The silver dollar is a Democratic dol

We alWays said it was too light, but
as light as it Is, Greenbackers would
have it much lighter. Its lightness is
the cause for its accumulation in the

ESKA COAL MINES NOW
EMPLOY FoRTY-FoUR MEN

ANCHORAGE, April 10 Especial to
Daily Times) Three thousand, six
hundred and ninety tons of coal were
produced and an average of ninety
men was employed in the past month
at the coal mine operated by the
Alaskan Engineering Commission at
Eska. The output and force will not
be so large in the summer months as
they were in the winter.
Work at the commissions coal mine
at Chickaloon continue to be of a
prospecting character, and the small
production is merely incidental to
prospecting work. Forty-four men in
the past month were on the payroll
of the Chickaloon mine.

pelt measures II feet from tip to- tip
and the animal stood as high as a
mans shoulders. The wolf was killed
by a trapper named Michael de
Michel He was running his trap line
with two dogs and sled when he
noticed a pack of wolves attempting
to surround him. He unhitched his
dogs and sent them home and climbed
tree which was surrounded by the
wolves in short time. This was
playing right into the trapper's mitt,
and he killed three of them including
the big fellow. Getting down from the
tree he skinned his kill and hiked for
home. The pelt of the large wolf
brought an excellent price.

.MUCHACfIVlTY
in MINING AT
FAIRBANKS

FAIRBANKS, April 1.-THE CON-
ing summer will witness considerable
open-cut mining an upper Goldstream
and Pedro, judging from the large
piles of cordwood which have been
placed on the claims Of these creeks
and also other preparations which
have been made. It is believed that
the production Of the yellow metal
this year will equal that of last year.
Harry Atwood, it Is reported, will
work his claim on as large a scale
this year as last Blocker & Collins,
on 10, will also be up to their last
years work. Leo Rogge, on 9, will
operate with as large a crew as last
summer, while above Rogge Henry
Wagner, who uses several large boil
ers in his scraping operations and
consumes about 1000 cords of wood
during the short season, will work
the usual crew there.
Charles Gius will also work his big
open-cut on Gilmore creek. Several
outfits are at present sniping out
small dumps along old Pedro. There
is one luck miner on that creek
Charles Krisha, While he was drift
ing on the old Deruchia claim, at the
mouth of small draw which comes
in there on the right limit, he ran
onto some rich pay. Several different
men had staked a claim at the mouth
of the draw and prospected it since
covery on that creek which put Fair
banks on the map as a mining camp.
The claim had been abandoned
several years until the lucky Charles
relocated it. On examining the
records he discovered that the claim
never had been put on record-the
several prospectors who had located
the ground, not having found any sign
of pay, did not think enough of it to
record it. Mr.. Krisha dug deeper than
the former prospectors, going nine
feet into bedrock and finding very
good pay and drifting beneath the old
prospect tunnels where nothing had
been found. Krisha has four men en-
ployed blocking out his ground and
will put on large force of men the
coming season.
At present on Goldstream there are
several winter dumps. On Ford's
claim, No. 4, Jack Livingston, Paddy
Morgan, Bill Williams and Tom Ward
have been working all winter taking
out good sized dump. Bob Staples
is taking out small windlass dump
on g. Andy Nyland and Joe Contra
are working on 8. Matt Larson has
been working on his own ground and
has taken out a Windlass dump
single-handed. Farther down Martin
& Verdin also have out dump, while
still lower down Thomas & Co. also
have large dumps out ready for
sluicing.
Down on the Diebold claim, 22
there's a dump which reminds one of
the early days and at the mouth of
Engineer creek, where Val Diebold
and several partners have been min
ing all winter. Gus Peterson is max
ing preparations for working several
men the coming season. Joe Murphy
is prospecting on q again this winter.
