The Wrangell sentinel., 1925-12-03
(Alaska Weekly)

Right now there is more interest in the Cassiar mining district in Northern British Columbia than has been shown in any new district dur ing the last decade. The strike made on Gold Pan creek last fall by Ford and Grady attracted great deal of attention at one time and last spring there was quite a small stampede into that section, and when the stampeders found Gold Pan and vicinity pretty we'll blank eted, they spread out over the coun- try and the result was some very good looking creeks located and good pay was found on some of the older and better known creeks. Some ma chinery was rushed into the coun- try late this fall and will be in- stalled this winter and in operation next season. There is a great deal Of work being carried on this win ter on Thibert, McDames and Dease creeks and with the opening of navi- gation in the spring there will in all probability be a good sized rush into the Cassiar and the district will get the best going over that it has had in years. during the coming season.

Palmer Greek
(Bellingham Herald, Oct. 30)

A new ruSn Into the CaSSlar mln- ing district is predicted for next spring by O. C. Palmer, 142S Frank lin street, who recently returned from the scene of the Alaska min ing rush and who will leave Bell ingham for the goldfields about De- cember l.
 MT. Palmer is one of the diseov- erers of the Palmer creek fields, which are described by the Wran- gell Sentinel as the latest sensa- tion."
 This district was first visited by MT. Palmer, who for many years was in the electric light business at Wrangell, nineteen years ago. Four years ago he went in again. Not being a seasoned prospector howev- CT, he did not realize the value of the property The last trip he made was with Ralph Hall, now of Santa Monica, who recently visited Mir Palmer here on his way to Califor- mia. He and MT. Hall staked out thirteen hydraulic leases on Palmer creek, covering a distance along the creek of six and one-half miles After stalking the leases. they re- turned to Wrangell.
 A short time ago a miner whose name MT. Palmer does not know went into the district and after making an investigation was so inn pressed that he staked out three hy- draulic leases himself.
 Frank J. Cotter, of The Alaska Weekly, Seattle, who recently made a trip into the Cassiar district, call ed on MT. Palmer here yesterday. He declared there is more gold in the Cassiar than any place he has ever seen, and he has been in the North most of the time in the past twenty years. He expressed him. self as being enthusiastic over the prospects of Palmer creek. which is a tributary of Tarnigan river and is located about sixty miles east and somewhat north of the head of Dease lake, being about six miles from the forks where Hall creek comes in. The creek is located in what he described as a good look ing placer country, and coarse gold. but no nuggets. was found every where banning was done Mir. Cot ter predicted that Palmer creek as hydraulic creek. would be good producer.
 MT. Cotter also was pleased with the Gold Pan diggings, where an unusually good season is at its close. One nugget weighing four ounces and another of two ounces were found there.
 The Palmer leases are under op- tion to Robert Martin. of Seattle. who will be one of a party of about six, which will leave December l for the district to make thorough sur vey. Among those in the party will be Mir. Palmer, MT. Hall and MT. Cotter.
 The Palmer district is about $50 miles from Wrangell. In summer the prospectors go part way by riv- CT, but this winter the Palmer par ty will go from Skagway to Atlin by rail and make the rest of the trip of about 150 miles with dogs.
