They cleaned Up about thirty ounces the first cleanup of the season, and in this lot was the largest nugget so far from the creek. a nice three and one-halI ounce slug. They have five years work in sight. and after that they have a fine hydraulic proposition right where they are. On l. ?. above, Ike Zierke and Olson Broth CTS are getting ready to shovel in They have done a considerable amount of dead work and from the prospecting that they have done feel sure that they will take out neat little home stake this year. Tommy Elliot and the Williams boys are working on the Elliot ground on above and are in ground now that prospects well.
 Further up the creek Capewell and Thoms are about ready. They have been whipsawing out lumber and getting ready to mine and are, I presume, by this time about set up and ready to go.

LATEST NEWS FROMV
 CASSIAR GOLDFIELDS
Gold Pan Creek Showing Up Better All the Time.-Much Activity In
 Dease Creek Section

Reports are beginning to filter down from the upper river relative to the mining activities in that sec ton. and most of the reports reach ing Wrangell concerning the placer fields of the Cassiar are very favor able This year has been 9 very early season and as a consequence work is further advanced than the most optimistic could wish for. The first steamer landed at Telegraph Creek this year about six weeks
 arlier than last year and found the Dease Lake trail in passable eondi- lion. Outfits were rushed out to were getting into the hills a year go. work was well under way.
 Frank J. Cotter, the Alaska Week ly newspaper man who spent last year in the Cassiar and returned this year for further investigation arrived in Telegraph Creek last week from the Muddy River district and while waiting for some replies Co wires sent outside came down to Xrangell to purchase some needed supplies has the following to say regarding the Cassiar.
 Tt looks like this year will be the best year that the Cassiar has had since the close of the boom days in the early sos. There are more men in the district than at any pre- vious time and if you will notice. very few of them are coming out, and I don't believe you will see many of them until about the close of navigation in the fall. The season is well advanced even for this time of the year. Grass is good and man can take a pack train and go any place and be sure of his horse feed.
 Dease Lake Trail in Good Condition
 "The weather has been cold and more or less disagreeable. but it is improving now, and I look forward to a pleasant summer. The Cana dian government has a good crew of men on the Dease Lake trail and already 1t is in better condition than it was at any part of last sea son. I came in from Dease Lake to Telegraph Creek last week in nine hours on the Morrison stage, and that is considered speed in that country. The caterpillars and trucks are making regular trips and with a few weeks more sunshine, the road will be a boulevard.

Good Results on Palmer Creek

lover in the Palmer creek section We have been doing mostly prospect ing and with results that are very satisfactory. High water has held us back a bit, btu We moved further up the creek and have been spend- ing our time on North Fork and Hall creek and from indications seen, 1 feel safe in saying that some place on the Muddy or Tarnigan. you are going to see a big placer camp. There is gold all oyer the country: it is practically impossible to get skunked in a rqn of dirt and some one is going to locate pay streak some place some time soon.
 "Falknor and Logan are pros- pecting on Hall creek and will put on an automatic dam later in the season.
 We are planning on putting an automatic dam on the North Fork on the Miami lease and will doubt less install another one on Palmer creek on the Baby Mine lease. If they are successful. we may possi- bly put one in on the Cadillac lease on Hall creek as 1 am convinced that the automatic dam is the solu- tion to prospecting in that section. By it's use four men can do the work of fifty and at the same time you will get to see more bedrock in season than by any other method and then the expense is so low that it is the practical method. We have the timber, the water and the grade to the creeks, and I believe that their installation will demonstrate the gold values in the gravel.
 T will leave on the next up river steamer for Telegraph Creek and then back into Palmer Creek where I will be until about August first.

More Prospectors Needed

Take it all in all, the country looks good. It is the best looking placer country that I have ever seen, and all it needs is prospecting and prospectors. If we just had two thousand digging prospectors to turn loose in that Cassiar for the next three months. you would see real placer camp and one that would remind you of Fairbanks and Daw- son and the Iditarod. Without the prospectors, it will take longer but the result will be the same, sooner or later they will find it and when they do, you will see the camp; but right now the need of the Cassiar is more prospectors and fewer knockers. There are not enough o' the former and too many ot the latter"
