WILLOW CREEK
LOOKING AHEAD
TO GOOD YEAR

Due to faith, hope and perserver-
ance by the prospector and Eastern
dollars, the famous Willow creek
camp is rapidly coming into its own
and substantiating all predictions,
says a recent issue of the Anchor
age. Times. The eyes of the mining
world have turned towards Willow
creek and the men with money have
seen the light. Closely following
the important deal closed recently
for the Gold Cord quartz property
comes another one of similar i'm
portance.
A deal has been closed for the
Miller-Bartholf properly on Craigey
creek and what is more to the point
the actual cash changed hands. w.
F. Rock, of Denver, and W. S. Horn
ing, of Willow creek purchased a
interest IN four claims from Dave
Miller and Charles Bartholf and the
four men are now equal owners in
the property. The discovery was
made last September and the claims
are located on Craigy creek, about
two miles south of the Gold Bullion
mine.
The prospect is one of the best
in the district and the partners will
spend several thousand dollars de-
veloping the property this fall and
winter. They are prepared to install
stamp mill and are making ar
rangements for improvements and
developments on a large scale for
next season.
Mr.. Rock is from a gold mining
country and has considerable ex-
perience in the mining game in
Cripple creek and other Colorado
camps.
