ARCONAUTS OF %.
Troubles of Early Arrivals in this Section. Wanted to Hang
 the Promoter.

One of the first expeditions to reach Valdez bay came from San Francisco, and was styled tn, Alaska Mining and Development, Co, or was better known as the LaNinfa O., so-called on account of the vessel of that name on which they came here. The party con- sisted of forty-two people, and of that number only one remains, Mir. Adam Swan, the well-known resi- dent of this place. The party ar rived at Swanport and later came to this side of the bay. Like most of the pioneers to this part of Alaska, none of the company knew any thing of the country, and very few of them were fitted for the life of a prospector in q new, unexplored country such as this was at that time.
 The company was organized in San Francisco by one H. T. Benton, who was formerly q secondhand dealer along the water front of that city. When the gold excitement broke out he saw an opportunity for making good thing by getting up an expedition to Alaska. He advertised in the San Francisco papers that he had ':.dead sure'' thing and would take a few people with him. He induced forty-two persons to put up $2OO apiece for passage money. besides other as- 'sessments for supplies. He claimed 'to have thorough knowledge of of the country and especially 'the Copper river district. He would take his schooner up Copper river thirty miles and there estab- fish a winter camp. In the spring the party were to go 100 miles fur ,ther up the river in a steam launch that they would take with them and prospect the river for that dis itance. He gave his company a pipe dream about having gone ashore from revenue cutter after fresh water and picking up beauti- ful gold nuggets from the stream. .Renton was a smooth article and tiled his eager listeners full of such stories, and they, anxious to : hear and believe them, were eager to get away to the new Eldorado. There was only one drawback to
The Alaska prospector., 1903-02-12

the whole affair, and that was what to do with the blood-thirsty indians along the Copper river. But they were advised to take plenty of rifles and ammunition and if neces- sary. gatling gun. With these implements Q; warfare they could scare off all the natives on the river, as they had never seen many guns. using mostly bows, arrows and spears in their warfare.
 The manager of the expedition had claimed that eighty persons were booked for the trip, but after waiting for several weeks, he was compelled to start with the forty two, the remainder failing to ma terialize. It was then Sept. p. 1897, and anyone familiar with this country at all would have known that that was the wrong season in which to start on a trip to the north pole.
 The La Ninfa was thirty days reaching Nuchek, and with storms, rough weather, poor food and sea sickness the company did not feel the best when they dropped anchor at that little native village. There was already several inches of snow. the weather was windy and cold, and the surprise of the party.can be imagined when they ascertained that they could not get within twenty miles of the mouth of the river. and that it was difficult to get up that stream in a small dory, let alone in a large schooner, and that launch could not get up the river at all. What were they to do? They could not winter at Nuchek as there was no harbor for their boat. They also ascertained that the natives were more peaceable than themselves and this was great disappointment to them. What would they do with their ammunition? They had planned on fighting the painted savages and had pictured with pleasure how they would fight and die for their country and open up to posterity a great and rich dis trict. In their dreams they had seen themselves in battle array. cutting down their bloOd-thirsty foes from block houses or hastily built breast works. Many of them had wondered how his scalp would look dangling from the belt of a Copper river Indian; and now this pleasure was to be denied them.
 The company then decided to go
The Alaska prospector., 1903-02-12

A committee went aboard the schooner and told Benton he was wanted ashore. He begged of the men who accompanied him to tell him if violence was intended, and was told he would not be harmed. When he stepped ashore, however, he was met by an angry mob, who denounced him as swindler, thief. traitor, and heaped upon him every vile epithet that they could think of. They demanded that he repay them for everything that he had sold them that was not as repre- sented. He acknowledged to hay ing $15O aboard the vessel. Part of the crowd accompanied him to the ship to get the money, but when he arrived there he was in such a fright that he had to be carried aboard. The men dragged him to the galley and there his nerve gave out completely. They chafed his legs and arms to start up circula- lation, but he lost entire control of himself and lay on the deck a fear crazed wreck.
 A doctor who accompanied the party was sent for and gave the man an injection and was endeav- bring to make him bit comfortable when the angry crowd came again and were ready to wreak vengeance on him, but the doctor prevented it and put the man to bed. A committee searched the ship but found no money, and gave Benton the privilege of handing over $50 or being hung and he gave up that sum. Had it not been that the man was taken so suddenly sick and there were a few cool heads in the crowd, he world certainly have

to Orca and establish winter quar- ters. They would not give up and would start out few small boats for the Copper river. This they did and in a few weeks the natives brought back the party, half frozen and nearly dead from cold, hunger and exposure.
 There had been some mutterings against Renton, but now they com menced in earnest. It was a cer- tainty that he had never been in the country before and knew noth- ing about it. However he still claimed that he had, but that the country was greatly changed.
 Nearly every member of the party now had a different idea of what they ought to do. Some wanted to winter at Orca. Others wanted to try the Copper river again. Others wanted to go to Valdez bay and go over the glacier, and some were for going home, while several didn't want to do anything.
 Split by dissensions, the party at last agreed to divide their outfit. The supplies were taken ashore and each received his allotment; but in the outfit there was not an extra sack-suaar was in barrels, meat in boxes. beans and rice in hundred pound sacks, and canned goods in cases. How they ever expected to carry this stuff while prospecting in the interior, no one knew: It was at last decided to take. sails and make sacks. This work took some time.
 After everything but the bacon was divided, the storm came and Renton nearly lost his life. About 1000 pounds of the bacon was in fairly good shape, but the balance, 100 pounds, was decidedly bad. Over 100 pounds was found to be made from sucking and unborn pigs, weighing from six to ten pounds each. Each man took his share and then started for Benton with d rope. It had dawned upon them that the entire expedition was a put-up job; that Benton had never been in Alaska that he had overcharged them for everything :; that he had stood in with the mer- chants in San Francisco and had charged them with first-class out fit and had bought the poorest stuff he could find and that he was scOundrel and should be hung as a warning to schemers who get up expeditions"

Crushed With Defeat. the Washington
Baby Says he Won't Play Amy More.

And now comes the announcement
that w. & j. has severed all athletic
relations with West Virginia for foul
years. No word to that effect has
been received here, but the w. & j.
organ, the Pittsburg Dispatch, says
so, and it probably knows.
When asked about the matter to-
day, Prof Hodges said; 81 have
heard nothing Of it, but am very well
satisfied if it is true. We can get
along very well without w. e j. Still,
do not see how w. x j. can make
amends for her conduct by severine
athletic relations. We have reason:
for seyering these relations, but W.
& j. has none.
OF course the Washington people
harp on the playing OF Teas and give
that as their reason. 1t is difficult
for Morgantown people to understand
the logic or morals OF the w. & j,
faculty which allows professional
like Hayes to captain their eleven on

hired player by an opposing team.

A MARION COUNTY FIRE BUG
Destroys Some Valuable Property for
0pie Vincent.

FAIRNoNT, w. VA, November ii. -
If you buy the Widow Nuzum's
farm, all the buildings on it Will be
burned to the ground / have moth
ing against you personally, but | Will
burn the buildings
This was letter received last week
by Opie Vincent, farmer living in
Union district on the day he decided
to buy farm from Mrs. Nuzum which
lies adjoining his property. Vincent
paid little attention to the warning
and within two days had the property
transferred to his name Tuesday
night as he was retiring, Mr.. Vincent
glanced from his window and was
amazed TO see bright light in the
direction of his newly acquired
property. Calling his sons he rushed
to the scene to find that new barn,
full of grain and machinery and
worth about 81 200, was all ablaze A
bucket brigade was Immediately
formed, but the fire had gained such
Roadway that it was impossible to
save either the building or its con-
tents neither of which WAS insured.
Mr. Vincent today brought his warn
ing letter to town and laid his case
before the town officers of the law.
The writing is said to be vastly like
that of certain young man who has
been guilty Of other fire acts and he
may be arrested in the near future.

,INDIoATIoN FOR GOODWIN.
Telegram Thinks. Withdrawal of Suits
Suits Facts Justified His Course.

Referring to the settlement of the
damage suits against Professor K.
+. Goodwin and others, which grew
out of the Shepherdstown scandal,
the Clarksburg Telegram says:
"The suits were all to have been
called in the circuit court now In
session at Charles Town, and the de-
PENDANTS went prepared to defend
themselves. They had all the evil
dence necessary, there being 25 wit
nessess or more. But the suits we're
not called. To the contrary, they
were all withdrawn. First the plain
tiffs wanted to compromise them, but
the defendants declined ito do that
Then DR.. and Mrs. Reynolds with
drew them.
DIR. and Mrs. Reynolds went even
| farther than that They made a
written apology to Professor Good
win and had 1t made a matter OF
court record.
This is a complete vindication oi
Prot Goodwin, and, of course, graft
| fying to his friends, as well as the
state school authorities, who endors-
ed all he did in the matter.
The ending of these suits in this
way is an abandonment of the de
tense of Miss Wingate, and is al
admission on the part of her side in
the controversy that Prot. Goodwin
course was right and that he actec
only as the facts justified.
