The “social session” which follow
ed the regular meeting of Nenana
■ Igloo, No. 17, Pioneers of Alaska,
! at Union Hall last eving, and which
was arranged for the entertainment
of the ladies of Nenana and other
guests of the igloo, was thoroughly
enjoyed by the many who accepted
the invitation of the oldtimers. The
program comprised a number of
; very entertaining features, the sour
j dough lunch was up to the usual
j standard and the dance made such a
■ hit with the ladies that it was two
| o’clock before they were ready to
! leave the floor.
The Pioneers of Nenana have an
! enviable reputation as entertainers
| and the mere announcement of a
i “social session” is sufficient to in
sure a large attendance. The af
j fairs are always looked forward to
I eagerly by the ladies and it will
■ cause them not a little regret to
■ learn that the affair last evening
probably will not be repeated for
■some time. The next Pioneer good
time probably will be arranged for
| Alaska Day, at the end of the sum
mer season.
j Dr. Robert Joseph Diven acted as
| master of ceremonies and opened
! the program with an address of
welcome, after which the following
numbers were rendered:

ON LONE MIL;
Hilma Brunteson, a miner, ar
river in Nenana on the speeder yes
terday evening, from out the line,
where he had been picked up in a
more or less exhausted condition,
due to exposure and want of food.
Brunteson and Herman Eckstrom
were hired by Charles Beam at Fair
banks some time ago to go to work
for Gustafson at his mine on the
Tatlanika river. The mine is situ
ated at a point on the Tatlanika
about 60 miles distant, along a
little-used trail, from the mouth of
Wood river.
The two men left Fairbanks a
week ago last Saturday on the
launch Eclipse, and landed at Wood
river the same evening. They fig
ured that they would be able to
make the camp in from two to
two and one-half days at least, and
accordingly set out with only suf
ficient grub to last them for a little
over two days. Brunteson carried a
.22-caliber rifle, and Eckstrom had
a heavy rifle and a dog along with
him.
As previously stated, the trail
from the mouth of Wood river to
the Gustafson mine is very little
used, and in consequence is not
clearly defined in some places.
Brunteson states that on Sunday.
May 25th, they lost the trail, and
in an effort to regain it appeared
to have lost their way completely.
The next day their scanty stock of
grub ran out, but they kept on in!
the hope of being able to make the 1
camp or find the trail. They had
nothing to eat all Monday and,
Tuesday and the pangs of hunger j
were very keen. Eckstrom man-1
aged to bag a porcupine late on.
Tuesday night, which they roasted j
over a campfire and devoured rav- j
enously, the dog satisfying himself j
with the entrails, etc., of the an
imal.
With renewed vigor they pushed j
on again, but still failed to find !
the trail or get their bearings, and
wandered on thus till hunger again j
began to tell on them. Both men !
stumbled along, resting very fre-!
quently from sheer exhaustion.
Reaching a high spot a day or two
later, Eckstrom seemed to recog
nize a certain creek ahead, from
which place he thought he might be
able to get his bearings, as he had
trapped in the country in years (
gone by. He spoke to Brunteson,
who was about all in, and inquired (
if he was right in the head, and
having satisfied himself on this,
point, he went on ahead, directing I
Brunteson to follow and join him
at the creek.
Brunteson, whose memory would I
appear to have been rather hazy at:
this stage, says he fell asleep, and i
has no idea how long he may have i
been in this state. He awoke chilled j
to the bone, and remembering his \
partner’s instructions, headed for
the creek pointed out to him. This'
creek would appear to have been
about a mile or so from the place ]
where he rested, and he says he
stumbled along with many stops till
he finally reached it, but found no
trace of Eckstrom. He says he tried
to shout, but was too weak to make
much of a noise.
After another rest, he says, he
stumbled along and followed the
ridge at the head of the creek. He
saw a fire some distance ahead of
him, and hoping to find Eckstrom.
he made for it. He has no very
clear recollection of what happened
after this, or any idea .as to the
time that had elapsed since start
ing toward the creek. He says he
struck a swamp and wallowed
through it, and then again fell down
after crossing it and took a long
sleep. Waking up cold, he saw a
camp robber and managed to shoot
it. He had only four matches re
maining and did not dare make a
fire, so he says he ate the bird raw
and that it tasted mighty good.
After this feed, he wandered
along with no idea of the direction
he was traveling in, till at last he
found himself on the railroad near
mile 339, shortly after midnight last
Sunday, after a little more than a
week of wandering in the woods.
He thinks he might have slept along
side the rails for a long time. He
reached a railroad camp at noon
yesterday, where he got some food,
and from which place he was
brought to town.
He expects to get away for Wood
river after resting here awhile, and
will again tackle the trail. This
time, he says, he will be better pre
I
j pared for the journey to Gustaf
j son’s camp.
He expresses no fears for the
i safety of his comrade, who is said
to be familiar with the country,
| having trapped and prospected in
|that neighborhood many years ago.
RUSSELL RETURNS TO
WORK ON NEW CREEK
-1
J. Hj Russell, Fairbanks mining
man, who has been in Nenana dur
ing the past several days visiting
with his family, returned to the
upper town on the Victory today
to look after some promising ground
which he recently staked close to
the head of Fox gulch. Just pre
vious to coming to Nenana, Mr.
Russell let a couple of lays on the
ground and expects, upon his return,
to find the laymen actively engaged
in mining.
The ground in question is a small
draw near the head of Fox which
had escaped the notice of gold
seekers until Russell put a hole
down early this year, landing
squarely on a paystreak which
promises substantial returns.

OARS GETTING READY !
FOR LOG DELIVERIES
Austin Oars, who has a con
tract to supply the commission with
a large quantity of logs, left for
his camp on the Totatlanika this
morning, after a hurried business
trip to town. He reports that he
has his boom at the mouth of the
Totatlanika well filled with logs
and is now waiting for a rise in
the river level to drive the balance
of his winter’s cut, following which'
he will begin rafting to Nenana.
All the snow in the hills at the
head of the Totatlanika, he says,
melted some time ago, and rains■
are now needed to bring the river
up to a driving level.
NENANA HRS
ARE DIVIO ON
DELEGATE ISSUE ■
! Less than one hundred votes had
. been cast for delegate in Nenana
I precinct up to four o'clock this aft
j ernoon, and of these the honors
i appeared to be divided about equal
ly between the two candidates,
Grigsby and Jones. Of the ninety
j six votes reported, eighteen were v
cast by women.
It was expected that many em
ployes of the commission, unable
to reach the polls during the day,
| would cast their ballots after work
ing hours this afternoon, thereby
| bringing the total up to a more
; satisfactory figure. Interest is lack
; ing, however, and it is certain that ..
| the vote of Nenana will be consid
j erably under that polled at the
school election. ▼
Most of the voting, it is expected,
will be done at 35-Mile after the
j close of work this afternoon.
