? AY DISCOVERED
 LIN WILSON CREEK

MCCARTHY, Feb. 15-George Go shaw, who came out here recently from the Chisana, brings the report that the winter prospecting in that camp has been productive of very satisfac- tory results. He states that MT. Her man has found good pay on Wilson creek, one of the main streams of the camp. This find is considered by the miners as most important, as Will son creek heretofore has shown no pay, and by a number had been con demened as barren. The strike of Herman, however, disproves this be. lief, and will be the cause of stlmu- lating the search for the paystreak at other points along the stream.
 Since the fall of snow recently, which has made the sledding good the Chisana has been busy camp. Many of the prospectors have been engaged in sledding wood to the claims, and are now sinking. As a result pay has been found at several points. Num- erous prospect holes have been sunk on Alder. Bryan and Big Eldorado creeks, with the result that good pay has been uncovered on some of the benches. These finds have done much to hearten the prospectors and miners, who are now predicting a prosperous season for the camp.

GETCHELL|SHERE LIN WAY TO
 JUNEAU

w. w. Getchell. the last of the se- warg peninsula legislators to reach Cordova, enroute to Juneau, arrived on yesterday afternoons train and will take the first steamer south for the territorial capital. He made the trip from Nome to Fairbanks by dog team.
 Personally he believes there will be little for the coming legislature to do and for one is opposed to over legislation, decrying the tendency in new territories or states to overdo. He wants to see the present mining law repealed and says that this is the undoubted wish of his district. There fore, he is pleased to find a similar sentiment obtaining all through the interior. Senator Sutherland he be- lieves is favorable to either its repeal or the removal of many objectionable features of it and as practically the entire delegations from the Second and Fourth divisions favor 1t. it's a safe bet that the Roden law will soon be mere history.
 Business conditions on the penin- sula he says are favorable for the coming season and some new ground has been opened Practically all the prospecting in the Nome country now is done by drills.
 Representative Getchen is a modest man, who gives one the impression of being also pretty level headed in his views and desiring to represent faithfully the controlling sentiment and views of his district. He has been North since 1901 and knows his country thoroughly. So far as Nome district is concerned, however, he he says there is lttle or nothing that his people desire from the legislature except the elimination of the present Roden mining law.
