on others, for a gang of railroad con
struction workers, for he pulled us
right on through the new town—and
incidentally thru the rain—nto the
woods and up tnc line to the end of
steel, l’ut we wanted to stop at the
canvas station already passed, and
when we awakened him from his rev
erie he very obligingly backed up and
dropped us off and then vanished into
the Little Susitna valley.
Uneventfully we proceeded to Mile
:;2, via the Schough Transfer, lunch
ed, thence packed over the pass and
dropped down into Willow creek val
ley, through snow, mud and rain to
our destination.
We packed all our needed supplies
two miles up the mountains to Wet
Gulch, set up our two tents, packed
dry wood for kindling up there on
our backs—only scrubby willows grow
above the timber line—and all in a
drizzling, bleak, constant, chilling
rain.' It rained for sixteen days with
only an occasional foggy intermission
to get a fresh bold. July 4 it snowed
ten inches.
Soaking Wet All the Time
We worked in the creek building
dams. We worked in the mud digging
ditches. We also worked to get and
keep a tire. What, with the green,
soggy, willow wood and only a few
slivers of dry spruce we hardly con’d
cook our food, keep out the dampness
and dry wet clothing in a constant
pelting downpour. We slept in wet
garments and in a wet bed most of the
time.
Then one day the man that had come
with me left me. We had built a fine
dam, lined a 200-yard ditch and dug
muck and blue clay and scrub willows.
We had not got the water in the ditch,
had not begun to put through the
gravel, and so had made no clean-up
when I was left alone. I had a ten
inch canvas hose at the intake, drop
ping to a six-inch final and a four
inch nozzle. It was rocky ground.
My boxes were heavy, new, green lum
ber. It was work for two men.
I had been ill. I had only a short
time previously undergone two surgi
cal operations at the government hos
pital. 1 believed in my ground, how
ever, and so I buckled on the armor
of desperation and attacked the work
alone.
Ditch Is Completed
I completed my ditch, attached hose
anil nozzle and set my boxes, packing
gunnysucks below my riffles to hold

PRINTING Of THE BETTER KIND
the black sand and fine gold and turn
ed on the water. Although it rained 1
was exceedingly ha^py. Especially was
1 happy when l saw that I was putting
through a full cargo of gravel and
tumbling down the bench loam, and
boulders at a rate to make a sour
dough’s heart glad. But as already
stated, it was a two-man job, and 11
overworked and overchilled my blood
in the iccwater—my boots soon be-1
came leaky—and headaches and vom
iting with a ten-day lay-olT resulted.
Cleaning up, however, 1 saw that I was
getting good color, and so 1 was en
thusiastic and Idled with'optimism.
Then one day 1 lifted a great slab
of schist rock mucking out my “glory
hole,’’ slipped, hung onto the rock like
a drowning man to a spar, fell on my
back with the rock on top of me, sus
tained a fractured rib, lost conscious-j
ness and lay in the mud and rain for
hours. It was dark when 1 returned
to earth, and the rock was still hold-'
ing me to its fond embrace.
Chilled Through and Through
My hands seemingly had turned to
ice, and my blood to icewater. All the
stars had turned to purple-white air
ships and were rushing around in a
mad swirl that never got them any
where except all around and above am
about me. But I wriggled out from
under the rock, then rolled over an<
crawled across the creek and into m\ i
tent and into my bunk. There, witr 1
wet and muddy garments I lay unti
I was dried out. After a good rest
l was able to get about my camp.
1 never saw a soul until I went down
the mountain again to my old cabin
There l experienced the enviable joy
of finding that the cabin had .been
broken into and that most of my sup
plies were gone. Luckily, however,
there remained some food. I had
brought with me from Seattle al nice
new flyrod, which went with the rest,
so I fished with a willow bush am
caught all T could eat.
Thief Visits lent
My next surprise occurred when 1
was able to get back to my tent up at
the mine. There I had left upwards
of $100 worth of food supplies, not
to mention tools and camp outfit.
This, also, had been visited in my ab
sence. Most of the food was gone,
and the bedding had been tied and
suspended to the pole and the tools all
piled nicely together ready for a re
turn trip. Then I went to look for
the live-gallon gasoline can of black
sand I had cached so carefully away
where no prying eye could find it, and
discovered that the sand also had van
ished, but the can had been left be
hind. So 1 was saved the trouble of
packing out my summer’s clean-up.
I took my little old Savage ai?d
hiked out over Bald mountain. At
the little Susitna river I constructed
a raft of dry spruce logs, having de
cided not to swim its icy current
again as I had in June. I had taken
along my little axe and some spikes
to make the raft.
Raft Is Overturned
The raft held me up beautifully and
I was just shaking hands with myself
over by bit of success when( with an
extra hard punch with the pole I sent
the improvised raft into the quick wa
ter, and in a flash I was at the bot
tom of the river, with pack, gun and
a very little gold dust. This acciden
tal cold bath saved the life of a black
bear I had noticed feeding on the far
side of a little pond. Night came on
and I trudged many miles before I
slept again in my wet clothes at Wa
silla. This is the way I avoid taking
cold in such cases.
But Willow creek is all right, and
despite thieves, rain and other ob
stacles too numerous to mention, I (
am going back as soon as I get the j
result of the assay on some quartz I
brought out with me, which looks like
the real molasses.
