Ai <i l he INv\\ s I p I5iv<r.
Mr. Johnson, who arrived with
the horses and sleds, two d ivs 1 atei
than Mr. (')reutt, will stay in Ram
];nt fcr some time. In speaking <
Lis trip he said: “While in Che.
1 became interested in some Wash
: lgton creek-property. which 1 be
lieve is good. t he principal tribu
taries are ca led, California, Last
Chance, Calahan and (lol l Gulch.
Lee Riggs, LaBree, Smith and an
other man are the discoverers. Over
25 men left Circle for Eagle to re
rurn to Washington with grub, ab
out the time we left. Dan 1 “King’’
Calahan got in cm the creek and it
is said that he with two o’her men
took the recorder out with a horse,
staked claims all over the creek and ;
forgot to pay the recorder. The
“ King” says he gave the fellow a
ride and that’s enough. !
By ti e way he got that title by
marrying the Chief's daughter at j
Circle She is a squaw and lias
t vo daughters i6and i a years old.
s le is also a sister of Minook of
Ramp a t. The family are good
workers making the best parkies
and mitts on the river, ttie "King''
sits with his feet on the table and
s.mle.s when he thinks of the i
tons ot ilour and other things, in
the cache, which go with the squaw.
'Hie wedding in October was the
biggest time tvu- had in the camp.
Hamilton and Brown were present
and the commissioner tied the knot.
, Ot all the good fellows I’ve ever
met the whole lot in the cabins be
tween Ft. Yukon and here are
about the best. Nothing was too
good for us and this fact took away
many ot the hardships of the long
trip.
Pete Dode and Jack McDonald, 1
who ame into Circle before we left,
claimcto have prospected 100 mil s
of the tributaries at the head of the
Tanana and found good prospects
all the way.
All the restaurants at Circle have
closed because of no provisions; a
man who came from Dawson with
20 tons of provisions for the Tan
ana, was about to open one—better
than a gold mine.”
