ALASKA DISTRICT
PROSPECTOR WITH POKE OF
PLACER GOLD BROUGHT
NEWS OF DISCOVERY .
Twenty years ago, a ragged pros
pector drawing a small handsled
emerged from the night into the
then pulsating placer camp of
Girdwood, located well up Turn
again Arm where it cuts back into
the rugged country from upper
Cook Inlet. The prospector paid
his score at the roadhouse with
coarse gold. Seasoned miners, ac
quainted with the character of gold
in every known region, pronounced
that poured from the stranger’s
poke to be foreign — that is, not
mined either in Hope, Sunrise,
Moose Pass or Girdwood.
When asked whence he came, the
prospector merely replied: “From
over the hill.”
“Over the hill” in the Girdwood
country covered a wide area with
many directions to choose from.
Many chose, but few were able to
trace the source of the stranger’s
poke.
Then it leaked out that “Judge”
Goodall, U. S. Commissioner at Ju
neau/had from time to time shipped
out gold supplied him by the
stranger. According to legend many
thousands of dollars found their
way to the U. S. Assay Office at
Seattle thru “Judge” Goodall’s
hands, all of which was brought in
by the mysterious stranger.
Before his death, many years
ago, “Judge” Goodall gave out the
information that his client said he
had secured the gold from some
place in the vicinity of the Nellie
Juan fjord, which thrusts its tongue
deep into the rugged landscape
some 25 miles east of Seward and
well into the waters of Prince Wil
liam sound.

SUIT AGAINST RECALL
LOS ANGELES, Mar. 25.—A tem
porary restraining order was sign
ed by a Los Angeles Superior Court
judge in behalf of a Los Angeles
atxpayer to prevent the city from
holding a mayor recall election on
May 3. The restraining order based
its action on the fact that the
petitions for the recall of Mayor
John Porter had not been filed
regularly and according to law
“WHAT A MAN” AGAIN
LOS ANGELES, Mar. 25.—“What
a man” Hudson was charged by a
woman of petty theft. It was said
he loaned a suitcase from the wo
man but sold it in Seattle. The
judge refused to issue a warrant,
saying the difficulty was a civil
matter. “Ma” said she would fight
for her man so long as she had
vitality left.
CANADA HOPEFUL
OTTAWA, Mar. 25. —A hopeful
export outlook for Canadian wheat
is held here and the cattle exports
are expected to be on a par or even
better than in previous years. Lum
ber shipments out of the Canadian
provinces are expected to show a
substantial increase and nickle ex
ports to the United Kingdom are
in a healthy condition.
Last tributes of respect to Thos.
Bare, of Ophir, were paid recently
at that mining town, reports the
Kusko Times in commenting upon
the oldtimer’s funeral.
New comes the story of a man
■who wandered the region in search
of mountain sheep- Far up the lit
tle stream leading into Nellie Juan
he found evidences of ancient
workings. How old these workings
are no one can compute, but some
of them appear to have been creat
ed by the early Russians, gauged
by the stumps of trees of large di
mensions which were cut and whip
sawed for sluice boxes.
Seek Placer Field
With maps of the region contain
ing tracings of the old workings,
now almost obliterated by -time,
parties will start a hunt for what
is believed to be rich placer field.
According to the legends, the
man who shipped his gold thru
“Judge” Goodall, said he picked
the nuggets from a shallow creek
leading into the Nellie Juan river,
or Portage River, at the head of
Portage Bay. Thus giving rise to
the belief that the old Russion
workings are but a key to the final
discovery of rich ground.
Hunters who have penetrated the
region pronounce it overlain with
glaciers for about two months in
late summer. It is the belief that
on one of the creeks leading from
a glacier the rich pay will be found.
Golden Paradise
The legendary lost mine is but
one of the lures beckoning to the
prospector along the shores o f
Prince William sound and Nuka
Bay, the latter approximately 75
miles west of Seward. Grizzled pros
pectors, too old to-leave the little
log cabin and climb the hills, report
large ledges of free milling gold ore
lying back fium the water’s edge.
These reported finds cannot b e
reached from the ocean owing to
the rugged barrier of hills interven
ing, and the immense glaciers that
spread like spiderweb froh higher
peaks. It must be tackled from the
Cook Inlet side or from the Moose
Pass region, where the gold-bearing
ledges emerge from the rugged up
land and across into Hope and Gird
wood, regions that have produced
many millions of dollars in lode and
placer gold.
The days of exciting stampedes
passed with 'the saloon and the
boomers. It requires something
more than a few colors in a pan to
send men scurrying into the very
Arctic. But many of the legends
which died many years ago have
returned, along with visible evi
dence of verity and prospectors are
expected to confirm many of them
during the coming summer when
every man who is not otherwise en
gaged will head for the hills vrith
pick, shovel and pan.

Among the bills offered and
j which have been ordered printed
by the House is the Wickersham
House Resolution 9843, “A bill to
establish a Supreme Court for the
: Territory of Alaska, etc.” A copy
of the bill was recently received by
The Gateway.
! Under the provisions of the bill,
jthe Supreme Court would be com
iposed of four district judges in the
Territory, any three of which will
constitute a quorum. The court
will possess, so far as is necessary
to its appellate jurisdiction, all of
the powers and jurisdiction of a
district court and shall be the judge
thereof.
The incentive of this bill is to
relieve litigants from the burden
some expense of taking appeal
cases to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals in the States. It
is estimated that the average cost
of such appeals exceeds $2,000,
making it impossible for litigants
I of small means to have final judg
ment passed by an appellate court.

SAYS KETCHIKAN PAPER
The American Can company is
filing articles of incorporation in
the Territory of Alaska. This was
made known b y the Ketchikan
Chronicle.
Although the matter of incor
poration in Alaska is a formality
followed by many outside corn-*
panies, observers are inclined to be
lieve and hope that the decision
to do so now has some connection
with the previously announced
plan of the company to construct
a factory in Ketchikan.
The company has made known
that its plans to construct the fac
tory at Ketchikan have not been
abandoned, although the existing
condition of the salmon canning
industry necessitated a delay in
the program originally decided on.
The American Can company has
an author ized capitalization of
$110,000,000, according to the arti
cles of incorporation. Its principal
offices are in New York, although
it is a New Jersey corporation. The
papers show assets in excess of
$195,000,000, with unsecured liabil
ities of $22,000,000. With the papers,
a check for $1,205 will be sent to
the Territorial treasury to cover
the stipulated incorporation fees.
JKNNSEN OUURTZ MINE
OPERATE THIS SUMMER
Another quartz proposition on
which extensive work is planned
this summer is the Jannsen Quartz
Mine, says the Nome Nugget.
This mine was formerly known as
the Connolly-Jannsen mine on
Gold Bottom and is now owned
exclusively by Chas. F. Jannsen of
Nome.
He proposes to take a crew of
experienced hard rock miners and
commence active operations and
development early in the spring.
