OLDTiME NEVADA
Ml TO NUKA OAT
Considerable significance is at
tached to the denarture tomor
row morning of G. Wilson Davis
for Nuka Bay.
In this resnect.
That Mr. Davis is one of the
best known of the real honest-to
God prospectors and miners in
Alaska: one whose activities have
» covered a wide field outside of
the Territory aswell as within.
The remarkably rich specimens
show him, also the jewelry rock,
is the magnet that has beckoned
him and it won’t have to be near
as rich ore as the rock shown him.
for him to decide to remain there,
he stated. “Overnight,” he said,
“if this kind of ore, running rp
as high as $400 and $500 a ton,
was reported in Nevada, there
would be 10.000 men in the field.”
And when Mr. Davis speaks of
Nevada he knows his subject
for he was in many stampedes in
that great mineral state having
prospected throughout the years
1906 to 1916. A few of the camps I
he haunted more than others !

Manhattan. Those names should
sound familiar to Casey McDan
nels, over in Anchorage, another
oldtimer from the hills of Nevada.

Miller and Bud -on Canyon Creek. \
He has the privilege of moving
into his choice of three or four
cabins, at the bay and, if she,

I looks good, he will send up for
more grub and stick it out for
|the remainder of the season. In
stead of purchasing a dory here
;he is going to take a chance and
buy one .at the bay.
Like all Nevadans, however,
he is going to keep one eye open
for a townsite. He leaves on Capt. j
Pete Sather's vessel, Rolfe.
INTERESTING ARTICLE
TELLS OF ALASKA HOPj
The Seattle Times recently car
ried #an interesting account of
Capt. Ross G. Hoyt’s round-trip !
flight from New York to Nome; j
the article was written by the
Army flier and was accompanied (
by an excellent profile map of:
the route.
In ending he said “Although 1
the flight ended in a crash, it!
nroved what was originally in- \
tended; the practicability of in-'
creasing the range of our present
rmrsuit aircraft. Also it proved
the feasibility of air routes be
tween the United States and Al
askafor military purposes.”
A. R. Eldridge fell into the
toils of the Game Commission
recently when he was arrested !
for having unprime land otter j
pelts in his possession. This set I
him back exactly $25 and costs.
