DAWSON NEWS
ABOUT STRIKE
Many StampedOrs From That
Section—Advise Stampeders
to Go Slow.
The following article appear
I (-cl in the Daws mi News of July.
25th, telling of the strike oil the
IShushana, and gives the informa
tion of the new diggings receiv
ed at the interior city:
i- The first details of the find of
placer on the headwaters of the
Shushana, a tributary of the up
per Tanana, to be received here
are brought by Fred Best, an
old-time Dawson man, who got
in yesterday. He came down the
White in a boat, which he took
pear the mouth of Beaver, or
Snag. He was seven days com
ing from the scene of the strike
to Dawson, about 275 miles. The
fast time was made owing to the
fact most of the journey was
mada down stream by boat.
Best is one of the original
party which staked in (he dis
trict. The strike was made in
May by Billy James and Nels Nel
son, while Fred was working near
there on another proposition.
Nelson was in Dawson shortly
after the strike, and went back
with a few friends, who have
staked 'Since. They include Dud
McKinney, former mayor of For
tymile; Tommy Doyle, of the
Bonanza saloon, Dawson, Andy
Taylor, the White river guide,
and several others. The boys in
the White river copper district
'also crossed to the strike and
staked. Jimmy Kingston, who left
here recently for the head of the
White, is said to have gone over
to stake, tt is believed prac
tically all the men in the White
river copper fields, and probably
a number of the survey crowd
have staked. Men from the Cor
dova side were coming in, and
several streams already were
-staked when Best left there.
“The strike,” says Best, is
thirty miles from the point where
the Beaver, which is the upper
part of Snag, crosses the boun
dary line. By going up the White
with a poling boat, and mush
ing by way of Snag and Beaver
across country, one cannot well
miss it. The men from the Cop
per river side have a mush of 90
miles to make, and have to come
through Scolai pass, and over the
glacier.
“The discovery claim was on
a stream named by the discov
erers Bonanza. This stream is 7
miles long, and runs into John
son creek, named after a Swede
prospector. Johnson runs into
Shushana several miles below
Bonanza.
•‘A tributary of Bonanza,
known as Little Eldorado, is stak
ed. Staking also was made at the
mouth of Number Eight pup, on
the left limit of Bonanza; and a
little farther up, on the right
limit, the boys staked a draw a
mile and a half long, known as
Coarse Money gulch. 1 got num
ber three on Bonanza. James
and Nelson, who made the find,
staked before me. Practically all
of Little Eldorado and Bonanza,
have been staked, and some dis
lancc over a divide to the north
ward, the boys have staked on
what is known as Gold Run, and
one or two other creeks.
“I will not state how much
>the boys were taking out, tout
will say it will be a camp. There
is plenty of water in the creeks,
and it rains often. When b left
JtfcKinnon, Doyle, Jamds, Nelson
and others had up their sluice
boxes and were shoveling in. The
ground is shallow, not more than
four or six feet deep, and is
thawed in summer to bedrock.
"I will return in a few days
with grub, which 1 came out to
get. I believe the best way there
is to pole up the White. The
original creteks are all staked.
There is much gravel in the
country. I am not encouraging
Reports yesterday were that as
high as #8P to #120 a day to the
man was shoveled in. But Beet
will (not talk oh that. Sid Bar
rington sent two men up yester
day with a horse, to go in from
Coffee, and others are planning
to go, but there is no general
movement. The fact the coun
try already has been plastered
by so many who got the early tip
and were close by, and the fact
the poorer of attorney was used
freely, mean# the country is now
in all probability staked over
most of the streams close to the
discovery. Fred Waon, surveyor,
who wintered in Dawson, is in
the district. He arrived there
lately.
■Billy Johnson, driver for the
Cascade Laundry, who staked
James and Nelson, has an in
terest in the strike. He says he
got word the find was a wage
proposition, and nothing over
(which to be excited. The creeks ■
ar,e |pn the American side, >30
miles from the boundary.
STANTON SAYS
GO VIA GULKANA
(Continued from page 1.)
and fording what streams they
jencounter;, no high divides or
glaciers to cross.
Ed. McConnell leaves here to
day for the new camp. He cross
ed Scolai Pass with horses 10
years ago en route to Fairbanks
from Nazina, and he pronounces
that route the most practicable
that route -most impracticable.
Ed. Bartlett, of Fairbanks, is
expected here with a pack train
bound for the new diggings. Bud
Sargent, representing Bratnober
interests, has freighted outtflts
into Nebesna via Oulkana and
Copper river for years. Carl
Whitman, one of (lie most suc
cessful locators on the Shushana,
also goes this way. Siampeders
are leaving here daily.
Paulson reports I hat I here are
in all seven creeks having pay,
and everything indicates a large
and permanent camp. Summer
trail this route swampy and soft
in places on account or ’ack of
drainage. Old Eagle City trail is
used for over CO miles. With a
■little government assistance a
good road coum be established.
Possible for excellent winter
trail by use Valdez-Fair,banks
road to this point, thence over
the Eagle City or Copper river
trail to Saina and across the di
vide to the Shushana.
