LARGE OUTPUT E0R L|VENG00D
 IS PREDICTED
MILLION THIS SUNNI MER-FUllY THREE MILLION DURING
 NEXT SEASON.

That the output of the Tolovana country, principally Livengood creek and it's tributaries, will nearly reach the million mark this season is the consensus of opinion among Fairbanks business men who have and the Tolovana mining men them selves. Some of the estimates run as low as $600000 for the season, but they carry provisos as to con ditions regarding water and ma chinery
 Next season Is expected to be the big one in the Tolovana. In fact. it is predicted that there will be between two and three million dol alone next spring. For the pros pecting and operating actually done this summer will demonstrate to a practical certainty just where the pay on Livengood lies, which will make it easy for the mining men to take out large dumps next win ter and await the spring flow of water to extract the millions in gold.
 There is but little machinery in the Tolovana country. Which, per haps, will be a reason why the out put will fall short of the million
 mark, if it does Another reason will be the shortage of water which prevails on Livengood creef.
 Gus Peterson X Co., are operating on the largest scale of any of the Livengood creek operators. They are working in three places, and are planning to commence work In the fourth place immediately. And they have good ground in all the places where they are working.
 The pay has now been located from the mouth e. Myrtle creek up the right limit bench of Livengood to the bench claim opposite No, l5 dDoNt. uelt ale, HoWtNcl, l"o Ol three places in the streak where no pay has as yet been found. On u e lower end of the creek the deep ground commences just where Myr- tie comes in, and it is therefore supposed that there is no pay furtn- CT down on Livengood That. how ever, is a matter of surmisal, as no holes have been rut to bedrock ne- low the mouth of Myrtle.
 Dooling & Patterson are the first operators on the lower end of the creek. They are working in pay on No. l below on Myrtle, or exactly in line with the Livengood pay streak The Ready Bullion claim, on which Henry Cook, Clarence Dor finger and "Cub' Baer recently found the pay, lies just above and adjoining the ground on which Dooling & Patterson are working. Then comes one of the breaks in the streak as it has so far been To- cated, nothing having been found in about half a mile of ground
 Lynn, Pierce & Go. are the most advantageously located of all of the Livengood mining outfits, according to the reports from the Tolovana, They are operating on the Gan as sociation, and are in good pay. Their advantage lies in being able to get water from Myrtle creek, and they are now constructing a ditch with that object in view. They will short ly commence to hoist pay with big plant, MT. Lynn having made ar engagements for machinery when on a recent trip to Fairbanks. The plant is now being taken to Liven- good from Westfork They sunk eight holes before they located the pay.
 Two outfits are working in the vi cinity of the wireless station at Brooks One of them is fully one quarter of a mile nearer Livengood creek than are Crook and part ners and Dooling & Patterson. Which leads to the belief that the paystrealr is wider than was supposed. or else is very crooked
 Richard Barthel and "Chub" Doug las are the other outfit, They
