MINER
 DEFENDS CH|SANA

In its issue of January 16 the Dawson News contains the following concerning the favorable outlook at Chisana:
 C. S. w. Barwell. who has been in the country since the early days Of the Klondike camp, says the adverse reports coming from the Chisana should not be accepted as sealing the fate of that region. He points out that Klondike and Fairbanks were long time developing area after their first gold was discovered.
 Bonanza creek" says Mir. Barwell. was struck in August. 1895. I was not in the country at the time, but by June. 1897, l remember, there had been cOmN2rat tive'v Ii tie gold ak en out. The high benches of Bon- a7za and FldOrado were not know until the spring of 1898, that is to say. until the big stampede occurred. In '97 not more than one-third of Hunker creek had been staked, and lower Hunker was looked on as a moose pasture. It was not until three years after the original strike that Sulphur and Quartz creeks amount. ed to anything. While Dominion was partially developed in '99 Gold Run was not developed until 1900, and gold was not even discovered there until the spring of '99. Gran vile was discovered still later.
 All in all. l should sav tho this camp not more than one-twelfth of the gold bearing area that has since been devel red was known i' the first year after the original dis covery and that it to7k four years before the camp was fully developed. When you consider that the most distant portion of the gold-bearing area was not more than fifty miles from a steamboat landing, this seems quite a long time, and l consider if only foolshness for people to knock the new camp just because there have been no startling developments
 his winter
 q might add that it took three years to develop the Fairbanks coun- try, and that the original announcer of the discovery came near being lvnched because the ground did not show up quick enough to suit the more anxious ones. l have had a poo1 may talks "ith the real mi CTS in the new diggings. and the" tell ne that gold has been found wherever they got to bedrock. That ought to be good enough for anyone"

1 and IS Restored
 To Public Entry

More than 1,67S,000 acres of with drawn lands in the Western States were restored to entry and about 50,000 acres were withdrawn dur ing December, according to state ment given out by Secretary Franklin K. Lane, of the Interior department. The result is net decrease in out standing withdrawals in the public land states of nearly 1,630,oO0 acres. The action was based on recommen- dations to the secretary by the Unit ed States Geol gical Survey.
 The States most affected are Mon tana, in which 120,000 acres hereto fore included in phosphate lands were shown by the Geological Survey to be not phosphate bearing and were 'hirefore restored to entry; North Dakota, in which the withdrawals of cal land were likewise reduced by over 646,0OO acres; and Washington and Wyoming. where there were re- auctions of nearly 500,OO0 and 400,- 900 acres, respectively, in coalland withdrawals The principal areas withdrawn during the month were in California and Wyoming. In Cali lOTuld dlGI ICoCIVCS dS5iS gating 36,000 acres were created, and in Wyoming more than 12,000 acres were withdrawn for the same pur- pose.
 The net effect of this action has been to reduce the entire area with drawn in the public-land States from somewhat less than 67,9O0,O0O acres at the beginning of the month to little less than 66,270.OO0 acres at the end of the month. This area with drawn is to be compared with ap- proximately S8,OO0000 acres that have thus far been classified under the several mineral-land laws.
 During the month of December somewhat less than 100000 acres were classified as nonirrgable land and by order of the secretary were opened to entry under the enlarged homestead act. This makes a total of about 207,375,OOO acres of land that have been classified as nonir- rigable since the passage of the act
 The total area of lands which have been classified in Western States up to the end of December aggregates nearly 295,7O0,000 acres.

Dig up 5000 Bodies
 Buried Century Ago
STRANGE THINGS ARE FOUND IN COFFiNS WHICH ARE MORE
 THAN 100 YEARS OLD.

NEW YORK. The bones of 5000 persons are being m we'd from the old Bedford street Meth dist church. corner of Bedford and Morton streets. in Greenwich Village. to Mount Olivet ceme- tery. The church has been aban- doned and purchased by the city, the extension of Seventh avenue having been surveyed over the site. and the twenty subterranean vaults under the cid building, which have been closed up and sealed for seventy years, have been opened.
 More than 100 years ago the ground upon which the famous Greenwich Village church now stands was used as burial ground. The church bought the cemetery and erected a building over it. The bodies were dug up and placed in the twenty vaults beneath the church.
 The collins which held the bodies were found. in many cas- es, moldered to dust. In the larger vaults, which were per haps thirty feet square and ten feet high, as many as 700 cof- fins had been damned. 1dentifi- cation. in most cases, will be i'm possible.
 Many strange things have been found in the collins. In several were coins bearing eighteenth century dates In many were rings. and in one tiny coffin the wax head of child doll was still intact

Company to Dredge
 Yankee Greek Mines

Charles Martelia of Yankee creek, lnnoko diggings, reached Flat We'd nesday evening from Takotna, having lditarcd Pioneer He was accompan- fed by George Glass, represent. tive of the San Francisco dredger mining company that intends to put q dreuge on Yankee creek as soon as possible. Mir. Glass came to this city 70 communicate the results Of the extensive prospecting which he has been carrying on on that creek to his company.
 There is no longer any doubt as to the company's intention of taking up the options it has long held on arge tracts of mining ground on that famous old creek, as The Pi IT. eer is informed that purchase money ply for it. The company secured some of the options nearly two years ago.
 It is reported that the prospecting lone under the supervision of MT. Glass during the past few m nths has been very thoroughly and scientlti- cally executed. The drilling was done with a new model hand drill, and as the ground is on an average of eight feet deep, the drill easily put down about eight holes a day. The creek was crosscut with holes 20 feet apart at distances of 400 feet along the course of the stream. It is the intention Of MT Glass to further prospect the ground by drlv- i1g holes in the same manner mid way of those already down. The dregde will be shipped up the kus kokwim river next summer to Takot- ma, and next winter freighted to Yankee, to be in readiness for opera icus early in the spring of 1915.
