FROM THE GOLD FIELDS.
DR.. II. T.. Franklin Returns After an
EVentful Trip.

Dr. r. f. Franklin. for years we'll
known Dracticing physician, returned TO
the city yesterday after long and event
full tour through a large part of Alaska
DR.. Franklin loft here for the gold fields
of Alaska last spring with ~ friend OF
his. Mr.. George n. Griffin. OF Baltimore
At Seattle several others Joined them.
His purpose was 10 explore certain parts
OF the country where IL was expected that
gold would be found. and 20 try his for
tune in that PARKWAY bleak region.
Or. Franklin did not go into the klon-
dixie. but remained upon the American
side. a schooner was chartered 20 take
the party of fifteen nOrthward. They
went through the Behring Sea, and con-
tinued on up the Nontak river. Eight
OF the party worked their way about
three hundred miles. which required
twenty-seyen days. This party was the
first of white men who ever forced their
way up that rapid river. The boat had
10 be dragged with a rope part of the
way The same distance was covered in
twenty-four hours on the return trip. At
Cape Blossom the boat struck. and
Where was no way out OF the trouble
but 20 wade two miles OF the twelve,
which was the distance from shore.
On August 18th the party decided TO
explore the auckland river having been
told there was gold on that stream. Far
uD the river they met another party
of prOspectors. Dr. Franklin and his
party followed the river TO its head, and
then continued the trip on foot. Dis
couraged and tired, they started back on
August oath. After severe storm. in
which the party and schooner were SUBJ
iected to great danger. they reached
Port Clarence. They had trouble. by
reason Of the inaccuracy OF the govern
ment maps. but finally they got TO Colo
vim Bay. whore they heard glowing stories
OF gold. After much difficulty they got
IN and found gold there which paid
from TO 10 cents a pan. Eight men
took up two districts. IL is thought that
some Of the material IN the districts
formed by the party will net $3.50
pan. When assayed In San Francisco It
produced 1879 per cent. gold and 2 per
cent. silver.
When the party left Golovin Bay Sep
TENDER 22d the weather was getting cold,
aad the water was full of ice. Coming
to st. Michaers on the schooner, Or.
Franklin and Mr.. Griffin started for
Seattle. leaving the others of the party
N look ont for the claims established.
From some OF these claims DR.. Franklin
got $500 or 500 worth OF dust in eight
days.
Or. Franklin brought back with him
many interesting souvenirs
