The lionizing accorded this writer, who is a great favorite in England, did not upset him nor was he chagrined by an embarrass- Ing situation that confronted him just before the reception closed
 It was then that the hostess brought up to him her daughter, a pretty child of seven years. Just as soon as she had been presented the youngster said in a loud, clear voice:

 Why do you say that, my dear?" asked the author.

@o miles. Major Richardson Is here now. and there maybe some thing doing in the way of roads. One iayman on Windy Bench, Long creek, tried To make a go of his property on 25 per cent lay and 10 per cent royalty on the pIant the larg- est on the creek a 3O-h. D. out fit The ground was good but he had 10 give up to much He was com pellcd to give up the lay, after one Of his men. Carl Siversen. was kill cd oE June 2G-;he first fatal acci. dent in the camp. Wilictt X Cox, on Trail creek. have a ssh. D. plant Besides these two. there are but three or four $ to 12-h. D. outfits On Long creek the pay has been found and fairly well lined up for about 5la miles The following out fits are at work there: Pahlke X Strobb. Drake X Co., Wickstrom & Brittle, Fernando X Johnson, How "'"' '''''Shl " Hlioup, beTHdTu x Buckley, Warren X Godfrey, Smith, MeGettingan X Mossey, Carlin, Dol rich X Rasmussen. Dr. Moore & Gus Stenfeldt and Webster X I.ague.
 Long creek pay is 40 to 135 feet wide, openCut 10 75 feet deep and carries s1.5O to B values; although the claims have not been crosscut to show this beyond doubt. The pay is getting richer toward the lower end of Long Two miles of the pay are above discovery. The upper end Of the creek has not been prospected much. Long was passed up for some time. with the expecta- tion that Trail would he the ban her creek. The latter, however, has been somewhat of a disappoint- ment. The following outfits are in uncertain pay on Trail: Willett x Cox, Bricc X Capewell, O'Connor < Sousa, Mutchler, Iceland X Bell, Ferry Bros. If all of this ground shows up. Trail will have five miles of pay It is said to be a narrow streak So far as prospected the lower end is low grade, while the upper end is better, showing s150 to $2 to the foot Six outfits are in low grade pay on Glen gulch, which heads against Bear Pup.
 Nickstrom X Brittle on iong, have cleaned up about $2,50 to the foot, they estimate $900 in one cleanup.
 Jordan on Bear Pup, took out $2.9oo this spring on a small open cut This. he says. was equivalent to $&1o to the foot At the pres ont cost of operation these returns make it difficult to defray the la bor item. The ground Jordan is working is but five feet deep-l foot of muck.
 The camp has a scant lOOO popu- lation. of which less than one-half or thrreabouts are in town.
 By the way, here's the list of Bear Pup miners:
 Fernando X Johnson, Allen & Chisholm, Jordan X Doyle, Felton & Co. Nelson, IIiegstrom X Johnson, Sinclair Bros, Mcleod X Bell
 The last named is in the money on : above going less than a dollar
 A bank is needed here above all things. The real miners appear to have a good kick coming on the as sociation evil. The whole country is blanketed. Some say that lays are to he had on individual claims. but that the association owners are sparring for time to sell before the ground is opened up to show what is really contained. There is some excitement here about pay on the Salatna. in the back country-one of the drainage basins of the Ruby creeks Another find is reported in the Innoko. Men are going in both direction.

The Alaska citizen., 1912-07-22

Tn frlday mall a letter. dated July &. was received rom Ralph Cairns, recently with this paper, and now on his way Outside The in- formation it contained regarding the new camp may be considered fairly authentic, as Mir. Cairns states it was received from reputable men. This is what he has to say:
 With hardly dollar coming into Ruby, the people are all holding on, except those who have nothing at stake. Many of the latter have gone to other parts with the idea of making grubstake to return to this place for a winters prospecting, The winter was a hard one in a monied way. Not until the break up was there anything located worthy of mention, and then it all came in a bunch. As the camp now looks, the following creeks will be the producers. the mileage of pay streaks of apparent continuity being noted after each creek:
 Glen, I F miles; Long, 51a miles; Bear Pup, ? miles; Trail. miles, and Midnight, E mile making a to- tai of II miles of likely looking ground.
 The following creeks show good indications; Basin. Quartz, Tip, Mon ument, Lucky Gulch and Flint.
 It appears that there are three chief factors responsible for the curtailing of the output, if any there is to be. They are the Ruby-to- creeks freight rates. the lack of water and the lack of money and banking facilities. There is very lit tie money in town and credit is scant The merchants are doing haphazard banking business. The past ten days have been dry. so that only half a sluicehead of water is coming down Bear Pup. The operations on this short creek. it ap- pears, will always be dependent on the rainfall, as there is no other source Of supply. Fernando X Johnson, owners of 1 and 2 above. Bear Pup, have nearly completed a ditch on Long creek. which will sup ply their two claims on this creek and also on Discovery on Long (which is discovery on Bear. too. the claims all numbering above) These owners have stripped the moss off of ground representing 150,O00 feet of bedrock, and are now pre- pared to ground sluice. A nugget weighing S103 was taken from this ground. On Bear and the upper part of Long creek the pay seems to be quite coarse. and is found most ly in the gravel dozen outfits have found the pay on Long. al though it has not yet been pros pected thoroughly The argument is iiitA'' '4ltit tiI' lol iiltitlOi AtiuS tO show that glacial action has brought down the pay. rather than gravel wash, and for that reason it will be spotted, but few seem to think so, and all agree that next winters prospecting will tell the tale The business men seem to be unani- nous in saying that it will take till next summer before they can make any money. This season is done for. and although some little freighting is being done, the opera tors will. for the most part have to wait until snow flies again. No snow came until November last year so the freighting season was short ened. The charges now are t21@ cents to Long, and a little more. F cents, I believe, to Trail In the early winter they were B cents to Long. On that basis you can read fly figure how the miners have been handicapped.
