EUREKA MINER IN FAIRBANKS
Jack MacCormack Comes Up From the Hot Springs Camp.
HE HAS CLOSED DOWN.
Another Season's Work in Sight for Him on Eureka Creek.
Having closed down his summer's work on Eureka Creek, Jack MacCormack, of the
Hot Springs, came up to Fairbanks yesterday on the White Seal on business. He
now will hustle around and return to the Springs in a small boat before the
frost puts a stop to river navigation.
MacCormack closed down his workings September 28th, although with the present
weather he would have been able to have worked indefinitely. Still he did not
have any confidence in the weather man. Another year's work is in sight.
This season just closed; the mining man employed a crew of 12.

ALABAM TELLS OF RUBY CAMP
He Predicts That the Camp Will Turn Out $400,000 This Winter.
TANANA, Oct. 1.--"Alabam" Laboyteaux, from Ruby, is a visitor in Tanana this
week. He speaks well of the new camp. He says there are about 1,500 people now
in the Ruby district.
Ruby has produced about $100,000 this year; of this amount $75,000 came off of
Long Creek and Bear pup; $19,000 or $20,000 came off of Trail Creek, and Glen
Creek produced about $7,000," said Mr. Laboyteaux. On Long Creek, the distance
between the first pay and the last pay is eight miles. There have been about 125
men working in pay all summer. There are about 350 other men prospecting around
through the district. Over on American Creek, a tributary of the Salatna, Jim
Kelly and a man named Eaton are supposed to have pay. They brought down $10 in
course gold to Ruby, which they had panned out. About 100 people have left Ruby
during the past two weeks for the Salatna.
"There is plenty of provisions in Ruby now to last through the winter. The P. C.
S. Co. have a cold storage barge there loaded with meat. The meat sells for 23
cents a pound by the quarter or side. There are now six saloons in Ruby. There
is considerable building going on in town all the while.
"There is a lot of new mining machinery now on the beach at Ruby and Mr.
Laboyteaux said he expected to see the creeks produce at least $400,000 in gold
this winter. There have been quite a number of transfers of mining property in
the district dduring the past few weeks. A number of Iditarod men have purchased
property on the different creeks.

JIMMY HAMIL COMES IN WITH STRING OF HORSES

hydraulic operations this [season?], returned to Fairbanks today bringing with
him the stock that has been used in the summer work.

CLEARY CITY ON THE RISE
Business is improving at Cleary City, reports Tom Rockwell, of the Igloo, who
dropped into the News office this afternoon, and it looks as though old Cleary
would be a busy little place this winter.
The increasing number of quartz mines opened and the number of men working
around the upper portion of the valley in hard rock is responsible for the
better business.
Rockwell reports that Paul Ringseth is going to establish a branch store at
Cleary to handle part of the business of the upper portion of the valley.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
D. L. SQUIRES IS RELEASED
On the grounds of self defense the charges against D. L. Squires accused of
cutting with intent to kill, wound and maim, were dismissed when the preliminary
hearing was held this afternoon in the commissioner's court.
The charges grew out of a fight occurring last Wednesday night near the Turner
Street bridge by Squires and Jack Hendrickson, who had been working on the D. C.
dock. Hendrickson's nose and mouth were cut and he was stabbed in the left
breast. The evidence show that Hendrickson started the fight and that Squires
gave warning that he would use a knife if Hendrickson struck him.

PERSONAL MENTION
Assistant District Attorney John Knox Bron has been granted a 30-day vacation,

office.
~~~~~
Anderson & Johnson, who have been working 50 men on 14 below Cleary this past
summer, closed down on Sunday, after having cleaned up 125,000 square feet of
bedrock. A shaft is being sunk on the right limit and a winter dump will be
taken out. Next summer they plan on hoisting from three shafts and employing 75
men. They expect to be busied on the claim three years longer.

HURJA STRAYED OFF 20 MILES
Monk Murphy, Frank Young, Capt. Smith and Abe McCord, who have returned to the
city from a hunting trip up the Little Chena, report that it was their camp
which Emil Hurja, the Times reporter visited when he was lost the first time,
rather than the Staples wood camp, five miles away. He was then 20 miles off the
Hot Sprigs trail. The next morning the hunters took the reporter down the Little
Chena river in their boat to the 14-mile house and started him off on the trail
again.
Evidently he wandered away and was lost a second time, for Johnston, of the
Colorado roadhouse, hearing that Hurja was missing, came all of the way down to
the 14-mile house to meet him, but did not see any sign of him.
The hunters say that evidently Hurja lost his way in some of the big meadows
where the road is pretty well grown up with grass.
They think that before this he must have picked up the right trail again or been
discovered by someone. The newspaperman had only a sandwich and a camera to
sustain him to the next roadhouse.
