 FAIRBANKS. Nov. IS. - Jas. Sherard, who is the locator of sev- eral claims on Tolovana creek, has applied to the local United States land office for a permit in the names of himself and J. C. Kinney to cut l 100000 feet of saw timber in the new Tolovana mining district. Kin ney has a sawmll over in the Koyu- kuk winch will probably be moved over the snow as soon as travel be- comes possible or a mill may be taken out from here.
 This is one of the encouraging signs of the new camp, No one as yet is willing to assert that paystreak has been found, for according to re- liable reports one hasn't been dis covered. but the prospects are fine. Sherard reports that bedrock was struck at close to 30 feet in two thaws and that gold was found on it. There seems to be several feet of ground carrying gold. He did not see the bottom of this hole, but says he understood that it showed three-cent pans. It lies on the left limit on the north side of Liven- good creek and Sherard and other experienced miners believe that the pay will finally be uncovered on the south side, where it has been found in all the Fairbanks districts. A great many holes have been sunk by Kinney & Conrad and their partners. With their little prospect ing boiler they generally make two thaws which they find sufficient to send the hole down from 9 to 30 feet. This gives them their location work, required by law, before re cording can be done, and they have been going no further than this work.
 MT. Sherard does not know how many men are in the district but says that at one time at least 50t were stalking claims.
 Mike Hess Creek is staked from l it's head down several miles. The
