BIG STRIKE ON
THE TULISAK
_
Tributary to Kuskokwim Shows
$65 Per Day to Every Man
M ho Works a Rocker.
Nome, Alaska, Sept 26—Special to
the Seattle Times—After a score of
years of persistent prospecting, placer
gold in paying quantities has at last
been struck on the Kuskokwim, and
Nome is on the verge of a stampede
the like of which has not been seen
since the earliest days of the camp.
The new strike was reported here a
few days ago by Duncan McDonell, one
of the best known prospectors in the
North, who has been working through
the Kuskokwim country for more than
two years past.
According to McDonell, the pay has
been tapped on the Tulisak river, a
tributary of the Kuskokwim, and the
earliest days of Dawson are recalled by
the richness of the new strike. Fifty
and sixty dollars to the pan is being
rocked out every day and the lucky
ones who are now in the district are
hardly stopping for sleep, so eager are
they to take advantage of the few days
that intervene before the ice ties up
the water.
It has been the general belief, based
upon years of barren prospecting, that
there would be no placer fields found
in the Kuskokwim valley. The gravel
almost everywhere shows “color", but
it has always been very fine and in
such minute quantities that it promis
ed no pay. Hard rock is there in
plenty, gold, copper and antimony
ledges have been found all along the
river, but the placer miners have be
come much discouraged by years of
persistent bad luck.
That the news of the strike on the
Tulisak will flood the Kuskokwira with
prospectors as soon as the freeze-up
comes is a foregone conclusion, for the
reason that it lies within comparative
ly easy reach of three established
camps. Prospectors from Fairbanks
can reach it over a good winter trail
by way of Kantishna river and over a
low divide through the Alaska Coast
Range, which separates the Kusko
kwim headwaters from those of the
Kantishna. The new camp on the In
noko has a good trail forty-five miles
long across the divide to McGrath, a
station on the Kuskokwim river, about
500 miles up from its mouth, and Nome
is also close at hand.
Mining men who know McDonell
place great faith in his report for the
reason that they consider his word his
bond.
Confectionery. We have the best.
