800 TONS or GRUB is TAKEN INTO NEW
 ToLoVANA CAMP


 FAIRBANKS. Nov. 1o.-The amount of freight that was hauled across the Tolovana log jam last senmer is one of the biggest evidences yet presented that if there is anything in the way of the creeks In the new district it will bo found. All the indications to far discovered point to the fact that there arc creeks there that will be good producers and that will pay to work That there will be much pros pecting done there this winter is un. disputed. Of course at the present time the erection of buildings is talk. ing up the attention of everyone there. but there has been lot of prospecting already and there will be lot more this winter
 The Freight Hauled
 Last summer there were 490 tons oi freight hauled across the log jam. The great majority of this freight was food. Two sawmills were taken ir but there was no very heavy machin cry that went in except the mills. Oi course there were shoyels and picki and some tools and stuff rather thar grub that was hauled in, but 1t i' safe to say that at least 300 tons O grub was taken in.- (Fairbanks Newl Mlner)
