STIKINE MEN DEVELOPING
 CLAIMS

Walter Julian arrived in Wran- gell Tuesday afternoon on the Hazel B No. ? from Jackson's Landing where he spent the winter at his ranch on the Stikine.
 At the present time he and Frank Jackson are occupied in improving the trail into their quartz properties on the Clearwater, five miles from the mouth of the Stikine. The two men have done over two thousand dollars worth of development work on this group of claims which they located in 1929. They have a silver. lead, gold proposition which in normal times would undoubtedly be of interest to many mining con cerns. The assays run high and the group is most promising.
 Julian reports that Big George" Drapich ran one prospecting tunnel in 75 feet in the Drapich group of claims on the Stikine which he and five others are developing this sum mer. A second tunnel is now in 15 feet and good ore has been en- countered.
 Jack Steele who is prospecting the Stikine bars is getting encourag- ing results. much beyond what he had anticipated.
 T. H. Taylor of Vancouver who located a group of claims on the Clearwater adjoining the Jackson group, will be up soon to do his assessment work.
 Never has there been so much good ground showing up on the Stikine as at present, Julian said, and never have prospectors had so much difficulty in getting backing as at the present. But with the un- failing optimism of the prospector, the men are all sticking and going on with development work, be- lieving that the mining depression will not last forever and their turn for good times will come soon.

NEWS FROM MCDAMES
 POST

The Sentinel Is in receipt of a very interesting letter from Joel Wing written at McDames Post on June 6 just before the Wing party left on the last of their trip, thirty-mile walk to Quartz Creek. where they will work on the de velo ment of the Wing mining pto2erties. The party included MT. and Mrs. D. L. Wing, Joel and Walter Wing, Stanley Jekyll. Van Fisk and Harry Evans. Joers let ter in part follows:
 "As you will see by the date of this letter, we have made very fine connections. Stanley Jekyll's river experience was made use of-he was captain on one of the two boats we hired for our trip down Dease Lake and Dease River.
 John Campbells body was found this spring just below Cottonwood Rapids, in Dease River where he and John Ensor were drowned last fall. The body may not be taken from the water until after police investigation.
 "A boat arrived just now from the Liard with Dalzeil, who is mak- ing trip to Seattle and Oscar Am derson who is going on to Dease Lake to get supplies. Anderson set few traps the past winter, but because of scarcity of fur took them up and decided to take 1t easy for one winter.
 Everywhere the trappers had very poor catches, so with the low fur prices and heavy snows which fell continuously, the trappers had a very discouraging season."
