VAN ORSDEL
RETURNED FROM
GOLD DISTRICT
J. C. VanOrsdel, who went up the
Kantishna river recently with a load
of about ten tons of provisions for
the miners and prospectors of the
district, returned to Nenana this
week after a hard trip.
Mr. VanOrsdel started on Septem
ber 20th from the old deserted camp
at Diamond, on the power barge
Elmer G and acted as pilot to the
launch Blue Jay and her barge,
which followed in the wake of the
Elmer G. all the way down the
sinuous Bearpaw river. Owing to
the very low stage of the water
and the abundance of dangerous
snags in this river, navigation was j
rendered difficult and tedious and
it took the party two days to make
the distance of approximately fifty
miles down the Bearpaw to its out
let in the Kantishna river.
The water in the Kantishna river
was also very low, but the party
managed to make the Tanana river
in three days, a distance of approxi
mately 120 miles, from the con
fluence of the Bearpaw and Kan
tishna rivers.
There are about thirty or forty
men in the district who will remain
through the winter to continue pros
pecting, and many of those who
have gone out who have not been
inducted into the service of the
country will, it is thought return
to the camp.
Diamond, which was the main
camp in the Kantishna country in
the early days, is now only a large
collection of deserted cabins, some
of which are used as caches for the
supplies freighted in on the river
for the use of the men in the dis
trict. It is the head of navigation
for the district, and some fifty
miles up the Bearpaw river from its
confluence with the Kantishna.
All supplies for the district are
freighted up the river to Diamond
and cached there until the coming
of the snows and they are then
freighted to the neighborhood of the
placer mining country; to Caribou
and Glacier creeks, near Glacier
City, and from there on to the!
quartz country adjacent to Eureka,
Friday and Eldorado creeks.
As the Bearpaw river can only
be navigated at a fairly high stage
of water, the necessary supplies
have to be rushed into the country
early in the season.
In spite of the shortage of men
to work the mines this season, the
output for the district will amount
to about $30,000, which is about
the same as last year. Several good
prospects have been found, and if
the miners get a fair show, the
probabilities are that the output for
the district for next summer will
greatly exceed the amount taken
out this season.
Joe Quigley, who is located on
the slope, between Eureka and Fri
day, has very good quartz prospects
and is developing his holdings. He
is working alone. Several other
prospectors who have sufficient
grub to last them through the win
ter expect to develop their finds
and expect to take out some money
next season. The (transport diffi
culty is the one thTng that is hind
ering the development of the Kan
tishna country, and if this difficulty
can be overcome, a large gold pro
duction can be looked forward to
from this district.
Game is very plentiful in the dis
trict; large herds of caribou and
bands of moose and sheep are fre
, quently seen in the vicinity of the
j mining claims. Ptarmigan were
plentiful this season and there were
ample indications that the willow
grouse were coming back.
| Th$ wide flats of the McKinley
river in the neighborhood of Wonder
Lake teem with waterfowl of all
kinds during the season, and is the
breading ground of countless flocks
of ducks, geese and swans.
| Wonder Lake is said to contain
j trout in large qShntities, some of
i them attaining great size and weight.
: Mr. VanOrsdel stated that a trout
i was caught in Wonder Lake recently
which weighed sixteen pounds.

INDIANS HELP
RED CROSS BY ,
GIVING MONEY.
SALT LAKE CITY.—Pe-retta, 75
years old, whose chief at one time j
controlled a big faction of the Ute
Indians, has given her fortune to
the Red Cross. As some fortunes;
go, her donation wasn’t much, but
Pe-retta had $513 to her credit with
Albert H. Kneale, superintendent
of the Uintah Indian reservation in
southern Utah, and she gave the Red
Cross $500 and kept $13 for her
self.
Mr. Kneale, after addressing the
Utes recently on the Red Cross
needs, concluded his remarks with
the question: “How much will you
give?”
Scores of hands shot up into the
air, each showing one or two fin
gers 'hidden, those upstanding to
indicate the size of the contribu
tions. One finger meant $10, two >
fingers $20, according to the word
signs of the Utes.
From the knarled fist of Pe-retta
five knotted fingers confronted
Superintendent Kneale. Her sub-1
scription was entered at $50. A j
few days later Pe-retta limped to the ‘
Indian agency to fill out the Red i
Cross contribution card, and when.
she saw that only $50 was called for 1
she became indignant and told the
superintendent she wished to con-!
tribute $500.
“But you have only $513 to your '
credit,” Mr. Kneale told her.
“Thirteen dollars left? That’s |
enough for me!” And she signed the
card for $500.
Indians in the Uintah basin, ac- i
cording to Mr. Kneale, have pat- ■
riotically supported every govern
ment movement. Not only have
they increased their crops, but in
the Liberty Loan. War Savings I
stamps and other campaigns, have:
averaged a per capita of $175 for
every man, woman and child on
the reservation.
DANCERS GATHER
AT HALL TONIGHT;
_ i
i
Immediately after the show to
night, the big social dance got up
by the Nenana Labor Union will
be held at the Nenana Labor Union |
hall.
All of the arrangements for the
comfort and convenience of the
dancers and those who will be in
attendance, have been completed;
the floor has been put into the best
possible condition and the best music
obtainable in town will be on tap
at the hall tonight.
A great many of the boys of j
Nenana will be leavnig shortly for
a training camp and the dance given
toni^nt will partake of the nature
of a farewell to these boys, and it
is hoped that Nenanaites will show
up in force and give the soldier
boys an opportunity of enjoying
themselves.
The popular price of one dollar
will admit gentlemen to the dance,
while the ladies will be admitted
free.
Put the right food on the home
table and the camp table will take
care of itself.
