If ARROW ESCAPE ON TRAIL
■
C. E. Still, a Dawson print, ar
rived from Dali river a few days
ago. Still narrowly escaped death
by starvation on the trail, which
would have been his fate but for
his meeting while lost the survey
party sent out to locate a trail from
the mouth of Dali river to the
Koyukuk. He and his partner,
Ed Wise, arrived at Dali City, 80
miles up the river, June 6, and'
cached a large outfit in a cabin
there. Having no camp stove, they
cooked by a camp fire. While ab
sent from camp the cabin caught
fire and burned to the ground, de
stroying all their stores. They lost
everything, including over $300 in
currency. The men made for the
Yukon; got separated and lost.
After meeting the survey party
they secured sufficient provisions
to last them to Rampart. Still
states that Hatch & McNamer, the
well-known Koyukuk mining men,
are piloting the surveyors across
the country.
Jack Nelson is aboard the Her
man, now on her way from* St.
Michael, with a big stock liquors.
General Manager Washburn of
the N. C. Co. is expected on the
first up:river N.C. boat on his way
to Dawson.' j
The Van Vliet is laid up at Ft.
Gibbon for repairs. Her boilers
are practically worn out. O’Day
& Myers have taken a contract lor
temporary repairs.
A recent arrival from Dawson!
states there is a growing belief
there of an amalgamation of the!
N. C. Co. and the N. A. T. & T.
Co. interests along the Yukon. In
this event the N. C. Co. would be
the only concern left on the river.
Miners! send in your name to
the Miners Protective Association,
an organization for miners only.

The What Cheer bar boys expect

sented at the miners mass meeting
at J. C. hall Thursday night.
Frank Stevens, S. Sinclair, Ed.
Ferguson and Anderson & Olson
are among the mining men in camp
from over the divide.
!
C. I. Jordan arrived from Eureka
yesterday. Jordan made a strike
on the bar between Skookum and ■
Seattle creek.' His pay is 9 feet
thick from surface to bedrock, and
will lange from 25c to 75c to the
pan. A ditch 3,000 feet to Skoo
kum will give him abun 4ance of
i i
water. I
1
The Hunter hydraulic operations |
are proceeding with great vim.
Two shifts are kept busy and the j
dirt is being rapidly washed off. j
| The present flume and ditch is be-!
ing taxed to its utmost capacity to
I carry the water to supply the giant,
j With the installation of three more
giants, as outlined by the new com
pany, another ditch or flume must
be constructed to carry all the wa-1
ter in the creek at a higher eleva
tion than the present one. L. M
Davis is looked for by the lessees,
Stoel, Ott & Swanson, at anytime.
Davis on his arrival will buy all
rights and leases from the laymen,
and proceed on a more gigantic
scale for the new company.
