MINING NOTES

Good reports have been coming from Treasure creek, in the Fairbanks dis .s.rict, on which rich pay was found in the early days of the camp, but which could not be worked owing to the amount of water that was struck. Beatty, Hamilton and partners re- gently sunk shaft on Treasure on the same ground worked by Woodsen and partners years ago. They drift ed into the old Woodsen workings and found the same rich pay, but did not strike the water which made the , ground impossible a few years ago. It is believed by the men that the Vault creek workings of recent years have drained the water off and that they vill have no trouble. A recent arriv- al from Treasure states that he banned some of the ground and got as high as a dollar per pan. In the early days, when WOodsen was work ing the same property, he rocked out $1,50O in a few days one time that he was anxious to get little ready money in hurry to pay some freight bills.
 F. T. Hope, the we'll known mining man, has gone to Drier bay, Knight island, where he will develop the Cop per Coin group of copper claims talk en over last fall from Silverman and White. The last Northwestern brought up a large quantity of ma chinery for this property, and Hope will have the same installed at the earliest possible moment, and push the development of the property in the l. expectation of putting the property on \ shipping basis before the summer iS over.
