BLUE JAY BACK
FOR THE WINTER
Returning Prospectors on the Way
to Fairbanks, Make Brief Stop
At Nenana.
The steam launch Bluebird which!
left Fairbanks with a party of pros-j
pectors and a large outfit for the
I Kantishna country on June 22, this
j spring, pulled into port this morn
! ing with U. H. McDowell, Henry
Capp, Jack Himilton, Charley Wheel
i er and Joe Kaufman.
On the way up to the Kantishna
country the launch carried about
i twelve tons of supplies, most of
which have now been cached for the
use of the prospectors, who intend
to return to the country and work
the ground they have staked next
spring. The perishable part of their
twelve-ton load was disposed of to
the miners of the district.
Mr. McDowell, one of the party
of prospetcors, stated that they did
considerable prospecting in the Kan
tishna country and found very fair
pay in the country about 12 miles
above Glacier City. They have
staked claims in this region and ex
pect to work them next spring.
Some pay was uncovered and in two
weeks’ time the party cleaned up
a little over $200 in coarse gold.
! Henry Capp is reported to have
struck fair pay on a claim he staked
about sixteen miles above Glacier
City. He found a forty-dollar nug
get and took out some gold- He is
on his way to the States for the
winter, but expects to be back in
the country to work his claim next
spring.
Tha. returning prospectors say
that prospects for the development
of the gold mining industry in the
Kantishna country are very good
and that all that is needed for this
development is better transportation
facilities.
The Bluebird brought back the
barge which Joe YanOrsdel took up
to the Kantishna country some time
ago with supplies. She will sail for
Fairbanks sometime this evening.
FOREST FIRE IS
SLOWED BY RAIN
A forest fire in the woods to the
southeast of town, the origin of
which is unknown, which started
sometime during the night of Tues
day, had reached considerable pro
portions last night and the lurid
glare from the fire was seen by
many Nenanaites last night
■ Dense columns of smoke emanat
ing from the fire rolled in the di
; rection of town yesterday, and it
i appeared as if the fire was spread
ing in a westerly direction. It is
j not anywhere in the neighborhood
j of the right of way.
| According to reports received in
j town, the damage done to the woods
seems to be considerable. A quan
' tity of native hay, which had been
cut and was ready to be removed
as well as a few cords of wood were
j consumed by the flames.
I The smart shower of rain ex
■ perienced this morning would ap
pear to have almost put the fire
j out, judging from the absence of
J any smoke from the vicinity of the
jfire this morning.
i Tommy Scott, of Engineer Ster
ling’s party, came into town last
night and left for his camp this
j morning.
