George Riley Returns From Tolstoi Country
George Riley, a Dike man aboard the Prairie Belle, returned last Wednesday from Tolstoi where he oversaw operations on Boob Creek. He notes Emmet fraction work paused due to drift sloughing, with paystreak under the creek bed thawed to a distance. The plant is being moved to a discovery claim and other creeks show activity, but most prospectors have left the district. Riley expects renewed prospecting in the fall.

It notes a strong Seward to Iditarod mail trail, mushers sometimes endure eleven or twelve day trips, and suggests raising weight limits to six hundred or eight hundred pounds to improve mail delivery, especially with triweekly service in Fairbanks.
