MCKINLEY PARKLETS
A gum chewing stenographer almost
landed this camp in a stampede. While
writing up an assay report made by
the Farthest North, and looking out
of the window the period got in late,
and made the repo'rt read $112.50 in
gold and silver. Just as the boys had
their gold pans and picks in shape to
start, a correction came in reading
$11.50 per ton in gold and silver; the
stampede got milder, but a few claims
were staked.

A large mining outfit from the Out
side is coming in with men and horses
this summer to work on the iron de
posits on the Yanert. The ore ie
hematite, probably the most valuable
of iron ores. The price of such ore
i
Outside raised in three years from
$1.83 a ton to $3.39. While production
has been falling off more than seven
percent a year the iron ore deposits
throughout this region are almost un
limited.

As soon as the road, now building
into the Park, is completed as far as
Copper Mountain, work will be com
menced on a branch road running into
the Kantishna mining district. A
wonderful rich country, in lead, anti
mony, silver and gold, and very inac
cessible now.

The Governor’s office at Juneau,
has sent letters to the various camps
in the North, aking about the whys
and wherefores of the wolves and
coyotes, and do we know their given
names and history, and when he gets
all that information in hand, he is
going to bust ’em a couple, so he says.

Last summer some poetically in
clined tourist left the following poem
pinned to a tree along Savage river,
in the Park. It is probably the tour
ist witnessed Jim Gibson, a guide to
big game hunters, mowing a carload
of native hay for Lis horses at Lig
nite.. The names Maude Muller and
Judge is also poetic license for two
other tourists. The poet must have
hailed from Texas as there are no
snakes in Alaska.
Maude Muller on a summer day,
Raked the meadow sweet with hay.
The work was hard and so violent,
Overtaxed her strength and so quick
she went,
• All drenched with prespiration
; sweet,
Down to the river to cool her feet,
i And kneeling on her shelving
brink,
Bent over far so to get a drink.
The Judge was fishing on the bank,
And thought to play her a foolish
prank.
“Snakes, snakes,’’ he cried, “Look
out!” he roared,
Poor Maud shrieked loud then fell
overboard.
He fished Maud out looking very ill,
She went straight to camp and had
a chill.
A stitch in her side, then fever high,
high,
The Doctor said she sure might die.
Moral—“For of all fool tricks of
maid or men
This takes the cake! Not for me
again.”
Have you heard the new
“Okeh” records at Sylvia's?
They are wonderful.
