THE UNKNOWN COUNTRY.
That there is a vast and interesting
field for the prospector at the very doors
of Tanana, about which there is but lit
tle known, is again forcibly illustrated
in the present stampede to the Red
Mountain country.
The creek On which the strike is said
to have been made, is only about 80
miles north of Tanana; yet Jack Felix
did not know how long the creek was,
nor whether it emptied into the Koyu
kuk or Melozi rivers.
There has been prospecting in this vi
cinity for perhaps 20 years. The croak
ers declare nothing worth while has ever
been discovered in that time, and that
Tanana will therefore never become a
mining center.
That so little is known of the topog
raphy of the country contiguous to Tan
ana clearly shows that this district has
not even been explored, let alone pros
pected. The difficulty of access to the
country north of town is, in a measure,
accountable for this. But with the very
encouraging leports brought in of late,
it will not be long before the people will
know more of this section of the ter
ritory and whether their hopes of the
future growth of the city are destined to
be fulfilled or not.
MANLEY’S LICENSE.
George HINTON Henry, editor of the
Hot Springs Echo-less, is once more in
his whispering gallery, shouting out
“pied” sentences purporting to be an
attack on Manley’s hotel.
George is never happier than when he
can direct the venom of his “fiery” edi
torials on someone he thinks is his
enemy.
Last winter he kept monotonously
pounding away, week after week, on
Judge Bevington, roasting him for this
and for that in true Hintonian style.
Frank Manley finally remonstrated, so
Hinton forthwith marked Frank for
slaughter. The opportunity came when
the question of renewing the liquor li
cense for Manley’s hotel arose.
Pure in mind and clean in body and
print, George discovered that Manley’s
hotel is a very bad place. On4 would
think—to read the eclioless—that de
bauchery runs rampant at the hotel and
the nights are made hideous by the
shouts of the revelers.
Henry suspended publication and with
several others went to Fairbanks to pro
test against the renewal of the license.
Alas! Judge Overfield found that the
1 Manley hotel was just an ordinary quiet
| village hotel—large and imposing, but
| quiet nevertheless.
Henery returned to Hot Springs a sad
j der but unsatisfied man. He blotched
l out a long editorial, which deciphered
says “what is, is—no matter what the
! courts may think.”
George Hinton finds solace in patting
■ the district attorney on the cheek, saying
j that he deserves great praise for taking
up the “unpopular case.”
] In the meantime the disgruntled edi
| tor is looking around for someone else
: to attack, and everyone at the Springs
is shaking in his boots.
