Prospectors drill in Good News Bay for rich platinum camp
Fifty individuals sink holes along creeks while a dozen drills pull blocks by modern methods. Early returns suggest sustained Platinum activity with estimated 900000 dollars in platinum mined to date and 500000 dollars in new machinery arriving this summer. Olsen holds a 4 half million dollar government loan as a dragline is added. Results by late fall will reveal if Good News Bay becomes another Klondike or just another Alaska mining rush. Social life brightens with new faces amid old camp contrasts.
