are operating with their own money. They have been quietly but persistent ly developing the region, which is just across tn divide from the Iditarod and northeast of that district, for several years, spending many thou sands annually of the output of their producing properties in Iditarod in the work Aiken and Walsh are among the richest men made by the Iditarod goldfields. Al Walsh has been the
 leading individual operator on Flat
 reek for years where he employees from 50 to 75 miners on his placer property Tom Aitken with whom he is associated with in the Kuskokwim country, made fortune on Cleary creek Fairbanks district, in associa tion with Frank Manley, Henry Riley and others before he went into the Iditarod, where he secured very rich properties and sold them to the Yukon Gold Company, usually referred to as "the Guggenheims."
 Those who have been following the operations of these practical men believe, in the light of the word re- ceived from McGrath by Gov. Riggs, that one of the richest of Alaska's gold districts will be developed in the region about McGrath on the Kus- kokwim.
 Tom Aitken, Tom Kirkpatrick and others who are interested in the Kus- kokwim country, have also made very promising quartz discoveries near the headwaters of the Kantishna, which is across the divide from the Kuskokwim developments. They took a large quantity of supplies into the Kantishna district from Fairbanks late in the season, carrying them as near their properties as river steam CTS could take them. They will be hauled from the terminus to their properties during the winter.

RICH COLDORE IS UNCOVERED
 IN KUSK0KWIM

Telegrams received by Gov. Thos. Riggs, Jr., bring from McGrath on the upper Kuskokwim river the story Of great discoveries of very rich gold quartz on Nixon Fork. The quartz runs as high as $2,O00 a ton, and big tonnage is said to be in sight for distance of more than mile and quarter It is said that millions Of dollars worth of this ore will be shipped to the outside with the open ing of navigation next June. Work will progress all winter Among those in on the Kuskokwim quartz discoveries are leading mining men of the Alaskan interior, including Aiken, Walsh, Whalen, Pearson. Mes palt, Kirkpatrick and others.
 The telegrams from McGrath also convey the news that the Aitken dredge on Candle creek, also tribu- tary of the Kuskokwim, produced over 100000 in placer gold last sea son, working at only half capacity. It is expected that it will take out half a million next season.
 Telegram to Gov. Riggs
 Gov. Riggs has just received the following telegram from Dr. w. F.. Green, United States Commissioner at McGrath.
 "The Candle creek dredge produced $300,OOO, working at half capacity.
 Aiken on Nixon Fork is down 65 feet with crosscut 25 feet. The gold is increasing with depth. It is now running $2,OOO to the ton. They will ship 1000 tons of high grade ore next June Steam hoists and com pressors will be working December 18th.
 "Whalen, one mile southwest from Aitken, will ship 200 tons of the same ore.
 Pearson, between the two, has the same ore for the length of full claim and a half.
 "Mespelt, located northeast of Ait ken, is down 45 feet
 Big tonnage is in sight now for a distance of a mile and a quarter.
