ACTIVITIES IN THE TOLSTOI
REPORTED BY JIM HALEY
HAVE ENCOURAGING TREND
James Haley of the firm of Griffis &
Haley. Bob Dunn. Dan Stewart, Wilford
Reno and Joe Kean made up a party which
arrived here on Sunday last from the Tol
stoi district. Practically all of the party in
tend to return there within the near future,
and all speak encouragingly of the pros
pects there. Mr. Haley is firmly of the
conviction that Tolstoi is bound to make
at least a 'mail producing camp. • nd there
is a possibility that developments in the near
future will insure a period of grea; activity
there. He gives the following items of news
regarding work being carried on there at
present:
Greer & McNulty, on the Emmet fraction,
Boot) creek, made a clean up on July 22,
and a conservative estimate of the result
was from $2.-10 to $2.n!) to the foot. Three
hundred and fifty feet of bedrock was
cleaned up. They are still hoisting, blocking
out and prospecting, and expect to ship in
machinery this fall.
Lars Otness, known as “Big Lars,” has
a lay on discovery, Boob, and began work
there on July 23.
James Pitcher and Ira \ an Ursdal are
prospecting No. 1 below, Boob. They re
port good prospects in two shafts.
Wally Laboski and Louis Stroup are pros
pecting on Glen gulch, a pup running into
Boob on the left limit, and report good in
dications.
Vinai and partner have taken a lease on
No. 3 below, and are doing prospecting
work.
Pete Murdock and H, Nicholson are work
ing on Wilson creek, a tributary of Ledge
creek. They have the same gravel anil bed
rock as on Booh. They are reticent as to
their operations, but are doing a great deal
of work.
Mike Laboski and Ed Fernell are sinking
on the lower end of Ledge creek, but have
obtained no results as yet, which is true also
of Hunniwell & Pearson’s work, at the
mouth of Ledge.
On Mastodon creek Bob Roberson and
Max Minard were representing a lot of
ground. They have sunk many holes on
Nos. 2, 3 and 4 below, and were moving to
No. 1 above when Haley left.
Murray, MeConnaughey. Beattie &
Duffy, on discovery. Mastodon, had found
a $10.50 nugget, and their hopes were cor
respondingly high, but subsecpuent work had
not yet located a paystreak.
Wilson creek, a tributary of Mastodon,
is said to be looking up. A Frenchman
whose name Haley did not recall has good
prospects there, but withheld further in
formation.
Tobias Perry has taken a number of op
tions on Hurst creek.
Max Simel is at the mouth of the Tolstoi,
on the Ditna, with his barge and a stock
of goods. This is about thirty miles from
Tolstoi.
Mr. Haley reports that he spoke with
Louis Peime of the gas boat Thomas Flyer.
He was disabled about fifty-five miles below
Dishkaket. He had the misfortune to break
the crank shaft and the base of his engine
was shattered, putting him completely out
of commission. He had a load of goods
for White & La Fergie, Cripple City.
Major Albrecht, Charles Taylor, Earl
Hunt and Charles Lovett reached Tolstoi
on July 20. Taylor, Lovett and Commis
sioner W. A. Vinal left shortly afterward
for Ophir. The recording office is closed
during the commissioner’s absence, but the
books are in charge of Earl Hunt, at the
Griffis & Haley store, where they are open
i for inspection.

interests in this district, his partner. .1. 1..
Riley being the purchaser.
The terms of the agreement provide that J

the Miners & Merchants Bank of Iditarod,
accompanied by a deed conveying lull title j
to the property hereinafter specifically de

11. M: rston t has this day agreed and by
these presents does agree to grant, sell and
forever quit claim unto the said part of the
second part (.1. E. Riley) the following de
scribed real and personal property."
The instruments enumerates the various
properties and the interests transferred by
the party of the first part as follows:
The Properties Involved

dred and fifty-sixths.

“This agreement is made in connection
with and co-ordinate to a certain escrow

the Miners & Merchants Bank of Iditarod,
and shall be binding upon the party hereto
and his heirs and assigns, executors and ad
ministrators. M. H. MARSTON.”
The instrument is witnessed by Charles
Ross and John Holmes.
Mr. Marston’s Connection with Iditarod
During all the years of mining activity in
the Otter creek diggings Mr. Marston has
been a prominent figure in its development,
and has played a big part in its interesting
history. He was one of the lucky ones to
be “staked in" on that creek by John Beaton
and W. A. Dikeman, on Christmas day,
1908. Mr. Marston, who was at the time in
the mining game in the Fairbanks camp,
arranged his business affairs there in such
manner that he could come to Iditarod and
cast his fortunes with the new camp whole
heartedly and completely. As a tangible
result of this determination Mr. Marston
was among the first to arrive at Discovery
in the summer of 1909 with a stock of
general merchandise, and his place of busi
ness was the first building started in that
town. Mert was the first miner in the camp
to deliver a real large poke of gold from
this section to the banks of Fairbanks.
Mr. Marston is an old-timer in the North.
He started to play the mining game ener
getically as a young man in the early Klon
dike days, and was among the first stam
peders from Dawson to the Fairbanks coun
try, and whatever success has attended his
strenuous efforts certainly have been well
.deserved. The Pioneer has no idea what
Mr. Marston’s future undertakings will be,
but it expresses the sentiments of his great
circle of friends that he may be prosperous.

SHIP KUSKOKWIM RIVER
DELAYED BY ACCIDENT
AND TOWEB INTO BETHEL
Duncan McDonnell, better known as
“Cinnabar” McDonnell, owner of promising
quartz properties on the lower Kuskokwim.
and an old-timer of that section, was a
visitor in the city on Sunday last. lie
brings word that the steamer Tana, which
went : round from the Yukon to the Kus
kokwim. lay at Bethel a whole month wait
ing for her connecting ocean boat, the
motorship “Kuskokwim River.” which boa.
threw her propellota- near Kodiak and had
to be towed the balance of the way. The
tugboat Columbia performed that service.
Mr. McDonnell came up the Kuskokwim
as far as Georgetown on the Tana, which
was en route to McGrath with two loaded
barges, nne carrying Northern Commercial
Company supplies and the other with a
part of the material for the Candle creek
dredge, belonging to Aitken & Riley, and
which is being built bv the Union Con
struct ion Company of San rrancisco.
Harry L; wrenoe, the agent of the North
ern Coinmercial Company at Tokotna, was
on board the Tana, returning home after
a long sojourn at Bethel, where he awaited
for six weeks the arrival of the Kuskokwim
River.
Mr. McDonnell states that Karl Thiele,
the former Iditarod merchant, was a pas
senger on board the Ku-kokwim River from
Seattle, and brought with him a stock of
goods to supply the Canyon creek country.
There are said to be about forty men work
ing on that stream this season, and they
are taking out considerable gold. Mr.
Thiele, it will be remembered, lost a com
plete stock of goods last year in the de
struction of the schooner Ruby, which was
burned off Douglas island after a memor
able voyage. The serious accident to the
Kuskokwim River while Mr. Thiele was a
passenger has led the Kuskokwim people to
regard him as somewhat of a Jonah.

pected to be here by the time the builders
