SOME GOLD STRIKE vAGAR1Es

part mshers who went in and immediately came out the far Cordova will have much desired effect whatever may have been the real intention of the knockers They should to the enderfeet that the hardshps incident to musng into the country and the effort to locate and work claims IS as difficult for them would be for lawyer to make success machine shop physician to operate fourng m Many of these neither temperamentay physically capable of running against the discourage of packing grub their for hundred miles and then to endure the dscomor of seeking gold when they have to mush around looking for creeks with possible values They naturally discouraged Some them wisely
 turn back at Cordova others have gone far and then thought better their rush. Others to Ct stone Skoai before they realized that their grub running short and would only last few days
 Some of the men who giving out signed statements,
 like Walter Soderburg formerly of Nome did get beyond Cordova Walter here couple of days and heard the kind of talk from the first contingent of discouraged ''near seekers did experienced who have made success of placer mining in the Nome country But didn't deter like Tom Lane George Bunker A. D. Nash Jake Berger Tom Moves and Albert Fink from starting the interior while Walter occupied comfortable the steamer route back to Juneau And the discouagng talk heard by D. Bur and M Clark experienced mining engineers from San Francisco and by of who went into the country properly equipped expecting to stay during the winter.
 Of course there may be and honest differences of opinion to the extent of rich pay in the Cisana But
 matter that will have to be demonstrated by actual work Prospecting has that good coors have been found in
 dozen different creeks within of ten fifteen miles,
 It is further known beyond question that there several rich claims three creeks where rich pay has been taken continuously for the past month During the past much work has been started by who practical placer miners and who equipped with tools and food supplies remain the country and work during the winter Possibly tenths of the early rush the who simply went with 30 40 pounds of grub their backs and then impossible to buy food the country they compelled to immediately return And many of them did have funds sufficient to buy food if it had been available
 Then again many of the mushers who went in soon realized that the we'll known creeks had all been They did not have the energy to strike little farther try to find coors and of the many other streams that tributary the Chsana and but few miles distant all right for men and newspapers to the enderfeet to wait awhe but when the assertion is that there no gold in the Chsana country that the Skoai trail from McCarthys is something terrible to contemplate malicious reinstatement made for the contrary has been undenaby proven And Dr. D. D. Carnes geoogs for the Canadian government who has just examined the Chsana field and declares that gold there and that it is the biggest strike since the ondke After hearing from the doctor and having heard the personal experiences and observations of reliable mining who have returned Cordova are inclined to believe that Walter Soderburg may be slightly mistaken about the Chsana gold fields.
