CARMACK WRITES OF
SILVER CREEK RUSH

Writing from Silver Creek, un-
der the date of April 8, to a
friend in Seattle, George W. ( Car-
mack says:

“Tarrived here on April Fool
Day, and from all indications it is
a fool trip as far as Silver Creek
is concerned, There have been
some holes put down to bedrock, |,
with poor returns; justenough to
show thereis gold in the country,
Ihave not had time to look a-
round, and I am fixing up snow-
shoes so I can take some trips
over the mountains, so I can get
a lay of the country. I believe
the country will be good,’ but
good pay has got to be found.

“Prospecting is unsatisfactory
this time of the year. A lot of
of the boys are going to leave in
a couple of days, but I am going
to stay and give the country a}
good test, I want the hoys to
get value received for their mon-
ey; the country looks good, andl
think it is good, but everybody
should stay away until further
developments. As soon as I get
anything that I know is good I
will send you a wire, The trip
thas been expensive, as every-
thing wentup 50 to 100 per cent,
I managed to get four dogs at
Skagway and one at Carcross;
they cost me about $40 each. I
had- three sleighs in my party,
with three dogs on each sleigh,
We went from Careross to Atlin
in three days, and in seven days
from Atlin here (Silver Creek).

“The trail tis not bad only on
some of the portages, but it is
very crooked, you meet yourself
half a dozen times coming back,
The best way to come in herai in
the winter is to go to Tagish,
then east to Lake Teslin, then up
to Teslin. The country from
Tagish to Teslin is level; there ia
plenty of game in the country
and we will not go hungry, even:
if we run out of the Chee Chaco.
