WORK IS PROGRESSING
 ON LITTLE ELDORADO

Work on the Idaho association on Little Eldorado is progressing nice ly, and those who are working the ground feel that the coming sum- mer this creek will make the usual good showing. This ground is owned by w. T. Burns, and for the coming season will be operated by Sater. Brevig & Co. At present the ope- rators are busy pumping. as the shaft fills with water caused by an overflow.

there Is plenty of wood, moose and caribou, and we can raise all the spuds. cabbage. celery. carrots. beets and rutabagas and caulifower we can eat. It will be a summer and winter camp, as the ground is frozen except at the leads of the gulches and creeks. Mespelt & Rhude. ir one pup-27 feet to bedrock and frozen--have 12 feet of gravel run ming from one cent to three cents on bedrock, which is granite with no skunks. Some two grain pieces.
 HI. E. Carter. on the next pup has pay also, then c. Ansio above him on the next pup has thawed ground and is able to get down un til he can run up drain. He has banned as large as 20-cent nuggets and two and three grain pieces Then below Mespelt & Rhude. Ed Whelan, John Griffin and Evan Jones have five feet of gravel that aver ages 3 cents in shotty gold, and this at the extreme head of the pup where it stands on end. These pups drain into Hidden creek on its right limit Hidden at its extreme head averages ten cents to the square foot from rim to- rim. Mespelt &. Rhude are now down 51 feet on ten below on Hidden with wood fires. They and others are now rustling small prospecting boilers to take in there.
 q was offered $2.O00 cash for a half interest in No. 6 below on Hid. den and there isn't even a hole on 1t.
 Then just over a low saddle from the head of Whelan's pup Is Ruby creek, at the head of which Charley Pearson has dirt that runs as high as 30 cents to the pan. He has another hole in which the gravel runs from one cent at the top to ten cents on bedrock, and there Is large body of 1t. Smiling Albert, George Walters and other are now sinking further down the creek. All creeks are from three to four times deeper than they thought.
 Then on Mystery creek. which parallels Ruby, Chas. Goebel. Ko- neitzko and Hochreter, (the Subma- rine Group) have just landed boiler and a ton of supplies. They are just starting to prospect this creek, which pans as we'll as any at It's head. Then there are three or four more long creeks that head in this granite blowout that have not got 8 stake on them at this time. This intrusion is through limestone. There is granite porphyry, quartz diorite, cinnabar and slate, which looks good to everybody. 1t certainly looks good to me. 1dey have enough now to make small camp, and there IS LO u1y CclldlA huOWlSuSc dI lcdSl | 30 to 40 miles more of this granite intrusion to the head of the main Nixon and Novi, which is granite.
 From Aitken is busy with three big teams hauling the 470 tons of dredge, etc, to Candle creek from McGrath. Then over the divide from Candle crek, Blackburn, Eldridge, Shutter and Woldin have pay on Karl creek and expect to employ from 25 to 35 men if they can get them. So. taking 1t all together, Lynn, 1t doesn't look bad around here, and you better make your sailing for here early.
 "Will you please show. or read this (if you can), to Coke Hill, Andy Webster, Bill Amalong and Dr. Good. This will save me much writing, If they are not all tied down they had better take a run over here and look around. Yours truly, "W. F. GREEN"

FIRST AUTHENTIC NEWS NOW
 RECEIVED CONCERNING LATE
 REPORT C0ODNEWS AND DIXON

Recently there was published in The Citizen news of strike that had been made in the Goodnews river and Nixon Fork. In the last down rvier mail we received the letter that was written from the scene of the strike to- a party in Ruby. This letter substantiates the news of the strike and sets forth in full all that can be learned at this time about the new discoveries and those who are in that district at the present time. The letter, yer batim. is as follows:
 "Takotna, Alaska, 1-20-'18. Lynn Smith, Ruby.
 Dear sir:
 First l want to tell you about the Goodnews river strike. My in- formation comes from Frank Joaquin, of the K. c. Co.,, and his from c. A. Fowler, his partner at Bethel, so it is direct.
 When they made this strike and came to Bethel with the first gold to get more grub. Fowler. Opsjon and three more took the K. c. ocean tug and pulled out for Goodnews, 80 they were the first ones on the ground after the original strikers, who were six men who had been trying to take out a grubstake on the Kuskokwim Bay side. A native from Goodnews river, of whom the other natives said He no good; no fish, all time hunt gold,' had been over where the six were working and watched them pan. Some days after he came back and showed them his prospects from the Good news river. Well. the six took some grub, shovels. picks and a pan and went over there. They found they could pan more than they could shovel in where they were working. so they got busy and staked seven CD claims-one each and one for the native. They returned and packed six sluice boxes ten miles on their backs and what grub they had left and got to work. After prospecting they found they had pay on only three and a half claims, so they consolidated the seven claims each taking one-seventh undi- vided interest, as they reasoned that as they were partners they should divide 1t equally. That is how they came to combine all their claims and why they did not stake any more. Well, Fowler and the bunch could not find any more either on the pay creek or adjoining ones. so they did not put in stake even. Fowler has written his. partner, Frank Joaquin, in this last mail and says that is all there is even now and the pay is located like this. (Here follows rough map showing the lay of the creek and other data with the notes: Box can yon, sides 35 feet perpendicular, 60 feet wide, and 8 per cent grade, two to four feet to bedrock).
 "The money is at, or above. the upper end of this box canyon, and as the creek valley widens out above this canyon the pay gets less until it ceases to be pay. It runs $4 per square foot for a claim and then tapers out to nothing. Frank Lot sold his one.seventh for $25,000 cash and Butch Smith sold his one.sev- enth and Curley Smith and Joe Jean for $5.000 cash and balance on bed rock. There is no wood. but measly little willows to be had, and the wind and the rain is something ter rife. The camp can only be worked in the summer. so it will be small one at the best.
 But, Lynn, we have a better one right here on the Nixon Fork, where

CREEK PEOPLE HAVEPLEASANT
 SOCIAL PARTY

A most enjoyable card party and dance was held last Saturday night at Little Eldorado when the ladies of that vicinity invited all the bach elors on the creek to attend.
 Cards were indulged in until mid night, when the prize winners were announced. The first prize went to Louis Larson, who was awarded a handsome nugget stick pin. Pete Pearson, who was close second, received souvenir spoon for his efforts. The consolation prize went to Miss Anna Wig.
 Following the awarding the priz- es. the guests were treated to a most delicious lunch, after which dancing was indulged in until five o'clock in the morning, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the forty peo- pie in attendance.
 During the evening much enjoy ment was had by the impromptu quips and jokes that were bandied about, mostly at the expense of the bachelor boys.
 The bachelors are very much pleased by the recognition they re- ceived from the ladies on the creek, and will back them any time to liven things up during a dull season.

QUICK ACTION
URGED IN CAMP
General Tells Men How to
Act in Emergency.

CAMP CODY. n. NJ, Oct. 9.-The
lesson of speed-the lesson that is be-
ing impressed upon recruits in the
army's cantonments--is stressed in a
sc ries of epigrams originated by Gen
eral John A. Johnston, commander o.
the saith division at Camp Cody. -.
Two Of the generals war winning
epngrams Impress the need for quick
action. And that is the only subject
treated in the epigrams that received
that much attention. Here are some
of the generals pithy sayings;
In everything we do time counts.
Be in control OF your sub-conscious
self.
Never cease to exercise every OBJ.
servant faculty.
There must be a purpose behind
everything we do.
Everything should be done in the
minimum OF time
Never forget that loyalty to duty Is
loyalty to country.
II is sometimes better TO be a game
loser than ar over-proud winner.
No alibi should ever be attempted
whenever there is a duty to be per
formed.
1t is a good thing to be told "f duty
well performed. A little over-praise
coesn't hurt.
The manner in which n soldier per
fe rms his thousand and one duties is
the outward and visible indication OF
his inward state Of mind.
