The strike was made last sum- mer, but it has been carefully con- cealed. He also thinks there is good pay on Columbia creek, which enters the KougarOk five above the mouth of sMacklln on tue west.

CURLY CARR

The 2O-Round Contest Between Carr and Pigeon Last Night Was a
 Fine Exhibition.

A crowded house witnessed the 20- r jund contest between Curly Carr and larry Pigeon at the Standard last nj gbt.
 Carr was seconded by Burke and
 .aros while Rowland and the Larhine Kid did similar duty for Pigeon. The contest was about as fierce as has taken ,lace in Nome. In the first round Carr llrt his right hand and could make very little use of it during lhe re- nainder of the fight, but he won the
 ght with lett-hand jabs.
 Pigeon went to the floor several times in the twentieth round, and Referee Ed Sullivan gave Carr the de cision. The only time Pigeon had a chan to knock out Carr was in [ e t'nth round, when Pigeon struck him the wind; Carr head sht forward, but Pigeon missed With lwo swings. - A preliminary bout between smith and the Lachine Kid was fast and furi- os, lasting only four rounds.

A Mining Man Predicts Good Future for
 That Section.
Considerable Prospecting Is Under Way His Winter. Comparatively Little Asses ssment WOfs Done Last Year---Not More Than $50 Out of 1000 or
 5000 Claims Were Represented.

"Eitler through determination or necessity few men Lave remained in the kougarok district for the winter, and while little is being done to prove or disprove the value of that section from mining standpoint, it would ap- pear that the rehabilitation ol that much abused district so completely despoiled of it fame through last sea sons disastrous experiences, would follow. By rehabilitation l do not mean restoration of the eXtravagaut. almost insane ideas that prevailed during the fall of 1900 and the winter following, but do believe that pros porous camp will arise from the ashes of blasted expectations that now lie so thick and heavy upon public opinion."
 The above opinion was expressed yesterday by David ". King, who is heavily interested in the Kougarok and who arrived from that section last week. It seems to be shared by many of Shose who, like Mr. King, have pushed their invest igatons in deter mined and systematic manner.

With the exception of what is being done on Boulder creek. which under the recent consolidation order now belongs to the Kougarok district, this is all the winter work being prosecuted. but there are many who will begin operations very carly in the spring in fact as soon as winter is broken. That section of the coLntryabove Coarse Gold. taking in the head of the Kougarok and it's tributaries, will witness the greatest activity next season. The main kou- garok river above this point was le- etaked on January by men who claim to have found good pay there last sum- ner, and will undoubtedly be opened up this season.
