Loses Poke,
but Finds it
Dr. E. M. Spaulding-, the genial
physician and surgeon of Knik,
had an experience one day this
week that he will not soon for
get, and had he been subject to
heart failure, it is quite probable
that he would not be alive to tell
the tale.
The doctor, who is physician
for several mining companies op
erating in the Willow creek gold
camp, was on one of his trips to
the camp, and before departing
for Knik Manager Robe, of the
Independence Mining Company,
requested that he take a gold
brick, valued at $3,100, into town.
Of course, the doctor consented,
and set out on his journey. At
mile 28 roadhouse, the doctor
stopped for a rest and upon ex
amination found that the poke
was still intact. At mile 19 road
house, he took another peep,
when to his consternation, the

gold was missing. The way he
backtracked it, was not slow.
Meeting a couple of Greeks, he
made hasty inquiry as to whether
or not they had found the poke.
No, they said, but they had met
a man on the road who had turn
ed off into a side trail. The doc
tor hot-footed it along the high
way and hit the side trail, which
led to Harry Trimble’s cabin.
“Did you find it! Did you find
it! !” breathlessly exclaimed the
doctor, when he saw Trimble.
“Yes, I found it,” said Trimble.
In the meantime, Manager Kobe
had heard of the loss, and he
beat all previous records in reach
ing Knik from the mines.
Petitions in Protest
In protest to the manner of
opening the new townsite, peti
tions containgthe names of some
one thousand persons have been
forwarded to Secretary of the
Interior Franklin K. Lane. Pre
ceding the petitions, which go by
mail, telegrams were sent to the
secretary, United States Senators
Chamberlain, of Oregon, and
Pitman, of Nevada, and others
prominent in national affairs.
The petitions recite that the
plan adopted for the disposal of
the lots gives the man with
money the best of it, as opposed
to the man with small means.
Those in charge of the petitions
express the belief that the peti
tions may cause a change to be
made in the manner of lot dis
posal, but if they do not, said one
to the Pioneer man, they at least
will convey to the secretary of j
the interior the wishes of the big i
majority of the residents of An
chorage. “It is the inherent
right of any American citizen to
make public expression of his
views, ” said he, “and that’s what
we’re doing by circulating these
petitions.”
