ANOTHER AUTO STAGE LINE TO OPERATE ON
 GOVERNMENT TRAIL

The Burgess -Karstens auto line, which has been operating between Fairbanks and Nenana, will enter the transportation field on the govern ment trail, and cars of this line are now on their way between Fairbanks and Chitina, making arrangements to go on this run regularly.
 Cars will be stationed at both ends of the trail, assuring continuous line of transportation. Burgess will be sta toned at Chitina and Karstens will hold down the Fairbanks end. It Is more than likely that the Rapids road house will be the point of transfer. The roads are fast becoming dried out and should be in perfect condition by the first of the month, at which time the regular service will be inaugu- rated. The leaving dates will be an nounced later. It Is the intention of this line to start off with fare of $1OO, Fairbapks to Chitina, or vice versa. They anticipate no trouble in crossing the rivers along the trail, as by that time travel conditions will be such that the ferries will be able to cross the rivers without hitch.
 The Burgess-Karstens line has been in the transportation field for the past few years and has achieved a name for reliability that is one of the best mediums of advertising. Wherever this line has operated it has gained the good will of the travelling public by it's dependability.

Activity on Fortymile.


 E. R. Cooper, mining expert, is on his way to the Fortymile river where he will work a long stretch of placer property in the interest of the Forty mile Power & Dredging Company, a concern which was organized this winter in New York. It is capitalized at $5,0O0,000, and has taken over what was known as the Great Northern Mines Syndicate, which held the ex- tensive placer properties on the Forty mile which were familiarly known in Dawson and throughout the Yukon as the Davison properties.
 The holdings of the Fortymile Power & Dredging Company extend from the delta of the Fortymile river upstream to "the Kink", on the north fork, and include 460 placer claims along the river and thousands of acres of bench claims.
 The company's properties extend over a stretch of ninety-six miles along the Fortymile, covering twenty three miles on the Canadian side of the international boundary, and the remainder on the American. Aduortioo iY, fho nai1v Tinaea

In addition to aid ing in securing more water the pump will return that which has been used. K. P. Cosgrove and James Morgan have out good sized dump as the result of their winters work, but will be delayed some in their sluicing operations until the pump is installed as they, too, are short of water.

partners, on 23 Goldstream, are com pelled to build new ditch to a side stream in order to secure enough ''wetness" to run the dirt through the boxes. They had previously run ditch to another stream that was at one time a reliable source Owing to the light fall of snow this stream is practically dry.
 Sherrard & ,Co., laymen on St. Patrick creek, have encountered 8 very high reef of bedrock in their working shaft which will delay them in reaching the level of the pay chan nel. The reef was encountered at depth of one hundred feet. As the pay channel is about 140 feet from the sur face the laymen believe that they will have 40 feet of hard stuff to go through before they will be able to hoist out the pay dirt. This will greatly delay them, as the reef is hard to handle
 James Haney, on Steel creek, has moved his Howell drill, which has been working righ t along, about a mile further down the creek from where it located pay recently. A series of holes will be put down to oross-cut the valley to ascertain the extent of the pay on that creek and to see if the paystreak continues down that far.
 Owing to the scarcity of water on Happy creek the mining men there have found it necessary to resort to other means than the natural flow ot water in order to secure enough of the required liquid to conduct thei. operations. Ed Stevenson, who is op

Drill Holes Showing Pay

The drill holes which have been put down on Steel creek show that good pay exists on that creek. Mike Ra- kich. who will work claim on that creek the coming season, has small quantity of gold dust that was taken from the drill holes put down for start ing his working shaft. The holes were put down three feet apart, and from them was taken about $1.65 in dust. One of the holes had practically noth- ing in it, so the values may be stated as coming from three holes.
 Jack Sullivan will be associated with MT. Rakich in his venture. From all indications it is believed that good output will be had the coming season from the claim which Rakich and Sul- livan will work, the values as shown by the pannings from the drill holes being from $1.75 to $2 foot. It is only ninety-f1ve feet to bedrock, and within a short time dump will be out ready for sluicing. All the neces. sary material will be taken out to the claim shortly.

Pay Discovered in koyukuk


 The mining men of the Koyukuk are we'll pleased with the outlook for the coming year, as pay has been dis covered in three different localities The extent of the values is as yet un- ascertained, as the prospecting had not reached that stage which would divulge the extent of the paystreak It is believed, however, that the new discoveries will add materially to the output of the camp, as the streak lies on a continuation of some of the for mer rich producers.
 The region has been enjoying an ex- ceptional winter. Hardly any snow fell and there were but few storms. Those who had occasion to use the places it was almost bare of snow. I
 Some of the more enterprising of the residents in the Nolan section will engage in an agricultural pursuit, cutting native hay for the market and for their own use. Hay sold last win ter at $22O a ton at Bettles, which, when landed in the upper Koyukuk section, made it almost impossible for the average teamster to keep his stock, owing to the excessive cost.
 According to information given by late arrival from Smallwood creek, mining in that section is still going on Samson & Co., who landed their work shaft on good pay short time ago, are at present busily preparing to open up their ground and begin hoisting and sluicing. Two teams are hauling wood to the claim.
 Dan and Alec McCrea, formerly of Fish creek, Jack Cool, Billy Girtz and Jack Toole, inventor of the under ground scraper, have taken lay on ground belonging to Harry Grow and Charles Fisher of Fairbanks. It is reported that an underground scraper will be operated on this ground the coming summer.
