LOOKS GOOD
Nesutlin Strike Is Worth
 Further Prospecting

The result of the summers prospect ing ou Iron, Marble and Sidney creeks in the Nesutlin river country has been to demonstrate that there is gold in the country. Those who have teen work ing their have found enough, they be- lieve, to justify them in prosecuting their investigations further. That is the word brought out by Hiram Vroo- man, manager of the Hootalinqua Dredging Company, who left for the south last night after spending several days in Skagway.
 Iu speaking of the country, Mir. Nroo- man said:
 "The prospects on Iron, Marble and sidney creeks are good. Good colors can be secured any place on any of the creeks. They were only discovered early in the present season and no one had time to more than prospect them. Bedrock was,reached. .in no place. How ever our company worked for 300 feet up and down Iron creek and got II feet deep. We are satisfied that the creek will pay well. We will put machinery in there next year, and so will several others, among them Joe Blick and his assoc ates. About 70 claims have been located on Iron creek. Iron creek flows into Sidney about 70 miles above the point that creek empties into the Nesutlin river.
 Marble creek, which flows into Sid ney about five miles above the mouth of Iron, had not been prospected much until late in the season. Since l left it is sad that one of those who have claims on both Iron anl Marble went over to the latter creek and washed out an ounce of gold with pan in three or four hours, About dozen claims had been located on this creek,
 "The gold on Sidney creek is very fine, though there is apparently plenty of it. It is not difficult to get 50 colors to the pan at any place on the creek. This creek is favorable for dredging operations.
 Sidney creek empties into the Ne sutliu river 65 miles above the point where the latter empties into Teslin laSe. The little steamer Quick went up the Nesutlin river to the mouth of Sidney creek on each trip this year, and one trip it aScended the creeks for five miles. It was prevented from going higher by the sharp curves. There was no lack of water.
 "I am confident the Nesutlin river and Teslin lake country will develop into good producer, In fact, I am satisfied tha. a good strike has already been made on Sidney creek and its trib- taries, Iron and Marble"
 Mir. Vrooman says the Hootalinqua Dredging Company has done but little work this year on the Hootsliuqua. It has been prevented by the develop ments in the Nesutlin country and it's desire to establish itself there. Next year it vii work on both the Nesutlin and the Hootalinqus
