THE KOTOKOK
! On his way to the Koyukuk, Dan I
iel Webster *s registered at the 1
^ifth Aveune Hotel, and will remain
"a 'own until the first boat goes dowi
ihe river.
Speaking to a representative of the
Alaskan, Mr. Webster, who is an old
fine prospector whose knowledge of
ifln'ng is first class said: "The Kov
"kiik country ? very little known on
pccount of " e distance of the dig
gings from the main route of trawl
>\i the Yukon. There are perhaps
wv hundred men in all in the coun
try, and these mostly stay the y ? ar
around. The ground 's fair but there
is nothing w.nderfullv rich yet discov
ered. A man by the name of Fisher,
'<Lo has a hydraulic plant over on
Myrtle Greek seems to be doing fair
ly well, and several other propositions
o' a like na'ure may be opened lat
Although Mr. Webster is not par
Uularly en'huiastic over the outlook
n the Koyukuk, still he has conf:
dr-nce enough "i it to return and will j
spend the nex year or two prospect :
ir.g in that region.
