The strike is said to be exceptionally rich and the airplane Is now engaged in taking in men and supplies. Once more the hearts of the local prospectors are throbbing from he excitement of a placer mining strike which promises to equal that of D8. The arrival of Mickey J. Brown ind Alvln L. Loveseth with two carloads of equipment, was followed by one of the big Canada Airway alr-nlanes dropping quietly on the ideal landing of Bums Lake. Men andJ machinery are being moved with all possible despatch to McConnell Creek which the old timers had worked and abandoned, with the exception of ePfe Jensen of Hazel-ton, who has held down his claims for over 20 years. Working the claims to fair advantage, the old timers were un-uccessful in reaching bedrock, al though they had every confidence In the prediction of one of the greatest of Canada's geologists, af ter whom the creek was named. History of Field As early as 1906 much fine gold was taken from McConnell creek, but efforts to reach bedrock were unsuccessful and news of a new creek carrying coarse gold, running tntoOmlna-seUa caused stam pede to the many tributary creeks of the Omlneca, some of which ave been producing steadily ever since. After several years spent in pros pcctlng McConnell Creek and the Ingenika River, M. L. Brown inter Med Alvln L. Loveeeth of Camrose and T. Savage of Peace RJver, the narty reaching the diggings by Une and taking advantage of the low water in the late fall succeeded in reaching bedrock, and established beyond a doubt the existence of a large area carrying coarse gold. Failing to connect with their plane for the-J trip "out" they "mushed" over the tough traU, fording the Omlneca, thence down the Driftwood to Tak-la Lake where Mr. Savage succum- bed from the hardships of the trip THE DAILY NBWfl NEWS OF THE MINES AROUND PKIiNCE RUPERT Two Hundred Men to Be Empoycd in New "Gold Rush" Activity in Ingenika Planned Wood- a St 1 4 ! fiStwUimCiiUay! vperaie gani bc started as soon as possible and. as soon as the water is available, i the Portland Canal district under development of the placer ground will be undertaken. The new interests plan operations on the same creek as that on which Pete Jensen of Hazelton has been working for a number of years. Jensen is planning to take a number of miners into the district either this month or early next month and he proposes to work his two placer leases on a much larger scale than before. He is now arranging for a plane to take in his men and supplies. Jen sen says there is a lot of gold In the preparatory work was completed, this including building a flume more than a mile long from the south fork of Germanson Creek to near the ground it is proposed to work. During this winter supplies have been hauled In over the snow. The McCorkell holdings there con sist of seven miles of creek leases. It Is proposed to shut the water out of the creek and then hydraulic the bottom. A tailings stacker will be used at the start and the material will then be washed through sluices. Last summer as many as sixty men were employed at times by Mr. Me Corkell. the work Including construction of a'sawmlll. Production is expected to start by June.
