mail PIONEER]
SAYS RE 15
James Grey, now at the Home In
I Sitka, is a typical pioneer. He has
been there for four years, having gone
from Cordova in Iteeomber, 1:113.
There are many others like htm In —
Alaska, and the incidents of their lives
would m lie an interesting hook.
James M. Grey was born in Colnm
bia county, Missouri. May 22, 1842. He
left there about the beginning of thf’
civil war and went to Nebraska city. U;:
near Council Bluffs, Iowa. He left fi
there a few years Inter with four yoke Si
of cattle hound for Fort Bridges, Utah. i;ij
In the fall of he left Port Bridges Si
and went to Salt Hake city, arriving
there by horseback. He remained Si
• here that winter, and then with a six :$
mule team he drove to Hogan, a small Si
town In Utah, and there loaded with iS
butter, eggs and other produce, and Si
started for Montana, lie next landed I*
jin Virginia City, and finally In Alder Si
Gulch. Here he sold his team and ;S
went prospecting. From here he went
; to the place w'here Helena now stands.
j and later went to Confederate Gulch
and staked a claim. From there he
1 went to Silver creek prospecting, and
.got into a fracas with some Indians gi
and received a bullet in his leg. leav- iS
1 ing a bad wound.
After recovering he went back to
Confederate Gulch. That was in 1865.
jThls time he and his partner staked :S
a claim that they sold for $10,000 In Si
gold. He wandered back to Helena,
and bought six yoke of cattle, went to
Fort Benton and continued to freight :S
until the railroad came and put him Si
| out of business. jifi
When he left Fort Benton he con- :-:i
| eluded to try British Columbia, and
|,landed in Hast Kootenay; from there i-i
I he went to Slocan and with six others J:-:
started for the Peace river: stopped §"•
for a while at Ashcroft, a railroad sta- jX
[ tion on the C. P. R. Here they outfit- 'll
ted for Peace river. Afterward he ♦
j and his associates concluded not to go
to Pence river and turned off toward «
| the Stikeen river and landed at Tele
I graph creek. They were on the trail *
all winter between Telegraph and Tes- ♦
II in lake. Here they prospected for ^
some time. This was in the spring of
'97. Later they drifted down the Yu- *
kon to Pelley river, and from there «
down to Louse Town, one mile above ^
Dawson. Here he met old Captain J.
J. Healey. Tried to get some grub
; from him. but failed. Later he went *
down to Forty-mile to make a grub- *
stake, but did nothing all summer. In *
1898 he polled back to Dawson, met A1 ♦
Williams and then went back to ♦
Chicken creek. He could not find any- +
thing and went up to Dawson. In ^
1899 he went back to Forty-mile again ^
and worked the summer of '99 for
; wages. Rocked that summer on Napol
1 eon bar; then back to Dawson again, *
land went to work for Frank Morrison. ♦
j on 76 below on Dominion. This fall
he went to Tenakee Hot Springs and
remained there nine weeks. Then he ♦
j went to Juneau, and from there to Se- ^
j attle. Couldn’t stand that and came
j back to Katalla, where he remained ^
{one summer. That fail he came to ♦
| Cordova and remained here until he ^
went to Sitka, where he now is.
That's his history. If you would ♦
write the incidents of the life of any +
I other old-timer in Alaska it would read
much the same. What a hard rough *
life to lead without any success. He ♦
itried, but fortune did not favor him. ^
1 He is now an inmate of the Home for
{aged prospectors. He asks us to an- *
. swer his letter, for he says he is “lone- ♦
I some.” That word expresses the feel- ^
ings of many of the men who have
prospected in Alaska and found it *
not. The life of several of the mem- *
bers of the United States senate, for
the first twenty years was much the *
same as “Uncle Jimmie's," but fortune ♦
at that time favored them and they ^
went to the top. Some must fail,
others win. Nevertheless a United 1 *
States senator killed himself and left I ♦
a note that he did the rash act be- I ^
cause he was “lonesome.” What’s the 1 v
difference? ^
♦ ♦
John A. Kernmis, former Douglas
business man, passed away at Sche- ^
nectady, New York. He came to Doug- ♦
las 19 years ago, and engaged in the ^
jewelry business for ten or eleven
years. He had had the misfortune to *
freeze his arms and legs in the Civil +
war and had the latter amputated at ^
the knees. He was survived by sev
eral relatives. Interment took place ♦
in the Keminis plot in Yale cemetery. ♦
