SUNRISE. Feb. 2S.-Thc first great rush of prospec,urs and min CTS to the placer mines of Alaska Was to the Cook Inlet country in 1896. Thousands of people have visi!ed Sunrise since that time. hut only few. comparatively speaking. have remained, but those who have stayed with the country, have done we'll. As time passes, and more and better work is done, the more convinced the people be- come that this will some day be rich country in minerals. oil, and agriculture. Throughout the Cook inlet district, there are many plucer and quartz claims, coal mines and oil wells. while the fishing indus try has been carried on quite ex- icnsively for several years, there being a number oi large cannerics on the Inlet. fine climate is the best in Alaska. the vegetation is iuxuriant. the agricultural l,ossi- biiitie- are great. ami the country is noted for it's beauty. hcalthfuiness and abundance of game.
 Al Homer there are extensive coal mines employing large num- ber oi men. The company have built d large wharf. and il seven mile railroad. X few miles from Homer Is the new town of Aurora, where a thirty stamp mill is now being erected.
 On the opposite side of the Inlet at Inerskin bay is an extensive oil country. where several thousand acres of oil iand has been staked and two oil wells are now being sunk. Near this place is the new ;own of lllianna, from which place d trail is being built to Nome.
 Al Sunrise We have large num- hcrof rich placer and quartz mines. A large amount of money has been expended in mining machinery and development work and the annual cleanups in this immediate vicinity have been from ,OOO to $10O.OOO for the past four or five years. The output will be much larger in the future as the claims arc now in better shape for work than ever before.
 Among the largest investors and most enthusiastic miners in this place is <. w. Wiebel. the well known banker of Bakersfield Cal, who has valuable claims on Six mile and Canyon creeks. He has two hydraulic outfits at work and has expended over $5O.GOO in im- provments on his property. The output of his claims has een..quite large.
 The Polly Mine is one of the oldest as well as the largest pro ducers in this district. The output has been from $l5,OOO to $50. 900 d season.
 Fred smith has rich property on Lynx creek and has spent about $10.OOO in development work and Improvements. G. D. Hitchcock leased this claim last year and worked it to good profit. He has the claim again this year and ex- poets to take out about $20,0OO. During the winter two men have been running drift on this prop erty and picked up as high as $35 A day on bedrock.
 The Fresno Mining Co. have valuable property on Canyon creek which they are working to advan- i Continurd on Fourth Page.

News of Trans-Alaska Road to Nome. Dogs will Replace
 Horses.

The company which is running the trans-Alaska route to Nome from Illiamna have not succeeded in getting any mail through so far this winter. Tine trail Was kcp, broken and there were houses every thirty miles, which were well sup piled with provisions, hut they tried to carry the mail with horses and could not keep feed enough along the line ;o las, them through. They have lost about twenty horses this winter, and have been coni- pelled to adop, dogs to pull ;hc mail. The last two trains which left Illianina used dogs.
 The road runs from lllianna Bay 16 miles over q divide having an elevation of 1900 feet. to ti:c lead of Illiamna fake, thence down the lake 80 miles and across d tow cottonwood pass 35 miles to the head of Stuyak river, down this stream 35 miles to Munche;na. down this 20 mil,e io Nushagak. thence up that river 2' miles and lO5 miles up Iik>hik river to il nigh divide which ieaus to Anin river down which the trail runs lO:i miles to the Kuskokwim. From the Kuskokwim it is 62 miles to the Yukon. Tl,e trail strikes Holy Cross Mission on the Yukon.
 The entire distance has been chained and mile l.osts erected, ali the way from Northern Bay, ii further extremity of the road [" Munchetna river. There have been vast sums of money expended on , this road, putting in rpadhouses. stocking them with provisions and employing men to attend to them. Somewhere near 800 horses are in Use along the line, and large ware houses, stores and hotels have been erected at the Illiamna end. Tine company however, which is operating the business, have money to burn. One of the largest stock holders is H. 5. Crocker, of C;ilifor- mia. The superintendent of the work in the field is Geo. Barnes. who is at present on the road with one of the mail trains.
 Chas. Johnson, who has been working for this concern since fail reports that there was d strike made on Clark river, which empties into Lake Clark, during the winter. A man who was prospecting in that scection came into 'llliamna re- gently and showed some coarse gold, which he had banned out on the river. This stream has been all staked. but Johnson has found another stream, across a divide from Clark, which was staked several years ago, and for some reason has not been devel- oped. He found prospects encour- aging enough to induce him to go back again this summer.
 He reports that little has been done in the oil fields near Illiamna although considerable work i. planned for this coming season

For the Small Amount of Work That has Been Done SO
 Far.

Within view of the town of Val dez is piece of copper property deserving of attention. It is To- cated in what is known as Solo mons basin and consists of two claims of twenty acres each, back about four and Il half miles from tlH. government wharf at Fort Lis cum, with gradual fall of ground from the claims to the wharf. there bv making it an easy proposition to land ore at tide wa,er.
 In July 1901, \. E. Ellis, famil- iarly known as Red Ellis, while out through the hills on Il hunting trip. came across the ledge and staked it. The vein proved to be over twenty feet wide. He had no tools with him. hut succeeded in breaking off some of the capping, which he sent out for assay. The returns showed four and three fourthS per cent copper.
 The property later on fell into the hands of the present owner. W. W. Collin, the representative of the A. C. Company at this port. Mr. Collin secured some more specimens, which heinz assayed. showed $4.OO per ton in gold and four per cent copper. This re>ul, induced him to look further into the matter, so on last December he let out d contract to Eide and Fiel- der, by the terms of which they were to sink a shaft D feet and then crosScut. The contract also provided that they should place five tons of ore from the bottom oi the shaft, on the government wharf permission to do SO havi; 2 beer <, cured from Lieutenant Allison.
 The contractors after some little delay, started op 'ra' ions. They sank a 4x6 shaft, parallel with the vein and along tine foot wall. Hay, ing sunk to depth of six feet they were forced to quit on account ol water, having no pump to handle the same.
 Upon investigation after the last blast they found that the foot wall receelel and they were directly into solid bed of ore, which in,li. cated d rapid widening of the vein The sample brought in by Eide and Fielder shows d marked improve. ment in value, sO that Mir. Collin is more eager than ever to get dow, into the body of the ore and prov, its real value.
 More development work will b. done as soon as the snow leaves and it is confidently expected thai these claims will make paying mine.
 Mir. c. q. Hazelett arrived ir town on Monday evening from Tonsina. He reports the govern ment trail as heinz in excellen, condition. In fact it is in better condition than ever before. Tn, The Hazelett X Meales party ar, now bcyond the Tonsina ant are in the lead of the push.

AMERICAN FORK.
Things Generally Looking Up and
Dividends Promised Soon.

Every since the great Miller of Amer
team Fork closed its doors, so to speak,
there has been more or less conjecture
as 10 when some other outlet for the
great ore bodies known % exist there
would be found. In a somewhat des-
ult0ry way development and even ship
ments have been going on right along,
but not to a sufficient extent to create
anything remotely resembling the SEN
sational conditions established and for
some time continued by the Miller.
Some years ago Phil Margetts, the
well known local actor with John
Peters Of American Fork and one or
two others, obtained possession Of a To-
cation in that canyon and not FAR from
the Miller ground which was known as
the Kalamazoo. Some chunks OF large
GUIDED gaena brought from the ground
were enough to make ones mouth
water, but they were detached frag-
ments and the great body--it must be
a great one to produce such fine sam
ples-remalns buried under the shifting
debris from the mountain tops. hut Il
