INTERESTING TRIP
TO THE INTERIOR
of the be*
Leonard Seppala,
I known Alaska dog men in the ter~i
tory returned last Saturday from a
: eighty day trip ‘o Nenana, Fairbanks
Ruby and other potions of Interior
Alaska. Seppala left Nome on Jan
nary 1st, with H. R. Edwards. Su
perintendent of the Hamhton Con
solidated Gold Fields as a passenger
for Nenana where the latter took
the train for the outside.
Seppala made the trip with 17
dogs and states that on the trip up
experienced severe weather in the
form of storms and cold. The trip
up took 21 days, and Seppala state*
that he practically broke trail for
the team driven by James Keenan of
Nome who was following from Kal
tag to Nenana.
After arriving at Nenana. Seppala
made two trips to Fairbanks and ore
trip to Ruby and took as a passenger
Boris Magids, of Candle.
While in Nenana. Seppala was en
gaged by the government to make
arrangements for dog teams for th»*
incoming advance party of the polar
expedition, after purchasing about
fifty dogs he was informed that the
dogs would not be needed as the
party had been halted in Seattle and
would not proceed t'ntil further or
ders, Seppala ;hon had to dispose of
most of the dogs h« had purchased,
this he did with the exception of one
ot two which he brought back to
Seppala states that Ben Dejrick.
who is well known *o old time Nome
jites, is located at Whiskey Creek,
ar.d has the mail contract at that
place. Seppala tells a very funnj
I incident which happened to him and
| bis passenger. H. R. Edwards on the
trip up. It seems that when arriv
ing at the last stop this side of
Whiskey Creek, the trail became so
hoavv that the mushers deemed it
!wise to pet ono of the local dog men
who understood tin? country to break
trail, this they did and a native
boy was hired and the start made,
the agreement between the nati-e
and Sep pain and Edwards was that
if the native made the trip into
Whiskey Creek l>y a certain time he
would be paid a. certain amount and
if he was an hour longer than
that time be would lose one dollar
and for every hour over that time
he was to lose one dollar. The time
was 11 o'clock when the native was
supposed to arrive at Whiskey

On a voyag to Alaska;
Over Bering’s savage tide.
I ventured for a fortunp;
To the frozen Arctic side.
But I found an empty pocket,
dnA a rumor for a guide.
And 1 found some happy natives,
And the Squaw-man in his pride.
When I started on tola voyage.
To this land of Northern light,

For a fortune lay in sight.
But I found an empty pocket,
And empty remote, day and night (
And 1 found aome Gospel grinders.
That wjtuld steal the Widow’s mite.
There a?e fortunes laying hid ilea.
In the frozen aftd'clay,
T don’t ‘'hanker” to find them.

I'errick if he had seen a native who
was supposed to h* breaking »riiil
f'-r any one and Derrick replied:
"Native? He’s asleep,- he’s been
here since eleven o’clock."
Seppala met many old timers who
were at one time in Nome, while in
Fairbanks. among them were: Paul
I)enhart, who is engaged in mining
at Fairbanks. J. M. Davidson, who
was the founder of hydraulic mining
in Nome, and who organized the
Miocene Ditch Company in Nome in
the early days. Another old timer
encountered was Norman Stines who
was at one time the Engineer of the
A'aska Mines of Nome. Jim Murray
another well known former Nome
man and R. D. Sommers, Superinten

by Seppula while in the latter place:
Miss Grace Grantham, who was for

Shel Wettaeh. a former well known

For I found an empty pocket.
And an empty rumor by the way.
And I found some good old-timers.
All good fellows, gone astray.
So I wandered in the summer.
To som-e other grazing ground.
For I like the dark-eyed beauties.
On th*- shores of Puget Sound
For I found an empty pocket.
And empty rumors all around.
And I found some stinking seal o!!.
That they say is good and sound.
So good-bye all you sour doughs.
You are welcome to all you And.
You can keep your dusky maidens.
! For to me they are not the kind.
| For I found an empty pocket.
And empty rumors all refined.
And I found another prospect.
In the Valley I left behind.
