Mining Notes

Joe Sherry and Pat O'Connor of Fairbanks, report that considerable excitement has been caused in the Tolovana country by the uncovering of three-dollar dirt on No. 19 above. The find was made on ground owned by Tom Davis and associates. It is expected that the find will stimulate prospecting on the upper end of the creek, which has been practically de- serted.
 The ToloYana output for the eur rent year will reach $l,750,000 in placer gold, according to the estimate of Senator O. P. Gaustad, of Fair banks now at Juneau, who is interest ed in the sawmill business in that dis trict, among other things. "The Tolo- vana is good little camp" said Sen ator Gaustad, "and it is being worked fast. It will be worked out within a feaw years, unless more good ground is discovered, at the rate they are go- ing now. Practically all the pay that has been discovered is on Livingood creek. That creek this year will yield $1, 1,75O,OOO. There are about $50 peo- pie in the district"

is no United States marshal (deputy) stationed either in the Kuskokwim, Mt. Mckinley or the Innoko precincts. One should be stationed either at Ophir or Tokotna. If the government is unable to stand the expense of sta tioning one at both places. This pc tition has been signed by people liv- ing in and around Ophir and ToI'otna, but the matters touched on concern those living any where in the Ks kokwim, Mt. Mckinley, InnOkO, Ruhy and Iditarod districts.
 The Kuskokwim river is the see conG largest river in Alaska, yet it drains country which is without tele- graphic communication with the rest of the territory. In summer it has practically no mail service. 1t has no schools for white children, and no trails except those built by God-Al- mighty and the people living in the said districts.
 Although we'll mineralized this country is of slow development Lc- cause it has for some reason or her not been given by the government the aid furnished to other parts of the territory.
 Your petitioners would ask that aside from giving us some con sideration as American citizens in improving our mail service, at least twenty thousand l%10,00O0 dol lars be appropriated for and used in building section of thc Seward An chorage-Ruby trunk iina road be- tween Ophir and Tokosrl where it is sadly needed, eventually connecting this with the Ruby-long Poorman- Cripple -Tolstoi-Ophir Mcirath An chorage-Seward trunk line road from tidewater to the lower Yukon.

bulk of the winter travel. This :S now going over trail from I IEotua by way of Ophir to Iditasod. This trail was cut out by the Kuskokwim Commercial company, of Tokotna anu from Ophir to Iditarod by the people of Ophir and Iditarod, Alaska. Un- ' less something is done by the govern ment on roads or trails in this district, the development of the country on both sides of the divide will be Seri- ouSly checked and retarded. The , formation of this country Is mostly broken slate and road building is not expensive.
 In addition it is essential that the trail to Iditarod used for summer travel to Ophir and TOkotna be staked. This trail runs over and along high ranges, and in it's present condition cannot be travelled in time of storm or fog. Many have been lost tand suffered severe hardship, while others have lost their lives. How many have started and never arrived 1 is not known. One man found was buried at Crater mountain. This trail i could be staked and the necessary cabins put in at small cost.
 ! Neither Ophir or Tokotna can meet the present school law which requires twenty children of school age in a school district outside of incorporated towns. However, this is an instance of law not fitting the country. On the entire KuSkokwim river from Bethel to Tokotna there is no school for white children or those of mixed blood, nor is there in the Innoko, A school is needed at Tokotna; it will be attended by more the the minimum number of pupils required by law.
 There was this winter, as there was last year a shortage of supplies or the Kuskokwim river. Both years vessels carrying supplies and ma, chinery have met with accidents and have failed to reach Bethel. In both of these years news of these accidents reached Tokotna and Ophir too late for arrangements to be made fol other shipments.
 In both instances the information was delayed because there was nc means of communication other than by the convenience of chance travel CTS. The fact that this information could not be quickly conveyed to the districts concerned has caused serious loss to the merchants, miners and in habitants of the Kuskokwim river and the Innoko in general. There should be government wireless station at Bethel and on the upper Kuskokwim river. The lack of telegraphic com munication is a serious thing for so large a section of country with such possibilities as the Kuskokwim, Mt Mckinley and Innoko precincts.
 The winter mail service to the up per Innoko and Kuskokwim is fairly good-probably as good as can be ex' pected, but in the summer time therC is no service at all. Two mails wer: received during the summer of 1916 When navigation is open the mail ser, vice should be at least monthly. There

OPHIR AND TAKOTNA JOIN IN STRONG PETITION FOR MAIL SERVICE, ROADS,
 SCHOOLS AND MEANS OF C0AMUNlCAT Tl0N

Without mincing words, the
 residents of the Ophir and the
 Takotna districts, two of the rich
 est small digging districts in AL
 aska, which have produced over
 $3,OOO.O 900, have presented a peti-
 tiOn to the government, asking
 for roads from Seward to the
 Yukon, and better mail service.
 The petition is directed to the
 secretary of war, postmaster
 general, secretary of interior,
 delegate to congress, Judge Bun
 nell of the Fourth division, chief
 of the signal corps, |. .. A, and
 chairman of the Alaska road com
 mission. It has been circulated
 all over the two sections and
 about 400 names were signed to
 it.
 The petition sets forth clearly the
 condition existing in this great
 section of Alaska.
 The town of Ophir Is at the head of the Innoko river and is the chiet supply point of creeks that have pro duced in the past, and will continue for years to come to produce gold ir considerable quantities. To date something over S$,OOO,OOO has beer produced by this district which ma! well be called the home of the small miner" who by reason Of inc high values in the ground has been able tC mine at profit notwithstanding the many difficulties he has had to over come in the way of lack of tranSporta tion and communication, high freight rates and the like, all increasing tho operating costs.
 The town of Tokotna Alaska, lie. on the eastern side of the Yukon KuSkokwim river divide at the heaC of navigation of the Tokotna river. | is the supply point of a rapidly de veloping mining district on the KuS kokwim side of the divide and also t, a large extent supplies the InnokC district. Supplies are landed il Ophir by horse ScowS only, and il Tokotna by steam boats and gasoline power boats as the Tokotna river is always navigable during the oper season for these boats from McGrath Alaska, which is on the KuSkokwin river at the mouth of the Tokotns river-55 miles by water and 15 by land from Tokotna, Alaska From Ophir and TokOtna to points or Canes. Yankee and other creeks iT the InnokO district, the freight is or an average during the summer seaSor ten cents a pound by pack horses from either point.

 The club will now meet every Wed nesday and Friday and as there will be little routine business to transact will be able to spend a great deal of time in the practice of parliamentary law, which will consist of drills in the various motions and rules that occur in parliamentary law, according to the system outlined in "Gregg's Parlia- mentary Law" which has been adopt ed by the club as a book of reference.
 Great interest is being shown in this new club by both the faculty and the students and interesting political con- troversies promise to take place in the near future.
