Free Milling Quality Not Holding
 Out in Chandlar Ore.

It is said on good authority that the free milling quality of the ore being treated in test mill by Capt. Haines's company in the Chandlar changed with little depth and the mill became useless so far that partic- ular ore is concerned. The mill was put to work on ore from another property, but it seems to be believed that that working will also run into base ore soon.

He re- piled that in such a contingency develop ment will undoubtedly be retarded because other methods will have to be provided for treating the ore: but it will be evidence that the region will receive a lasting set ha

TWO NEW GOLD STRIKES
One On the Old Teslin Trail and One
 On Kenai Peninsula.

About the first of May report got out of placer strike in British Columbia which may prove of considerable importance. discrepancy exists as to the exact location, and there may really be two strikes. The first reports had it that the strike was on the headwaters of Taku river. Later re- ports, however, definitely locate the find at point on the Nahlin river, 25 miles below the Nahlin telegraph station. The telegraph stotion is 90 miles north of Telegraph Creek on the Stikine river, and the feasible way to go in would be to go to Telegraph Creek and thence over the old Ashcroft-Teslin trail.
 report comes from Seward that placer ground has been discovered on Kenai Pe- ninsula, causing excitement among mining men, and big stampede is looked for.

MAIL FROM
 K0SEREFSKY
TWice.a-Month Service Is Arran3ed
 for the lditar0d.

The Northern Commercial Company has Iditarod this summer. The service is to be twice month and as much oftener as North ern Navigation boats run, and is to be from Koserefsky, at the mouth of the Innoio river. There is no limit to the amount to be carried.
 It is possible that changes may be made by the postoffice department during the summer, but the foregoing statement in- cludes all the information now to be had When it becomes known where the main town of the new district will be located a better understanding of the situation can be had by the department, as we'll as by the people nearer by. It is understood that a postoffice will be established at the new town as quickly as developments will permit. It has been said that the census enumera- tion showed a population ill the Iditarod region of nearly POGO last winter. That in- formation might be open to the department, and yet it would be difficult matter for it to digest the fact that city of perhaps be- tween 5,0C0 and 10000 may be established and equipped with the essential appurtenances of civilized life within six or eight weeks after the orening of Yukon river naviga- tion.
 A mail will go up the Kuskolxwim to Bethel once a month, but it cannot be said with authority whether the men on KuskokWim tributaries across from the Iditarod and the Innoko will be served from Bethel or from the Iditarod center.

From Beaver River.

M. L. Stevenson and Otto Bergman, who trapped on the headwaters of Beaver river, brought in handsome collection of miscel- laneo,ls furs last week. The catch was sold to the Panama Commercial Company for S6OO Among the lot were 30O muskrat skins, which were Jumped at $15O. The trappers were not posted on the prevailing high prices of muskrat, or they would have caught many more. They only skinned the rats they cooked for dog feed.

MEN
Three of Them to Spend Summer
 at Government Expense.

Three men started up to Fail banks last Friday night, there to await the action of the next grand jury on charges of furnish ing Indians with whisky.
 One of them was Charles Kerr, who has been in jail at Tanana since March 5. The others were Charles Yost and James Syttz, who came down from Eagle in company with Deputy Marshal Donovan. Syttz could not properly be said to be in custody of the deputy marshal: being out on bond, he had designed to release his sureties so that he would be transported at government ex- pense, but, the commissioner being absent from Eagle, the necessary formalities could not be gone through with his plans mis- carried, and he and his bondsmen were still responsible for his safe arrival at destina- tion.
 As no grand jury is likely to be called this summer, the men probably have long term in jail ahead of them.

GOOD BUSINESS IN FUR
Fort Yukon Traders Had the Best
 Season in Several Years.

T. A. Horton, of Horton & Moore, traders at Fort Yukon, who came to Panama on the steamer St. Michael reports that more furs were brought into Fort Yukon the season just closed than i'll any season the past four years. His house secured about S12,C0O worth. The advanced price for muskrats made it worth while to trap them, and about 10000 pelts were brought in. The bal ance of the catch consisted mainly of lynx, marten and mink. Horton X Moore dis posed of their collection to a buyer for a San Francisco house.

It is said Smiling Albert'' Linn, who left Panama for the Kuskokwim country a year ago, got lot of good-looking ground on Fonrth of July, Moore and other ush ho1wim tributaries. Before the snow melted he came over to the Iditarod side, but it is not known whether or not he got onto anything there.

Martin Peterson, wife and child, bound for the Iditarod from Fairbanks on a sidewheel gasoline boat, were hung up at Panama May 27 on account of an attachment for debt by the Northern Commercial Company. The case was set for hearing yesterday, June 1, but on account of the absence of the com missioner from Panama the hearing of the case has been postponed to a more auspici- ous occasion.

THE BIG
 STAMPEDE.
Passing Steamboats Have
 Many for 1ditarod.

The Panama took on board General Manager Fairbanks and Auditor How cial Company, who had come down on the St. Michael from Dawson. Other \. c. men who went on the Panama were Volney Richmond, manager at Fairbanks, and Tom McGowan, attor- ney. A semi-official report had already gone out that the government will con- centrate the court officials, including the commissioner and deputy marshals, at common center, away from which no saloons and places of vice will be permitted to operate; and a great deal of importance was attached to the com pany men because it was believed in choosing their business headquarters they would determine the location of the federal officials and the restricted lines of trade above alluded to, and con- sequently the metropolis for the region. The idea was that whoever could get "next" would get in on the town lots proposition of great possibilities when it is remembered that applications for at least sixty liquor licenses had been made. A great many people aboard were suspected of having a life line out. Bill McPhee, Bonnet James, Frank Berry, Romeo Hoyt, Frank Miller, Tom Markeson, Jack Sale, E. D. Becker and Henry Roden were some of the best known men aboard from the Fairbanks country. There were a good many wo- men on hand, among them Flossie D'Atley, she of the innocent look who is credited with being able and willing to coax the chloride of gold from the pores of Keeley patient; Edith Neal, who is known to the members of her set as The Oregon Mare; and the matri- monial specialist The Sweet Pea Girl. several professional ''ladies' secretaries' were along. Former Commissioner Bevington, Frank Stevens, Jim Frazier, George Shirley and Billy Graham got on at Hot Springs. Frank Cioli went from Panama.
 The Delta, the Tana, the Dusty Dia- mond and the Evelyn all had capacity loads of passengers and freight.
 Capt. Wallce Langley, Purser Sond- helm and Mate Ralston came in from the outside on the St. Michael and joined their boat, the Tana, at Panama.
 Some of the Fairbanks passengers mo- ticed on boats other taan the Panama were: Roy Maddocks, Roy Nye, Fred s. McFarline, Eddy Suter, E. w. Griffin :; Carl Thiel, who was in in the winter and is returning to open book and stationery store; Mrs. V. Myers, for merly of Rampant, who has grubstaked men in the Iditarod, as we'll as numer- ous other places; M. F. spier, repre- senting the Standard Oil Company; Ed. Kelly, former chief of police, and his sister Bessie; former Court Bailiff Bar ton, Dr. Spaulding, MT. and Mrs. H. H.. Mcdonald; McGovern, who came out of the Koyukuk last winter and will re- turn there after going to the Iditarod, and some hundreds of others.

TWO OLD-TIMERS DEAD
James B. Wingate and John Scrib-
 ner, Formerly of Rampant.

James B. Wingate, pioneer resident of Rampant, died recently in San Francisco, as a result of surgical operation for tubercu- losis of the bone. Mir. Wingate was first op- erated on at Fort Gibbon in 1906. He was for long time editor of the Alaska Forum at Rampant. He went to San Francisco in 1906 and engaged in the drug business.
 John Scribner, formerly of the mining firm of Henderson & Scribner at Rampant, also died recently in California. MT. Scrib- ner was moderately successful in his mining operations, but went outside about four years ago on account of failing health.
 News of their death is contained in a letter from Mrs. Charles Fehring, of Eureka, Hot Springs district, to her mother, Mrs. A. A. Swanson, at Panama.

CAuRk DRILLS WORK PROGRESSING Good Ore Developed in Mum Der of Holes on Bos-
 ton Miami

The work of prospecting the group of fortytwo claims held under option by the Boston Miami Copper company, and located in the Miami mining dis trict, south of the Live Oak and Key stone properties, is being continued with the aid of one churn drill. So far, twelve holes have been put down to an average depth of $50 feet and work on the thirteenth hole is just being commenced.
 Concerning the results of the drill work, the management makes no def- pite statement, and the supposition is that while in number of holes ore of good grade has been struck, yet, so far as can be ascertained, no extensive ore body of commercial grade has been en. countered. One hole was drilled to a depth of over 700 feet and was bot. toned in granite -porphyry, thus throw. ing some light on the general forma. tion of that part of the district. The favorable outcome of developments in that locality would be noteworthy event from mining standpoint, as many conflicting opinions have been expressed concerning the location of the northern boundary of ore in Miami district.

FINAL PAYMENT 0N THE LOST GULCH
 PROPERTY Gold Ore Running High in
 Values Being Taken EN Out of Mines

Last Wednesday the last payment was made on the property of the Lost Gulch United Mines. The total pur. chase price was $75,000 and the liquida- tion of this amount in full will leave the management free to go forward with exploratory operations much more rapidly than has been the case in the past.
 President J. T. Harrington, who spent a few days in Globe during the past week says that the development of the property now under way is being at tended by decidedly favorable results.
 On the Kellner lode on which drift is being driven at a depth of fifty feet, the daily samples taken and assayed show that the gold content for the past ten days has amounted to $40 to the ton and that for the ten days preceding this series of assays the material in the drift ran $27.50 to the ton. So far the drift which is an extension eastward from the Kellner shaft of tunnel the portal of which is located a few hun. dred feet from the stamp-mill has been driven 150 feet and is apparently open. ing better gold bearing ground every day. The last seventy-fve feet of vein matter has been especially high grade and the thirty feet of vein drifted on previously showed the assay values mentioned above as being $275O to the ton.
 The management has a force of men at work now beginning to resume sink ing of the Badger shaft from its pres ent depth of 130 feet to depth of 23C feet Recently considerable flow of water encountered there has ncessitated pumping facilities. The flow of water however, is a very welcome develop ment as it is needed to supply the stamp mill.
 On the hillside above the Kellnel shaft which is only about 400 feet from the mill tunnel is being driven to tap the Bonanza lode which from all indi cations is one of the best leads on the property. This tunnel has already been driven 900 feet and with 200 feet more of driving should reach the vein.

Underground Work Now Being Prosecuted on
 Tunnel Level
SINKING NEW SHAFT
 ON COLORADO CLAIM
To Build Experimental Mill Near Joe Bush Shaft for
 Making Tests

At the Inspiration mine, the large ore
 body already developed is rapidly be, ing prepared for the beginning of pro
 duction and exploratory work is being continued by means of drifts and churn
 drilling. ai.
 At present, the greater part of the
 underground work is being done On the tunnel level, which is i27 feet above the fourth level of the Joe Bush shaft. Twelve drifts are now being driven on the two levels mentioned and all of the or better in copper. One of these drifts is being driven northwestward toward the Scorpion shaft and has already at tained length of 800 feet. This drirt will eventually connect with the one now being driven southwestward an the 275-foot level of the Scorpion, thus mak. ing connection between the workings of the Scorpion and the Joe Bush shafts, both of which are located on the ore zone, about 2400 feet apart. The drift from the Scorpion shaft has been driven about 600 feet, so that with about 1900 feet more of drifting connection will be effected. The fourth level has been connected with the tunnel level by two raises. The so-called tunnel level is es. tablished at the depth at which the ex. traction adit will intersect with the Joe Bush shaft. This adit, the portal of which is in the Keystone Gulch, 2,500 feet south of the Joe Bush shaft, has been driven for distance of 600 feet,

CACTUS DEVELOPING
 SIX FACES
Drift Toward Pinto Prop. erty Showing Indica-
 tions of Sulphide

At present six faces of the Cactus mine are being worked, and all of them are in ore of average grade or better. Among the drifts in which a good grade of ore is being encountered is the one mentioned as being driven toward the Pinto shaft on the 400 foot level, thus indicating an extension of sulphide of copper ore into the Pinto property.
 It is a well known fact, of course, that the Pinto shaft, at depth of 530 feet, encountered copper carbon ate ore assaying fifteen per cent cop per, and that the bottom of the shaft, at its present depth of 54l feet, is in ore of the same character. The connec- tion to be made on the fourth level of the Hamilton shaft will intersect the Pinto shaft at the bottom, and it seems evident, from the dip of the chalcocite ore body, that few feet below the car bonate zone struck in the Pinto, sul- phide ore win be encountered.
 On the sub-level, fifty feet above the third, where drift has been driven north from the raise put up from the third level 200 feet north from the Hamilton shaft and little west from it, the vein in which the rich ma3achite ore was found some time ago is being explore dwith gratifying results. The drifts driven eastward from the Ham, ilton shaft on the third and fourth lev els are continuing to develop ore, much of which assays four per cent copper, that on the fourth level being of es- pecially high grade. The management of the mine is still awaiting the arrival of the tools required for the churn drill which is to be used in prospecting to de- termine the boundaries of the mineral ized schist area of the Cactus proper ty.
 c. w. Pritchett, consulting engineer for the Cactus, is expected to arrive in Globe this week and during his stay here will diubtless outline further the company's plan for development. w. H. Hamilton is in charge of operations at the mine.

and with the aid of three.inch machine drills, about eighty feet of driving is accomplished there each week. The to- tai advance made during last month in this tunnel is 319 feet.
 The management of the Inspiration Copper company has just put force of men at work sinking new prospect shaft on the Colorado claim, 2,500 feet west of the Joe Bush shaft and 400 feet east of the Taylor tunnel This shaft will have two compartments and, like the Joe Bush, will be used to fur. ther the blocking out of the ore. The main working shaft, which will be used in the extraction of ore when produc- tion is begun, will be located at some distance iutside the ore body to insure having firm ground, and thus avoid any danger from caving. The location of this shaft, however, has not been def nitely determined.
 Plans for the experimental mill, which will be erected near the Joe Bush shaft for the purpose of making ore tests are now being perfected by the company's engineers. A great deal of material is being torn out of the old mill, built on the western part of the property by former owners, and will be used in building the test mill on the other end of the property. A number of possible concentrator locations have been considered by the management of the Inspiration company, but thus far a mill site has not been decided upon.
 Manager T. R. Drummond of the h. spiration Copper company has force of about l65 men in his employ.

ARIZONA MICHIGAN IN GOOD LEAD Telfair Shaft Crosscut in Shale at Distance of
 846 Feet

The Arizona Michigan Mining com pany is getting comparatively good re- suits from the development work un- der way at the Telfair and Blackbird shafts on the property located about four and one-half miles east of Globe
 The Backbird shaft has been sunk to depth of, ,24O feet and for several days during the past week passed through ground containing much iron and some copper. The copper occur renee there was in the form of carbo- nate. On the 200-foot level of this shaft, recently established, thirty-fve feet of crosscutting has been done. The footwall of the vein is limestone and the hangingwall is quartz shale. At that depth, the vein is about four feet wide, but below the 200-foot mark it's width increases.
 On the l00-foot level also about twen- ty.four feet of crosscutting has been done up to date and the ledge at that depth presents highly mineralized ap- pearance.
 At the Telfair shaft, the crosscut be- ing driven south from the shaft on the 50O-f foot level is S46 feet long and is being continued in shale showing lit tie iron stain occasionally. This cross cut is expected to open the Old Domin- ion fault. As this fault, from all indi- cations, is almost vertical, from 200 to 250 feet of driving will probably be necessary to break into the vein.
 Superintendent N. A. Nelson, who is in charge of operations at the Arizona Michigan property, is employing about twenty men.
