:Nhllivan City, Aug. 2A.-The ditcb owned by Deiter &iGibson, which brings lthe water from discovery ca Alder to ework the hillside on the mouth claim nowned by the Seiilert Bros, has been giving them some trouble during the past week on account of fassing over sglacier. and they had to Hume for d few hundred feet in order 10 keep the water from cutting away the lower Tbank and returning to the creek. On tthis bench good pay is being uncovered and Gus Seiffert, who is spending few ,tiays on the creek, thinks that the pay taken from the creek proper last year was little bunch of gold which had slid from the present channel that they have located. Mr. SeiGrcrt thinks that the amount taken from the creek will be nothing compared to what the pres cent paystreuk will produce. "They Ithink we have the claim worked out. but we will surprise the natives, rfor we have just started to work it" be said.
 The Sloan Bros. have taken a lay frOm Jack Sullivan on No. 3 above iHayden's $ and will work cut parallel ito the one Sullivan is taking out at the spresent time. This claim has one of sthe best paystreaks on the creeK, but -pwin. to the amount of wcter to be handled it has just about paid working expenses. With the addition of the reight-horse power pump the Sloans -are putting in, the claim should soon tbe giving profit to the owners.
 R. J. Park, who has been workings a day on Alder, has given it upon account sof the amount of dead work required to be done for each setting of the boxes, and the low percentage he derives from the cleanups. F. Mulgrew, who shas been representing Mr. Park in de- vveloping the lay, is considered one of the best miners that has been in this section of Alaska.
 The ditch being constructed by the Gold Run Ditch Company is about com
  into it within the next day or two. This ditch is two and one-half miles long, and is being built to work;the claims leased to M. J. Sullivan. I. l.. Galen,and others. Saturday night some stwenty men who have been working flor the ditch owners were paid off. as the work was completed with the ex- sceptiOn of fuming in one op two places where glaciers were encountered. This ditch is considered one of the best pay ing propositions in the district, for they ,have paystreak located on the bench toff No. 7and ready to shovel into the sboxes the minute water is turned into sthe ditch. , Louis Better, one of the owners of Alder saloon, had narrow. escape the other day from what he says was an gently. He was shooting snipe with a ..22 rifle and ball from the rifle passed through his hat. The miners think he .lost his nerve when he took the last shot.
 James Collins has staked a water right to carry the water from Potter spup to work the bench claim off the mouth of Gold Run.
 Garoute X Ford have started to work No. below discovery on Alder creek.
