FIRST KLoNDYkE NUGGET.
Claimed by Maine Man, Who Found IT, Tn
1870 Near Fort Reliance

David r. Bracket, formerly of Lewis
ton, Me-, who has been for some years in
Alaska, and who has been visiting at his
old home, claims to be the first white
man who ever found gold in the Klondyke
regions. Mr.. Bracket says: ~ went to
Alaska in 1877, and was there till last
year, when, with others, / came home to
see civilization. When I came away !,
Sylvester was up on the Frazer river buy
ing furs. He has an Indian wife and sew
eral bright, keen-looking half-breed
daughters, whom he has educated himself
and who are credit to Alaska and to
America as WELL I settled down at Sitka
to work in saw-mill when [ first went
to Alaska, and afterward carried supplies
for the miners, carried the mail from the
camps up in the country to the towns
along the shore, and then mined a little
myself. did little prospecting on my
own account up there, and I know where
of l speak when l say that Alaska will
yet prove to be the richest part of our
uncle's domain.
Zone day in the summer of 1879 was
travelling down the Yukon valley from
Forty Mile, when l came to place where
landslide had torn off the edge of a
mountain gap. There, lying across the
track at my feet, was the great skeleton
of mastodon. / examined it carefully,
and found that when the animal was
alive it must have been several times
larger than the biggest elephant ever
ivory have been discovered in the Yukon
valley. I'LL am mot mistaken, mining
this precious material will some day take
place in Alaska. 1t was on one of these
strips of mine in 1879 that l crossed the
great back bone of the Alaskan mountain
and went over on the British territory. I
went down through what the world we'll
knows as the Circle City, Fort Cudahy,
the Klondyke, to the site Of Forts.Reliance
l camped for twenty-four hours on the
lodges above what I know well was
Bonanza creek. Two of my Indians came
in with furs at ten at night, and I traded
for them.
"Then, as it was still light, I walked
down to the end of the creek, and there
picked up nugget which had gold in it,
looked around for more, but not find
ing any,sI put the stone in my pouch
and didn't think much more of il. At
Sitka showed it to an old miner, who
offered me $75 for it, / took him quick,
but wouldn't tell where I found it. Fl
went up the Yukon in 1881 and tried to
locate my creek again, but failed Clar-
ence Berry of Fresno, Cal, went up the
river in 1880, and I suppose located near
Klondyke and Bonanza creek. He and
Frank Phiscator of Michigan were among
the discoveries, but have always claimed
that picked up the first nugget on
Bonanza creek. From my observations
up there am convinced that the noun
tains on the American side of the line are
49, r<,-1I Ill 4l.,4 L 4
and tributaries of the Yukon river are
full of gold. They are the real parent of
the American gold streak that SINNERS
down through California. I am going
back to Alaska, and expect to join party
from New York the first of September"

The Kennebeo Steamboat company
now has in its service three of the fastest
and best equipped steamers running out
of Boston into Maine waters. This line
affords connection from Boston directly
with Boothbay Harbor and the many de.
lightful resorts in that vicinity. The
steamer Lincoln, launched at Bath this
last spring, is now running from Boston
directly to Boothbay and Wiscassett.
The sail up the Kennebec affords a view
of the finest scenery in Maine and trim
on this line of steamers gives an oppor-
tunity Of seeing the hundreds of big ice
houses which line the river banks. The
service from Boston to the Kennebec is
q daily one and the steamers Sagadahoc
and Kennebec leave Lincoln wharf, Bos-
ton, alternately every night in the week
for all points along Names noblest and
most beautiful river.
