TRADERS LONELY LIFE.
Profitable Years Spent in Gloomy Alas.
kan Wilderness.

With Alaska furs valued at 5000
from Nulato, on the lower Yukon, Gar
rett Busch has arrived in Seattle after
eight years spent i'll traflicking with the
Indians in the wilderness which he was
the first white man to penetrate as n
trader. When Mr.. Busch reached Nj
lato. August l., 1891, with Il miner
outfit as his sole possession, he foresaw
in that gloomy solitude a trade in the
furs which protect animal life from Are
tic winters which would exceed in re-
turns the reasonable possibilities of min
ing ventures.
Mr.. Busch settled down at the place
where the little town of Nulato now
stands. He built Il one-story cabin with
lumber which he sawed from the native
timber and began to trade his miners
supplies to the natives for the furs which
they knew so well how to trap, but of
whose value they had no conception.
. Through the first winter he lived alone.
except when an occasional squad of In
dian trappers came by and stopped in
curiosity to learn what manner OF man
had settled in so lonely { spot To these
Indians he traded his humble supplies.
except the provisions which he actually
needed to sustain his own existence until
spring.
The visits of the Indians were few
and far between. The solitary trader
was often homeslck as he sat through
the almost perpetual darkness of the
Arctic winter. In the short hours Of
gllmmering daylight he gathered his lit
tie stores of hrewood, dragging them
through the snow. and then sat through
the long night counting off the days on
the calendar until spring. His nearest
white neighbors were at Anvik. 100
miles down the Yukon and at We1re
240 miles up the stream. lie never saw
a white face until nearly year after
his arrival at Nulato.
When spring broke upon the lonely
hermit life assumed a more cheerful as
pect. The fame of the new white trador
had spread far through the Indian settle
ments. and the natives began calling
regularly at the post with their stock Of
furS. They came from Koyokuk. from
lnnoko and from KuSkokwin. some Of
them travelling nearly 500 miles,
