LETTER FROM THE TOLSTOI
GIVES LATEST INFORMATION
CONCERNING NEW CAMP
TOLSTOI, June t>. A movement is on
foot here for the establishment < f a post
office. and Commissi'>ner Vinal is circulat
ing a petition to that effect. It has been
decided to change the name of the town
from Cooper to Tolstoi. I he big crowd
that was expected with the opening of navi
gat ion has failed to materialize, although
there have been numerous arrivals, and
more are reported on the way. rlho gasboat
Loewe-Victor made four trips from the
lending on the Tcdstoi with merchandise.
Jack Mutchler brought two horses here from
Wuodehopper creek, and another party
brought three head. Mutchler intends to
use his horses scowing on the river.
Trank Morgan has arrived with his res
taurant outfit and will open up at once.
The development of this camp is slow,
but there has been enough work dune to
show, in the opinion of ol 1 timers, that it
there is a pay streak in the district it is not
in the present creek channels. There have
been scores of holes sunk to bedrock din
ing the past two months without encomi
tering pay. The only ones who are in
shape to do anything this summer art1 Creer
<fc McNulty, on the fraction in Bo. b. and
the discoveiers on Mastodon. Both outfits
will be working in a small way this summer.
No new developments are looked f- r until
dribs are put into use here. The win L
district is staked, and there is not mud
to induce a new arrival to prospect a “wd 1
cat" for an iuterot.
There will be more ground open n°xt fall
than there is now, as much of it will not
be recorded, although staking it ties it up
for ninety daps. Many who have been pros
pccting the past two months are ureparng
to leave, as they will have to work 1 he bal
ance of the summer to get outfits.
While prr.-ent conditions do not justify
a stampede, it is expected that next f.di it
will be a good place for prospector*. The
ground is deep and frozen to 1 e truck, and
it is a difficult task t«* move a boil r around:
in summer.
Tint the pav*‘reak i-= difficult to locale
may be judged from Madix i's cx;:rr;ioe.
He has be nr r *ting in this district din
ing the past nine years almost continual! ly
and ha* been on all of the creeks with the
exception of Bo; b cimk. width did not
lock enough like a crock to be worth pr is
peeling. He bedrackcd holes on all the
main creeks, and the but res* 1 he was abl
to obtain was 17 cents to the foot mi L
peranza creek, where he is working now.
The Van Or:da!c and Edv/arch Accident
Ira Van Orsdale and V:1 Howards were
overcome by gas in th'ir shaft on Glen
gulch and had a narrow escape from death.
But for the presence of Arthur Eaton, who
was visiting them, the accident would h; v ■
resulted fatally to both.
Van Orsdale was working in the -haft
and Edwards was on the windlass. They
had just struck gravel, and evilent’y en
countered a pocket of gas. which ov re me
Van Orsdal \ Edwards descended the sit aft
and made the p j e fast to Van Orsdal 1
and in turn was overcome by the gas
Eaton pulled Van Orsdale cut am! throw
some water down the -haft, which revived
Edward- so that he w. - : Me to fa*ten th.

Both men l ave fully iv vered. but they

A ietter from Earl Hunt, dated Tol toi,
June 6, reports his arrival at that canr,
with the merchandise of Griins & Ilal y. of

new pay has been found recently, but con
firms the previous reports with reference to
the operations of Greer & McNulty, on B .■*!)
creek. He says they put a hi le down 200
feet below their first pay hole and fi.und
the same pay. AHo a hid? fifty feet deep
cn the bench disclosed the same pay.
Ruby Tamarack Returns
The launch Ruby Tamarack, operated by .
Griffis & Haley, returned from the ToNtoi
on Tuesday last. The launch had carried
the freight as far as the mouth of Mastodon
creek, from whence it was taken to Cooper j
by the Loowe Victor. Mr. Haley expressed
himself as being confident from what he
had learned in the new district that it was
bound to make a camp, and had an optimis
tic story of developments there. His con
fidence in the district is shared by many
>thers who have recently returned from
there.
Dan Gillis Is Hera
Dan Gillis, with his launch, the Loewe
Victor, arrived in Iditarod on Sunday last,
coming from the Tol-toi. lie is quite proud
of the achievement of his vessel in navigat
ing the upper waters of the Tolstoi. The
peculiar construction of his boat made ii !
possible for him to reach Cooper, or Tolstoi i
as it is now called, which was impossible
for the ordinary craft. Dan will make an
other trip to the district soon. “Timber- I
