 oc below discovery olive creek .,,,'a,,or G Wagner have done some .Dsosefing. they owning the ground. .obey got prospects but have not. ,nssed mel, their work far enough to get a fair showing as yet
 olive creek is only two miles or
 in length and empies into the .r,,ogana 9y river just above the mouth o's,s ,,.oncood creek lt comes down -, a inc right limit Further np the ,ra,,,,ono g~ on tue right limit Wilbur s,, o'y, emnties into the river and s,es ,,eso some excellent prospects have becn @ opened. Mr. conradi said this sf,ernoon that he had heard in com ine ont that good pay had just been sovnd but he could give no details.
 conradt. in speaking of operations ,o lvengood creek which is aepar- o,oa from Olive by divide said:
 sve have now lined mp pay on Liv- .ooood creek for a distance of nearly ,,go miles. beginning from four above s,scoverv The paystreok runs along .so richi limit from the upper end of no,cb claim. and Kinney and my- | self have crosscut 1t in a number of nlaoes So far as crosscut 1t is 70 seo, i'm width. How much wider it .in on we do not yet know. Below ns Hedstrom picked up the pay on discovery bench claim and has found if in two or three different shafts. Be- tween his ground and 4 above there ,e blank in which pay has not yet becn located. Discovery on Liven- good showed dollar gravel but begin. 9inr fhere the ground becomes very 1con The ground has not yet been thoroughly prospected on discovery.
 .conservatlvely speaking we have fonnd s1 foot on Liyengood, though some of the ground runs much bet tor If is from 20 to 2s feet in depth and easily worked. When was in inc citv before was 80 thoroughly convinced that we had pay that ] wired my partner. Jack Mihalcik. who has just reached here from Seattle. However. we thought it the best pol lev to keep quiet until we were aoso' ntely certain and have done 80.
 "Ruth. Alder Gertrude and Amy creoks all tributaries of Liyengood' nrospect well. and all may turn out to he producers. Our theory is that inc gold comes off the Amy dome which is the highest dome in that section and is at the head of Liyen. good creek, Tolovana river and Mike Hess creek. With pay found on Liy- engood and the Tolovana river. ii wonld appear as though a consider able and rich district had been op ened up and when 1t is thoroughly nrospected. we may find we have un covered something as rich as any thing in Alaska.
 "Remember that no prospecting wa. done to amount to anything oetor' ] January as everybody was doing then preliminary location work 10 hold th' ground For the slow opening of th' Tolovana district you can thank th' present Roden law which surely should be repealed. Had it not been for th conditions imposed by that law Iolc vana would have been well prospect | ed long before this and this winte we would have sent in mining out { fits to worl, with next summer
 "As 1t is pay has been located g late in the season. that we canno possibly get in heavy machinery owe the snow and river transportation stnl an unknown quantity. The r' suit will be that most of us will cor tinue prospecting this summer an
 lining up pay With ground less tha thirty feet deep. drift mining will ro be necessary. It is an open cut cour try. with not much available water a 5 that. Olive creek hasn't a quarter c a sluicehead and water will have t come from up the Tolovana river. nh trail is breaking up now so that an heavy freighting is impossible '
 Conradt and Kinney came in by do team from Olness this morning. The are busy today answering question and taking care of their own bushes matters and expect to return just a
