Willow Street, Mitarod A. Wallace, Prop.
One thing that should be borne
in mind is the fact that the Kusko
kwitn stampede is based simply on
guesswork as to what the ground
may contain. There has been little
it any prospecting done, and there
is one whole segregated section,
known as the Smeaton and Larson
strike on Snow gulch where only
three holes had been put down to
bedrock, according to the latest ad
vices.
Max Altman and Otto Kroelile
returned from Donlan creek last
Wednesday. They had staked
Crooked creek, Horseslme and
other tributaries of Donlan. Crooked
creek is 13 miles from the Kus
kokwim
They found plenty of surface
prospects on these streams and they
reported that Smeaton ami Larson
had three holes down on Snow
gulch, two of them being on pay
As far as the/ knew, that was the
extent of actual underground work
that had been accomplished in that
locality this summer.
They brought word of the stak
ing of Crevice creek, a tributary oi
Donlan, 17 miles above the month
of Crooked creek, by Stevens and
Jack Caunalley where these men
had found excellent prospects, tak
ing their pans ftotn creek bars and
mi the rim. The ground is all very
shallow, but all the piot eers in the
country have been too busy staking
every thing in sight to indulge in
the more serious business of sink
ing holes.
Snow Gulch is 8 miles above
Crevice creek and here it is that
Smeaton and Larson, Satn Sander
son and other partners, and close
friends of the discoverers are doing
the first real development work.
Donlan creek is a stream about
the size of Otter. Altman and
fCroehle took one thousand pounds
of provisions up this creek to the
mouth of Crooked where they will
nuild a cabin and commence their
winter prospecting. They secured
this grub at Hoffman’s Trading
post, which is 40 miles below
Georgetown. At the time they se
mred the allotment there wete
only twenty tons at that point but
tceording to tl.eir best information,
.lie Kuskokwim Commercial com
pany expected to land two hundred
:011s at Georgetown by the end ol
September. This supply was to
come back trom the Tokatna where
it had been shipped earlier in the
season. In addition to this, the
Luskokwim Commercial is count
ing on the late shipment of goods
from the Outside that has been re
:erred to in these columns before
The Northern Comineicial com
pany is making arrangements to
bring part of the provisions bad
from Takotna, wherefore it appears
that there will be in the neighbor
hood of 700 tons of supplies at
Georgetown before the freezenp.
If this prognostication be correct
then it would seem that George
town is destined to be a real city
1 here are some who say that town
site boomers are already busy stak
ing that beautiful townsite with an
eye to futuie city' halls and council
chambers. Indeed, it has been
rumored that there are over 100
people there now whose sole object
iu life is to see that Georgetown be
laid out according to the new
thought, or according to the latest
word in metropolitan construction.
The Kuskokwitn reminds those
who have recently returned, of the
Hudson, that is, those who have
been fortunate enough to see the
Hudson. It is a deep, slow-moving
river where the channel listeth not
and deep going can be had from
Bethel. They say that sea going
boats can reach Bethel. They also
say that boats drawing as much as
six feet can reach Georgetown. In
proof of this they rite figures to the
effect that grub is quite cheap ovei
there.
Fredricks has a trading post and
they are grouping themselves
around him. He has already given
the Kuskokwim Commercial com
pany a location and by this time,
it is almost certain that he has done
the same for the Northern Com
mercial.
The townsite lays high and dry
on a gravel foundation and just be
hind it lays plenty of timber where
the ax men are supremely busy.
As near as can be ascertained, they
have not yet selected a town coun
cil, but this will undoubtedly blos
som with the flowers of spring.

TWAS PLAIN CASE OF
MISTAKEN iOENTiTY
There was merry war on at the
courthouse lust week just because
somebody mistook a bundle of logs be
longing to Teddy Miles for logs be-'
longing to George Blanschio and Mike
Dawson, or to state it adversely, some
body mistook Teddy Miles for Mike
Dawson and grabbed Teddy's logs,
whereat the latter let out a long and
painful wail that was heard all through
the courthouse.
U. M. Dickey et al. were in court
with a complaint whereby they alleged
that George Brunschio owed them $330.
They sued out au attachment and the
levy was made upon the logs belonging
to Teddy as aforesaid.
Then Blanschio and Dawson came in
and confessed judgment, getting there
just before Miles, who came in to reg
ister the afo 'em on tioned heller about
the officers of the law who were trying
o take his logs away from him on a
debt he didn't owe.
With matters in this pleasant tangle,
the attorneys—J. S. Harding for plaint
iffs and Judge J. C. Moody for Miles—
went to the mat and fought it out while
judge and jury refereed the bout.
Harding hud a confessed judgment
and an attachment on logs that did not
belong to the defendants. Moody's
■lient owed no bill but. bis logs were
bed by a duly plastered writ of attach
ment. Harding sought to show that
there was some sort of connivance
going on in an effort to beat him out of
his attachment, but after seven dozen
witnesses more er less had been exam
ined, the court finally concluded that
.' here was no warrant for holding Miles'
logs to pay Blanschio and Dawson’s
debt, and accordingly ordered the at
tachment dissolved.
