JUNEAU DOCTORS ASSERT
HOOTCH IS POOR STUFF
Special Officer John Lund raided
a still near Douglas recently, secur
ing five gallons of moonshine whisky
and eight 50-gallon barrels of mash.
The still was of 30 gallons capacity,
and was located in a cabin on Doug
las island directly across from the
Salmon Creek power-house.
The owner of the still will be
arrested as soon as the officers can
locate him.
The federal officers declare that
there is an alarming amount of
moonshine whisky coming to Junaeu.
This whisky is made from raisins,
brown sugar and cornmeal, and is
similar to the old-style “hootch”
made by the Indians. Physicians in
Juneau declare the whisky to be
deadly poison to the human system,
saying it will surely result in many
cases of insanity and crime from dis
ordered minds caused by this char
acter of drink.

SAFI OF LOGS
FOR MM
MBf OARS
A large raft of logs, which was
enroute to the Commission sawmill
j from the Totatlanika river, escaped
i from its moorings at an early hour
this morning and is now speeding
down the Tanana unattended. The
| raft passed Nenana about 8 o’clock
i this morning, and, despite the ef
j forts of the Commission power-scow
(Midnight Sun to rescue the logs op
posite Camp 415, is still going, un
less it lodged on a bar farther down
the river.
The raft belonged to Austin Oars
and was valued at $750.
Oars has been logging on the
(upper Totatlanika during the past
two seasons, and the raft which was
lost represented a considerable part
of his labors during that time. At
the time it broke loose, the raft was
awaiting a launch to bring it safely
to Nenana. It was constructed with
out sweeps, and even had the own
ers discovered the escape in time to
board the raft before reaching town,
they would have been powerless to
steer it.
Oars lost about three hundred
logs earlier in the season, high wa
ter in the Totatlanika having car
ried them under and over the boom
into which they had been driven
near the mouth of the river.

WILL 8E MADE
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 31—
During his conversation with Presi
dent Wilson yesterday relative to the
peace treaty, Senator Harry S. New,
Republican, of Indiana, informed the
I executive that it would be impossi
ble to induce the members of the
'senate to ratify the peace treaty as
jit now stands. The treaty will be
ratified with reservations, declared
New, or it will fail altogether.
The senator informed the Presi
dent that he was utterly opposed to
Article 10 of the League of Nations
covenant.
The President argued that the
adoption of reservations by the sen
ate might set a precedent for other
nations, to which New replied that
the question of reservations was one
for America to decide regardless of
the effect such action might have
on other nations.

There is a vast area of highly
mineralized country to the south
of Nenana, in the opinion of A1
Copeland, well-known mining man,
who reached town last evening with
Tom Blaylock from a six-weeks’
prospecting trip which took them
through the Kantishna district and
over the moraines on the western
slope of the Alaska range, which
overlook the great Kuskokwim val
ley. The oldtimers were very fa
vorably impressed with the look of
the Kantishna district and saw manv
•
indications of mineral between the
Kantishna and Nenana, but they
1
were disappointed with that portion
of the Kuskokwim country which
they visited.
In a conversation with a rerpe
sentative of The News last evening,
Mr. Copeland predicted that larger
and richer ledges than any yet un
covered will some day be found and
developed in the Kantishna district.
; And it is also his opinion that there
is much gold and other minerals in
the hills directly south of Nenana.
| The formation on the Kuskokwim
slope of the range is granite and
not a trace of gold could be found
, anywhere on the highlands. The
indications were so discouraging, in
fact, that the prospectors did not
extend their search into the low
lands.
Came Plentiful.
But if there is a scarcity of min
erals in the Kuskokwim hills, there
certainly is no lack of game. Mr.
Copeland and his partner saw many
moose along: the moraines, and the
caribou were more numerous than
they had ever seen them elsewhere
in the grazing season. Herds of
caribou numbering 300 or more were
encountered, and the animals were
so tame that frequently curiosity
attracted them within close range of
the prospectors. Sheep were not so
plentiful in the country which they
visited, but they saw many ptarmi
gan, and it is the beilef of Mr.
Copeland that the birds are coming
back slowly, after an absence of
several years. There were no signs
of rabbits, however, and not a bear
was seen on the entire trip.
The number of moose and eari
' bou seen is attributed to the fact
that there is an abundance of feed
for the animals on the Kuskokwim
i
side of the range. Reindeer moss
; is very plentiful.
Many Lakes Seen.
i Lakes were frequently met with
in the journeyings through the foot
hills near the bases of Mt. McKinley
jand Mt. Foraker, and traveling was
oftentimes difficult, owing to the
marshy condition of the moraines,
despite the elevation. This was at
tributed largely to the fact that
rain fell almost continuously while
the two men were in the hills.
! Copeland and Blaylock left Ne
nana for the Kantishna on the Mc
Gonigal launch on June 12, disem
. barking at Roosevelt, from which
point they traversed the Kantishna
district, skirting the McKinley hills
I toward the East fork of the Kusko
. kwim. Their supplies were carried
by two pack-horses. They looked
the Kantishna district over both go
ing and coming, and came out by
way of the proposed Taylor route,
which landed them on the railroad
right-of-way a short distance below
(Xenana canyon. The trip into town
was made by train, the two men
arriving here with their horses last
i evening.
The horses were sent across the
river this morning and the start for
Fairbanks by way of the Ohio road
house was made later in the day.
Robert E. Burns and Tom McKin
non, Tolovana mining man, went out
to the Bums mine on last night’s
train.
