(Douglas Island News.)
Captain H. S. Back, of Carmacks,
on the Yukon river, half way between
Whitehorse and Dawson, was in
Douglas a few days ago when he
called on the editor of the News and
laid before him a plan conceived by
himself for the amelioration of ex
isting conditions in that great inland
country.
Captain Back, veteran of the Civil
war and for many years in the employ
of the federal government as guide,
Indian fighter and freighter in the
early days of the Northwest, celebrat
ed his 79th birthday several months
ago but is yet as active as many men
only half his age. He is now on his
way to the outside and he intends,
while away, to endeavor to persuade
the powers that transportation of all
the women who will enlist to come, up
to ten thousand, to Yukon and lower
Alaska, where they will be welcomed
by several thousand men who, accord
ing to the aged philosopher, are un
able to take care of themselves.
In case only a few hundred women
can be persuaded to make the trip into
the interior, Captain Back will advo
cate the passage of a law permitting
plural husbands—from two to five—
as he says it would require several of
them, such as they are, to support an
up-to-date woman in’ any kind of
style.
The captain’s real mission to the
outside, however, is to interest capital
in a creek about fifteen miles back
from Selkirk on which be has discov
ered gold to such an extent that a
man can rock out one ounce per day
by the most primitive methods—-the
old hand rocker. Ke first discoverer’
the creek seventeen years ago but not
until the past summer did he piospect
it to any extent. Then he spent prac
tically all of the summer on it and
what he demonstrated fuflly convinc
ed him that he has one of the best
dredge propositions ever discovered in
the north.
Captain Back says there is a large
area of unprospected ground .in the
vicinity of his discovery but that the
fireside miners of that country are not
sufficiently enterprising to get out
and prospect. That is one reason why
lie advocates filling the country
with women as he believes they would
stimulate the men to action. The old
captain promised to pay another visit '
to Douglas on his way back in the
spring.

MINERAL resources or
RUBY-KUSKOKWIM REGION
Ruring the Rummer cf 1016 the strip
of country extending from Kuby on
the Yukon, to Iditarod, Ahu.ca, by
way of McGrath on the Kuskokwim,
was surveyed topographically and
geographically. A report describing
the progress of mining ni that area
and presenting a brief discussion of
the mineral resource by J. B. Mertie,
Jr., and G. L. Harrington has recently
been issued by the United States Geo
logical survey, department of the in
terior, as part of Bulletin 642.
Placer gold is the oniv mineral de
posit that has yet been exploited on a
commercial scale, but gold lodes have
been reporter! and deposits of other
minerals that are important elsewhere
occur in this region. The main gold
placer areas are in the Ruby, Innoko,
and Iditarod districts, each including
many scattered camps. Cinnabar, the
sulphide of mercury, and cassiteiite,
the oxide of tin, are found in the con
centrates in a number of creeks m the
region. Stibnite, the sulphide of an
timony, has been discovered at a num
ber of places in the Iditarod and in
noko districts. Sheelltj, the tungstate
of calcium, has been found in the con
centrate from Otter creek, in the Idit
arod district. Coal occurs in the Ruby,
Innoko and Iditarod districts.
DIDN’T KNOW SIWASHES.
(Iditarod Pioneer.)
Sid Schloeman tells this one on a
friend of his who goes by the high
bounding title of “The Count.” The
count, of foreign birth and distingush
ed appearance, happened with Sid to
be in a down-river camp in which lived
a squawman and his family. Among
the latter was an exceptionally bright
boy, and the count asked the squaw
man why he did not send him to
school. He talked on the benefits of
education for the youngster to such
an extent that the squawman became
peeved, and after he was out of ear
shot he asked Sid who he was. “Oh,
he’s a foreign nobleman, just travel
ing around for his health,”,said Sid.
“Uh! I thought so,” rejoined the
squawman, with a shrug of disgust.
“What the h— does he know about
si washes?” v
