Baylor Shannon, who left Clifton
several weeks ago. on a prospecting
trip into the mining regions of
Alaska, returned home Saturday
evening. Bay reports a delightful
trip and gained about fifteen pounds.
The shipment of ore sacks which he
expected to bring back filled with
gold were lost in Copper river on the
return trip and he is greatly worried
over his heavy loss. He went up the
Copper river and explored a great
amount of country. 1t is difficult
country to prospect for lack of
transportation facilities. Bay is
convinced that Alaska is good min
ing country, but is of the opinion
that it will require much time and
money to develop it. There are now
several large companies making
preparations to enter the country
and when they get into working order
there will probably be something do
ing. On account of the cold weather
the working season is short which is
one serious drawback to the country.
He returned home well satisfied with
Clifton and will stay here a while
longer.
