JACK SECURES
 DREDCE UP T|ONS
 0N COLDSTREAM
WILL PROBABLY PROSPECT ON GoLDSTREAM PROPERTY
 DURING NEXT YEAR.

w. G. Jack, mining engineer for the Hughes s-Timmins-Lewis interests in the Tatlanika, announced yeSter- day that he had secured options on most of the claims on Goldstream between No. II and No. 24. The firm that MT. Jack represents is dredging concern, and he expects to property The price at which the options were taken has not yet been made public but it is understood to have been a substantial one.
 The property on which the options were secured lies between II and "A on Goldstream. The names of the owners of the property were not given, but it is known that k. C. Wood and E. R. Peoples have inter- ests in that section. On the majori- ty of the claims very little work has been done. Most of the owners have considered the combined prop critics as an ideal proposition. and have been waiting for the oppor, tunity to get dredge men interested.
 It is too late in the season for MT. Jack to do any prospecting this year, but he says that he is quite certain that he will be in early next year for the purpose of prospecting. Ac- cording to the engineer, the ground has to be thoroughly prospected be fore any dredges will be brought in. It will take at least year for the firm to decide whether there is enough pay in the ground to warrant the installation of a dredge.
 It will cost between $25,000 and $50,000 to prospect the ground, and that work will likely be done next season if no unexpected accident holds it up. The installation or the standard dredge, used by the com pany, costs in the neiighborhood ol $250,OO Therefore the company, ac- cording to the engineer, has to be certain of the values before the actual installation of the dredge takes place. Moreover, the prospect ing methods of the drift miner are not of much value to the dredge man. That is the reason for the extensive make next season.
 Mir Jack expressed himself as very fayorably impressed with the country as a dredging proposition. But Of

Mr. Joslin expects to leave for the Outside on Saturday, And he hopes to put the quartz deal through as soon as he arrives in New York MT. w. A. Shedwick, the mining en- gineer who is making preliminary examination of the properties. is not yet through with his work. but he will be finished shortly and will then go Outside and report on what he has found Nothing can be learn ed as yet concerning what the report of the engineer will be, but it is learned from others that the surface indications point to the fact that the rock carries values which are good enough to justify further develop ment work. And it is hoped that in his report the engineer will recom- mend further development.
 The two properties in question are two of the most promising undeVel oped prospects in the country. But little work has been done on them in the last, ewing to the lack of capital for development purposes Which has been the chief reason for the general setback in quartz in this section of the country. For 1t is a well known fact that there are any number of low grade quartz min ing propositions in the interior

They, too. have worked on the ground from time to time. al ways with an eye to the future But, like all of the quartz prospectors ol the district, they have been unable to continue the development of the property, on account of lack of capi- tai.

 The lack of capital for develop. ment purposes has therefore been the greatest drawback to the quartz industry in interior Alaska It can therefore readily be seen that if Out side capital can be induced to take up the development of the quartz leads which are known to exist here it will mean much to the future Of Fairbanks.
