STUYAHOK CAMP
NOW DESERTED
SAYS OLOTIMER
John Adams, of Fairbanks, who
arrived in Nenana Wednesday night
from the low'er river, had been to
the scene of the reported gold strike
on the Stuyahok and its tributaries,
to investigate the find. He stayed
in that camp two and one-half days,
at the end of which time • he was
thoroughly satisfied that the strike [
had been greatly overrated.
Mr. Adams is a well known min-1
ing man of the Tanana valley, where;
he has been since 1904. He has
mined on various creeks in the Faiv-|
banks mining disrtict, and for the
past few years has mined on Gold
stream.
Shortly after the news of the1
strike had been received in Fair
banks, Mr. Adams decided to in
vestigate it, and on March 7th he
left Fairbanks, headed for the scene
of the strike. He found, shortly
after his arrival there, that with
the exception of some pay, to what
extent he does not definitely know,
which had been found on Kruger’s
claim, on a bench claim on Flat
creek, a tributary of the Stuyahok,
no pay had been struck anywhere
else in that region.
The prospectors who had been at
tracted to the region by the various
reports of the strike which were in
circulation, had punched the country
full of holes, but failed to find
anything to warrant staying there;
and when Adams left there on April
2rd, the country had been prac
tically deserted, only a few pros
pectors remaining.
Soft bedrock, Mr. Adams said,
was reached through thawed ground
at a depth of from 8 to 10 feet;
there was no trace of gravel. Three
drills operated by hand were used.
Tw o of these are still on the ground,
but are not in use any more. The
other Gi ill is being taken across
country to Willow creek, in the
Marshall district, by a party of 15
men, who will prospect enroute
Mr. Adames came to Nenana by
way of Iditarod, Poorman and Long1
creek, striking the Yukon river at
Ruby. He had a team of five dogs
on arrival, and was packing his
camping outfit along.
He thinks that there may be a
paystreak in the Stuyahok country,
but is positive it has to be found
yet.

The old Howel sawmill, which had
been purchased some time ago by
C. N. Banks and set up near Stand
ard creek for the purpose of getting
out some material for the A. E. C.,
having completed this work, has now
been moved to its new location, on
Goldstream, about a mile from the
Joyce Lake roadhouse.
The mill and machinery are now
being set up on the new site, and it
| is expected that it will be ready to
commence operations in about two
weeks’ time.
C. N. Banks, the present owner
i of the sawmill, has contracted with
the Alaskan Engineering commis
i sion for the supply of ties and bridge
material to the extent of 150,000
' board feet. A portion of this has
I already been delivered at Standard
| creek, and the balance will be got
; out at the new- location.
The logs to be used at the mill
i will be driven on Goldstream im
mediately after the breakup.

MAN NARROWLY
ESCAPES DEATH
NEAR FAIRBANKS
Joe Downs, of Fairbanks, is re
ported to have very narrowly es
caped death by drowning, n£hr
Fairbanks yesterday afternoon.
He was crossing the river on
foot, a short distance above the
mouth of Noyes slough, from the
Garden Island to the Fairbanks side,
and when only a few feet away
from the bank on the Fairbanks
side the ice gave way, plunging him
into deep water.
He managed to sustain himself
by stretching his arms out over
the ice until assistance, which for
tunately was near at hand came to
his rescue.
Planks were slid out to the man
in the water and he was hauled
out with a rope.
AT UNION HALL
The social dance which is being
given by the Nenana Masonic club
will take place at the Union Hall
tomorrow night.
The lady friends of the Masons
with the assistance of some of the
members of the fraternity have very
tastefully decorated the hall and
they have transformed the place in
to a veritable bower of beauty.
The Masonic dance, which is the
biggest event in
Nenana, promises also to be a most
brilliant affair. The best of every
thing in the way of music and ths
other things that contribute toward
the success of functions of this kind
has been arranged for by a special
committee, and from the time the
grand march commences until the
lasj strains of “Home Sweet Home”
brings it to an end, the enjoyment
of those who will attend is assured.
The dance is an invitational affair,
such as all Masonic dances usually
are, and a limited number of in
vitations have been issued by the
Masons to their friends and ladies.
ICE POOL WILL
CLOSE MIDNIGHT
The consolation ice pool, which
was started immediately after the
closing of the big ice pool, will
close promptly at midnight tonight,
and those who have not registered
their guesses earlier will be given
an opportunity to do so before
that time.
Tickets are on sale at all of
the pool rooms in town, where they
may be had on application.
Immediately after midnight, the
committee in charge of the pool
will be around to collect the tick
ets sold, which will be placed in
a sealed box. This box will be
opened after the whistle heralding
the big event has blown.
Sales have been quite brisk to
day and it is expected that al
least $500, less a small sum foi
; printing and incidental expenses
; will remain for the lucky winner
; With the report of the breaking
of the Yukon river at Whitehors:
and the unsettled weather prevailing
in this district, “dopesters” perhaps
I could tell, more nearly when th«
i ,
j ice will go out in front of town
Earlier dates again seem to havf
| found favor.
ANNOUNCEMENT
i Dr. R. R. Myers wishes to an
- nounce to his patrons that he wil
| leave Nenana on the first boat fo:
j down river points, and will be absen
for some time.
The date of return will be dul;
announced later.
