Gold is beginning to flow from cleanups of Interior Alaska mining properties. - The Fairbanks Gold Dredging Company has made its second cleanup of the season. Sluic- ing has started in the Livengood district. Among operators who have cleaned up dumps in the Livengood country are Alf Andre- sen and the Oregon Mining Com- pany on Little Eldorado; Jack Lahti and Company, who have a lay on Henry Cook’s ground on ' |Dome, and William Canning and Morton Phillips, on 8 below, Dome Creek. George Forselles, known in early days as the “Swedish Count,” has returned to Alaska to search for gold.” He passed through Fairbanks recently with Dr. Harry P. Reed, former Alaska dentist bound for the Koyukuk. Forselles is credited with - having discovered gold on Candle Creek north of Nome in July, 1901. Later on he was in the Kotzebue, Koyukuk, Kobuk, Nodtak, Chandalar, Fairbanks and Southeast Alaska districts. He left Alaska in 1017 and has since mined in Arizona and California, making his home at Berkeley. Dr. Reed also left Alaska some years ago and has since practiced den- tistry at Berkeley.
