PAY CROSSCUT ON 7 BELOW

Drill on Lower Ester Shows Pay Worth $1.75 to the Square Foot.

CROSS CUT THREE TIMES.

Henry Crook Will Set Up There After Finishing on 8A Below.

Pay, the demonstrated value of which is a dollar 75 per square foot of bedrock uncovered has been disclosed by the operations of the Keystone drill of Craig, Estby & Crook on the new Henry crook lay, situated on seven below Ester Creek, which work is now at an end.

Not content with cross cutting the pastry once, the drill has sunk a series of holes which cut the pay three times, sinking in all 11 holes in the money and for out side of it. The shafts put down by the drill on to pay streak gave an average of $.40 to the whole.

Mr. Crook took the lay on seven below Ester from Jessen and Berry some time ago, and now that he has demonstrated the value of the tractive ground he is to open, he plans to install a plant this fall and after sinking a working shaft to block out the money. In this he will employ a crew of about eight men, although greatly enlarging the crew next season when hoisting directly into the boxes.

At present the miner is operating on 8A below of Ester, where he is employing 35 and 40 men. When he finishes on 8A below, which will be in about six weeks, he will move upstream to seven below.

FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED OUT

Smoke From Salmon Curing Operations Was the Cause of the Alarm

After weeks of inactivity, the fire department was called out last night to attend to an alarm turned in about 10 o'clock for the Phil Nelson house on Fifth and Kellum. The clouds of smoke rising in the vicinity, however, proved to be from a smoke house on the premises, where he was curing a supply of dog salmon.

BOB JENNINGS ON HIS WAY

If there were time left the candidate would visit the Iditarod, but he has to choose between that camp and Nome, since he cannot visit both and so has selected Seward Peninsula.
