FINDS UNIQUE
EARLY DAY PROSPECTOR
A unique relic left by pros
pectors in the Portland Canal
section long before ithe days of
the Klondike gold rush and al
so before Alaska had become
known to the World as a land
of vast mineral wealth, was
discovered by Danny Hume of
Stewart while prospecting near
the head of Georgia River a
few days ago.
The memento of the early
Argonauts is in the form of a
message carved upon the
utump of a long-cut tree and
reads as follows:
“Came up river July 8. Down
river 2d August. Cache at big
rock left thi|3 notice. 1 shovel
i 1 pick 1 saw 1 axe lpair hip
boots some <camp stuff, finder
help self.”
The message is dated July 12,
1891 and bears the names of
C. J. Benzer and A. F. Cotters.
The stump upon which the
43-year old message is cut is
(that of a mountain hemlock
and is splendidly preserved de
spite the long years that have
passed since the primitive mes
sage was carved upon its face.
Mr. Hume endeavored to lo
cate the cache referred to but
was unable to find any trace of
it or the indicated contents.
So far as known the ancient
, communication is the oldest
evidence of early-day prospect
ing activities in this section.
No< other prospectors are defi
nitely known to have been in
the district prior to May, 1898,
when a party landed at the
present site of Stewart enroute
ito reported placer gold fields
in the interior.
