 On Gold Pan Greek

Bob Martin returned tu Nran- gel on the last trip of fhe Hazel B No. after spending several weeks in the Cassiar Mr. Martin reports thaf while he was in the vicinity of Gold Pan Creek he St. cured options on two claims owned by Jack Niekery and another miner
 amed Moody He also staked eight other claims which had been allowed to iapse by their former owners. Martin now controls all the ground along the creek from No. 17 Above 10 No. 27 Above Dis eovery.
 Mir. Martin says that he believes Gold Pan Creek was not given a fair trial by the men who rushed in during the excitement of the 1925 stampede He tried fhe ground in several places along this part Of the creek and found prospects which warranted the staps he has taken to secure the rights to the claims
 In his opinion. the creek could never have been worked by such primitive methods as sheyeline into sluiee-b boxes. He believes. however, that by using an auto matte dump box. or some othes means which obyiates the Use of hand labor. the ground can be min ed at a profit.
 Martin reports much snow OF the summit between Hotel Camn and the valley of Little Eagle H. also reports that some parts of the Dease Trail are a little bit soft an6 that the first truck into the lake had encountered some hard goin in the vicinity of 13 Mile and ?

 In Time to Save Life

He reports a likely country for the prospeetor but as serts that if would take a lifetime 10 properly explore the section that he visited Both men came to the Cassiar during the Gold Pan ex- citement
 Sometime during the winter Smith made q sidetrip over to the Muddy country Ii was while he was on this trip that he ran across a lone miner who had become snow bind
 Smith told his partner that he first discovered one of the miners horses lying in the snow under spruce tree. Smith helped the ami anal 10 its feet and followed its tracks to a cabin on one of the tributaries of the Muddy. He knocked at the door and receiving no answer, opened it. The cabin was dark but he heard a voice say, "Close the door quick. I'm snow blind"
 The miner had come to the Mud dy with three horses and expected 10 winter them on wild hay. He had put Up hay the fall before but it was too far away from the cabin When the snow began 10 drift the horses were unable to go to the hay. Two of the animals died dur ing the winter and the man had been carrying hay on his back for the one that remained.
 When he became snowblind the horse had to do it's own foraging The owner of the stock was also on the verge of starvation. He had nothing but a little flour and some tea.
 Smith killed a moose and packed it into the cabin This meat. to- gether with some provisions which Smith had on his sleigh left the unfortunate miner in more com fortable circumstances.

 Many Wrangellites will remem- Der Mir. Eastman as an elderly man who was frequently seen about the streets some two years ago taking motion pictures with a small automatic camera which his com pany manufactures.
 MT. Eastman visited the famous Cassiar hunting grounds at that time and enjoyed very successful hunt. He is more enthusiastic about hunting game with cam era, however, and during the past few years has photographed the wild game of two continents.
 1OOpGAy h nO AS d liCGloGu Aids kan guide, has been very energetic in boosting the Stikine and Cassia hunting grounds and it was thru the correspondence which he he carried on with hunters that he se- =red the position of guide to thu

Geological Survey of Coast BathOlithic
 Belt to Be Made

Df P. 4. Kerr of the Canadian Geological Survey. arrived in Nrangell Tuesday morning oh tbe Princess Charlotte with a party o1 1our men 10 resume the work of mapping the upper Sukiue.
 The party is made up of Dr. Kerr. Mrs. Kerr. Fl. C Howard. (. Lord. j. Pyke. and A. & Holland Mrs. Kerr will accompany her husz band To fhe Clearwater
 The purpose of this survey ae= eording 10 Dr. Kerr. Is To define and map what is known among seoloeisfs as the Coast Batholith belt This Bathoithie belt is known To extend from a point as far south as the mines at Granby 10 the Atlin district, where the coast range swings west Miner alogists believe. and all the eyi- denee points to the conelusion thaf a richly mineralized area will be found along the contact between the coast batholith and the intru- siye rocks of the interior.
 Dr, kerr.s work will consist Of mapping this contact and describ- ing the geological characteristics of the country through which it 9sszs. For the present the Cana dian Survey is concentrating it's efforts along the nayigable streams and such other districts as are i'm mediately accessible tO the pros De Tor and available To transnorta- lon
 This department will soon be in a position to supply typogfaphical maps to prospeetors and miners who wish To be informed of the mineral resources of this belt The maps will be scaled two miles Co the inch.
 The survey party is equipped 1.ith several sltifes ana six horse power Johnston outboard motor. They will make their first camp near The mouth of the Clearwater and work downstream.
 Dr. Kerr remarked that the coast contact runs parallel to the Stikine for a considerable distance. Preliminary surveys disclosed the faet that fl crosses the Seud River some five or six miles from its mouth taking in much of the country contiguous to the river as far ap as the Devils Elbow and the Clearwater. This district is iavorably regarded by all of the geoloaists who have visited the up aaf Stikine.
 t is unfortunate for the coun- " in general and for NrangelI in pafti ular, that more prospectOrs cannot be found who are willing to sake a whirl at this promising sec 1ion Of the SGkine and it is to be
 onaa that the information which the Canadian government is about to broa deast will attract the attenz ton of experienced lode miners who are looking for new territory.
