 BACK FROM RUBY

Mir. George Hunter, s;ore manager for NJ. A. Pinska, returned 10 Fair banks last Monday morning on the White Seal having been on a trip to Ruby extend 'ng over I peri d of couple weeks He reports things rather quiet in that camp but says they have enough to justify a small camp under ordinary condi- tions; that the new strike has taken some from their midst and is likely to further depopulate the camp, but that those who remain have on ugh in sight to justify them and things w.ll slide along this winter in the same old way. He says that busi- ness is somewhat overdone in the town itself but that some of the creeks are showing up good and with proper " rk will he producers in the near future

4 SLIGHT DELAY
 IN OPENING COURT

The court party which left Idita- rod the day after the White Seal left that port. and was held up at II ly Cross on account of not be ng able to make connections with d boat for Ruby, caught the Sarah Monday and finally arrived at their destination.
 Last year the court party had q hard time getting back to Fairbanks. having held court in Iditarod until such a late date that ice was run ming in the rivers before attempt ng the return trip, and even at that were frozen in about half way be- tween the Hot Springs and thelr home port and had t. mush the re- maining distance under very adverse circumstances. This year they thought to avoid that hardship by leaving the lower camp when leav- ing was good and hold the last end of court at point where they would have no trouble getting out, but it seems that delays on the Wer end are inevitable at any time of the year or at any stage of the water

ANOTHER GREEK
 LOOKING GOOD

That Alder creek may soon be- come a producer is the latest news. and all because Mike Ellis has cross cut the creek with a hand drill and inc pannings taken fr2m the bottom of the drill holes indicate that there is ground something like 15O feet wide which will go $130 to the foot. It is but twelve feet to bedrock and can be operated very cheaply.
 Alder creek is a tributary to Far banks and comes in at No. 1 below It has been prospected some in the past, but owing to the fact that it was thawed ground nothing much was ever thought of it. The lower end of No. 1 was once upon a time prospected by the Griffin Bros, but as only short time lease could be had they could not see their way clear GO expend any great amount of money on the property At that time their ground prospected s2.7O to the foot.
 It is altogether likely that MT. Ellis will start in immediately cn further development, as he has ac. qu'red a 3-year lease on No. and wishes to demonstrate whether the pay is as good as the drill tests would signify.
