces in five honrs from the bed of the creek, bringing the dirt mp through two or three feet Oi water
 These are some of the statements made by some of the men who returne' from Candle creek on the gasoline schooner Barbara Hernster yesterday morning. The Hernster left for tn. mouth of the Keewalik on KotzeLue Sound twelve days ago. The trip both going and coming was pleasant one, no bad weather having been encounter ed. Among the party who went up on the schooner 70 examine the new dls . gings were Chas. D. Lane. his son Louis, s. A. Pepper and Peter l5ongard. Mr Lane takes conservative view of tn strike. He said, "EefoEg l left Nome t0r Candle creek l was told that pan. had been found running from 10 cents to S2.tO. This statement l found 10 be true on arriving at the creek. Indeed, rans weighing halt an ounce have ten found. A numbt U. ll., .l ,.. ..- "; iH the bed. of the creek with rocker, and they are taking out pay. The creek bottom averages probably in wlu'h twenty feet. .it certain intervals riff nes are found in the creek, >bub there is 10 gold there.

The stream seems to have cut it's May through the tundra which Hanks either side, the banks being abrupt, for the most part, but not high. Whether gold will be found in the creek bottom proper and whether ic extends into the banks or benches is yet to be deter nined.'
 On the whole Mr.-Lane seemed to be satisfied with the result of his visit. There is 30 timber on the creek, which ia about twenty miles long with many tributaries. There is absolutely nothing in sight to justify a stampede as little or nothing can be done during the winter season. Besides everything in sight has been staked.
