KAMI'AKT. ALASKA, SitI'TIvMIJliR >3. 1905
T
New Attraction 150 Miles lip a
River Emptying 85 Miles
Below Tanana.
For four or five days considerable
interest has been manifested in a
stampede now in progress up the
Novakakit river. John Minook
brought word of the stampede last
Saturday and further particulars
Monday night.
The Novakakit heads up toward
the Kuskokwira and flows into the
Yukon eightyfive miles below Tan
ana. The best prospects reported
were found on a tributary coming
in on the right limit about 150
miles from the mouth. Novakakit
is navigable for small steamers for
about 100 miles in flush water, but |
it is not likely any will attempt lo
^ up this fall. The Sarah landed
150 tons at the mouth for lower
river people, and as much more will
be landed before the freezeup. Sev
enty-Give people have already gone
up the river and more are outfitting
at Tanana and starting daily. Many j
are also being attracted from the ]
lower river.
Most of these particulars are
learned from Jack Nelson, who]
came from Tanana on the Sarah. ]
He is very conservative in stating
the character of prospects that j
started the stampede; but from
could learn he sized them up as
favorable but not rich. Gold has
been found in that country before.
Hans Madison and Clint Dumire
have lately come from St. Michael
and gone up the Novakakit. Billy
Porter, Harry Wiude, and Mike
Laboski are others well known in
Rampart who are iu the puib.

JAM. AGAIN BROKEN
Murderer Recaptured, but
Horse Thief Hone.
Fairbanks, Sept, y Fiora the
News.—Yuko Perovich, the con
vieted, murderer, escaped from the
federal jail last evening when the
shifts were being changed, and was
captured this morning at 4 o’clock
by Deputy Marshal Joe Dillow and
Charley Webb, the night guard,
below the slaughter house, down
the river. The man had not gone
far when his escape was discovered
ar.d the pursuit began.
They followed Perovich’s trail for
some time by tracks in the sand,
and finally got close enough to hear
the snapping of tw igs in the brush.
Then all was silent. The muiderer
had hid in a clump of brush. One
of the pursuers circled about the
place and then they ordered him to
come out.
A moment after a dark form was
seen in the semi-gloom of the early
morning pointing in the direction
ol one of the man hunters a stick
which he intended should be taken
for a gun. But the bluff did not
work and they closed in on him
with drawn revolvers. Ae asked
then not to shoot and he w-ould re
turn with them. He was placed in
his cell shortly after 6 o’clock this
morning.
J. F. Emmett, serving a fifteen
months' sentence for petit larceny,
and Tom Thornton, charged with
horse stealing, escaped an hour be
fore Perovich, and have not been
located.

CHEALAjMDER HERE
In the Interest of the Seattle
Fair of I«07.
Godfrey Chealander was a pas
senger on the Cudahy last Saturday
bound for Fairbanks. He is on a
pulse-feeling tour of Alaska with
relation to the proposed fair in Se
attle in 1907. A certain amount of
opposition is apparently about to
be manifested in some quarters on
account of prejudice—first against
the Canadian territory the rush to
which the fair is to commemorate,
aud second, against Seattle itself.
For our own part we wish Mr.
Chealander and his undertaking all
kinds of success; because we be
lieve in advertising and do not be
lieve in letting petty jealousies
override good feeling and good
sense.

PIONEER MINING CASE
Suit Filed in the District Court
by Diver and Lane Against
Richard Hudson.
Fairbanks, Sept. 9.—From the
News.—O. A. Diver and A. H.
i Lane have filed suit with the clerk
| of the federal court against Richard
1 Hudson for the possession of a
mining claim on Pioneer creek,
adjoining the claim of H. F Tbumm
in Rampart district.
The complaint alleges that T. L.
Henry located the claim January,
i 1905, for the defendants by mark
J ing the boundaries. Mrs. Mamie
j Beattie had located it in 1902 and
l in 1903 hired Diver and G. W.
Williams to sink a shaft for her,
which they did and di.-ccvered gold.
The complaiut alleges that she neg
i lected to do the assessment work
j for 1904, and that Henry relocated
; it in January, 1905, and that May,
j 1905, he sold his interest to Diver,
and thereafter Diver sold an inter
: est to the other defendant. Last
jjuly Hudson appeared upon the
| scene and began siuking a shaft,
' and they ask that he be restrained
I and that they be given possession
| of the mine and $1,000. It seems
; the plaintiffs are holding the claim
by virtue of the discovery made in
, the shaft sunk for*Mrs. Beattie. It
wiil involve some new points of
law not touched upon before.
Wesley Young has written Ram
part parues that he expects to be
here about Sept. 20 with a stock of
goods.
