SEATTLE, Sept. 28.—Far be it
from D. A. Murphy or A. Cloutier, of
Nolan, Alaska, to boast of their home
town, but—
“ The Koyukuk produces more gold
per capita than any other section of
Alaska. Likewise it is purer gold—
worth $19.20 an ounce. And also the
nuggets are larger than those found
in any other section.” That’s what
they had to say about it.
They left the Koyukuk last year and
have spent the summer in traveling
the United States. The reason they
left in the spring is that the Koyukuk
is a winter camp—that is, a place
where the gravel is hauled from fro
zen depths in winter and the gold is
washed out of it as soon as the snows
begin to thaw.
“ The Koyukuk district has an aver
age population of from 150 to 250,”
said Nolan. “ There never has been a
year when it has not produced at least
$1,000 to the man. The biggest nug
gets in Alaska come from the Ham
mond river, and next to that is Nolan
creek, which in the aggregate, has
produced more money than Hammond
river.
“ The Koyukuk has dredging and
hydraulic mining possibilities, too.
There’s Billy Glenn and ‘ Cap.’ Haynes
and Judge Howard, who have just
gone in. They’ve taken a drill with
them, and they’re going to find out
how much gold lies in the gravels of
the South Fork of the Koyukuk river.
They believe the higher benches of
this stream will lend themselves to hy
draulicking and the stream bed itself
to dredging.
“ It’s quite some little jaunt into the
mining region of Koyukuk. The gold
fields are situated 600 miles northward
of the Yukon. That is, the start of
the gold fields is that far. The outer
rim of the fields is still farther. And
freighting is a little costly. The rate
is $90 a ton from Yukon river to Bet
ties, the metropolis of the Koyukuk,
and thence from 7 to 10 cents a pound,
according to the part of the field to
which it is do be delivered.

“ The Koyukuk, however, has one
drawback. Men who go down the
river in boats have a habit of disap
pearing, and never being heard of
again. This condition is somewhat dis
turbing. There is a well-grounded
suspicion that a number of departing
Koyukukers have been murdered.”
CHORAL CLUB TO
PRESENT A CANTATA
The Anchorage Choral club has re
sumed activities and announces re
hearsals for every Tuesday evening,
at 8 o’clock in the Presbyterian
church. It is further announced that
a cordial welcome awaits all who are
interested in matters musical, and can
qualify as singers; not necessarily
professional, but a slight knowledge
of music, sight reading and voice are
necessary.
Cowen’s beautiful cantata, “ The
Rose Maiden,” is the work now before
the club for rehearsals preparatory for
public presentation this season.
The club has been exceedingly for
tunate in securing the services of
Mark C. Dolliver, A. B. M. A. as mu
sical director. This distinguished mu
sician held the position as director of
music in Loyola high school, Missoula,
Mont., two years, and for the same
period a similar position in the Seattle
College of Music, Seattle. Mr. Dol
liver’s experience as pipe organist,
choral director and organizer qualify
him for the position as musical direc
tor of the Anchorage Choral club.
With this authority in charge, a few
more good voices and the proper inter
est, big things may be expected in mu
sical circles for Anchorage.
