TELLS OF STRIKE
Interesting ^Letter From Com
missioner d’Heirry at Chit
ina—Good Reports.
iChitina, July 29.—The .strike
in the Shushana has caused no
end of excitement in this sec
tio of the country, resulting in
this town being depopulated of
its men folks, save me lame, halt
and federal officeholders. A let
tier received today from Judge
Healy, who is no\V on his way
into the: new gold fields, says he
met a man by the name of Stacey
(in the trail. Slacey had been in
the. diggings for several days and
was coming out for an outfit,
having gone in light. He says the
reports of the strike heretofore
sent out were not exaggerated.
On discovery claim, Eldorado, a
man who he knew panned the
gravel (from (different parts inf
the cut on the end of his shov
el, the prospects averaging two
dollars to I he shovel.
Tilt* pay appears to extend ov
er nine creeks so far prospect
ed and a ricli strike is reported
from across a divide, indicating
that gold is pretty evenly" scat
tered. Many men are rushing in
without an outfit, and as a eon
sequeee there will be suffering
for lack of food, and no doubt
many of those who have gone in
without supplies will soon be'
compelled to track ^1 heir way
back. About 55 head of horses
have been purchased in Seattle
and are being shipped up to
,freight into that section, there
not being a spare horse left in
the Copper River valley, we hav
ing but one here in Chitina. If
the rush continues the mines in
this section will have to close
for lack of men. The Kennicott
people have raised the wage scale
to four dollars a day in the hope
of staying the drain on their
forces.
The trail by way of Scolai Pass
is^a bad and dangerous one ow
ing to the high waters in the
rivers and the glaciers that have
to be crossed. The most prob
able route to the uew* camp will
be via this place, thence up the
Copper river to the Susloto, and
thence down the Nabesna, over to
the White river. By this route,
in* winter, large loads can be
hauled, there being no high di
vides1 or deep snow, the entire
route being in timber.
JA'e people here look upon the
strike as a legitimate find of
great value and look forward to
a large camp being started just
west of the Canadian boundary.
In this case there was no in
centive for anyone to start a
stampede, as there are no road
houses to be benefited and no
one has stocks to sell in the pew7
land Inf promise. Im %*ct the
first reports of the strike came
from DaWson, where the Janies
hoys had'sent their dust and had
purchased provisions. We peo
ple here read of the Shushana
strike in the Fairbanks papers
and ,even then did not know we
were the gateway to the most re
i cet Alaska Eldorado, until part
ies *came out over Scolai Pass
an4 gave out the information.
