 SoIy creek is a promising looking stream coming into Michigan creek at No. below, left limit, Soeley and Hanson are prospecting at the head of Souy and ara reported to have uncovered good prospects.
 According to the returned stan- pcdere, supplies can be landed al the mouth of Michigan creek in the summer time by poling boat This makes but little land transportation to any point on that stream nccos- sary. Tho stampedcrs estimate that the d.s,aueo rom Flt-ianks to the head of Michigan crock by trail is approximately 1f2 miles. As far as McCarty the trail .s good; from , there on it becomes necessary for the traveller to break his own trail most of the time, although trail has been cut out from Clearwater roadhouso, twelve miles above Me Carty. From Clearwater the trail , leads twelve miles uD the left limit of the Panama, then crosses the ] stream and goes three miles further . up to the mouth of the Volkmar ) From there it goes up the Nolkmar distance of four miles and then Approximately as far again across the Volkmar flats. The head of Bear creek lies inst over the divide which is then encountered.
 All of the stampcdcrs who re | turncL to Fairbanks managed to SC ! cure a.ound in a number of good T places. They report, however, that Q the country is already widely staked Q A number of other stampeders going , into the Goodpaster were met by those who returned.
