PIUTE INDIANS RUN AMUCK.
/ -— —- —r~— ~ "«n»g7vqpr,w^—"
A lnrpe» band of Piute Indlnn outlaws escaped to the canyons of Utah, jrfvtn* batUe to their pursuer*. Here u
a typicnl sfroup of Ptntes
Koyukuk has set the pace this
spring for Alaska placer camps by
producing a single pan containing
$1,632 worth of native gold. Just
what shape it was in was not stated,
but evidently in large nuggets and
dust. It si a big nugget country but
never heretofore lias a pan produced
anything like this nmount since the
early days of the Klondike.
Nelson & Smith were the lucky op
erators, working on 4 below llam
mond river. The pan was washed
March 2uth. In addition to this their
Pickups for six days following a
mounled to an average of $1,000 a
day, showing that they must have tap
ped a very rich pocket.
Kelly and "Shorty" Gregan, in the
same section, picked up $4,000 in six
days and are reported to be in good
money.
Hastings & Go., on the Hoosier asso
ciation, Hammond river, are getting
$100 pans right along this spring on
their grofind, which is proving to be
very rich.
Wool & Co., on No. 5 Nolan creek,
have good pay, and the latter part of
March picked up $500 in one day.
Hans Christensen & Co., on 2 No
lan creek, report having made a $600
cleanup recently.
This Information is contained in a
letter written at Wiseman April 1 by
Deputy United States Marshal E. D.
lleppenstall to the Marshal's office at
Fairbanks, and is further substantia
ted by another letter received from
Ihiu Averill, who is in the Nolan dis
trict.
The letter says that the outlook was
Pretty blue in the Koyukuk all winter
and until the concerns mentioned a
bove got into the rich ground late in
March, and since then everybody has
been happy and optimistic. He pre
dicts a good season ahend. Rich
spots he has an idea will continue to
be opened for a thousand years to
come in the Koyukuk country, but he
says at that “nobody ever starved up
here, it is an easy country to live in
and mining is easy." Dan Averill is
a partner of C. K. Snow, of Ruby, one
of the new representative at Ju
neau from that division.
With this start the Koyukuk has an
opportunity this season to make a big
hit in the mining world. It already
has to its credit the largest nugget
ever found in Alaska, and there Is al
ways present the chance of opening
the richest pocket in the country.

HERE'S SOME LUCK I
THAT IS LOCK!
Some people are born lucky; others
have luck thrust upon them. Mrs.
Paul J. Rlchert, of Fairbanks, sister
of Mrs. it. J. DeLeo and Mrs. Horace
Leach, of Cordova, feels that she Is
lucky, yet she also gives credit to
her belief In Christian Science for a
very remarkable incident revolving
around the loss of one of her valu
able diamond and turquoise earrings.
Sunday she and her husband went
to the picture show, and later walked
down to the river front to see if the
water was rising. When she retired
for the night she could not find one
of her earrings, and was Inclined to
worry, but. as she puts it: "I remem
bered that nothing is lost in God’s
Kingdom, and believing so, I did not
worry."
However, she could not find the
lost jewels around the house, so con
tinued to keep on the lookout.
Next afternoon she walked down
town, and beside the sidewalk on
Fifth avenue she spied the missing
earring sticking out of the mud. In
a moment she had it and is quite over
joyed at her good luck. It is rare
indeed that the loser finds a valuable^
article which has lain all day prac
tically in the middle of a street be
side a crosswalk where scores of
people are passing every hour.

EBES SMS ONLY
4011 OB 500 NEEDED
Governor J. F. A. Strong has Just
received a letter from W. C. Edes,
chairman of the Alaska railroad engi
neering commission, In which the lat
ter says that only 400 or 500 men will
be needed by the commission this
year. These will probably be em
ployed In Alaska, and Mr. Edes cau
tions people not to rush to the scene
of the proposed work seeking em
ployment.
Mr. Edes’ letter Is dated at Wash
ington, April 13, and says:
“Hon. J. F. A. Strong,
Governor of Alaska,
J mean.
M Dear Governor Strong:
"W«- are considerably disturbed over
the probability of a stampede of la
boring men to Alaska seeking work
on the new railroad. As you will see
by Secretary Lane’s announcement, we
expect to do our work this season
mostly with station men, with a few
additional ones employed directly by
the government. I do not expect we
will need 400 or 500 all told. These
I presume, we can mostly find In Alas
ka. It certainly would be a disaster
to have large numbers of men flock
to the territory expecting to find work
on the railroad, and, failing In that,
not to have means to get away. I am
sure you are as anxious to avoid this
as we are and will use your influence
to prevent it. If at any time we are
short of laborers I presume we can
easily ge them by advertising.
Cordially yours,
(Signed) W. C. EDES,
Chairman”

A NEW STRIKE IS
REPORTED AT
*
— — —. — — — j I
The story of late developments In
Tolovana camp Is highly Important,
the new discoveries establishing the
permanency of the new camp and as
suring interior Alaska of a large and
rich placer district.
Dave Carscadden. one of the best
known miners in interior Alaska, has
made a new strike which certainly
looks good. He is located on third
tier opposite 5 above I.lvengood, a
bove a reef which cuts the creek, par
alleling both limits. His shaft is
stink half a mile above the creek
claims and is down about 90 feet. Hast
Wednesday be had put two thaws In
up the hill and two down towards the
creek. it was from the latter that
pans were taken by a number of vis
itors, from the bucket as it came up
and from the dump. During the af
ternoon the pannings averaged about
five cents. On Thursday afternoon,
from the same thaw, the pay improved
some of the pans running 20 cents and
a number of them 15 cents. The gold
is heavy, round and shotty, having all
the appearance of paystreak gold.
Carscadden claims he has about five
or six feet of pay dirt and is much en
thused over the prospect, figuring the
ground to run about $3 to the foot.
Finding of the pay where he haB it
is the most important discovery since
Jay Livengood staked discovery. The
r>T*£xXtlr i e olnlrnrl ~ A. 1__1_
miles of its length nnd there is now .
apparently good reason to believe
that the pay on the high benches may
run for almost its entire length. Pay
Is found as high up as the ground
worked by Jack Bigelow on Gold
stream, and it is probable from pres
ent indications that two distinct pay
streaks will be found on the creek,
at least for the length of the reef.
Operations on the creek will un
doubtedly be expensive, as water will
have to be brought In ditches a long
way, wood will be costly, and at the
best the landing of supplies on the
ground will add greatly to the operat
ing expenses. The next few days
will probably see several holes bed
rocked in line with Carscadden's and
these should demonstrate the length
of the paystreak. Its width Is yet a
matter of speculation, but as Cars
eadden drifts toward the creek his
pay gets better and he has a long way
to ge before he strikes the rim of the
reef.
