They lost three more before they reached the head of Long creek, where they arrived with three, one of which was in such shape that they left him. From Ruby Dalby returned with 300 pounds of feed only to find that the horse had died. Both Dalby and Robertson say that had they started few weeks earlier the trip would have been ideal. The travelling was good, the shortage of feed being the only drawback Just before leaving Iditarod Dalby bought ticket in a raftie for $500 opera cloak, and upon arrival at Ruby learned that he had won it.

Mining Outlook

Mining Outlook
 Editorially the Record says: "We believe the gold is here, and the de- termined effort that will be put forth this winter will uncover and develop the same, and that when spring comes we will wake up the world with the news of what has been found"
 Bob Martin is quoted as more conf dent of the camps future as his devel- opment work progresses: Flint creek and Glen gulch, he says, are the places to watch. He considers that Birch creek is very likely to prove good producer. At discovery, Long, the scene of the first strike, Mr. Martin says pans ranging from } to 10 cents in five feet of gravel have been taken from the shaft A. Webster on I below Long uncovered eight feet of gravel carrying pay, but owing to depth of ground had to abandon work until cold weather sets in. Shea's workings on , above Flint are spoken of as being very promising. Taking it all in all, Mr. Martin says, it cannot be said B puystreall has been found, but what has been found gives every promise of great development when the weather reaches the stage where continuous work can be done.
 C. W. Bechtol expressed to the Citi- zen his unqualified belief that Ruby is on the eve of developing into one of the richest gold camps in Alaska. He believes the pay will be found in the benches, as it has been in all the camps where the valleys are wide like they are in Ruby district, and points out that so far prospecting has been principally in the creek beds and no drifting has been done.

Around the Crooks

Rumors of rich strikes on Flint, Long and Glen creeks could not be verified by the Citizen.
 On discovery, Long, N. P. Johnson X Co. are constructing a 9O0- foot ditch for their works next summer. Polky and Stubby have commenced a shaft on the Sllatna association, above dscov- cry, Long. On 3 below, Long, Valley Labcski and Lew Stroup are getting out logs for d cabin. Henry Stroup, from the Iditarod, is in Ruby; he will take out supplies and join Lew and Valley and then they will make the dirt fly. Boston bench on Long, owned by Sinclair brothers, is being operated. They sunk one hole to bedrock without results; they moved 300 feet nearer the creek and are getting prospects, though net down. Mike Mccall and C. U.?) Jordan are sinking hole on the right limit adjoining 8 below; but have run out of grub at 20 feet and will have to wait till they can replenish their stock.
 On Flint creek Bill Alyord is sinking his third hole and has good prospects.
 John Austin, at the head of Glen, has sunk two holes to bedrock, found good prospects and will crosscut when weather permits.
 Bob Martin, Webster & Co.,, Dr. Holmes, C. F. Jones, Herman Wilke, Cap Williams and Jim Larsen are all working on Flint and tributaries.
 Alex Macumber, Bechtol, Louis Trablet and Armand Charpie are pros pecting along Birch creek.
 A. V. Thorns is sinking a hole on Eldorado creek.
 Niehof & Co. are building a two story roadhouse and barn at the head of Long creek, on Fox gulch slope.
