COLD PROSPECTS
ARE NEAR
ANCHORAGE
lh« Cook Inlet Pioneer tells of i
stampede to Lewis river, lying be
tween the Susitna and Beluga rivers
which was Induced by reports of placei
gold strikes. The facts regarding the
discovery are that Sam Wagner anc
Chit tick, both old-timers In the Susitna
country, found a little pay on Lewis
Hver, about a mile above the point
wher«^ a small strike was reported two
years ago. Wagner and Chittick also
say they found coarse gold on the
stream two miles above where they
made the recent find. They are work
ing with a rocke- that yields then
about 76 cents each per hour. Th.
country Is a likely one for prospecting
although it Is said that there are too
many boulders on Lewis river for
dredges. Rumors have been afloat for
some days about a strike on Peters
creek, but diligent inquiry elicited th*
fact that while some coarse gold has
been discovered, nothing that can bt
called pay gravel has been revealed as
yet. Coarse colors have been found
on Ship cfeek, but nothing of impor
tance has yet been discovered.
GRUB SCARE IN
JOLOVANA
That grub is getting very scarce in
the Tolovana at the present time It
stated by Rupcan Mlchie, who cam.
out during the early part of August
(•wing to the impassable trail and poor
facilities for transportation on the
river, the price* of grub have soared
and many articles nre nut obtainable
fur any money. During the past ten
weeks approximately seventy men from
Rampart and other Yukon river point*
visited the Tolovana, and many of
them have had as high as lf.00 m cash
Intending to huy outfits and start out
prospecting, hut they were compelled to
get out as quickly as possible. Re
garding the road to' the Tolovana, Mr
Mlchie reports that R. A. Jackson and
crew are cutting out a way for a good
trail, and indication* are that th>
engineer will be able to find a good
route to the new camp,
SEATTLE MAN WAS
A JUNEAU SUICIDE
That the body of the man found near
Juneau recently, with a bullet wound
in the head, is that of C. S. Stafford,
former manager of the Georgian hotel,
in Seattle, is the belief of E. G. Cald
well, owner of the hotel, according to
the Dost-Intelligencer. Mr. Caldwel.
»ays that^Stafford mysteriously dis
appeared, about a month before. Eater
Caldwell trailed the missing man to
Ketchikan through the checking of his
baggage; and a guest at the hotel re
ported that he had seen Stafford in
Juneau. Mr. Caldwell'says that Staf
ford evidently ended liis own life. The
former manager obtained a divorce
from his wife, who is now in Montana
several months ago, and he also has
suffered from insomnia for some time
Stafford was well known in Seattle
before becoming manager of the Georg
ian hotel he was proprietor of the Am
herst hotel, in Seattle.
FOOD 8HORTAGE IN
THE KOYUKUK RELIEVED
That the people of Betties were
badly in need of supplies is stated by
several members of the crew of the
steamer Tana, which recently returned
from the northern camp to Fairbanks
When the Tana got within twenty miles
of Betties the people there were so
anxious for fresh supplies that a small
bout was sent ahead with a few cratee
of goods. Including eggs, bacon, cream
und other eatables. When the boat
arrived all of the advance shipment
had been eaten up and the people were
waiting for more gruo. j'ra'ctically
everything in the eatable hue had been
used up and the tlrst boat was given a
1 most royal welcome. As soon as the
iuua started to unload us supplies the
merchants could not hand out tne goods
iasi enough to suit tne customers, and
iitany "big feeds” Were In order that
night.

WARM WEATHER IN ALASKA.
A Juneau dispatch of July 20 stated
that the streams were getting low and
there was less snow on the near-by
mountains than at any previous known
time, owing to continued warm and
clear weather. The power plants. It
was stated, might be compelled to use
steam auxiliaries to keep mining at the
maximum. The only previous record
approaching the current hot spell was
in 1896, when there was three months
of sunshine, but it was not so warm as
it has been this year. Undergrowth
in the mountains, seldom dried in for
mer years, was parched, nnd forest
tires ^ere raging along Lynn canal. The
weather bureau thermometer registered
90 in the shade, while 100 mark was
reached in the business section. East
ern tourists on excursion boats, who
had come laden with furs and heavy
wraps, were buying lightweight clothes
and straw hats. All the glaciers in
that section were discharging ice in a
way never before witnessed, and tour
ists were getting some rare sights.
