HIGH PRICES FORCE CREEK
 MAN TO QUIT

That he cleanup of $2o.000 which he recently brought to town will be his last this season. is the statement made by James McPikc. the well known and prominent Pedro creek operator, The reason is the high price of grub and all other com moditjeS and necessities incidental 10 mining, the cost being so great that it prccludes all possibility of mining the low grade ground that exists on Pedro MT McPike says that he has fully ten years work ahead of him in opencut propositions on Pedro creek. but that he will do nothing more until prices are lowered to such d point that he can mine with profit ground that goes thirty-five cents to the square foot of bedrock This he says. he cannot do under present conditions, as the cost of mining is great enough 10 make certain that ther" k no profit.
 Mr. McPike's recent cleanup is from ground owned by himself and Mrs. Ed McAdam He had lease on the property and therefore, aC- cording to the terms of the lease, had to mine il during the present summer. For this reason he con tinucd work this season. finishing the scraping of $500 feet of bed rock. From this cut he took ap- proXimately $20.00O. which will make the ground average about thirty-five cents.
 Ground on the creeks of this dis trict which goes but thirty cents to the square foot has been known 10 pay d profit when it could be mined to advantage by scraping methods But when such mining was done no such prices on supplies were in eX- istence as prevail at the present time Consequently it is all but
 impossible to make ground pay which goes five cents more, at the present time, and MT. McPike is only one of many operators in the Fairbanks district who are considering the ad visibility of stopping all work on their ground until conditions here become better r
