Finds Gold on
 Snow Creek

 Fritz Hoffman was in the city from the Troublesome country where he has been prospecting for the past four months and reports that district as looking very good to him.
 Fritz has made a discovery on anew stream which he has named Snow creek and which he expects will turn out some very good pay. He has sunk one hole to the gravel and got four cents in one pan, but the water drove him out, He is now sinking four other holes near the first one and thinks he will have no difficulty in reaching bed rock. The valley is only about 100 feet wide and less than two miles long and Fritz intends to prospect it thoroughly before leaving it. E.
 Snow creek is just across low di- vide from Little Bear, which creek car res gold but not in paying quantities. and Fritz is sure the pay is all in Snow. He expects to return shortly and re- sume his work which he will continue until spring if the results justify.

BIoWbaCk is
 Questionable

The stampede which resulted from the reported find of two nuggets on Blowback creek has run it's course and many claims were staked and recorded.
 Despite the fact that the public gen. erally are very skeptical of the genu- ineness of the discovery, there are sev- eral parties who have faith in the dis covery and have placed boilers. on the creek.
 The big majority of the stakers are again in the city and can be found at most any time at their old familiar haunts where they are nightly sur rounding the stoves busily engaged in sinking holes and telling where one is sure Co find the paystreak if a hole were sunk, but all are too tired to sink q real shaft merely to find raystreak
 Thomas Elingson, the finder of the two famous nuggets, says he doesn't care rap whether his story is cred ited or not, but that he found the gold there and is satisfied in his own mind as to the future of the creek, which he says, will surprise some of the req ''wiSe" ones. .'>.-~- ' ~- a,ss ,.-.e-
