RRATNOBER THINKS
 WELL OF SUSHANA

Henry Bratnober, the well known mining man, who is now in Juneau has had three men in the Sushana country for the past eight years. MT. Bratnober is of the belief that the strike reported is genuine and that it is of considerable importance. The strike is on a tributary of the Su- shana, which is a tributary of the Ia mana. There are two gulches on which pay was located. None of the ground has frost in it and the upper ends of these gulches is very shallow diggings suitable for summer sluicing. Earth CT down the gulches it becomes deep CT to bedrock and on account of the water interfering no bedrock has been reached on the deep ground.
 It is only about thirty miles from the camp of MT. Bratnober on the Ne bisna, to the new diggings across the divide. The best way to reach the country is by way of Cordova and the Copper river railway There is a low divide in the mountain range that makes the country easy of access in the summer time.
