Moore Creek Placer Prospects Draw Backers and Options
Reports from Alaska detail T Perry and Fred Osterholtz backing Moore Creek ground with options totaling about 82 000 dollars. Ground lies on the rim rock two to four feet deep, with pay on Moore Creek and Fourth of July creek areas. Nome mining veteran Charles Densmore calls it a top placer proposition as camps grow near Discovery and Takoma. Ground covers 2060 to 5000 feet with leases held by Zimmerman Meyers Folsom and Kells, promising early returns next spring.
