Quartz Near Haines.

A quartz strike made by prospectors engaged by Lieut.. Walter $. Brown, of the Tenth Infantry, is causing stir at Haines.
 According to the Skagway Alaskan, Lieutenant Browns father is a big stock holder i'll the United States Steel Cor poration. He instructed his son to keep his eyes open for iron properties. This injunction is what led to the discovery. Ore taken from Mount Ripinski was as- sayed for iron values and found to go Sl4 ton in gold. The assayer advised that claim owners disregard the iron and treat the ore for gold. Stalking was renewed with interest, and most of the army officers at Fort William H. Seward and many of the citizens of Haines have secured claims. Lieutenant Brown, how ever, Is the heaviest claim owner He secured many from private soldiers at from $50 to $50 claim. He is shipping ore south for the purpose of securing mill test and intends to install 10-stamp mill at once.

Lower Cleary.

"The mining men on the lower part of Cleary creek, ," said C. P Keesling to the Fairbanks News, ''are of two minds about whether pay will be found along the flats It is found in stringers for a mile wide along our part of the creek [ h below ], but whether it comes to- gether again lower down is a mooted question. Some of the miners are work ing on the theory that it does, and that it swings along the left limit of the Chatanika river and follows along the bank, coming together, perhaps, just before it reaches what is known as the bluff. Prospectors are scattered out pretty we'll over the flats and for con- siderable distance down the Chatanika river, so that 1t should not bc very long until we know what becomes of the pay found along Cleary creek"

Beaver River Country.

Panama Teller (Cleary City) Josh Ray, the well-known prospeetor, re- turned few days ago from an extended trip through the Beaver River country
 He made the journey all by himself, taking pack of almost 100 pounds up to the Faith, Hope and Charity district and from there striking across into the Beaver basin. There are but few people in that section. Sam McDill, Charley Whitcomb and Charley Armond and his partner are now prospecting on Monu- mental creek, where Josh located dis covery claim. The gravel comes clean up to the top, and being thawed makes thorough prospecting almost impossible on account of water. Mir. Ray killed a couple of wolves on his trip which at tempted to attack him. The four men now on Monumental will crosscut the creek as soon as cold weather sets in

TenderfOOt.

Fairbanks News, Aug. l5: Frank H. Hall has returned from trip to the Tenderfoot district, and reports new strike on the right limit of the river op- posite to little Delta station. 'It is on a new creek" said Mr. Hall. ''I do not believe it has even been named. A strike was made, however, by the part her of Ed Rodgers, and there are twenty men working on the creek at the present time. l heard that they had found first any of the particulars. This creek is some little distance below the mouth of Tenderfoot creek, on the same side of the Panama. It Is not such an eXten- sive creek, l was told, as is Tenderfoot creek, but the men working there are confident that they will soon have an- other important producer added to the Tenderfoot district One can not help being impressed, after visiting the Ten Gerfoot country, with the fact that it will be large producer next season. Considerable golddust has been taken from there already this season, but it is only recently that the operators have developed the paystreak any distance, and there still remains a great deal of prospecting to be done"

CHANDLAR
A New Recording District Cut from That of Circle City...WiII a New Field Be Opened on the Arctic?

Judge Wickersham issued an order Aug. 15 dividing the Circle City mining and recording district and creating out of the northern part of the same the Chandlar mining and recording district Samuel J. Marsh was named as commits sioner, with the usual powers apper- taining to that office in Alaska. The appointee is required to take oath of office and to furnish bond in the sum of $1,OOO. He is further required to desg- nate the place where he will hold his office and to give public notice thereof
 The newly created district is bounded and described as follows:
 All that portion of the present Circle City precinct, beginning at that point tween Canada and Alaska where the Porcupine river crosses the same; thence down the main stream of the Porcupine river to the Yukon river; thence down the Yukon river to the mouth of the Chandlar; thence northward along the western watershed of the Chandlar river to the divide separating the waters of the Arctic ocean from those flowing into the Yukon river; thence westward along said divide to the headwaters of the Canning and Savaovik rivers; thence northerly along the western watershed of the Savoavik river to Anxiety Point on the Arctic ocean; thence easterly, including all the islands to the north ward, to the Hist meridian, and thence south on the Ills meridian to the point of beginning.

Who Marsh Is.

The Samuel J. Marsh named as com missioner of the new district was in the Dawson country five or six years ago He has spent considerable time on the Arctic slope west of the international boundary line and is said to have book now in the hands of the publishers treat ing of that little-knowu country. Jim Dudley, an old prospector Snd miner who came down from the vicinity of Rampant House this summer, said that Marsh had also written hundreds ot letters to people in the east, and it was Qualcy's opinion that a stampede to the Arctic slope was being matched.

the divide. There is no developed dig gings in any part of the district. Under these circumstances it is matter of interesting conjecture where the official headquarters will be established.
 Mir. Marsh is reputed to be a student and geologist of considerable reputa- tion. All prospeetors who have investi- gated the country on the Arctic side of the divide believe the formation is ia vorable for gold It may be that these circumstances point Co the opening of a new solddeld still further north than any yet worked in the northern extrem- ity 0i the continent.

KantiShna.

The Fairbanks News reports the at- rival tn that place Aug. F of Joe Dal- ton, Jim Dalton and Joe Stiles, with Ss6,0OO in dust produced on Eureka creek during the past season. Eureka is a tributary of Moose creek in the Kantishna district. Despite the black eye the district has received on every hand, the large sum taken out by these men shows there Is still some property there worth handling. \ number of men will remain and prospect in the country and hope to find out by next spring whether or not their holdings will justify working on large scale.

Ridges Around Glen.

Kelsey & Co.,, of Goldstream, Fair banks district, have put two men to work on the divide of Glen gulch and q tributary of Engineer. The men figure that the source of the Glen gold is the benches. Should bench diggings be struck, says the Fairbanks Times, it will stimulate the work of prospecting these ridges and perhaps the Klondikemay be rivaled in the riches obtained
