“CHICKEN BILLY”
FROM DAWSON
IS A VISITOR
WAS FIRST MAN TO BRING POUL
TRY INTO ONCE FAMOUS
MINING CAMP
Going Outside for Winter
Comes Down Yukon and Up to Tana
na In Own Gas Boat—Was
a Glorious Trip
W. J. Anstett, known far and wide
throughout the Yukon Territory as
“Chicken Billy,” accompanied by his
mother, Mrs. Warren, who is also an
oldtimer from the days of the first
stampede, have just completed a trip
from Dawson to Nenana which many
would like to make. For 14 days after
leaving Daw'son they leisurely gas
boated down the mighty interior river
hunting, fishing and tying up to the
river bank whenever the mood struck
them. It was a beautiful trip and a
more ideal vacation could hardly be
named, Mr. Anstett stated. They
arrived in Seward from the Interior
last Sunday, departing for the States
on the steamer Northwestern.
Meets Number of Old Friends
Here in Seward “Chicken Billy” met
many old friends who were in the fa
mous gold camp during the early days
and his brief visit in town was made
doubly joyous by the pleasure of re
newing old acquaintances. The nick
name was stuck on to the old timer,

Tasmanian Iridium Pm which costa
over three times as / / much as the

why the Parker If Duofold is
called the 25- fj year point.
That’swbyit ff/ is the cheapest
pen on earth /if at $7 — because its
usefulness tqf is everlasting.

Ask To See It At
ORLANDER, the Jeweler
when in company with his brother,
Joe, now a printer in Bellingham,
Washington, he engaged in the poul
try business. Joe would buy the eggs
and chickens in Whatcom and Skagit
counties and consign them to Billy,
who would clean up on them at a
great profit. It was Billy who sold to
“Swiftwater Bill” Gates the entire egg
crop of the camp in order that a fa
mous dance hall beauty might be de
prived of her breakfast food for an
imaginary slight. It was Billy who
hit a rising market with a half car
load of eggs on which he realized a
small fortune. Both boys now have
independent fortunes, and Joe resides
in a palace under the hill, overlook
ing beautiful Bellingham Bay.
Tho gasboat used on the trip to Ne
nana and which was pulled out and
parked on the shores for the winter,
is named Flamingo. It is a 44-footer
with a six-foot beam ample and com
modious for an extended trip, such as
was recently made.
To Establish Home in States
The main purpose of the trip to the
States at this time is to establish a
winter home for his mother. How
ever he plans to visit here each year
but always returning to his Interior
business in the springtime. Mr. An
stett will probably buy a home in
Bellingham. Mr. and Mrs. Nalore, of
San Diego, who were touring the
country, met up with Mr. Anstett at
Dawson and he invited them to make
the river trip with him, which they
did.
Dawson Population 600
The population of the world-famous
placer camp, formerly numbering
many thousands, is now but 600, with
100 men working at Keno Hill. A con
siderable part of Dawson’s population
stampeded to Mayor, many business
houses removing their stocks to the
big silver camp. Thi£ camp is a won
der, Mr. Anstett stated, operations
being carried on day and night, and
he said there was a sufficient amount
of ore now on the dump to keep the
plant going for the next three years.
