According to the letter it has been learned that a man took thirty-seven and a half oun- ces of gold out of it in an in- credibly short time last fall. The creek is all staked, “Millionaire” Kelly, who iis well known about Juneau and re garded as reliable, is at Silver Creek. He says al! is staked as is Moose Horn creek near it, At present no one is doing any work there, but everybody is waiting for spring to come, Kelly says provisions are not high in Atlin and the demand does not exceed the supply.
