TOMMY M’SMART
BACK FROM WARS
IS RECUPERATING
Every old-timer of Fairbanks and
Dawson knows Tom McSmart, who
came North in the very early days
as a boy, took part in nearly every
stampede, and wras long identified,
more or less closely, with the pro
»
motion of various forms of entertain
ment for old-timers, ranging from
high-class musicales to fistic encoun
ters in the squared circle. He
helped in the publication of Fair
banks’ first daily newspaper, paint
ed some of the signs which were
ordered in haste after the big Fair
banks fire, beat the drums in the
early-day band, sold ribbons, in a
ladies’ furnishings store, and oper
ated a gasboat on the Chena slough.
He could do anything, and did al
most everything.
His last venture was soldiering.
He went overseas during the early
stages of the war, being among the
first to reach France from the west
ern shores of the Atlantic, and he
fought through to the closing days
of the great conflict, being compelled
towards the end of the war to retire
from the firing line because of in
juries received during a particularly
vicious gas attack in the Paaschen
daele sector.
As soon as he was able to leave
the hospital overseas, Tom returned
to California, in which state he
was when the war started. He was
advised to seek a warm climate. But
jf-ven California did not furnish the
necessary warmth to heal his gas
filled lungs, and in his last letter
to friends in Alaska he stated that
he was about to leave for Arizona.
His lungs, he said, contained 21
perforations, caused by gas inhala
tions, but the doctors had been un
able to find any trace of tuberculosis.
Tom says his shoulders are also
pretty badly done up, the result of
packing his equipment during the
several years he fought with the
British forces. He is taking osteo
pathic treatments for them, but says
it will be quite a while before he
will be himself again.—Nenana News.
GOLD STRIKE REPORTED
v FROM LOWER YUKON
Recent arrivals in Nenana from
the lower Yukon river bring the re
port of a new discovery of placer gold
on Buster creek, a tributary of the
Kako river, which empties into the
Yukon on the right limit about eight
miles above Russian Mission.
Details of the strike, beyond the
fact that gold has ben found on five
claims, were not obtainable by the
passengers who brought the report
to Nenana, but there appeared to be
no question about the discovery.
Kako creek, as it is shown on the
maps, is a short stream, heading in
the hills at the western end of the
Ilivit mountains. Directly across
country, to the west, is the Marshall
district, a comparatively short dis
tance overland, but a considerable
number of miles away by the river
route, probably 75 or 100 miles down
stream.
Kako creek is said to be navigable
to within a short distance of the
creek where the pay is reported to
have been found, offering an easy
means of transporting supplies into
the district. Buster creek is a con
siderable distance up stream from the
mouth of Kato.—Nenana News.

Do you realize what that

Our selection by this great co-operative organization as their
