 These claims on the different creeks which comprise the district have been staked for long time and hunting for a claim or fraction is about like looking for a needle in a haystack. With the first influx the creek, side hill and bench claims were staked up pretty tight The majority of these men stalking were short of grub and had to make their way out regardless of representing the ground legally. Some may re- turn but many won't and this is what stimulates the present popula- tion to stand pat and winter in the country. The legal profession will be strongly represented and no doubt a good deal of attention will be paid to the legality of many claims.
 Apropos the Cordova, Mccarthy, Nazina, Scolai Pass and Russei Glacier route, there is not much to say that is not generally known. It might be added though that the dry weather coupled with the big volume of horse and foot travel has im- proved the trail considerably. And the road houses and different ferries have proved a great help. However the trail needs improvements and it is understood that men will start work tomorrow near the Chittistone glacier and on Sourdough hill to change the course of the trail in some places and to corduroy in cer- tain mucky locations. Scouts are also in the field now seeking a route for winter travel over the Nizina and Sushanna glaciers, which if practical will be used for double ender sleds. This would shorten the distance somewhat.

somewhat changed now, according 10 a.

his stay there of a few days he met
large number of mining men. and when
ever he was introduced to a stranger as
being from Nevada he was at once ques~
toned about either National or Roches-

thing pertaining to that business, had
heard OF the last strike Of fabulously rich
ore by the National Mines company, and
they all wanted full particulars.

Before this crosscut is started. how

sinking the big shaft for sixty or seven
ty feet, in order to provide a stump In
which to handle tl1e water from the mine,
particularly In view OF the company's
depth of al least 1000 feet,
The one fact of great Importance dem
onstrated by this deep shalt. and regard
ed by many as the most significant in
the camps history is that after. passing
through nearly 500 feet of shale. in which
nothing OF value was expected or found
the shaft has gone out of the shale and
mineralized and in which g. condition of
enrichment similar TO that on upper
levels may be found.
1t Is admitted that low-grade assays
and this in itself insures some degree of
enrichment II Is also A fact that wher-
ever enriched material Is exposed in this
district there is apparently no limit that
can be placed, with any degree OF GER
tainty, on this enrichment. In the early
work on the Mohawk and Clermont the
best that was obtained was from So to

posed ore that carried scores Of thou
sands per ton.
At this great depth Il is regarded as
certain that any ore found will be refrac-
tory IN character, carrying silver and
copper as well as gold but this cannot
be considered detriment to the mines
and on the other hand geologists de-
clare that II ore-bearing veins are found
at this depth, below the shale In a shale
contact or In the alasltire underlying the
shale. they must of necessity be assures
and may be OF great magnitude and ex-
tend to great depth, Many have held to
the belief that Goldficld would eventu-
ally have deep copper mines and the jus
tiiication or fallacy Of this theory is ap-
Parently about to be demonstrated in the
Merger Mines company's workings

Merger company has been almost exclu-
sively confined 10 sinking its deep shaft

In addition to its deep work It is the
intention TO explore the main St Ives
