YENTNA DISTRICT
 HAS THE GOLD
Six Miners on Poor Mans Creek Cut Up 2O4 Ounces for Few
 Weeks Work.

Six miners on Poor Mans creek re- gently cut up 2O4 ounces of gold dust as the result of few weeks of irregular work, in which so much dead work was done that it was impossible to tell how much time was devoted to actual taking out of metal One of these men, Carl Larson, came to Seward Saturday evening with his share of the dust-34 ounces. He quit work and came out for the sole reason that his boots were cut to pieces and he could not work bare footed. As he had to come out to the Inlet he came on to Seward, but will return in few days.
 Although mining by the crudeSt methods the men on Poor Mans creek take out several ounces each whenever they get in a full day and their dig gingS are showing better all the time. Larson is reticent about talking but to an acquaintance in Seward he admitted that he and his partners have bo- nanZa.
 Judge Hildreth has a letter from Y. J. Jeter, who writes that he is taking out an ounce a day on Thunder creek, on claim upon which he has just be- gun operations.
 "The Yentna district is no longer an experiment, said II. H. Hicks, one of the best known mining men in the Cook inlet region, who came in last week. Every experienced mining man who has spent several months there is satisfied that it is a permanent district and a rich one. It is likely to be another Panama. Gold colors are found everywhere at the surface and on every creek where much work has been done wages or better are taken out"
 Mir. Hicks believes that the Skwent- na ariver and its tributaries will show up as well as any part of the district. ProSpectOrS have just begun to go Tn there but the first experiments with the ground look good.
 Mir. Hicks located several copper claims back of Iliamna this summer, which he has great faith in. He thinks the Tiamna copper deposits are of vast extent and great value.

TO CONSTRUCT
 NEW RESERVOIR
Seward Water and Power Com. pany Begins Work To Obtain
 Better Supply.

Work on a new reservoir for Seward began Monday by the Seward Water X Power Company. The water is to be taken from the spring that comes down the hill on the Brownell home stead back of the ice house. From this large supply of the purest water can be obtained the year around. The new reservoir will be l5X24 feet and 10 feet deep. It will be much larger than the present reservoir up Lowell creek.
 The water company began hauling lumber today and digging will be prosecuted rapidly. The Lowell creek reservoir has proved inadequate in dry times and the pressure falls so low when the wate" supply is light that it would be wholly useless in fire fight ing. In the early spring floods, it was discovered this year, the water carries sediment. For these reasons the new reservoir will be constructed, and coming from a never-failing spring ample quantity for much larger town than Seward, and of the best quality, is insured.
