pay is showng up well, but is some what spotted like most Dime creek ground. Next him on No.1 Below, Mass, Glassrer, ,Hager and Modini are operating a self-dumper and have out about 2,50O cars.

He is preparing for ex- ct al., Porter and partners and Gun derson are using self-dumpers and are located on the left limit benches, as is Murray.
 "On No.2 Above Leonard and Jep- son are taking out good pay. On No.4 Above, Tice, Nordberg and Nell son have out about 7,500 cars of paydirt. They are using self-dump- CT and are employing 10 men. Den his Murray and Jean Dougherty, after extracting a good-sized dump on No 5 Above, with a wndlass, have quit, and are going prospect ing farther gown the creek. On No. 6 Porter and Valentine have out the largest dump on the creek, 13,50O 50-pan cars. They are in , excellent pay and have seventeen men working A self-dumper is used to pile up the dirt. Scotty Black and John Olson on No. 7, have out a dump of about 5000 cars, and are working about ten men. Several smaller outfits are at work, and all in all Dime has a bustling appearance that reminds one of Nome in early days. Dome creek between the Landing and the mouth of the river, did not turn out as l expected and has practically been deserted.
 ''The work of hauling the poles | from Peace river for the corduroy road is progressing rapidly end will
 be completed by May 1. The con
 tractor, Tom Evans, is delivering
 the poles and other material strictly up to specifications and distributing them along the roadway in fine

 who has a sub-contract for the
 hauling.
