K0YUKUK
About 100 Men Left In
 The Country.
The Section is a Promising Field For PrOspectOrS, But Little
 Work is Being Done.

r.. F. Miller, q pioneer of Skagway and Naldes. is in town from the KOyu kuk. Last spring he and II. V. V. Bean, formerly of Nome, took the gaso- line steamer "Rough Rider" up the Koyukuk, intending to reach Coldfoot. They could not do so, owing to the low water. The Rough Rider was laden with supplies of various kinds, and these are being disposed of by Mir. Bean at Bettlea. The Rough Rider may be brought to Nome and placed on the Fish river route.
 Mr. Miller says that there are about loo men all told in the koyukuk sec tion. He believes that it will develop, in time, into good mining section, but it is, at present, no place for a poor man. There are few producing claims and number of men are work ing on the river bars and are taking out from B to S9a day.
 B.H. Kast, who left Seattle last spring for the Koyukuk, returned on Saturday. Mir. Kast reached koyukuk on June II. He states that there was great deal of scurvy in that section last winter. He met q man whose food supply for the winter consisted of 100 pounds of beans and 30 pounds of bacon.

Big Paystreak Found on
 Burk Creek.
A Ledge of Cinnabar, 2,G0O Feet Long With Clearly Defined
 WaIls...Samp!eS Taken.

Teller, Aug 1.-J. C. McCann, who has just arrived in Teller from the head waters of the Right Fork of the Agia- puk, reports that a week ago Judge Thompson found paystreak on dis covery claim, Burk creek, that runs from 40 cents to 1J cents to the pan. So far as it has been developed they find it over 12 feet wide. Up to that time they had found nothing very much better than a wage proposition, but now the judge is quite jubilant over his pros poets.
 The Lawson creek boys have found their paystrcak on that creek to be about 200 feet wide. It is about two feet thick and lies on d clay bedrock.
 In the same locality Mr. McCann has located several lode claims on ledge of cinna bar. The ledge crops out for a distance of nearly 1000 feet, and has clearly defined walls. As nearly as he could determine from surface prospects, it averages over F feet in width. He has samples which he will take to Nome fer an assay, in the expectation that in addition of mercury they will disclose considerable gold.
