BORDERING ON
 RESULTS STAGE

Development work on the creeks is now bordering on the result stage and within the next 30 days one will be in position to give rough estimate of what Otter and Flat creeks will pro- duce this summer.
 To date the outlook is most promis- ing. Operators who have been fortu- nate enough to have their machinery first on the ground are more than sat istied with their work, which, after each cleanup, they tackle with renewe ed vim and energy.
 The cleanups to date are good--bet- ter than the property holders antici- pated-and the outlook is satisfactory.
 If the first cleanup on Flat is to be a criterion of the wealth of that creek, it's future as a producer is certainly as sured. For it is said that the ground where Harry Johnson and his ''Gug- genheim" associates made their first cleanup is not chased among the top notchers at the head of Flat.

Oh, " hereISBirCh

One of the cleverest things perpe- trated on the public of the new camp this summer is the advent of the Gold Dust Twins, two astute political mana gers who hit the Iditarod in the inter- ests of Ed $. Orr, Republican candidate for delegate. Col. Ousby and Capt. Gilmour make splendid team, but one must see them in their speciality to really appreciate them. Like the lit e cascaret, they work while you sleep, and it is one continuous performance.
 Given the proper scenario, which may be barroom, a convenient street corner or the middle of the road. the following one-act comedy is pulled off;
 Col. Ousby pulling large, bulky en- velope from his inside pocket): "fes, we can show you why Wickersham IS against the Guggs."
 Capt. Gilmour (excitedly): 'Now where is Birch?'
 Col. Ousby (pulling memoranda from envelope): We have here photo graphic reproductions of letter and a telegram"
 Capt. Gilmour (ecstatically); "Oh, where is Birch?"
 Col. Ousby (waving letter and tele- gram before excited populace): "Now, gentlemen, what dye know about that?"
 Capt. Gilmour Dumping up and down): "Yes, what dye know about that? No interrogation there. Where is Birch? Now. just tell me, where is he?" (Gazes from one to another with compelling glancel.
 Col. Ousby (returning papers to en- velope): "Those are actual photo"
 Capt. Gilmour (imploringly): "Can no one tell me where is Birch?'

WORKING
 ON WILLOW

Willow Creek, July 26.-With plenty water here at present this creek is showing up very well.
 On the Wildcat association, which is the principal producer at present, there are six sets of laymen hoisting and cleaning up every few days, and all feel satisfied with the future of the creek.
 On the upper end of the Wildcat, which is mile long, King Bros. &; Spencer have d G00-foot lay which is paying well. Next below are Drake & Hanson, who are cleaning up regularly with good results. Fournier x Co. are next: they have Al ground and have splendid cleanups. Phillips, Kells, Young X Carpenter with some of the best ground here have uncovered a lot of bedrock and are doing we'll. They are putting quite lot of dust into cir culation.
 McHaskell, Berg, Olson 6 Collins have the adjoining ground and they are hoisting steadily and their clealups are very good and getting better al! the time.
 Gagnon X Loranget tare On the lower end of the Wildcat ground sluicing and will be producing shortly.
 The association claim immediately below the Wildcat on this creek i. practically unprospected, but the left limit benches show | separate pay streak. Haggerty X Co.,, who are working eight men, open cutting their ground, which is only five to six feet deep, and Billy Mockler, who has five men working little lower down or the same kind of ground, have had trouble getting sluice lumber here will be shoveling in within few days They have one of the best and most cheaply worked propositions in the camp. and will take out lot of money this summer.
 A good roadhouse, which was badly needed on this creek, has been opened opened by Henry Howard where al. travellers may be comfortably accom- modated.
 Happy creek, at the head of Willow. has several outfits prospecting, with very good results, and is in line as q winner. PIONEER READER.

SOMETHING ABOUT
 KjjSK0KW|M RIVER

The kuskok is the second largest stream in Alaska and is perhaps the best river for steamboating in that country, with the possible exception of the Yukon. Steamboats of large size can ascend the river about $50 miles to the confluence of its two prin- cipal headwater branches, the East and South forks, and smaller steamboats have been up the South fork about 40 miles above this junction, and no doubt could also ascend the East fork for some distance. Boats with draft of two feet have dscended Takotna river, a large tributary of the kuskokwim Innoko, for a distance of about 60 miles to point within ? miles of Canes creek, whence supplies may be for wardea 90 miles farther up the Takotna to the mouth of Big creek, which is only about l2 miles from Canes creek.
 The Kuskokwim has not been used to any great extent as route for the transportation of supplies, because the country within it's watershed has not
 been prospected or developed, as has the territory within the Yukon basin. Another reason is that Kuskokwim bay and the estuary or tidal portion of the rivers mouth has been considered a hazardous locality in which to navi- gate ocean vessels, but this opinion ap- pears to be due more to the fact that this part of the Alaskan coast is mapped only in rough outline, and is not known in a detailed way, even by the very few who have some personal knowledge of these waters, rather than the presence of any real dangers to navigation other than those caused by lack of acquaintance and proper charts for guidance. When accurute surveys of Kuskokwim bay and the channels that run through it's extensive shoals are properly marked, ocean vessels " llll t Ql dlI Oi 1A leSU iIdg tHlSl dIu ascend it to Bethel with safety and despatch. In fact, even without these aids to navigation, vessels with a greater draft than l2 feet have entered this river and departed from it success fully. The United States fish commits sion steamer Albatross. of 636 tons and a draft Of B feet, ascended the Kus- kokwim about 40 miles in 1880. A few years ago another ocean steamer of good size, the Leelanaw, of l, ,923 tons
 went up the river to the second island in the channel 10 miles below Bethel. This point has since been known as Leelanaw Anchorage. In 1908 the Charles Hanson, of 192 tons and F feet draft, ascended the Kuskokwim with several hundred tons of freight to Bethel. Thus it may be seen that the importance of this river as route of transportation has not been fully real ized, although it enjoys the advantage of being one of the two rivers in Alaska which can be entered by ocean vessels of commercial size. The other is the Nushagak, emptying into Bristol bay.

Otters Busy
 as Beavers

There has been no cleanup on Otter the past week but everything is ready for sluicing on several of the proper ties. and we look hopefully to Andy Hensley and George Riley for first, re- suits this coming week.
 At the mouth of Granite, on the upper end of the Gumboot association, Arnold and partners have started sluic- ing in their winter dumps. They have completed their Hume, which is 7o0 feet long, well constructed.
 Captain Worth, Schuyler, Billy Wise and Captain Woods, who have the lower end of the Otter association, have got their gasolene engine and pump installed and are hoisting and sluicing.
 Abe Audett, on the Green fraction, is getting his big plant in shape, and will be sluicing in few days,
 On Pa. bench Ole Wickstrom and partners are hoisting and sluicing some good dirt.
 Lipsitt's men, on the lower end of that claim, are getting into shape for the winters work.
 Frank Tanike, on the lower end of , above. is still ground sluicing and will be hoisting in d few days. He has bought out one of his partners.
 Bates, Merritt & Mckenzie, on the upper end of l above. have been shut down through the order of the court for a short time.
 Andy Hensley has almost finished scraping and will be hoisting in a few days Great things are expected from Andy's 4OO-foot lay, for it certainly prospected good.
 George Riley will be tearing up the bedrock on his lay in few days and has the best wishes of those who watched his systematic method of min ing.
 Markle and Futile, on the Celenc fraction. are hoisting good money, as are the Bates boys on Discovery bench.

Food for
 the knocker

On Flat creek is registered the first cleanup to which the "Guggs" lay claim on the Wildcat lay. It weighed up in the neighborhood of S7,000, and represented about Sl,200 day or $l00 to the shovel for six days run. It is expected that the remainder of their cut will beat this average. If so, they will take out somewhere about $40, ,O00 out of the little cut they have opened this summer.
 Dave Johnson, above them, will be ready for sluicing within a week. His ground prospected the best OF Flat creek with the exception of the Mari etta.
 Doc Madding is hoisting, and is re- ported as having better money than the ''Guggs."
 Malcolm Mcdonald and T.ockie Me- kinnon, at the mouth of Flat creek are stripping quite d block of ground which they will tear out next spring.
 But little ork is being dcne in the center of Flat creek with the exception of prospecting. However, the laymen on the Bonanza and Lynx associations are opening up their ground in good shape and will be heard from within the next month.

WHAT REGULARS DID
AT CAMP BULLARD

So So near, and yet so far repeated
the officers and men of the Second Bat
talon, Twentieth Infantry, who have
spent from the 18th up to last evening
at the camp of instruction, away from
their post at Fort Shafter.

Builard,' is only about four or FIVE
hundred yards from the parade ground

ment on September 10 to be in readi-
ness for the opening of the camp on
the following morning.
Each morning during the past week
from eight until nine O'Clock. Com
pany E has acted as escort and official
company instructors to the members of
the National Guard of Hawaii camp.
Marching over from the camp. the
Fort Shafter parade has been used as
the ground for instructing the militia
officers IN the art of military science,

ter, and Company Z to illustrate the

and fer the serious way in which
they have taken the instruction.
Uncle Sam is aiding the military
movement here with appropriations TO
assist the national guard, paying the
expenses of the rife team from the
guard to the national rife competitions
at Camp Perry, where the guardsmen
have shown high proficiency in marks
manship, and also in thoroughly equip
ping the national guard with the latest
models of rifles.
Wide Range Covered.
The instruction to the national guard
officers ranged from first aid to the in
iured TO problems of war, from max
ing out acquisitions and reports to put
ting and taking down tents, from
cleaning a rifle to firing it on the range.
Throughout all the instruction Colonel
Billiard has given lectures on various
topics, his latest being "'What an In
fantryman should know about ArtL-
lery.' This lecture gave an insight
into the relations between the infantry
man and artilleryman, when to support
him and when to get out of his way,
in which lecture he stated that the
science of firing and the value of con
slant Smelling SO appealed to the Jap
anese that when they knew the fire
was effective they did not cease even
when they knew they were moving
down their own men. Col Billiard,
however, did not advise the Hawaiian
officers to adopt such a drastic method.
One talk dealt with military deport-

Ltheir connection with the organization.
The work presented was largely of
nature which is new even to the regu-
Jar service and was as thorough as it
was possible to make it. Colonel Bal
lard and his able corps of officers were
interchangeable in their efforts. The
problems presented for solution were
clear and clean cut, stripped of all ex-
ira verblage, and presented and han

the best efforts of the national guard
| officers, who, because of their close at
tention to the instruction given. ran
a day and a half ahead of the pro-
gram Of instruction and were given
extra instruction to fiji out the eight
! days. Such attention and zeal is
| worthy of all commentator, and the
people of this Territory should feel
pleased at the showing of its officers
and highly gratifed that the war de-
partment selected such an able officer
as Colonel Billiard to command the
| camp Of Instruction.

Appreciation by the Guard.
That the officers OF the national guard
have appreciated the value of the in
struction given them is evidenced in q
summary Of the week 5 schooling. by
Col. j. W. Jones, acknowledgement of
the National Guard of Hawaii He says:
"The officers of the national guard
within the last eight days have receiv-
led and assimilated more military
knowledge Of a nature which will be

to be ready for occupancy within three
years. Out on the plains of Leilehua
a cavalry post has been built and occu-
pied by almost a regiment of cavalry.
The head of the army is planning the
combination of all these scattered posts
into one department.
1t is little wonder, then, that the
war department is DESTROYS of putting
the Hawaiian national guard on a foot
ing of equality in the matter of millt-
airy science and knowledge, that the
citizen soldiery may cooperate with the
regulars should their services ever be
rquired for the common purpose of
preserving order or of warding off an
invasion.

Field Service was another topic
which dealt with the officer and soldier
in the field. the relations of officers
with their men, how to deploy and
handle the soldiers. In all the lectures
talks, and details which have been Civ
en- by the instruction officers. the human
interest has been a large factor and III
this way Colonel Billiard has crammed
into the officers memories many mat
ters which would otherwise have gone
to waste. for Colonel Bullard possesses
a personality which inspires confidence,
respect and a desire to learn.
Model of Simplicity.
