Thefts By Indians.
Copi er Center, March 12.
"*e are having fine weather her*
and there is every indication that
we will have a later spring this
year than usual.
A number of people are going
through here on the way to the
Tanana strike. Caldwell, Field and
party started this morning. Hun
tington and Hawes passed through
about a week ago. Mockler, Ben
net and Kcinherger caught them
here and left with them.
Indians have begun stealing this
year. A couple of nights1 ago 250
pounds of provisions was stolen
from Caldwell’s cache, three miles
up the Copper. The goods were
taken by the Gulkana tribe. They
wen* seen by the Tazlina operator
sledding it up the river. It is hard
to tell how things will turn out
when Caldwell catches them. About
twelve days ago they broke into
Fish’s cache and carried awaysome
grub. I don’t know how much.
There is no excuse for this steal
ing ut the present time, for to my
knowledge they have over $200 in
cash in the Gulkana tribe, beside
many furs. There is a good sup
ply of provisions at Copper Center
and at the various points between
here ami \ aide/, which they can
buy at very reasonable prices.
Chief John and about thirty In
dians from Mentasta are sitting
down here now.
