oIDTIMER SAYS KoYUKUk
 NEEDS MORE PROSPECTING

Notwithstanding the fact that the Kovpkuk is an old camp, with many Of it's creeks punched full of holes, there is promise Of much new pay being found in the years to come, in the opinion of Harper Workman, well known oldtimer of the far northern district, who arrived ln Nenana on the steamer Teddy H., enroute to the States to pay a long deferred visit 10 relatives He is going to drop in on g brother whom he has not seen for more than forty years and plans to return ln the spring to resume operations on the paystreak which he uncovered early this year .. -.:s: ... :.@@
 Mir. Workman believes the South Fork of the Koyulluk is Q promising field for prospecting and in this be- lief he is backed by the opinions of Government geologists who have wis tied that section. There are pay streal1s there, the oldtimer declares, but it will take prospecting 10 find them.
 Mir. Workman admits that he has some very good ground in the Koyu- kuk but says the report of his cleanup for the summer was over estimated. He took out enough to pay his bills and give him trip Outside and he probably would have had homestake had the cold weather held of. He has refused an offer of s20,o0o for a half interest in his claim. =-:
 Weather conditions were so bad in the Koyukuk this year that all the gardens were failures, potatoes being about the size of marbles at harvest time. Usually tae gardens produce abundantly, notwithstanding the fact that the camp is almost in the shadow of the North Pole
 Notwithstanding the arrival re- gently of a number of Koyukukers, there will be about 75 men in the district during the coming winter and there will be considerable pros pecting done.
 Mir. Workman, in company with Robert Mcintyre, John Wool, Fred Swift and Bob Buford, made the trip down the Koyukuk river to Alatna in a small boat They found the steamer Teddy H. disehargine cargo at that point, the water being too low for the boat to proceed farther up stream.
 Mir. Workman will leave for the States tonight.

There is a feeling abroad throughout the country that a change in government is immi- nent but just what the outcome will be no one can say. Max says the German mark is way down in value, $50 of them being required in exchange for an American dol lar. 4 suit of clothes costs 5000 marks. The people of Germany are wonderfully optimistic in spite of demoralized conditions and are en- gagged in constant effort to solve the problems brought upon them by the war. .=~.
