“The Caswell will leave here about

BOATING ON THE SHUSHETNA
Prospector Tells How to (iet up the
River From the Inlet
For the information of prospectors
who may wish to go up the Shushetna
river to prospect this summer the fol
lowing description of the river from
the inlet to the forks was written for
the Gateway by H. P. Gallagher, who
spent the summer of 1W4 prospecting
and exploring along the upper Shu
shetna. going up by boat.
The usual route up the river has
been by way of Tyoonok. The village
of Tyoonok is situated at the upper end
of Cook inlet, about twenty miles
from the entrance to the river.
Twenty-five miles up the river is
Shushetna station. Small boats start
'll _ from Tyoonok on the tide, with
small sail can usually make the river
nearly to the station on one tide. A
_ood breeze equally accompanies the
tide, which runs seven or eight miles
an hour. It is always advisable for
those who have not made the trip and
who are not familiar with the entrance
into the river to hire a native at
Tyoonok to pilot them as far as the
station, or to the mouth of the Yentna,
which empties into the Shushetna not
far from the station.
It i- extremely dangerous to attempt
to make the mouth of the Shushetna if
one is not thoroughly familiar with
the coast line, as the river cannot he
seen until the l>oat is quite close to it.
on account of the dense growth of
underbrush and trees which from a
distance completely hide it from view.
And it is important that the boat
should get into the river on one tide,
for should the tide turn and leave a
boat on the mud flats, which are ex
posed for a mile or two out at low tide
except in the river channels, the boat
w ould be in danger of beingswamped in
the m*xt tide. In coming down the
river after leaving the station one
should catch the full ebb tide. In case
of heavy wind or storm he should go
into camp until it is over.

>hown the gravel beds are of extensive
area and will la>t for many years.
The quality is of the best for the mak
ing of cement. Five machines have
been -set up to make blocks of different
descriptions and about ten men will be
employed in cement making.
