| Oh luC uANAuc uCtWCCu mAhC I1cSS and Livengood creeks. c. H. LaBoy. teaux (Alabam), together with Henry Crooks and Al Pauli, is doing con- siderable work endeavoring to bring the water from the Mike Hess side over to Livengood. This is large project and will take great deal of labor, money and time, but if ever completed will be the means of en- larging the gold production of Liven- good so that it will equal the pro- duction of any camp in the territory.
 Bob Menzie's properties on the end of Livengood and which contain more than a million dollars in gold will have to remain idle until the Mike Hess water is diverted AMY CREEK
 On 4 above, Amy creek, Jeff Neil son is opening up for hydraulic work.
 John Hermanson & Co.,, toward the mouth of Amy, have been operating very successfully during the past sea son and have now just finished with their present block of ground.
 Louis Enstrom & c. l.. Carlson have opened up quite cut at the mouth of Amy, on the right limit bench and have found very good pay but they too are seriously handicap ped by the lack of water.
 John Mattison is opening up at the mouth of Amy, with crew of five men. He is drifting and reports good pay. He intends to enlarge his ' crew as soon as conditions will per. init.
 LILLIAN CREEK
 At the upper end of Lillian w. J. B. Barker has been operating un. der the open cut method for the past few years and is doing little bet ter work this year than in previous years by reason of his ground being in better condition to work on a larger scale. MT. Barker has just completed very commodious dwell, ing on his claim and already has it surrounded by beautiful garden. Associated with Mir. Barker is Sam Godfrey.
 on the upper end of Discovery and is now making preparations to open up a new piece of ground on Lillian. Sampson, Morin & McCarty have been doing a lot of good work on discovery, Lillian, this year and are just commencing to run the dirt thru the boxes. The ditch which they con- pleted last fall at cost of $S,5OOOO and which extends little over two miles up Livengood creek is proving satisfactory and with a little rain good results may be expected as this ground is of known value and good cleanup is anticipated there this fall. On Ruth creek H. I. Miller is the only one working and lack of water and heavy boulders is greatly retard- ing his hydraulic operations but he is doing good work under the circum- stances.
 OLIVE CREEK
 Over on Olive creek, Teddy Hud- son is doing excellent work. His ground prospects exceptionally good and his production this year should be better than any previous cleanup made on that property.
 Mike Beegle has just completed a new residence for Teddy and of which he is very proud.
 George Wheeler is disgusted with the way the rain falls on Olive, as all the work that can be accomplish. ed. must be done with water. MT. Wheeler has a large area of ground to work and is very impatient at the long periods of dry weather.
 Jim Hudson is more fortunate than a great many of his neighbors. He has built ditch, conveying the Wa ter from Ester creek to his workings. This ditch is to be continued up to Cleary creek, and when completed he expects to have sufficient water to move three times the quantity of dirt than he has heretofore been able to do. His ground prospects we'll and this summers cleanup should meet with his expectations.
 On Ester creek, Axel Palmgren and Olander have done enormous amount of work, since the opening of the season, this year. Last winter they moved a boiler on their property and are getting rid of the heavy bould- CTS by hoisting them out of their cut. They expect to move considerable dirt this summer, and have advised that their ground prospects satisfac- torily.
