WARREN & DURRElL, Christmas Association.

With a shaft down to bedrock IT feet and crosscut 137 feet long. these laymen are in fair pay and have large piece of ground which will probably go S125 to the foot or better. MT Warren says there can be no doubt but that the pay is much wider than he has thus far pushed his cross-cut. He does not think il will be quite as high grade ground as the Niggerhead. Because there is only sufficient wood for summers prospect, the laymen do not expect 10 open up until next year The road down from Olnes goes through a bog of such tenacity that it does not permit of hauling Consequently the operators are some what handicapped About six men will have employment on the prop erty this year Towards fall wa ter may be used to sluice out deyel- opment dirt.
 As was promised in the last issue f the Citizen, a continuation of the spring development news in all min ing operations on the creeks is con tained in the following columns:

NIGGERHEAD ASSOCIATION.

On the uppermost of the three claims on this group now being worked MT. Fisher is opening up for his last seasons work on the ground. With thirty men al work he is pre- pairing to strip 90.00O feet of bed rock. MT Fisher would have work 90 men but for the unfortunate flooding of his last years workings due to water which ran into the old shaft on MT Sandstrom's lay. Had Mir. Fishers offer of 5000 to pump the water been accepted it is probable that he would have worked both last years block and that which he is now working The work al ready done in the flooded block, in cluding $4,000 tunnel work done during the past winter, is lost fer the time being until the workings

LARSON & co.

On the Top f the hill betwen Wolf creek and Chatham creek work is being carried on on one of the Jupitcr-Mars properties known as the Shamrock claim. A shaft has been sunk during the past winter to a depth of 6o feet uncoyering a fair prospect On the shaft he vein has maintained width of eighteen inches Just 5u feet If drifting has been done, and the work is now be ing done from the 25 foot station. Oua ton of rock milled went $25. but inc operators do not calculate 10 mill any mere until the advent of mill They can crush the ore at d protIt n The ground. they say. but they cant when shipping to town, and are consequently piling up their rock slowly with hopes that a mill will soon be set up in the vicinity.

M'CARTY PROPERTY.

High up on the Wolf creek side of the divide between Fairbanks crek and Cleary creek the new Me Carty property. the working of which is the outcome of Mir. McCarty's fail ure to gain his point in his suit for the Pioneer claim, is showing up. for the work accomplished, as fine a lead as can be seen in any. Al though the shaft is down on the lead only - feet, t has exposed vein of remarkable uniformity in width with hanging wall and foot wall well defined and unmistakable. The av- craze width of the lead is eighteen inches with but slight variation there from. McCarty will continue to drop on the incline of the lead. which has pitch of sixty degrees. No machinery has yet been installed on he mine and all development work is being opened by hand wind, lass. With one assistant, McCarty is now busy square-setting the shaft with heavy timbers. From the 75 foot level 30 feet of tunneling has been done in each direction. Of several uprises already started one will be carr'ed through to the sur face for an air shaft. The timber ing work has consumed more time than McCarty anticipated since the shaft had to be enlarged to receive the timbers. At the present time there are 10 tons of low grade ore cn the dump awaiting the coming of a stamp mill convenient for freight ing. This rock all carries values. having been taken out in develop ment work on the lead One ship ment of S13 tons of ore from this property brought s100 to the ton. IL is all free-m'lling thus far.

Mr Noble looks for a season of some returns on his labors such as the variable values on this stream ha.a failed to bring to many. The work ings are about loo feet deep at rhis point. Although the pay has not been cross-cut to determine its ex- tent, Mir Noble has strip of ground 1900 feet long up and down stream and lao feet wide. or 1S0.00J feet of bedrock, which he expects to carry values that will warrant working the entire block. If such is he case, MT Noble has ground left 10 keep him busy two seasons mere after the present About If men will be employed on the property this summer.

CANNING & co.

MT Canning, pioneer operator on Dome creek, is still in good ground and will work 20 men during the present season, with work remaining for another year. Shortage of water is bothering to some extent. but il is probable that an agreement will be effected by MT Canning with MT Beck opposite him on the bench. to use the water on alternate shifts. as only single shifts will be worked by both On the upper end of Mir Canning's ground some laymen who took out a winter dump finished a cleanup of 200 ounces in three days with four shovellers at work There are 10000 feet of ground blocked out on the property.

L. FRIEDRICHS.

On Ridgetop MT, Friedrichs is SUI perintending the development of the quartz prospect in which he is inter- ested. The main shaft now being used is down 300 feet, a depth al most equal to the sinking accom- plished on the Newsboy property, which is the deepest in the camp. The entire shaft is cribbed up by poles in between square-set timbers in the corners. MT Friedrichs is de- termined to gain depth on the lead, and with that in view will continue to sink. The lead is almost straight in pitch. On the 200-foot level a shown good values. This dyke runs at about right angles to the main lead. On the 300-foot level a cross cut is being swung into the same dyke. The walls of the main lead are of tale composition, but the workmen have met with no difficult ty in tracing the lead. Although the best ore yet discovered was taken out on the 100 foot level, that is a source of little worry to MT. Fried rcihs, as the entire country rock near the surface is more or less feathered with dykes, some carrying values of great richness, as is the case with the porphyry dyke he is now cross-cutting.

TONY GOESSMAN.

On the Tanana Quartz and Fly draulic eompany's properties just above the Rhoads-Hall mine the old time quartz prospector of the Panama Tony Gcessman is plugging away and doing little talking MT. Goess- man says that most of the work done thus far is in the nature of prospecting, and that although he is sure he is on a splendid lead, he has not opened it up far enough as yet to make any forecast of it's extent.

GUS BALZlMER.

Just above the Rexal mine Gus RaIzimer, on the Homestake mine
 is working three men in straight tHnneling. During the past winter over Boo feet of driving on the enc level has ben accomplished. Some distance into the mine the water commenced to seep in so fast that "a pipe was laid and it is now being drained off. II is the belief of the operators that the main ledge has been uncovered. as water was ian ped two weeks ago in such volume in hard rock drilling that it can be nothing else than a Assure vein. say the operators. The workmen are now wearing slickers to shed the water with gum boots for foot coy ering. Even so, it is frequently necessary for the men to come out 10 put on dry apparel, Although the water is causing some trouble by putting out the fuses for the shots, its presence Is an aid in that it purifies the air by carrying away the smoke in fifteen minutes after charge is fired.

NORTH STAR CLAIMS.

Comprised ill this group of quartz locations are the Pioneer, Billy Taft, Union and Gr'msmore. Nil Giske discovered quartz here first in 1908, when he was open-cutting opposite above Chatham, and upon making the hard rock discovery abandoned the more lucrative placer field for the slower but sure quartz propos- ition. Since that date he has been al work in the hillsides, most of the time doing the work single handed. In 1909 Brumbaugh X Ham ilton, on lease of the property, sunk to depth of so feet and tun- neled from that level but were drowned out. Last summer Giske started at a point 200 feet higher on the hill and sunk 80 feet on the ledge. From this point he has run 125 feet of tunnel work during the past winter. 70 feet of this on one side of the shaft and the remainder OH lNe OJHeF. fGOHl lne Sur1dce the shaft was sunk vertically until the ledge was encountered at depth of 65 feet. The vein averages one foot in width Two tons of this ore milled $30 to the ton. There is no water in the workings to bother but in the old workings lower down the hill there is plenty of water for the needs of a stamp mill. It is a permanent supply. During the winter MT. Giske has been working two men besides himself on the property. but just at present he is doing a little prospect work alone on the upper end of the Union claim. He expects to let that go in favor of the more thoroughly prospected claim in the near future. however Altogether, MT. Giske is inclined to think he is on a property which will show up as good as any as soCn as crushing of ore is made possible and development work is opened up on a larger scale. MT Ed. Willis, of the JupiterMars prop erty, is part owner in the North Star Pioneer claim.
