STAKES ARE STILL IN EVIDENCE

Practically all that remains of the famous Georgetown stampede of 1910, says J. R. McGovern. are the stakes of Pat and Jack O'Connor. The O'Con- nors, it will be remembered made a whirlwind trip to the George river, stakipg mile after mile of ground. In the recorders books at Georgetown over 50 associations carry their names. Of course nothing has beep done on the ground during the past year, and it is all open again.

THERE IS HOPE
 FOR SALATNA

Letters received from Ruby on Wednesday $ mail are decidedly dis appointing in their general tone, and 1t cannot be said that pay has been located i'll sufficient quantities to insure good camp. But the Ruby district has been retarded much the same way as Iditarod has been by the operation of the old placer law. With the new year it Is expected that a great deal of ground located in 1911 will lapse, because no as cement work has been done oil the associations, and re- location in smaller areas by genu- inc prospectors will give renewed life 10 the district.
 But while most of the creeks have been disappointing, the Salatna river seems 10 promise well. and residents of Ruby and vicinity are pinning their faith to that stream.
 In a letter 10 Duncan Michie, Tom Armstrong says that prospects have been found On tributaries of the Salalna running from two to three cents to the pan The ground is about 40 feet to bedrock, and is frozen. The formation is gray schist and slate, and looks pretty good.
 MT. Michie is interested in nine creeks on the Salatna His partner there having staked single claims. i'll preference to associations, so as to give others a show. In add i;ion he is interested in some 4 claim associations.
 According to the Ruby Record Citizen the creek which is receiv- ing most attention is known as Tamarac creek. It is about 10 miles long, aud the prospects were found near the head.
