G. W. C. Glass, after a trip down
river as> far as Akiak, returned to
Tocotna recently, having made the
trip in eleven days’ traveling time
front Canyon creek, about 80 miles
from Akiak, where he went to inves
tigate a quartz proposition owned
by Herman Oman. Owing to snow
and ice conditions, Mr. Glass was
■ unable to reach the ground. How
! ever, he brought back a number of
samples, which will be sent out for
assay. (Front the looks of the ore
and what is related of it, the ore
bears the earmarks of a promising
proposition. iMr. Glass will prob
ably return to the ground at the
opening of navigation to make fur
ther investigation.
On Bear creek, says Mr. Glass, it
I i$ understood that the New York
I Alaska Gold Dredging Company will
I have all dredging material on the
ground on Bear creek by March 30.
Gus Wilson and Chris Dahl are
preparing for operations on the Mar
vel creek ground. They have nire
teen dogs busy hauling hydraulic
pipe, etc., from Akiak. They 'will
(also haul a quantity of material
from Be<u creek.
Barney and A1 Walsh, on Crooked j
creek, are sinking a shaft from which
they will run a crosscut to find the
extent of the pay on the lower rim
of their high bench channel.
Recent reports coming to Tocotna
from Flat state that U. S. Commis
sioner E. J. Stier, Deputy Marshal
j Estes and Dr. Wentz returned there
a few weeks ago from a village on
Shageluk slough, where they went to
investigate an alleged murder.
The case was one in which a |
native man was shot by a native
girl, the latter being deaf and dumb. !
The girl, according to accounts, had j
for some time been annoyed by the
attentions of men of the native vil
lage.
Reports of the shooting are con- |
dieting so far as learned. It seems, !
however, that on the day in ques- j
tion, the native man called at the

pulsed the attentions of the man.
The girl got hold of a gun. She
disclaimed that she intended to use
it, discharged, somehow, the bullet
entering the back of the man’s head,
killing him instantly.
The coroner’s jury returned a ver
dict of accidental death, and the girl
was discharged.
According to August De Roux, who
has spent many years prospecting
and mining in the upper Taku coun
try, that district is one of the most
promising mineral fields within the
broad domain of the entire north.
Fred Erikson, with headquarters
at Sitka, has just finished assess
ment work on a new discovery near
there. Mr. Erikson found this claim
about two years ago and started im
provements on it last fall. The lead
runs from 25 to 35 feet in width
on the surface and he has opened
it to a distance of 3500 feet in
length, how much farther it runs,
Mr. Erikson does not know. The
first assay was very favorable.
Michael Gilman, well known in
the McGrath district, and for a num
ber of years past, a resident of
the Ruby-Poorman section, had his
life crushed out a few weeks ago
when a bob-sled of wood overturned
on him, at a point near the Hub
roadhouse, on the road between Ruby
and Poorman, according to word re
ceived at Tocotna. Mr. Gilman, an
oldtimer in the North, had many
friend,t throughout this section, all
of whom will be saddened to learn
of his death.

CHULITNA NEWS
(By Special Correspondent)
Peculiar weather has. been pre
vailing in this district the last few
weeks. Since the cold snap broke
on Feb. 28, it has snowed and rained
quite frequently.
Moose Johnson, one of the best
trappers in the country, has procured
over $200 worth of iskins with little
effort duiring the last two weeks. He
contemplates going to Anchorage soon
dispose of his fur harvest, purchase
a summer’s outfit, then back to
Chulitna and get busy freighting in
he and his partner’s, Harry Wertz,
outfit to their main camp on Bear
lake, about nine miles from iChulitna.
Everything is in shape for the sea
son’s work on their property and
the future looks very enticing.
iMr. Stanley, former section hand
at Hurricane, is now section fore
man at Honolulu, taking the place
of George Craig, who is in a sixty
day leave of absence.
S. K. Sharpless is the regular
freight conductor north of Curry and
the citizens of Chulitna see his smil
ing face every Tuesday morning.
He has an able bunch of huskies
for his crew.
Nick Caslaekos arrived at Hurri
cane and will work for Spiro Gast,
section foreman at that point.
The cold snap which .recently vis
ited this region, caused hundreds of
small heaves along the line north
of Curry which caused lots of extra
work for the section crews.
Moose Johnson was employed by
the railroad as an extra man at
Chulitna to assist in shimming up
the track. The work lasted a few
days.
Spiro Cast, A. R. R., of Hurri
cane, and his crew of one started to
shim up the track at Chulitna, com
ing down seven miles to do the
work.
Frank Wells, a member of the
well known Wells brothers, Broad
Pass, is now working on the Color
ado section.
Harry Madsen, roadmaster, stop
ped overnight at Chulitna on his
weekly trip of inspection over his
division. He reports everything run
ning along fine and dandy.
Harry Wertz left for Bear lake,
Feb. 16, to do some extra work
around the Ruby Mint Silver Mine.
The catch of fur which Moose
Johnson caught recently totalled 24
mink, 10 otter, 14 weasels ^and four
muskrats.
James Aveno, section foreman at
Gold creek, came up to Chulitna
with his crew March 5. His crew

'Mr. and Mrs. Wilil Johnson, the
newlyweds, are enjoying life at Gold
creek. Mrs. Johnson takes her daily
walk for exercise while Mr. Johnson
gets in the wood. IMrs. Johnson
thinks Alaska is a very charming
country.
Three hundred pounds of spuds
were .received by Moose Johnson and
Harry Wertz last week from George
Moshier, well known Matanuska
farmer. Included in the shipment
was 100 pounds of carrots and tur
nips. it is reported Mr. Moshier
made quite a large catch of fur this
winter and is now planning to make
a thirty-day business trip do Seattle.
He will probably take his furs along
with him and dispose of them pers
onally, instead of attempting to sell
them in Anchorage.
Carl W. Carlson, “the free milling
kid”, wrote Moo.se on March 6, that
he had a pretty fair fur catch of j
lynx and mink since January 1. He
is located on Little Goldstream,
north of Nenana. The Kid is a
good trapper and prospector as well.
