Mining DEAL IN
KANTISHNA IS
PUT THROUGH

An important mining deal, involv-
ing very large extent Of both placer
and quartz ground, was put through
recently at Nenana.
w. R. Taylor has been given an op-
ton on the Anderson-Hjelvik prop
erty, on Caribou creek, in the Kan
tishna country, involving seventy-two
placer and eight quartz mining claims.
An option also was taken on the anti
mony property on Stampede creek
belonging to Finke & Christensen.
The first payments, in taking up the
option, were made. and amounted to
$500 on the Caribou creek claims
and $4,000 on the anthony claims.
and the latter payment represented
the last installment in an outright
purchase of the anthony property on
Stampede creek.
1t Is expected that active mining
operations on a large scale will be
commenced early in the spring.

quietly and industriouhly digging,
and the surprise was mutual. But
evidently many of the stampeders
were much impressed by the possi-
bilities of the countless fine looking
creeks, practically all of which are
known to be bearing, az viewed
by their experienced eyes, from the
low ridges which divide the Salchaket
and the Shaw rivers.
The old Salchaket country has far
better showing, as far as a gold camp
making in Alaska goes than had Fair
banks or the Tolovana or several
other camps of the north which have
made good by stampedes and it has
also many other advantages, principal
among which are its nearby supply
points and it shallow ground. It's
pretty safe to say that it's poor
stampede that BODIES no good. OBJ
viously the latest one to this promis-
ing field, thouh small in comparison
to the other stampedes which took
place from Fairbanks to that section
since the early days, 1t nevertheless
has started omethin"-aroused in
terest and renewed interest in many
old-timers at present here and else
where in Alaska who took part in
some of the aforesaid stampedes when
only rich pay, like Cleary creek, would
receive attention and when only SUI
perficial prospecting was done. The
systematic manner in which those
three typical Alaska sourdough min
ing men are going about their pros
pecting at the head of the Sa1cachet
and the Shaw rivers is surely deserv-
ing of pay streak. Anyway, such CO.
operation and thoroughness is bound
to get definite results one way or the
other So taken all in all, though
distant pastures always look green,
that section is about as good pros
pecting bet as can be found anywhere
in the North. 1t would occasion no
surprise among the old-timers if this
same old "Salchaket country" in the
near future attains the dignity Of a
camp. You never can tell-Fairbank

SALCACHET IS
COUNTRY OF
POSSIBILITIES

In the springtime the Alaska sour
dough prospector's fancy invariably
turns to thoughts of the elusive pay
streak-his feet begin to itch and,
judging by the quiet, businesslike
preparations which have been going
on around town the past couple of
weeks among which could be noted
many signs, indications and activities
which are peculiar to Fairbanks at
just about this time of the year. when
old Sol begins to climb and thaw
everything and everybody out, such
as getting together of dog teams, out
fits in which picks, shovels, windlass
ropes, ETC., were conspicuous, all of
which, taken in connection with fire.
quent trips of dog teams to and fro
between here and the Salcachet
would cause an old-timer to feel GER
tain that the nearby and accessible
gold-bearing district was surely soon
due for considerable prospecting, not
to mention all the development which
has been steadily progressing up there
under the hands Of the old-timers who
have stayed with that section.
Evidently this renewed activity is
the result of the recent stampede to
that section. OF course the return
ing stampeders reported that nothing
had been found to justify a stampede,
for when the first stampeders arrived
on the scene of the supposed "strike
which was going to make a camp" all
they found was three old-timers-
