Council City, June 2l.-The initial trip for the season 1904 to Council of the gasoline boat Rough Rider was made today. The owners, the Green brothers, expect to make regular runs during the entire season. The low stage of water in the Neukluk may, however. prevent the boat reaching Council. Among the passengers were c. Stanford and wife, Geo. w. Bittner and wife and two sons, Wm. Eastman, M. Steiner, Jack Shaw, all of whom are residents of Council, who have been so- burning on the outfide.
 Last week Andy Oshkosh and John Brewer were prosecuted for trespass on a town lot, the property of the de Soto Company.
 A. II. Miller, formerly one of the proprietors of the Occidental, returned to Council yesterday. He will devote his attention to mining this season.
 As compared with former years, there is noticeable shortage in the number of chechakos arriving. What effect this reduction of numbers will have on the labor supply required for the camp is unknown. At present labor is drug, owing to the lateness of the season.
 B. Lyons, a recent arrival from Solo mon, seems to have undertaken to con sume all the liquor in the camp. The supply was too great, and jim jams" and snakes" were the result. Be- coming delirious and without funds, he was taken up as vagrant and sent to the Wayside hospital for treatment, where, after few days illness, death claimed him as another victim of folly

A. K. Thompson is Koyukuker who is in town, having arrived from St. Mi chael this week. Speaking of the Roy ukuk, MT. Thompson says that country is showing up very well. Some pros pectors have been looking for Duncan and Griggs' Midas creek, but they had not found it. It Is supposed to be a tributary of the Haisslakakakat, a stream which enters the Koyukuk about POO miles from the mouth. Dan Everly, KOyukuk miner, went over there last winter and reported that he had found Duncan and Griggs' camp. but no signs of stalking had been dis covered. "There may be Midas creek, all right" said MT. Thompson, "but no one, so far as I know, has found it." MT. Thompson has been in the Koyukuk country for two years.

A. N. Leopold, pioneer of the Klon- dike and later of Nome, returned We'd nesday after an absence of nearly three years. Mir. Leopold, for the past year, was in the 1anana country, where he mined on Fairbanks creek, using steam plant. He is not favorably inn pressed with that section. He says that there are, as yet, not more than four or five claims in the whole district that will pay from Sl5 to S25 a day to the man. The whole country is low grade proposition. and it must be work ed on an extensive scale to make it pay. A good many people were going up the Panama, but there is nothing for them to do, and most of them will have to leave. Mr. Leopold left Fairbanks on lime To-

Winter Output Greater
 Than Eyer Before.
CLEANUP OF $7o,ooo
The Nugget Correspondent Says the Koyukuk. as He Sees It.
 Will Not Stand a Boom.
Special Correspondence.)

COldfoot, Alaska, June l.-The win ter's output in this district is much more this spring than ever before.
 Less than l75 men wintered in this vicinity and small per cent. of them were taking out dumps. The entire cleanup will amount to about S70, ,OOO. Several of the boys are in town now, having washed up their dumps, and by carefully comparing different estim- ates, l think the following is not far from correct, at least it is not exag- gerated:
 Vermont creek, tributary of Ham, mond, $3O,OOO. The diggings on this creek are about 15 feet deep. There were F men working on the creek Nolan creek, s25,OOO. This pay was found last December by John Nolan and George Murray. On Christmas Eve they banned out S2 cents and since that time the more they open it up the better it looks It is by far the richest they ever struck here. Mir. Murray came in today on his way outside to purchase machinery. He said they took out IA, 200 buckets and would clean up about $lS,OOO or $2O, O,OOO He showed me several fine nuggets which were found in the dumps; one of $3l8, one of S2O7, and third of $lSS, and several were found that run from S7O to $1OO. Messrs. Murray and Nolan have been bucking up against the real thing for several years in Alaska, and we'll de- serve the good luck which has come to them. Gold creeks output is about $7,OOO, and other small creeks $S.OOO.
 Last year the total output of the win. ter diggings was not over S2,5OO, so even without the big Murray X Nolan strike, the gain over last year would be very iattering.
 There will be about POO men working

FROM THE
 --... |NMACHUK Last Winters Operations
 Were Satisfactory. SOME BIG CLEAN.uPS
Candle Creek Also Produced a GOOdIy Amount of Gold
 Dust This Spring.

Theodore Solomous and l.. $. Me- Lennan reached Nome Thursday morn- ing from Candle and the Inmachuk They came overland, a horse packing their supplies and q goodly amount of gold dust. Mr. SOlomons is a merchant of Keewalik and Candle. Mr. McLen- nan is interested in the Polar Bear group on the Inmachuk and has been in that section for year past The Inmachuk's cleanup, he says, will be between SSO,000 and 8l00,0OO Milroy Bros. X Co.,, on the Homestake, will clean up S30, 900 or S35,00O. Hank Fries, on the adjoining claim, has made the best showing. Out of 2700 buckets of dirt he cleaned up Sj4OO, CT an aver age of 2j cents to the pan.
 The Dashley company were pros- pecting most of the winter but they will clean up S7000 or SS000.
 Mr. McLennan says that the strike on the Kugruk is showing up very we'll. On discovery Chas. Smith has a steam thawer with two points and is rocking dirt paying Sl0 to Sl5 B day to the man. Some 800 and GOO feet below Smiths discovery the same kind of pay has been found and it is believed that the Kugruk has a continuous paystreak, the same as the Inmachuk.
 Hank Fries, the Dashleys, Dick Hoog- adorn. the Homestake people and oth- CTS will work on the lnmachuk this summer: Jim Mccormick will mine on Old Glory creek, as will also number of others, on that and other creeks of that section.
 Quite a number of lnmachuk miners are due to arrive in Nome, including Mr. Ray, who is bringing down eight horses belonging to C. l.. Morris.
 Mr. SolomOns says that the Candle creek cleanup will equal, if it does not exceed, that of the Inmachuk, which he thinks will be about Ss0, GOO.

TRIM LITTLE
 VESSELS TRIP

The trim little gasoline steamer Sed- don, Capt. A. $. Crane, reached Nome Friday morning. The Seddon was lowed to Portage bay by the Elihu Thompson, but from that place she made her way unaided to Nome. A good deal of ice was encountered, and the Seddon went to the head of Bristol bay and to Nushagak Capt. Crane says that five ships from Portland were fast in the ice in Bristol; ten ships had arrived at Nushagak. Leaving Nusha- gak she made Nunivak island, and from thence direct to Nome, The Seddon is of 14t tons. She will go into commis- sion between Nome and coast points. The steamer is owned by Josh. R. Mcintyre.

on the various creeks this summer Much of the summer work is on very shallow ground.
 A year ago last fall pay was struck on Mascot, a small stream running into the North Fork; it was very shallow, something on the plan of Candle creek. Last summer the output on Mascot was $l05, ,0OO, but it was mainly worked out, unless something is found on the benches.
 Late last fall a new strike was made 70 miles up Wild creek, on Spring creek and Lake creek. If prospects hold it will go from $25 to $75 to the shovel. Several claims will be operat- ed up there this summer.
 The great drawback here is the pro- vision question. It is not only high, but getting it to the diggings, especial ly the new diggings, is the problem. There are three horses in the district now and doubtless there will be more this spring, as freighter has gone to the Yukon for the purpose of bringing in several head.
 Here at COldfoot grub is rather high, as shown by the following: Flour, $2O per cwt.; bacon, 4Sc per fb; sugar, 2Sc per ib; canned stuff, 75c per can; beans, 23c per flo; Eagle milk, $23.OO per case.
 From Bettles, the head of steamboat navigation to COldfoot, 70 miles, freight is eight cents pound. There is no company store here.
 There is every indication of dry season.
 The river broke at Bettles on May 12th.

 Early Sunday morning scow load oi fresh provisions from the Corwin arriv- ed in Council. Soon people were seen assembling around the landing and pur- chasing eggs, lemons, potatoes, etc, as rapidly as the owner could attend the trade. A little later. on complaint of local merchants, the authorities noti- fled the dealer that he was amenable to the law on two counts-selling on Sun- day and selling without license. As license could not issue on that day, and the dealer did not care to face d charge of violating the Sunday law, the goods were withdrawn from sale.
 Alex de Soto and A. V. Dedrick. of the de Soto Mining Co.,, and Attorney N. II. Castle made a nasty trip down the river on Saturday night. The po- session of the steamer Dusty Diamond is trump card, which the de Soto Co. and the North Alaska Transportation Co. are each striving to acquire and hold.
 Jack Steward, the Fox river miner, on his way to Council, yesterday, dis covered the body of man in slough of Bear creek, about four miles from Council. Deputy Marshal Chas. Rams dale procured a team and brought the corpse to camp, but as yet, no identif- cation has been made. No papers of any kind were found in the pockets of the clothing. A small purse containing S45 was found.
 Hugo Beyer, former agent of the N. A. T. & T. Co. at Council arrived from Chinik today. He will be in charge of E. R. Dunn's mining operations on Ophir this season.
