by Associated PreSS.)

Mexica City, Oct. ia critical
point seems to have been reached in
che Madero administration. The ris-
ignation of the cabinet was demanded
in the Chamber of Deputies last night
by Deputy Mohono, but the President
of the Chamber refused to permit dis
cussion, and the motion will come
up today.
With General Felix Diaz, nephew
of the eXiled eX-president in undis-
puted control of Vera Cruz, Mexicos
most important seaport, reports reach
here also of new uprisings in various
parts of the republic, including the
city of Pachuga, fifty miles from the
capital. Besides the loyalty of the
army is questioned. Doubts as to the
specific object of the Diaz revolt were
removed when he was proclaimed
provisional president by Col. Jose
Ogdaz, his cousin, and commander of
the twenty-first infantry, stationed at
Nra Cruz.
So far advanced are his plans it
is said to have selected provisional
cabinet, in which General Bernardo
Reyes, now imprisoned in Mexico

ex-provisional President Della Barra,
minister of foreign affairs, Alberto
Gradados, formerly minister of the
interior, is mentioned for reappoint-

Commodore Azueta appears to be
the only government officer at Vera
Cruz holding out against Diaz. His
fleet including the only formidable
vessels in the Gulf, now is tied up
at the piers. Azueta failed to induce
the crews to remain loyal, then went
to the Island of Uloa, where he de-
fled Doaz.
In Yucatan, two new revolutionary
parties have appeared and it is as

RICH PLACER MINING ON
VALDEZ AND SLATE CREEKS

The United States Geological Sur
vey has just issued Bulletin ass,
"Hadwater Regions of Gulkana and
Susitana Rivers, Alaska" by Fred
H. Motif, report which deals pri-
marily with the district including the
Valdez Greek gold placers but also
gives an account Of mining develop
ments during the last few years in
the Slate Creek district, at the head
Of Chistochina River This Is where
:. A. Hazelet, Jack Miller and a few
other old-timers are operating.
Gold has been found in its bed
rock source in the slate area south
Of Valdez Creek and is present in
some of the stream-gravel deposits
within that area. Most of the plac-
er gold from this district, however,
has come from an old filled-in chan
mel or canyon once occupied by VAL
6eZ Creek and from the stream
gravels Of that part of the present
channel of the creek which lies be-
low the point where the old and
new channels intersect. The gold
in the new channel is in large part
a recommendation from the rich aur-
ferrous filing in the old canyon.
This old channel represents an earl
Ter stage of topography on which
the present stage is superposed. the
whole process being closely connect
ed with the intense glaciation which
this region has undergone and which
is not yet completed. The old chan
mel and the three or four creek
claims below it on the present stream
constitute an excellent example of
the Importance of recommendation in
the production of rich gold placers.
Lucky Gulch, a small branch of
Valdez Creek, contributed an i'm
portant amount to the gold produc-
ton of the district and Rusty Creek
promises to become producing
stream also. Mining on Valdez
Creek has been carried on under
difficulties arising from high cost
of transportation and labor, short
ness of working season, and other
troubles such that it could not have
been profitable if the gravel had not
been remarkably rich. The gold
production of Valdez Creek, includ-
ing that of 1910, is probably not far
from s275.o0o.
Slate Creek is rs miles east of
Valdez Creek. 1t is the site of an
older camp than Valdez Creek and
with its tributary, Miller Gulch. has
been the greatest producer of plac-
er gold within the Copper River bas-
in. having yielded more than one
and half millions of dollars. Its
gold is derived from a mineralized
area in slate. Diorite intrusive
rocks are present and in these re-
spects the deposits resemble those
of Valdez Creek. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the slate of Valdez Creek is
younger, although the diorite intru-
sives are probably of the same or
nearly the same age. The richest
gold deposits of Slate Creek and Mil
Ter Gulch are approaching exhaus-
ton and the camp has reached that
stage where it's future will depend
on the Introduction of more econom-
ical means of mining than have been
used in the past.

II. j. Barry, SECRETARY of the Cor
dova Chamber of Commerce, returned
Saturday night from a trip to the
Port Wells mining district. He re-
ports considerable activity in that
section, with about a hundred men
working and prospecting with some
excel an finds.
Mark Tatum, who was in charge
of work for the Mckinley Mining
Co., at Mckinley Lake, last summer,
has struck a very rich ledge at Fuzzy
Bay, near Barry Arm. He first
found some phenomonally rich float
which is literally speckled with gold
and on prospecting under the tundra
found the cropping he is now work
ing on. He is already in twelve feet
and expects to make 60 feet more in
the next two months. He is sack
ing ore as he takes it out and in
tends to make fifty ton shipment
shortly.
The Davis property near Golden
has had the largest amount of work
done and looks fine 1t is stated
that there will be stamp mill on
this property next spring.

ter's edge right in the town of Gold

siderable distance
Frodenberg and partners are do
ing development work on Golden
Eagle and Golden Wonder and they
are quite enthusiastic over what
they are showing up.
Bill Byers has put up substantial
log buildings and has a well stocked
store. Stantien and Johnson have a
fine store and roadhouse built of
outside lumber Frodeberg has al
so built fine house where he has
the Post Office. He is the doctor of
the camp and runs a drug and sta
tionery store also.
j. B. Tansey, the assayer, has a
good showing near the entrance to
Barry Arm and Cameron, of Cor
dova, has another prospect close by.
Sammy Thomas is working on the
Cerney property on Brittle's Bay.
They also have a fine looking pros
pect on Bulross Island.
Joe Westbrook and ]. Wolking
have staked some good looking
ground on Brittle's Bay. They are
now working up Portage Canal.
Carpenter Ray is camped near
Golden and has struck rich rock.

district Singleterry and r. ]. Nc

Port Wells is a busy looking
PLACE just now. There are about a.
dozen gasoline boats with good pros
pecting outfits, and from present in
dications there will certainly be some
rich mines established. In the Sec
ton between Hartman Ford and
Portage Canal they are picking up
rich float which runs up to a thous-
and dollars ton and sooner or later
some lucky prospector is going to-
find where it comes from. 1t is a.
difficult country to prospect as the
whole country is covered with a.
heavy coat Of tundra. Provisions
are reported as very reasonable SO
a couple of men with a boat can get
along with less money than in most
other sections.
