SURFACE SHOWING OF
 NEW STRIKE IS EQUAL ID FAMOUS BONANZA

(OUCCldl u A4AC 1dGSWdyJ
 The most important strike made in years in the Mccarthy district has been uncovered by Martin Radovan on Glacier Creek about two miles above the discovery made by Chick Nelson last year. Radovan has stripped Il feet of four and one-half foot ore with an out crop 100 feet further ahead of the same body, of new ore never before found in Alaska, called Tehiderite and containing grey copper with chalcopyrite, en- ergite and chalcosite, carrying high values in gold and silver The find was made about 200 feet above the contact of greensboro and lime in what is known as Chittistone lime. On the same properties, cobalt and molybdenum has been found. Assays are be- ing made at Kennecott and sam ples have been sent to the Ta- coma smelter.
 Several oldtime mining men of this section remarked that the surface showing is equal to the famous Bonanza mine. There is no longer a doubt but what the Glacier Creek lime formation will show another big copper pro- ducer similar to Kennecott hold ingS.
 Radovan staked this property about the same time as the Mel son strike and, unaided, has built trails and done development work on one of the most rugged pieces of Mother Nature ever tossed up, where others would not venture. "A precipice thousands of feet high with overhanging glacier, paths like mountain goat trails, upon which, in many places, one has to crawl on hands and knees, is the game that Radovan played to prove the riches hidden away in the most inaccessible of places ever built on this universe.
 In the Bremner mining district, there are about 18 people pros pecting for gold and doing devel- opment work on claims now To- cated. Some shoveling in has been done and ordinary wages made. On several properties good prospects are being banned but the bedrock drians have not been completed so that bedrock can be reached. With the work done the prospect is good for another camp where placer mining can be carreid on; as yet the benches have not been touched. The gold is coarse and heavy, with some nuggets. The only creeks so far prospected are Monahan and Col conda, on this side of the divide. It is reported that there is a party on the little Bremner, on the coast side, and that they are get ting encouraging prospects.
 The Banner Brothers quartz To- cations at the head of Golconda Creek are being developed and showing up well. This property was recently inspected and ex- amined by Asa Baldwin, who holds an option with others.
