Nuggets Shine From Kahiltna Streams Aided By Seward Prospectors
Reports corroborate Paul Buckley estimates that upper Kahiltna creeks may yield about 4000 in gold this season. T. R. K. Wilson and partner J. L. Jones returned with 1000 in dust from Cache creek and cite rich shows on Nugget and Willow creeks. Wilson lists other paying streams including Poor Man's, Dollar, Thunder, Peters and Golf, noting Herndon and Jacobson and Billy Morris plan large cleanups while risked work continues on several creeks. Prospecting in the Kusko region draws attention as routes from Seward and Cook Inlet are outlined for winter and summer travel, with claims near the upper Kusko attracting interest and copper deposits noted.
