Word of a strike in the kantis;lna portance. was brought here by George A. Parks, who has just re- turned from his annual trip into In terior Alaska The strike was made by Joe Quigley on Copper Mountain about the first week in August, when some gold content which is reported to have assayed very high.
 Mir Quigley arrived in Fairbanks just prior to MT Parks departure for the coast with samples of the ore He reported that there had been stampede into the dis trict by prospectors in the Kantishna and many claims would be staked be- fore winter The new find is locat- ed as near as can be determined from meagre descriptions available. inside the boundaries of Mount Ne Kinley National Park. It is believs1 10 be somewhere in the headwat ers of Stoney Creek and west of High way Pass.
 Second Find by QuigIey
 This is the second discovery made by Mr Quigley in the Kantishna The first was sold by him after years of prospecting and some development to Tom Aitkan. who, after taking out approximately $500.000 worth of ore, abandoned the claim without doiue further development work. Follow ing the sale of his first property, MT Quigley, in 1919. renewed his pros pecting confident that he would un- cover something big in the same dis trict Although reluctant to say much concerning his newest find. he told MT Parks that it was better than anything yet discovered in the Kantishna and was causing consider able stir among the men there.
 It is situated on what is known as Copper Mountain, about 20 miles south and east of his first discovery on the divide between Friday and Eureka Creeks, tributaries of Moose Creek It is much nearer the rail road than the latter property, prob ! ably within 45 miles of rail transpor | tation and a road could be construct ! ad to it without excessive costs, it is said

 Brooks Strike Reported
 Mr. Parks had nothing definite on the new placer strike in the Liven good district other than was reported recently in The Empire. He said that he understood that it was made on Wilbur Creek about 10 miles above Livengood Creek on the Tolo- vana River. He has asked for ad- ditional information from the Fair banks land office.
 Water Shortage interferes
 In the Livengood camp proper, placer mining operations were great ly curtailed again this year, owing to serious water shortage. Last year similar lack of water was eX- perenced and many dumps taken out in the winter of l919-20 were left un- sluiced last winter. A similar drouth this summer resulted in dumps not
