FREIGHT FOR INTERIOR
 PILES UP AT TY0NOK
Such Quantities of Miners Supplies Sent in that Part Will Fail to
 Get in this Fall.

Kahiltna, Sept. 21-Correspondence of the Gateway-It is reported here by Mir. Wolsey of the launch Bat that con siderable freight is likely to be left at Tyonok because of his inability to carry it in before the close of navigation on the river. Large quantities of miners supplies are coming in from the out side on the late steamers and the Bat is the only boat on the river now.
 A light frost was visible here the morning of September l5, the first of the season. It has been very dry and pleasant for several weeks and the Yentna is running low.
 A. Wanberg and four other men came up on the last trip of the Bat with years outfit. They imme- diately built a cache and began whip saving lumber for boat to go up the river. They are going above the rapids to work until the freeze-up and will then come back here and wait for the snow, after which they will go up near the mountains.
 Gallagher's roadhouse is now open for business. It is we'll supplied with provisions, and has ample accommoda- tions for man and beast. He has also arranged to have ten tons of miners supplies in stock when navigation closes on the river, which will be about the middle of October.
 Copper ore from Beatson's Latouche mine averages II per cent.

Seattle, Oct. ll-NumerouS heavy mining operators, steamship company representatives, railroad contractors and business men arriving here from Valdez charge leak in the cable serv- ice at that port. They assert that the contents of private messages are known on the street before the mes sages are delivered to the addresses.
 Complaints have been sent direct to Washington and informal complaints have been filed with Col. Glassford, which he says he forwarded to Washington several weeks ago. The men making the complaints say that private information contained in the messages is given to outside parties resulting Tn the destruction of nego- tiations for property sales. Other complaints are made.

BRING $2O,OOO
 IN GOLD DUST
Steamer Dora Carries to Seward First Large Exhibit From
 Kahiltna Creeks.

The steamer Dora brought to Seward about S2O,OOO in gold dust from the creeks of the upper KahiItna. As nearly as can be learned this belongs to three men and is less than half the total production of the group Of creeks which produced something this year. The owners of the dust deny that they brought out SO large am amount but a man on board the Dora saw between Sl9.OOO and $2O,OOO in Purser Spring stun's safe. He was not told 10 whom it belonged but SO far as can be learn ed the only men who has any dust on the Dora were l. II. Hcrndon, C. II. Jacobs and William Morris.
 Doc" Herndon says the three brought out only $ll,OoO and that was their entire production for the season but other men say they exhibited Slh- GOO at Susitna Station and they were known to have several thousand dol lars besides. The yield of the claims worked by Herndon, Jacobs and Mor- ris on Nugget creek is estimated hy comparison of information received from various sources at S2l,OOO Mr. Jacobs told an acquaintance yesterday that they put in only about sixty days of actual productive work.
 NLr. Herndon is very conservative in his statements. He puts the total out put of the district at $25,OOO. As he admits only ll,OOO for Nugget that would leave Sl4,OOO for other Kahiltna creeks. NIr. Herndon deprecateS any attempt to bloom" the district and says he sees little to induce the pros pector to go in there. He says bed rock is shallow and has been struck wherever actual mining work has been done.
 Y. J. Jeter says several miners fig ured the creeks at S35,OOO before he Ieu. ms does not include Laho creek. Other miners who spent the summer in the district stick to the previous estimate of $5O,OOO. Not more than half of this will come to Seward as Frank Churchill is buying large amounts at SuSitna Station.

Earlier Estimates COrrObOrated by Late Arrivals From
 Gold District.
INFORMATION HARD TO REACH
Results of Seasons Work Obtained by Compilation of Reports
 by Reliable Men.

Later report, from ,u. EahlIun creeks confirm the estimate which has been made for several months %. a -oa- sons outpu. O. sjoo0O. Accurate ru- turns are unob,aiua5lo because -. many miner, who took ol. 0.r hu.- drcd dollars each have not com. fare ther than 5usitna station. where th.. have invested their gub,lak. ia nos outfits.
 The amount which all these small poke, total can only be approximate. but all the well-iuformcd miner, from the region who are candid enough To talk say that the aggregate for the producing creeks will not fall .ushorr of S5O.OOO and may have been fully that. Lake creek is estimated at frou $jOOO to %7OOO so that the total of tnr Yenrna district undoubtedly exceed, $50,OOO. Small quantities have been taken out also the Skwcnna creeks.
 George Eberhardt went through 0u the Bertha this week with a fat poke which he declined to exhibit. but ho and his partner, Anderson, are cred tied with several thousand dollar-. Anderson is not coming out. Eber hardt displayed the queer reluctance about talking shown by some othermeu who have done well in the district, but finally admitted that the general e,ti mate of the output is about the real thing. He was one of the first men in the district, having spent the 1905 sea son nr pntars nraaL u'hn"o tho G,,.' discoveries were made, taking oul grubstake then. He worked mostly on Bird creek, a tributary of Peters. this year.
 Another through passenger on thr Bertha was NJ. Schautfen, who had been working the Millar bar claim on Lake creek. He had poke weighed by Harry Ellsworth which contained $500. Other men who came in on the boat say he had about 5000 altogether.
 Several of the men who were the most fortunate in the seasons work have exhibited reluctance in giving information which has aroused crti- cism. 1t is felt by people who live here that the public at large is entitled to accurate information regarding the district and that the best way to obtain truthful statement of the situation k for those whc know most about it to tell what they know.
 The statements which have been published in the Gateway have been secured by a good deal of unnecessary labor, a few facts being picked up from each of many sources. The authority for all of these statements has always been given and as the gem eral results tally closely it is believed by well-informed men in Seward that the published estimates of the yield are very accurate.

Contract Let to Anton Eide to Carry in January, February
 and March.
FIXES LIMIT AT 100 POUNDS
Chief Clerk Flames Finally Secures Service for interior Points
 During Close of Inlet.

Mail will be carried from Seward to l Knik and Tyonok by Anton Eide in . the months of January, February and March, 1907. The weight limit is loo pounds. NIr. Eide will receive SllOO for the three trips.
 An effort was made last year by . Alyah Eamcs, chief clerk of the rail- way mail service for Southern Alaska, to obtain monthly mail service from . Seward to Knik and Tyonok, but it failed because the government would not accept the bids offered.
 This service will give the people of the camps above Cook inlet a mail ser- vice which will be of great advantage to them, limited as it may seem. Here tofore in the winter these people have sometimes been cut off from all com munication with the outside world for several months. Last winter they were a little more fortunate because of the frequent. though irregular travel between Seward and the Yentna dis, trict. ProspectorS carried letters but the letters were often carried a long time before they were delivered.
 The route necessarily travelled by the mail carrier from Seward to Tyonok is by way of Susitna Station. Below the Station the river is danger; ous to cross and the ground on both sides is swampy and treacherous. A request has been made of Mir. Flames that he take up with the postal depart ment the importance of creating a noSt office at SuSitna Station, for the con venience of the miners in the Yentna district. A large number of them will winter on the creeks, or at the Station.
 Before next summer a post office, perhaps several, will have to be estab- lished up in the Yentna district, but during the present winter Susitna Station will be the most convenient place for the miners to get their mall.
 The overland service does not begin until January because many lakes and streams that have to be crossed on ice are not certain to be frozen as early as December 1.

Alfred Lowell SluiCeS SB.D in Eleven Hours ShOyeIing
 by Himself.
CLAIMS JUST ABOVE FALLS
VIII Build Wing Dam and Prepare to Work the Property by
 Systematic Method.

Eleven hours shoyeling by Alfred Lowell on his placer ground on Ton sina creek five miles from Seward, produced Sl923 in gold. AIr. Lowell was simply doing assessment work on two claims which he located on the creek two years ago. He put in sluice boxes and then shoveled a day to see what would happen.
 The claims are short distance above the falls of Tonsina creek, which are a mile and a half from the bay. The creek is very short above the falls. Both ground and creek were partially frozen, the ground about six inches deep.
 Alr. Lowell is so well pleased with the result of his shoyeling experiment that he will go back to the property and work as long as he can. He will put in a wing dam and prepare to work the ground on a larger scale.

PIONEER MINER TO LEAVE
W. C. Girdwood, DiscOverer of Crow
 Creek PIacers, Going Outside.

Girdwood, Oct. 2-Correspondence of the Gateway William C. Girdwood will leave for the states on the Bertha after visit of one month to his Crow creek property. Mir. Girdwood, for whom the new town at mile 75 on the Alaska Central is named, was one of the early prospectors in the Cook in- let country.
 In the spring of 1895 Mr. Girdwocd began prospecting upper Crow creek and soon foresaw the value of the property. Andrew Williamson, Lid burn Arthur, Oliver Skoyen and William Ellis were with Mir. Girdwood when the original locations were made. Since that time MT. Girdwood has spent three years on the claims. He is civil and mining engineer, and has done extensive prospecting in Nome and the Panama. During his absence from Crow creek the property has been in control of his brother, James Girdwood of New York.

RECEIVER GETS
 HEALY COMP ANY
Affairs of KuSkOkwim Venture Badly Tangled and Taken
 Into Court.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Seattle. Oct. S-The Central Alaska Company, organized by Capt. John J. Healy to explore the Kuskokwim and establish trading posts along it's course, went into the hands of a re- ceiver last week. Hugo Beyer was appointed receiver but Healy objected and had Beyer busted. R. A. Wright was then appointed with instructions to close out the company. At last re- port the company had only sixty tons of provisions in the district and it's employees have been hampered by a shortage of food all summer.
 The stockholders charge that Healy spent too much money on himself. It was on the petition of men who put up most of the money that the receiver ship was granted and Healy busted from all control. Today he sued the company for $19,OOO damages. The most valuable asset of the company is the steamer Nunivak, now in the Kus' kokwim river, which will be sold.

Photographs Nugget Gold

'!Doc" Herndon consented before he left town on the Bertha to have sam ples of gold from Nugget gulch photo graphed, and several pictures were taken by Robert Evans. A poke con- taining $36OO was emptied into gold pan and S2OO in nuggets piled on top of the heap for one picture, which looks good to sore eyes. Another photo graph was taken of the gold extract from three of the best pans taken out on the Herndon and Jacobs claims. These contained $53.75, S47.5O and SIS respectively. Each is shown in a separate pan. A large number ot fine nuggets are included in the production of Nugget gulch, the biggest contain ing $2l.
