Mining Notes

Rome and Nelson, two well known proSpectors around Chitina, are going to develope deposit of molybdenum on the headwaters of the Chitina river as soon as the weather will permit
 Indications point to the fact that Goldstream, in her day one of the biggest producing creeks of the Fair banks district, will soon know the hum of dredging machinery. F.. E. l Collisions and A. w. Conradt, Fair banks mining men, are taking options on the ground and have interested outside capital in the venture.
 The geological survey calls atten- tion to the substantial accuracy of it's approximate figures concerning the mineral and other outputs of the country, published promptly on the { first of each year for the year pre- ceding. Until few years ago these approximate figures were not given out, and no reports were made until months after the end of the year. | The survey prefering to wait for the complete facts before making public announcement.
 This delay frequently rendered the reports of little practical value. Now, however, there is prompt announce ment, and that it is noteworthy that in all cases it has been very close to the completed official figures, as as certained later.
 For instance, the surveys estimate of the gold output of Alaska for 1915, published January 1, 1916, was less than 1.2 per cent in excess of the final figures made public four months later, and Alaska's exceptionally large yield of copper was 8 per cent. For the last two years the prelimin- arv estimates of the coal output of the United were only about four tenthS of 1 per cent and 2.6 per cent in error; for the more cratic petrol cum industry the estimates of mar keted output published January l have been within one-half of one per cent and five per cent of the final figures; the preliminary estimates of cement were within three-tenths of one per cent and four-tenths of one per cent of the actual output.
 Fred Wilson, Jim Mcleod and Louis HalverSon have made a new discovery in the Cripple camp on Slug gulch, which runs up the steep side ot Cripple mountain. The first hole they sunk they secured l9 grains of gold from ten pans. They crosscut the gulch and found pay 50 feet wide. A hole 15O feet below discovery revealed good pay. The ground is ten feet deep with three feet of pay dirt. They estimate it to go about $2 to the foot.
 The machinery for the mill at the Cube Mine on Prince William Sound, has been completely installed. Every thing was found to work in Satis- factory manner and the mill was started grinding out the yellow metal from the ore.
 Angus McDougall, who is at the head of the Chitina-KuSkulana Cop per Company, which owns and Oper- ates the War Eagle group of twenty four claims in the Kuskulana dist trict will make a trip to the states to purchase new machinery and more horses, and reports that during the coming summer the property will be opened up on an extensive scale, giv- ing employment to from 300 to 400 men.
