Ous Johnson Returns From New
8trfke—Future of Camp in
Doubt, He Says.
(Ins Johnson, the prospector
and miner, who was operating in
the Strelna country at the time
when the iirsl news of the Shu
shanna-strike was brought to Mc
Carty, who immediately left with
Jim McConnell, taking two horse
loads of supplies and equipped to
remain for a number of months,
returned to Valdez today, coming
out Via Cordova.
Mr. Johnson says H is as yet
too early to say what the out
come of the new camp will be.
He found upon his arrival that
the men from Dawson had secur
ed the best ground and that the
ground for miles around discov
ery had been located, relocated,
jumped and counterjumped.
“The' late comers,” said Mr.
Johnson, “who are not equipped
to remain in this winter, lake op
tions or lease! ground already
staked, have no reason for going
in, as it is certain that they can
not locate near the present dis
covery.
“1 spent ten days in that sec
tion and am convinced that if the
camp is large its hope is in the
frozen benches, as the claims be
ing worked by the James boys
are shallow, not over two feet of
ground and no big boulders. The
pay is about 8100 a day to the
shovel.
“The creeks are without grav
el wash and the benches have not
behn prospected. The country is
rolling.”
When asked about the routes,
Johnson, who has spent many
years mushing over the trails id'
the interior, said that lie <1 id not
consider the route ) via Scolai
pass dangerous, but would ad
vise anyone taking in a large out
lit to go via the dulkana route
to the head of the Copper river.
