THE CHEETANEKA
A poor ti^lrl for the the pronpuetor—Out
of the beIfc--Mu»t not lie euiifuned
with the rich Chataneeka country,
[liy Jim Dodson.)
The Cheetaneka, or Goodpasture river,
empties into tile Tatiana, on the north,
about 120 miles above the Salchacket.
It is about 175 miles long and Is sluggish
for 60 miles on the lower end. It" is na
vigable for this distance and drains a
low marshv country. The left hand fork
heads against Birch creek and Charley
r.ver; the right hand fork against the
Forty-mile. The formation at the head
is granite; that of the lower end quartz
and slate. 1 did not succeed in raising a
color, although some claim it to be a
gold-bearing country. I am of the opin
ion that it is out of the belt, being too
far south and east. It is, however a hun
1
ters piradise; moose, bear and all kinds ;
of feathered game in season and, a great
trapping grouud.
The Cheetaneka must not be'confound
ed with the Chataneeka; they are two
u stinct streams. The head of the Cliat
aueeka is 125.miles west of Circle; tlint
of the Cheetaneka. 160 miles south. The
former taps a rich mineral beit, rich in
quartz and placers. It was on tributaries
of the Chataneeka that tile late strikes
back of Circle were made; on Faith, Hope
Charity, and a number of other creeks.

Glen is the licliest creek ever
found in Alaska. Nome with her

of$60, $36, $17, $13, and $10 were
