J.. w. |VEY
Late Collector of Customs Is
 Here on a Visit.
While ln Washington He Had . Talk With President Roosevelt on
 Alaska Affairs.

J. w. Ivey, formerly collector of GUS toms for Alaska, arrived on one of the late steamers. Colonel Ivey spent some time in Washington last spring. where he had an interesting interview with President Roosevelt in regard to Alaska affairs, particularly concerning Legislation, the lighthouse service, and the boundary question.
 "Presdent Roosevelt is a big man, mentally" said Colonel lvey, and he takes the greatest interest in Alaska: Alaska q delegate, and he is also much interested in an improved lighthouse system.
 Collector Ivey, it will be rembered, last winter shipped a Canadian col lector of customs, who had stationed himself in Skagway in an official capacity, bag and baggage into his own territory. For this he was rebulied by the treasury department, but he won his fight, and his deportation of the Canadian official iron American soil was sustained. He addressed meetings in seattle and in Southeastern Alaska, and his course was enthusiastically commended. He is here for the pur- pose of looking over his mining prop erty in the Solomon river country, and will remain for probably a month, when he will go to the Copper river section, where he is largely interested in copper properties.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
 GREAT K0YUKUK COUNTRY
Statement of Volney Richmond, Agent of the N. C. Co. at Bettles, Who Visited
 All the Creeks in That SeCtion

! The t'risby boys on their fraction | picked up a nugget, entirely free of quartz, weighing ISi ounces, besides about sl.OO0 in pieces from 10 cents to S'6, Nothing of importance has been found above this as yet. but it is liable 10 take two or three years to prospect the river, as the claims are 1920 feet by $50 feet. and even this does not take up the whole river bottom, as it is from One-quarter to one-half a mile wide in places. Work is being pushed from the mouth of the river, No. below to No. 20 above.
 Geld Bottom.
 Gold Bottom is a small pup emptying into the Hammond at No. ? above. There are but two claims on the pup that will pay wages or better, and as it is only from eighteen inches to two feet to bedrock it will be worked out this summer, if the water supply holds out. Sixty pans of dirt were taken from the surface down and netted 33.90 in fine gold and $l2 piece.
 swift creek is about mile fbOve Gold Bottom and about three miles long, but pay Ina, not yet been located, although several good prospects have been found, some as high as 90 cents to the pan.
 Vermont Greek.
 "Nermont empties into the Ham mond at No. l2 above and at the pres ent time is known to have seven 1920 foot claims that will pay better than wages. and part of the creek will un- doubtedly go sl00 to the shovel. Oscar Johnson last fall in few hours banned slj0 out of U small hole, after ice had formed in the creek. He and his two partners own Nos. ?, 3 and above and will probably clear from 5000 to s6, 900 apiece the comin. season. The creek is steep, shallow and very narrow, so there is probably no big money in it. Besides Johnson and his partners there are eight other men preparing to open their claims in the spring.
 Canyon Creek.
 Canyon creek, the next visited, empties into the middle fork of the koyukuk, about 10 miles above Ham, mond, and is from 30 to 40 miles in length. The first stake was set On this creek about February of the presen, year and d big stampede was at once started. every available foot of ground being located within ten days. So far it has been impossible to reach bed rock on account of water, so not hing i- known of that section whatever. Linda Creek.
 Linda creek is short stream emptying into the opposite side of the koyukuk, about mile below Canyon. There are only for or five claims on the creek, but I think they contain the easiest and quickest money in this section. Alex Grant and Ed Souther- land located discovery, and, finding good prospects, built 2 cabin, hoping
The Nome nugget., 1902-07-16

later to find work to take them through the winter. No work was to be had, so they built small rocker. thawed their dirt, carried in into the house and in d few days rocked ont over S3O9. The pa!streak is only about l6 feet wide and from Is to .36 inches in depth, which makes it very easy and quick ground to work. Tho ground will pay from Si00 to $l5o to the box length.
 Gold Creek.
 Gold creek was next visited, but little was being done, as the ground was mostly worked last summer and prospecting is unneces ssary, as nearly all the claim owners know just about what they have. As near as caa as- certain the following is what Gold creek produced last year: Discovery, S24, 900: No. above, SlO.00O: No. , above. 5,00J: Nos. and 4, $25, GOO: No. 5, s20 o00 As it cost from 5O to 75 per cent ot this to work the ground, the claim owners profit was small.
 Emma Creek.
 Emma creek produced about $40. COG last year, and the only work being done there now is whipsawing lumber pre-. paratory to working the coming sea. son.
 kelly's Mistake.
 kelly's Mistake is small creek a mile below Emma, so named because when Kelly went up the creek to stake hs supposed it was Emma, and did DO, discover his mistake till some time later. About S100 was taken out of one claim last tall. The balance of the creek has not been prospected.
 Myrtle Creek.
 "Nearly everyone who has heard o the ko!nkui; knows of Myrtle, for il was the creek which produced the first gold in paying quantities. Last yea, it was worked with but little success No. 10 producing about $6,OO0, which was all paid out in wages.
 "The work on II was more in the na. ture of prospecting than anything else but now tha, the pay has been located it ought to be good producer the coming season. Coarse gold has also been found on Clara, Minnie. Marion Jennie, Slate and Twelve Mile, but mol yet in paying quantities.
 Gold Bench.
 ''Gold Bench, two-thirds of which i. the property of Pickarts, Bettles & Pickarts, will be worked again thi. season, and should be good producer as the dead work has all been done.
 "It is reported that this section i. being boomed at Dawson and the out side, and the probability is that there will be about 700 people in over the ic, and several thousands by the boats There is nothing to justify a stampede as the country will not support the peo pie in it at present, but it may be tho means Of developing this into ricf mining camp, as it has hardly beer scratched oyern

The most comprehensive account yet published ;of Koyuknk is contained in . report made to the Northern Com mercial Company by Volncy Richmond, the company's agent at i}ettles. MT. Richmond made personal inspection Of the different creeks in February and March last. and then compiled his re- port, which may be accepted as b0ing in every way reliable Mir. Richmond says:
 Union G,,Ich.
 "The first creek visited was Union gulch. a small stream only about five miles in length. Gillespie N Marwi wick. who took out the SG00 nugget last fall, besides good-siZed grub stake on No below, were prospecting the benches for winter djggings and were also get ting ready to open their claim this summer. They had found nothing on the benches at the time was there.
 w. H. Gazette, who owns discovery, had simply been putting down pros pect holes, so that in opening the claim in the spring the work might be done intelligently. The ground pros pected from 50 cents to S3l per pan, and will pay at the very least Sl00 per day to the shovel. No other work was being done, but several other claims, which had been prospected last fall, will be opened this spring.
 "There are about five claims on the creek which will pay better than wages tSl5 per day1, but, the ground being very shallow. only averaging about five feet to bedrock and the pay,treak not over twelve to fifteen feet in width, this season will probably see the creek over half worked out.
 Hammond River.
 II next visited Hammond river. the scene of the latest strike, and probably the richest in the Koyukuk to date This river is yariouslv estimated to be from 10 to 100 miles in length, no white man as yet having been to the head, and is staked up as far as 20 miles from the mouth. as well as many of its tributaries.
 ''The first discovery was made in August last by Pete Dow, J. Schofeld and J. Sullivan. who, in taking pan of dirt from some exposed bedrock, found small crevice and took out of it about sl00. They there located what is known as discovery, No labove and No. 1 below on Hammond. Dis covery is being prospecled this winter by Schofeld and Sullivan, Daw being in Dawson. The first part of the winter they spent on the upper corner of dis covery. but about New Years Frisby Bros. X Hannah found that small fraction existed on the bend of the river alongside of discovery and No. l above, and staked the boys out of their prospect hole. Schofield and Sullivan then went back about 400 feet and in nine days had reached bedrock, at l6 feet, drifted eight feet and picked $500.
