SEATTLE, Jan. 14.—“The impres
sion prevails that the next big placer
stampede in Alaska will be to the
Kuskokwim .valley. A recent strike
was made on Quin Hagak creek,
where a miner took out .$800 in ten
days, says the Seattle Times. Twa
nativ ; assisted him. Good strikes
have o been made on Canyon, Hear,
and n :iz creeks in the same section,
about 80 miles up the river from
Bethel.
Duncan McMillan, who made the
statement sent to Bethel by the bu
reau of education to teach the na
tives, arrived in Seattle from his post
and left today for the east. Some
of his practical joker friends, hearing
of the recent order or recommendation
that it was advisable to get married
for the Alaska service, passed the
word quietly around that McMillan
was looking for a wife and he has had
a number of applications. These rang
ed from a widow who wanted a mort
gage lifted, to a young miss looking
for adventure.
“Ijt is against the policy of the trad
ing companies in the Kuskokwim val
ley,’’ continued McMillan, “to have
any news of strikes get to the out
side world. I know very little about
mining, but I believe that the country
some day will support a great popula
tion. The natives and Laplanders are
doing splendidly with their reindeer
herds.
“Besides indications of placer gold
there are other minerals. Duncan
McMillan has a cinnebar mine 125
miles up the river from Bethel. He
was offered $300,000, but is holding it
! for $500,000.”
