A Beautiful Road

The trip to Dease lake from Van ouver is one of the most beautiful hat British Columbia has to offer First there is the coast journey to two days and three nights steamship from Vancouver. From Wrangell there is an excellent trans ,ortation service up the Stikine river y f1at-bottomed tunnel boats, equip ,ed with 90 h.p. gas engines, that ,eat their way against the four to ve mile current, carrying about fifty ons of freight. The Stikine has been .alled "The Child of the Glaciers, . everal of which reach down to the iver and afford truly wonderful scenery.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1924-05-15

Then one notices the beginnings |of the next stage, when tunnels were started to prospect and work the upper benches. But that was soon cut short, for the klondyke boom burst and away stampeded the crowd for the gold that did not need ma chinery and fumes and pipelines. Only a few men remained, and desui- tory work has been going on for many years-work that has shown good depths of gravel in the benches and upper channels, from which gold is being continually won by pick and shovel, just enough to keep man going, on the thousandto-one chance of happening upon a big nugget or a pocket, from hls mole hole. Good luck to them
 But such work does not represent lne claims of this district to be called a goldfield, although the evidence Of its real promise has been derived from it. There is probably far more gold to be won from the Cassiar gold field than it has yet produced, and that, by hydraulicking. There are large benches of gravel fianking the creeks that empty into Dease lake and river and they offer rich rewards 10 those who will provide the neces- sary equipment for working them hy- draulically It is in recognition of this opportunity that the Provincial Government has spent several thous- and dollars recently improving the
 oad into the district.

The town of Telegraph Creek is

The town of Telegraph Creek is |about 145 miles from Wrangell and 5 reached in about 51 hours. This is le favorite starting point for big game hunting expeditions, and it is also the distributing center for q large section of the northern interior IA trail to Atlin provides means for lIostal communication during the winter months. Telegraph Creek is |also the quitting post for travellers lover the Cassiar trail.
 This trail has now been converted
 nto an excellent wegon road for the whole distance of 72 miles to Dease lake. At the start there is a climb of about 800 feet and a fine view of the lkanyon of the Stikine opens out A trapper-prospector travelling over this road made the remark that it was "a pretty bum looking bit if dry country; but one cannot always be Thinking of fur and gold. The huge flows of basalt, the precipitous can- lyons, and the towering ranges in the background form picture not cas- lily forgotten The road passes through the old Indian village of ITahl Tan, at the junction of the Iriver of that name with the Stikine The Tahl Tan salmon is second to none in the world. Crossing the Tooya River, the road passes through
 woods of spruce and cottonwood across a high plateau to the valley of the Tanzilla, a veritable paradise for moose, caribou and bear. Fol lowing up the valley of the Tanzilla
 one reaches the Pacific-Arctic Di- vide, at an elevation of 3,2OO feet above sea level This is an insignifi cant looking stretch of swampy land about three miles across, from which the streams trickle down to the val ley of the Tanzilla and so to the Pa cific from the one side and down in to Dease Lake on the other.

spots that catch their fancy. is fair ly reasonable evidence that under proper means of operation the benches of these creeks can be made Ito pay, and pay handsomely. This, lat least. is the view of the Provincial authorities, who have sanctioned the provision of facilities for reach ing this district, which, had they been in existence in the old days, would have entirely altered the his- tory of this camp.

Opening the Gates
 of the Northland

Mans mastery of the great resources of Alaska would be impossible without great instrument of modern progress-petroleum and its products.
 Standard Oil salesmen went in with the gold rush. Since then eight distributing stations have been established. Consistently, this Company has pioneered in the work of delivering where and when needed the petroleum products essential to the fishing, mining, and other basic industries. Our eighth station, opened last year at Seward, has had the usual effect of reducing the cost of petroleum products and making possible important industrial expansion hitherto considered out ot the question. This has been due to savings in the cost of transporting petroleum products as result of the economy and efficiency of our operations
 Two ships, Standard Service" and Alaska Standard"--rnost modern electrc-drive Diesel mo- tor ships, built especially for the Alaskan service will make more than 26o visits to ports of call direct to customers this year-a considerable per- centage of these deliveries being in bulk to the customers storage.
 The high quality of Standard Oil products Red Grown gasoline, Zerolene oils and greases, engine distillate, Pearl Oil, commercial fuel oil, fuel for Diesel engines etc.-is dependable always and everywhere. Write our office in the Alaska Building, Seattle, Washington, or the nearest Standard Oil Station (shown on the map) for de- tails concerning our service in Alaska.

to 75 feet deep, with no large bould- ers and with no indications of ce- ment gravel. About 2 12 miles up the creek two bench leases have been prospected by drifting. On one, the McCrimmon lease, a tunnel was run along an upper rim for about 1900 feet, and, according to old records, as much as $1S,O00 was recovered in one day with eight men working. The average return must have been at least $20O a day, equal to about $50 a yard.
 On lease adjoining the McCrim- mon lease another tunnel was run by a Chinaman, cross-cutting the chan nel for about 400 feet. All this ground was held by Warburton Pike, the explorer, and Lord Beauclerc, and it was not until January, 1922, that it was thrown open, thus per hitting further investigation to be made.
 Drifting on the upper benches is no more than prospecting work; other means must be adopted for working the great bodies of gravel
 n these benches, and the one re, quirement is an available supply of water. While, by means of pick and shovel work in drifting, one could hardly expect to be able to handle more than about 10 cubic yards per day, monitor working under suf- ficient head of water and with prop er facilities for sluicing and dump. ing might be relied upon to break down at least 150 times this amount
 An Opportunity for Hydraulicking
 The attraction about the hydrau lie placers of the Cassiar district lies in the fact that water is available. There are two streams flowing into Dease creek about three miles above the benches that have been men toned One of these, flowing down Lyons gulch, is estimated to be able to supply about $50 inches at low water; and in Bucks gulch 1t is es- timated there is a flow of nearly 2.000 inches, Water can be deliver ed from the latter into the intake from Lyons gulch by means Of two mile ditch. This water can b, brought to point from which l 1.5OO-foot pipe line would be requir- ed to deliver 1t to a monitor under a head of 500 feet.
 There is here, without doubt great opportunity; one on'y' has t' go round with a gold Dag to satisfy oneself that there is gold; and the records from the work that has been done, as well as the encouragemnet that still keeps lonely prospectors digging away here and there in
The Wrangell sentinel., 1924-05-15
An Estimate of Costs

It is estimated that within the section of the creek covered by the leases, over a dis |tance of rather more than three quarters of a mile, there is au amount of approximately 100000 cubic yards of gravel. This would afford a supply for No. monitor, working under a head of 250 feet, for from three to four years, and the cost of operation would be about 7c h r cubic yard. Some estimate Of the possible returns from such oper ations is permissible.
 The cost of equipment. ditching etc. would be from $40, 900 to $50. 900, so that this ground would re. quire to average from 12c to 15c per cubic yard to defray expenditure Any estimate of value based upon the drifting work already done would give an average of at leas' $2.50 per ton for these benches. It is not suggested that such an aver. age would be realized, but enough has been said to indicate the wide margin that exists for profitable operation. A flow of 25O to 300 inches of water would be required. and the available supply is more
 han adequate.
 Under existing conditions supplies total cost of about $50 ton This includes $l5 a ton for coastal trans port. and $40 a ton for freightins by gasboat up the Stikine river.
 The Stikine river is open for traf fife about the middle Of May, and the last boat generally leaves Telegraph Creek about the first week in Octo- Der. However, once supplies are on the ground, operations can be con tinued for five months between May and November.
 Attention has been focused upon one example only of the hydraulick- ing possibilities in this district; there are many other ard these is trict of British Columbia will yet come to be recognized as an impor. ant producer of gold.

 HE CAoSIaR uOLDFIELD
 The placers Of the valley of the Dease river in northwestern British Columbia have yielded gold to the value of S5,OUO,00O, and nearly ali this amount was won by pick and shovel work. If an article were be- Ing written for the purpose of de- scribing these past operations, 1t would be fitting to entitle it The Old Cassiar Goldfield." The adject i've is omitted here, for the reason mat there are great quantities of gold yet unworked in the benches or the creeks that gave to this district the reputation it held some flfty years ago.
 The Cassiar Of Fifty Years Ago
 One almost needs to see the ola mining camp of Laketon, at the mouth of Dease creek and on the shore or Dease lake. as the writer has seen it, to understand the story and to realize the rush of those ola days when gold was being picked up from the creek bottoms. Coming to it, in its solitude, it is almost with awe that one picks out from the wreckage, the grass grown sites of dance halls and saloons, the Govern ment office with it's litter of papers and documents bearing dates in the 70's, the jail and gallows, the ceme- tery with it's tragic stories of hopes cut short; and, crowding on the townsite, the evidence of the twenty foot lots of playground that were par. celled out and fought for by the teeming pioneers.

long lake. Two or three years ago took about three days to cover the distance from Telegraph Creek; now, however, auto trucks do the journey in day, and motor cycle and side car has been from Telegraph Creek to Dease Lake in nine hours. Por- ter's Landing is the central Hudson's s Bay post in the district; there is an other at McDames creek about 20 miles down the river.
 Dease Lake is a beautiful sheet of water, and there is a satisfaction to it, lying as it does at the head wa CTS of the mighty rivers that flew into the Arctic Ocean. No more de llightful place to live in during the summer months could be imagined. and Laketon on it's western shore is la romantic looking spot.
 The principal sources of gold in the past have been Dease, Thibert, and MacDame creeks, with their tributaries. Between the years 1874 and 1895 the official returns for the gold recovered from this district amounted to $4,96S,5OO, of which Dease creek contributed $1,394,90O, Thibert creek $1,279,6OO, and Mac Dame creek s1,579,50O. Since 1895 several thousand dollars worth of gold has been extracted. Nearly all the gold has been won from the creek bottoms by pick and shovel work.
 It is said that in the early days claims on Dease creek averaged about s20 per day per man; one claim records 200 ounces for q weeks work; another records $2,700 for five days. Two men are said to have rocked 50 ounces in one day. and as much as $49 was obtained from one pan of dirt. In those days wages ranged from $9 to $16 a day, and freight on supplies was as high as s1,000 a ton.
