Placer gold from which $500 was taken out by four men in five days on rim rock was found late last fall on Gaines creek, an eaSterly tributary of the Innoko river, which flows into the Yukon between that river and the KuskowIm. The gold is coarse and two nuggets carrying over $l0O each were picked up by the discoyererS. The news k already spreading and rush is on from other parts of the kusko- vim region.
 The report was brought to Seward yesterday evening by Arthur Eaton, who mushed out by way of the upper Kuskowim, and over the divide to the Yentna, thence to Knik and from there to mile 70 on the railroad. He came alone with four dogs in sixteen days from Gaines creek and he said he could have made It in less time if he had known the trail.
 Backed by Chicago Capital
 Eaton was sent into the region last fall from Nome with a party of men outlitted by a Chicago capitalist to follow up vague reports of gold dis coveries in the Kuskowim region. He went on the steamer May D from Nome and up the river
 The only important discovery made so far is the original one by party composed of Gaines, Spencer, Mackey and one other. but colors are found in the surface gravel everywhere and quartz indications are visible in all the hills. About POO miners are al- ready in the region and are satisfied that it will be a great district
 When the Gaines party made their discovery they were out of grub and they worked five days with nothing to eat but graylings caught in the creek. Then they mushed to Anyik, on the Yukon, to get winter outfit, which they obtained and returned. Gaines was stricken with scurvy and had to go outside.
 Petition for Post Office
 So confident are the miners that the district is a remarkable one for pros pectors that Eaton brings a petition signed by 200 men asking for the establishment of post office with Eaton as postmaster at a trading station called McGrath on the Kusko- kwim at the mouth of the Tachatna river. This station is 67O miles from the mouth of the river and can be reached by river steamers. It is fifty miles by trail from the Gaines creek strike. In travelling from McGrath to

Want Mail from Seward

Eaton expects the winter mail to be carried from Seward. He says he can mush from McGrath to Knik in five days, since he knows the route. On the trip this time he made several false starts and had to retrace his way. On the Kuskokwim he travelled long distance on glare ice. The weather was mild and after crossing the range to the Yentna side he found a good deal of soft snow and broken ice.
 The most difficult part of the trip was through a box canyon twenty miles long at the upper end of Happy river, the tributary of the Skwentna which leads from the pass in the mountain range. Tn this canyon he travelled part of the way on ice at the edge of the river, but in some places where the walls rose sheer from the stream the ice was broken off and he was obliged to go into the water. He thinks that in winter the ice is proba- bly firm all the way through the canyon.

To Get Large Outfit

Eaton will go to Seattle on one of the next steamers to get a large outfit and may go to Chicago to confer per- sonany with his packer, II. NJ. H.. Bolander, millionaire manufacturer of Chicago, who is largely interested at Nome. He expects to induce Bolander to buy or build a tirst-claSS river steamer for the KuSkokwim. In win ter. he says, the trail to Seward offers by far the best outlet.
 Eaton met fifteen men from Seward bound for the Kuskokwim. He gave two of his dogs to the Newcomb party , as they were too slow for him, al- though the six he started with were the pick of thirty-two. With the re- maining dogs he came through. The four are huSkies and look well in spite of their long, fast mush.
 The strike reported by Eaton is not that reported by Capt. Geiger of the steamer Quickstep, in Nome last win ter. The Quickstep party are much farther down the Kuskokwim. Capt. Healy's steamer Nunivak is at Me- Grath
