Most of the work is being done on Bonanza creek, with very satisfactory results. On No. II "Dud Mckinney is in rich pay and pans running as high as $50 are ob- tained. James and Nelson are entend- ditch at cost of S10,o00 Many of the operators are sluicing on the diff ferent creeks and considerable pros pecting is being done.
 The great surprise of the year was occassioned by the richness of the pay found on Bonanza creek above Coarse Money creek as far No. 10. James Nitric on No. 10 having one cleanup all coarse geld.
 The season is very backward and little gold is being recovered in com parison to what would have been done had there been a plentiful supply of water. All above claim No. 6, on Bon anza creek and it's tributaries are handicapped for lack of water. When there is water to work with the men are worked night and day trying to make up for lost time.

Lewis E. Shoot, who is said to be 8 personal representative of the Secre- tary of Interior, Hon. Franklin K. Lane, was Cordova visitor yesterday He Is passenger on the steamer North western and made the trip over the Copper River & Northwestrn railway to Miles and Childs glaciers. The trip was revelation to MT. Shoot and he was very enthusiastic in his praise of the wonderful sights he saw and also the throughly equipped road over which he travelled. He had evidently not expected to find such a railroad in Alaska, judging from his expressions.
 From those who talked with MT. Shoot 1t was learned that he was on tour of investigation of Alaska harbor conditions for railroad terminals, with a view to their adaptability in handling the local coal when it is opened up and ready for market. He Is on his way to Portage Bay and An chorage, but expects to return to Cor dova in about three weeks and study conditions here. This is MT. Shoots first visit to Alaska, and 1t Is under stood that he is railrod contractor in the states.
