INMACHUK NOTES
Special Correspondence.
Doering, Alaska, June 11.—At las'
we nre getting some decent weather;
the sun has considerable warmth ant
the streams are running banks full
There are great snow bank3 along tht
valley rims and in the side hills draws
and gulches that have congealed intc
ice and will take a long time to meli
so it Is expected that water will be
plentiful for a good part of the sum
mer. The Ice In the sea is still intact
hut loose and moving about n little
A good storm will break it up and
hasten Us elimination. At times oper
water along the shore permits of boat
* ing and small motor boats are already
In evidence.
Qood old mother Alaska, with the
best intentions of being just, some
times bestows fortune' on scamps and
scallawags, passing by the meritorious
and deserving; but those are mistakes
as liable to commonwealths as well as
to individuals. Hut Alaska has also
been kind to many of the really deserv
ing, which fact is illustrated by the
goodly number of substantial favors
she has dispensed in here during the
. winter just passed. All of the boys
who made winnings nre justly entitled
thereto. All being oldtime prospectors
who have practiced industry, patience
and perservnnce in Alaska for many
years nnd are reaping their reward.
Seven of our old "Sourdough Stiffs”
harvested crops of from $10,000 to
$20,000 this spring from their winters
labors. It is now In order that the
“sapheads" the self styled elite (?) of
this dlstriet will stretch forth the glad
hand to the new capitalists, who a
short time ago, as poor prospectors,
were hardly noticed. Hut these hoys
heads are well halnneed and they will
readily enteh on to the motive.
H. H. Stull is a pioneer of (his sec
tion. He came to Alaska with the big
Klondike stampede and like many an
other cheechaco failed to connect with
the “Big Thing" in that section. He
left there and drifted to other parts of
Alaska, sinking holes, always observ
ing and gaining in experience, and
finally landed on the Inmnehuk which
his experience of mineralized sections
convinced him was as likely a part of
Alaska ns he hftd heretofore visited In
all his peregrinations. He acquired a
number of claims and started sinking
holes and every shaft he got down
strengthened his eonvletion that he
was nearing the "Big Thing." At
times his health and laek of finances
forced him to desist, recuperate his
health nnd rustle grubstakes, hut de
spite nil his trials and tribulations he
retained his faith in this section (ind a
confidence that he would eventually
win out. He was maligned and joked
about his perservance, but doggedly
bold on to his ground and whenever
able sunk more holes, and now is
reaping his due reward. Ho struck
pay. Being 111 nnd financially hard
pressed, he leased cine claim. The
lessees are sturdy' Alaskan sourdoughs
and old timers in here. Mr. Stull'
royalties from them have put him on
"easy street.” He will take in the big
fair at San Francisco this summer,
buy a farm or two, spend next winter
on the old homestead and return next
spring. Mr. Stull is a lava enthu
siast and will bring in with him a large
outfit and search for the paystreak
under the lava which his great mining
experience convinces him is there.
And he has ample warrant for his be
lief, for every rich claim on the river
is at the mouth of, or just below,
every creek and draw that outs
through the lnvn. The lava will re
ceive considerable attention in the
near future. Mr. Stull has hlH wife
and son with him.
Charley Nicol, up on Cunningham,
already has a crew shovelling In.
The river is taking on a wt'V lively
tone. Many men are at work and
quite n number awaiting nn oppor
tunity. Pipe line trestles have been
carried away and high water has so
far prevented their reinstatement.
A1 Winkler, the freighter, is inter
ested in that tributary of the Koyuk
where the recent strikes were made.
He expects to go over soon nnd take
a look ST idlings. He may move over
with his freighting outfit.
The dumps extracted during the
winter up river are about cleaned up
and the results are very gratifying to
the operators. Two camps nre still
hoisting and sluicing and will continue
so to do as long as conditions nnd fool
L
| permit. The finds of the winter has
restored the camp to Its former Impor
tance as a winter proposition and the
consequent impetus given prospecting
will undoubtedly result In more pro
ducing claims being developed In the
Ifuture
j _
Chas. Okuda recently purchased the
hull of a motor boat and is remodel
ing it. When fitted with it motor,
which he intends doing, ht* will possess
a little launch second to none In this
district.
