irmST DISCOVERY OF
SUSHANNA diqoings
A story bearing upon the Sn<
ihanna strike, and reading like
'a romance, is told by Chris
jTjosevig, of Valdez, who u
-row in Cordova on his wav to
Keiinieolt, where he has valu*
aide mining properly.
1 hough the story sounds tike
a ta!e of fiction, the facts are
• borne out by the reports com
ing from the Sushanna as to
jihe richness of the strike, and
there are people now in the
! country who can verify tho
• truth of the story, which is
s ftdiows:
In the winter of 19C5 or early
| spring of 1900, a pospector.
|v hose name Mr. Tjosevig can
!n*»l recall, left Dawson for the
Xabesna country to prospeck.
Hr traveled alone, an-] nothing
was heard from him by his
; friends in Dawson, but late in
t!.-* summer, his wife, residing
i i Portland, Ore., received a
-letter from him slating that he
l.urf struck it rich on the Na
bu«na and was coming out in
the early winter as soon as the
snow had fallen sufficient to
make good sledding. In the
|letter was a crude map of the
region and a description of the
country where the strike was
made. Xothing further was
| heard from him. Early the
following winter the body of
ihe prospector was found near
Dawson, lying beside his sled,
where he had perished from
\cold and exposure. On the
sled was found $18,000 in gold
dust. The body and gold were
taken to Dawson and the wife
notified. Later the money
I was sent to her.
The following spring the
widow sent two men to Use
north with an outfit and a
| horse to find the diggings from
’which her husband had taken
| the gohl. Armed with the map
| they went to Valdez, and from
there to ihe Xabesna. As the
1 season was late and it was
|necessary to hasten to take ad
houtage of the snow trail, they
j carried a tight outfit. They
|remained in the Xabesna coun
try a< long as their provisions
lasted, and then gave up the
;search, having found nothing
O’i the Xabe«ua which answered
to the map and description of
Ihe country. One of ihe men. j
Hubert Thorson, remained in |
'he. country working on a mia j
ing claim until fall, when he
icturned to Valdez, where he
itc.s since made his residence.
The other man returned to the
States.
'f hor-en told the slory in
' ctdez and the ne.vi -pring a
Valdez man wen* to Portland
f«i search for the *idow and
obtain the map nr.d directions
■' • the purpose of making an
other search for ihe mine, but|
t is search was unsuccessful.
Thorsen however, remem
bered enough of the descrip
tion given in the letter to give
a general idea of (he region
described, which corresponds
with the descriptions sent out
i ecently from the Sushanna.
D- is presumed that the original
discoverer had mistaken the
Sushanna for the Xebesna, and
had bestowed that name upon
!he river where he had made
hi* find.
In the mind- of those who
ire familiar with the story
there remains no doubt what
c -'er that the new strike and j
Shot made bv the lone pros
pector in 1900 are identical.
