STAMPEDE TO
SALCHA RIVER
IS NOW ON
—
For the past few clays u number
! of men have been quietly assembling
! small outfits and departing from
! town, presumably for the purpose of
1 taking a small prospecting trip.
Late developments show that a
small stampede Is on to the upper
stretches of the Salcha river, the
objective point being the locality
where Frank Lawson and others have
been doing prospect work for the past
few months. What reports have been
received concerning the extent of the
| reputed new discovery cannot be
learned as all of the "wised" ones are
i reticent about their information.
It has been known for some time
j that a strike would be. likely in that
vicinity but its early development
; was not predicted,
The scene of the* new strike ap
parently lies at tin- head of Shaw
creek and continues on over to the
south fork of the Salcha river A
number of other small creeks are in
this neighborhood and it may be
possible that pay will be found on all
of them The previous reports of the
new district were encouraging and it
is due to the efforts ol Lawson and
iiersehberger that the new discovery!
has been made.
Two routes of access are available;
to the new strike; one by the way of ,
Shaw creek, above itichardson. This
route presents the most feasible way
as no high divides are to be- crossed
in reaching the ground. The other
way is via the Salcha river. Many
slate that this route is impracticable
as file river trail is not ol the best
and tile divides are high. From liicli
ardsoii the route would lie up Shaw
eieek and may be made easily by dog
team.
.Nearly every means in conveyance,
aillo, doubleenders ami dog learns
ale being used by the slampcdcrs in
going to the scene ol Hie new strike,
those taking autos having a decid
ed advantage as they call reach the
mouth ol Shaw creek in a day s
travel. The result ol the tind is
arousing great interest among those
who are unable to go and the lucky
ones will be much envied.
Health Officer Sutherland admon
ishes those who take in the stam
pede to be prepared to spend the
! required ten days in quarantine on
I their return to Fairbanks—at their
own expense, in the event that the
quarantine is still In force at that
time The advice is given so that
there may be no hardship worked
on the returning men or that they
might expect their maintenance to
ho at government expense Fair
