Lake Creek Prospects Float Optimism Amid Work Limits
J E OReilly and G G Percival report from Lake Creek that further time will realize prospects, with hand mining only possible now and hydraulic gear needed for serious gravel movement. OReilly expects pick and shovel workers to earn about 5000 this summer from the bars, while upper Kahiltna trips suggest yields of 30000 to 40000. He notes several productive creeks omitted from his tally. The United States advertises for 2500 Chinese laborers for the Panama Canal, with white and black workers showing little interest.
