REORGANIZATION or ALASKA BUREAUS
Hope and Sunrise

In the Hope and Sunrise district Mr Stewart said he found consider able work being done. The Hershey quartz mine at the head of Palmer Creek had good year and there are several more good propositions in the district. There is a company going in on Six Mile Creek that is at the pre- sent time employing about twenty men and are preparing to go into the placer mining game on big scale. In the Hope district there is considerable mining on Resurrection Creek.
 The Coal Fields
 The Evans Jones coal mine near Eska, is now producing a good grade of coal and shipping to Anchorage. The company has completed a spur track a mile long to their mine and are able to send coal to points on the railroad by carload lots. Phe price is $750 at the pit mouth.
 Having mined enough coal for the use of the Railroad Commission for this winter, the Eska mine, operated by the Commission has been closed down temporarily at least. It was not desired to take out coal and let it lie outside to become claCk. Most of the miners and their families are remain ing at Eska.
 At Chickaloon where the commis- sion is developing mine for which the money is furnished by the navy, work is going steadily ahead. A fine grade fo coal is mined here, accord ing to MT. Stewart, and it is planned to use it for steaming coal for the navy.
 The government coal washing plant at Sutton is nearing completion. The power plant is almost installed and the machinery is at Anchorage for the washing plant It is planned to not only wash coal from government mines but for private ones as well at this place.
 Speaking of coal mines, MT Stewart said he also visited mine at Homer where ther is mine at tidewater. The owners, McNally and Mullen are doing considerable mining here. They sell coal at the mine at $5 ton and furnish boats and canneries. The coal is a very good grade, MT. Stewart said.

TERRITORIAL. MINE INSPECTOR
 MAKES REPORT
After Exhaustive Examination, Terri toriaI Mine Inspector Stewart
 Says Girdwood Strike Bunk

| The report Of the rich strike of ore bearing fabulous values of gold and other minerals at GirGwood, on the l Government railroad rot far from An chorage, is pure bunk in the opinion of B. D. Stewart, Territorial Mine h. spector, who recently returned from examining that district, according to the Juneau Empire.
 "Te rumors sent out in regards to the strike at Girdwood were unfortu- nate to say the least" MT. Stewart said There is absolutely no basis for the belief that there will ever be any mines where it was reported. There are only stringers of quartz that are of little value. The report of the strike and the failure of the claims makes it bad for the Girdwood districe proper, which is an established camp where good pay is taken out of Crow Creek California Creek and other creeks.
 Many people stampeded from An chorage and other Alaskan cities when the richness of the strike was reported" MT. Stewart continued, left their business affairs and invest ed money for outfits, only to find that they were chasing a strike that did not exist. This did harm to the whole district
 i Makes Mary Visits
 Leaving Juneau more than six weeks ago, MT. Stewart went directly to Anchorage and from Anchorage to the Willow Creek district. He return .. ed from Willow Creek to Anchorage and then went to Girdwood and exam ined properties on California and Crow Creeks and from there went to the mining camps at Hope and Sun rise on Turnagain Arm. He returned to Anchorage and from there visited the coal fields, after which he left for Juneau, visiting the copper mine at Latouche.
 Willow Creek.
 In the Willow Creek district Mir. Stewart said that examinations that he made leads him to believe that the contrary to the general belief, the veins there are deep seated although they are not large This will, he thinks go towards making permanent camps. He found the Ready Bullion the larg- est producer and other properties working were the Lucky Shot, Milo KeIly's Mabel, the Hatcher property and what is called the Talkeetna mines.
 On the Hatcher property new mill was built this year and the mine is one of great promise. Poor mining and milling at some of the mines in this district have retarded it's growth.
 Girdwood.
 At Girdwood. MT. Stewart examined what was supposed to be the rich
  nothing there to base any claim on it's being a mining camp any time. He was, however struck with the great mining district near Girdwood on Cal ifornia and Crow Creeks, and found there the greatest placer camp per haps in Alaska. On Crow Creek, Holm gren and Denhart, old-time Nome min CTS are taking out lot of gold by ny draulic. There are other propertles there that have great merit ln ms opinion. On account of this being such good district. the touting Of the sup posed strike at Girdwood on the rali- road was particularly unfortunate thing, acording to MT. Stewart. as 1t has done the whole district consider able harm.
