W hen Angus McDougal and
Joe Demiuzie left for the new
diggings near the head of tin*
Tazlina and Nelchina rivers they
were the lirst of the stampeders
to go from Valdez. Today there
is no other topic of conversation
and every person who can got
away is apparently getting ready
dr is already on their way. .
The., coinmitteq appointed at
Ihe .meeting, on Monday, night to
iVajse funds to sdpd a party in ,to
*the new camp to report on jls
mqri,ts have not found U' neces
sary to, raise any large amount
owing to the number of men go
ring in op thqir own, account.
They reason.,that with so many
reliable men going and the .fact
that Ed. Wood is there now the
news of the camp will soon he
brought out and if warranted
the money can be spent to good
advantage in preparing shelter
houses oil the trail for the safe
ty of travelers. They have ar
ranged with se\erai who are go
ing to make a special effort to
send information hack as soon
as possible.
Among those who left this af
ternoon was (ilo 1111 Names who
will go light and expects to make
a hurried trip, tie is acquainted
with many of the miners men
tioned as being in on the strike
and states that both Joe and
George Palmer are very reliable
and would not report having ta
ken out gold if they had not done
so. He says A. W. Hall, who was
mentioned in the Gateway as
having located good ground is
also reliable and that lie brought
gold out to Knik two years ago
while Mr. Names was there, lie
reported having good prospects
and had hopes of developing a
paystreak.
Among those leaving today
were: Jell' Heviuney, Al Moore,
John (forage, II. Johnson, Gus
Henke. They will go in via Teik
hell and on over the divide to the
Notching and its tributaries.
Among those going in light ex
pecting to make a hurried trip
are: Glenn Names, Krnest Ol
son, If has. Anderson. William
Richards, John Frollill, J. (fa
mine r.arochelle. Pete Hogliani,
Paul Capris, Her, Semple and
several others wim names were
not learned.
The Heviuney parly will go in
over the trail as far as Tiekhcll
and will then take the old trail
over Ouarly, creek l-o Klutina lake,
thence up St. Ann's river to Tax
liua lake, up Ta/.lina river to its
headwaters, where a strike, is re
ported to have been made, and
across the divide to Nelchina riv
l-r and its tributaries.
TEAR HAD NARROW
ESCAPE IN THE ICE
That. I In* miller Bear came
‘Within an at’c* of being wrecked
during her lasl I rip to I'm* north
i;- a fad which lias jusl become
known. When she-got into I he.
ice slie was in a current that ran
ni I In* rate of six miles an hour.
At one time she was drifted by
this current towards two great
icebergs which were grounded
and stood up to a height of about
sixty feet. As she drove towards
{liein her predicament seemed to
be. a bad one indeed. She came
on them sideways, absolutely at
the mercy of the current but by
a strange freak nhe was driven
right between them and only suf
fered a si.nall' Crushing at “the
fyl^rm This crushing was /bad
enough,, however,, to cause her to'
spring asniall leak, but sh^ shot1
through between the' bergs with
out ‘meeting with any greater
damage,, although things looked
so bad at one l^me that the na
tives aboard began io put ,on
tWif mukluks and prepare to
cI^Waiv&'s’sr» strong iftl?
she was drivejn over several ice
cakes at various times and driv
en iff a manner that caused the
l great cakes to rear on end and
rise all around ber. U is said
I hat a boat has ■seldom been
placed in so dangerous a posi
tion and that the Bear was not
lost is believed to be due to a

whiciv they were; forced to abaii

Canadian mini's try of agriculture
has been requested to take steps
to protect the settlers against the
depredation of wild horses. It
appears that these horses have
made raids upon the ranches of
the new settlers in the Peace riv

and leading away others which
have been imported ht consider

are supposed to. do descendants
of the horses abandoned during,

The Undaunted Man.

acres, all doomed by weal her fa
kers who got the climate mixed;
be watched the dust clouds swirl

he said: “It’s gone, 1 reckon;
it’s 'shriveled up,' by heck, an’ it1

it’s mighty grievo'fas; such thingsj
will always peevp us--but Witer.

Piece of Ore From Gold King on
H Exhibition in Windo* of n
George F. White.
Chariots Crawford, superintend
ent of the Gold King mine, ar
rived in town last night from
the property, bringing with him
another three hundred ounce gold
brick, which has been the pro
duct of the mill during the week.
He also brought a big piece of
quartz which is now on exhibi-r
tion in the windows of George
While, the assayer.
The piece of quartz, which is
about twenty pounds, is literally
covered with gold and on one side
carries a nugget which would
weigh about two ounces. The
specim<)u has been, viewed by
many mining men and their es
timates of its value cover a wide
range, some placing the value of
the twenty pounds at $100, while
others are equally confident that
it is worth nearer $500.
When first brought in the spec
imen was covered with rust but
has been carefully washed by Mr. \
White and is ail object which’
would enllhuse any ’ (person, :
whether they knew anything of
quartz or otherwise. The speci
men was taken from the ore pay
shoot to which the tunnel is now
being driven and is an indication j
of what may be expected when
the ore body is encountered.
The rock shows that it has
been broken from the ledge and
that it is no small stringer. The J
lead from which it was taken has
been followed to a depth of over
one hundred feet and has been
found to widen with depth and
to continue its values.
The specimen is one which .
Should be ke'pt, for, while others
will be found which may possibly
be even richer, it would form a ■
part of the Alaska exhibit at the '
Sail Francisco fair which would
show tin* world that the Valdez
district was second to mine in !
rich gold-bearing ores.
