INMAGHUK NEWS AND SOME
COMMENTS ON CURRENT EVENTS
iSpecial Correspondence.)
Deerlng, Alaska, Mar. 31, 1913.
This month certainly made Its ap
pearance in this section like the pro
verbial "Roaring I.ion”, tail switching,
mane bristling and emitting terrifying
chest notes, and maintaining its fero
city until the 26th. when it assumed
a lamblike attitude and today is re
treating with hardly a bleat. This
March storm has been the most pro
longed we have ever experienced in
here. The whole country is one vast
snow field of considerable depth, (front
manses of snow fills the rivers and
creeks, which will bo raging torrents
when the thaw comes on Xu shortage
of water expected in here this summer
tor hydraulics, as all reservoirs will lie
filled to overflowing. So a particularly
profitable mining season is predicted.
There are several big dumps to be
■'leaned up with the first run of water.
On Saturday, March 20th, Alex
Sicotle came to the Rapids roadhouse,
a couple of miles or so below his camp,
to telephone for some supplies to the
store in Dcering. He waited at the
roadhouse till evening to get the latest
teJephune war dope. About 9 p. m. he
started for home, lie was advised to
stay the night where lie was, hut he
insisted on going, making light of the
trip. The proprietor gave him a. lan
tern and he started. That is the last
seen or heard of him since. He lived
with Joe Segsby at the Holliday camp
and when he did not get home that
.evening Joe very naturally concluded
that lie had remained at the roadhouse
and Sunday also being stormy Joi- had
no misgivings when Alex failed to re
turn that day. On Monday some parties
going up from Deering learned of
Alex's visit to the roadhouse Saturday
and return home: nothing was thought
of the matter until the mashers reach
ed tlie Holliday camp and Segsliy asked
them if Alex was still at the road
house. At once the news spread that
Sieotte was lost. AH the camps were
visited and nothing learned of him.
Many of the' hoys quit work and a
Search party was organised. Having
been out two nights and a day, no hope
was entertained of finding him alive.
Ilis body was sought so that it might
bc> given proper interment. For Severn)
days the search was kept up, lent to no
avail. was storming all the time
and the' hoys were finally forced to give
it up However, travellers up and
down the river vary their route each
trip and keep a sharp lookout, hut it
is not expected the body will he found
until tlie snow goes off some In the
spring, and only then if he has been
lost on tlie tundra, for if he is in tlie]
river channel, he may be washed away
and torn to pits'cs lev tlie ice when the
i i iver breaks up, and his body never lie
found. Alex Sieotte was one of our
old time prospectors, he has made
some minor strikes, hut nothing big:
leis latesi prospecting was over on
I.ane river this winter with Adolph Ks
eholt. They struck thawed ground
and water drove them from tliceir
shafts. He was a widower with one
child, a daughter, married. He has
I brothers and sisters living in Oakland,
< 'at.
It is supposed that Alex Sicotte's
lantern was blown out by the wind and
there being no trail and no cabins be
tween the roadhouse and his camp and
the river channel filled with snow to
the level of the surrounding flats, he
must have wnndered about until ex
haustion forced him to give up. His
tracks were obliterated Immediately
they were made, so there was nothing
for the senrehers to trace him by.
-It Is expected that the Deputy Mar
shal, on his return from Nome, will
enter the search for Alex, as looking
| up missing people, we understand,
comes within the province of the Mar
shal's office.
A strange thing has occurred. When
Alex Sieotte left the naplds roadhouse'
liis expressed intention was to return
to his camp, which was up the river.
Ills lantern was picked up a half mile
above the roadhouse. On April 2nd i
liis lantern was picked lip about a half
mile below the roadhouse, down liver
towards Deering. Search is now be
ing made in that vicinity. It is sur- j
mined that Alex going home against j
the storm had Ills lantern extinguished!
and turned back intending to return to
the roadhouse and remain the night ;
and passed it in the dark.

ALASKA
NOTES
With ihe thermometer at forty de
grees above zero, pansies blossoming in
tile yards, columbines starting through
the soil and pussy willows with catkins
nearly in the "fluff" it looks as if thci
people of Skagway may get ready as it
future winter resort. White Portland,
Oregon, is in the throes of an Ice-hound
season. Skagway is enjoying almost
summer weather. The creeks are free
of ice, the ground hare and the domes
tic fowls art* out looking for stray flies I
and moths that are still flying about in
the air.
Tho Ketchikan forest service oltiie is
in receipt of word from the department
of tho interior stating that office find
denied tho George Roe appeal from the
decision of the Juneau land office,
which had decided against Roe in his
application for a patent as a homestead1
of the land claimed by him at the Roll
Island hot springs. The order denying
ihe application is signed by A. A. Jones,
first assistant secretary of tho depart
ment of the interior, and the document
states that tho only possible recourse'
for tho Roc heirs is to apply for the
land under discussion as a trade or '■
manufacturing site. The patent was;
refused by the land office on the ground
that it was not suitable for agricultural
purposes nnd therefore could not lie I
taken up as a homestead.
Writing from Chlsona to the Dawson1
N’ews George R. Ooshaw, a well known \
miner, says: “We have had a fine win- j
ter thus far. There are about 250 men
in tho Chisnna camp. A gang of men
are blowing out the fulls on Bonanza
creek, nnd another is at work on the
canyon of Johnson, in addition to this
we have a big bunch on the McCarthy
trail via Scoini pass. Tho McCarthy
people, assisted by the road commission
with about *1,500. are working on last
!winter’s trail, but X do not think they
will build much of a trail with this
sum. AA'e are still working unaided,
and the big end of it falls on me. Rut
l am still young, and whatever I do
| will not he forgotten within the next
; 100 years. Dud McKinley’s camp was
broken into and about 1.000 pounds of
grub taken, nnd there is no trace of
the thief. Dud is still at Horsefelt and
will return tho last of this month. .Toe
McLellan, who was married at Mc
Carthy, has returned. I am doing
soino work on Little Eldorado, on the
right limit benches and think I have
a good chance of hitting the old chan-|
ncl. Considerable prospecting is being
done on rtarmigan creek, a tributary
of the Beaver. About forty men are
there. I have an interest in sis claim*
and it is just lwssible that we may
locate pay. Rim prospects look fairly
well. I am getting a pump for the wet
I ground on Alder creek, nnd I think I
shall do some work there in connec
tion with the boys who own the ground
This creek has a chance of being tht
best here, and I surely hope it will
prove such.”
