In 1857. with seven years successful
experience as an engineer, then 2S
years old, Enoch Bown was seized
with the desire to cross the Atlantic,
so he moved to Canada, Immediately
securing an appointment as engineer
on the old Great Western. He ran
between Niagara Falls, London and
Windsor. He also engineered on the
Buffalo a. Lake Huron These lines
have since been improved and ac-
quired by the Grand Trunk. His ia.
miliarity with the iron steeds which
had been his life's companions
brought about his appointment in 1872
as foreman of engines of the Grand
Trunk lines. He held this position
for a quarter of century and found
himself II years old and ready for re-
tirement.
He decided to work some more,
and was soon picked up to operate
the dummy car on the International
bridge. For eight years this fine
looking and gray-whiskered engineer
was daily seen at his post, but Jan.
l last he closed his labors, and now
lives a quiet life among his friends
and neighbOrs in the passive hamlet

passage to Boston and settled at Ips.
wich, Mass. This chair descended in
the family until 1t came to Mr.. Wa
ters, the present owner.
Once upon time there lived In Sa.
lem a merchant of great wealth and
renown, Mr.. Joshua Ward. Gen.
George Washington, during a visit to
Salem, spent night at the home Of
Mr.. Ward, and spent in the northeast
chamber Of the fine, brick house.
Among the furnishing of his room
were several beautiful Hepplewhite
chairs. One of these chairs-said to
be the chair in which Washington sat
to record his impressions of Salem in
his diary-is now treasured in one OF
the city's noted homes. It was while
on this visit that Washington wrote
of the women Of Salem: II have seen
at least 100 handsome and well-dress-
ed ladies, greater portion of them
having much blacker hair than Is seen
in the south"
In the home of Daniel Low, in Es-
sex street, the old cabinet house,
where Mrs. Joseph J. Chamberlain
made her home as Miss Endicott,

is more than ESQ years old, and has
descended from the first Low in Am
erica, who settled at Essex, Mass. and
among whose descendants is ex-May-
or Seth Low of New York, to the pres
ent owner.

(Sitka), and was only abandoned for
the purpose after they left the coun-
try.
It was while on one Of these trips
In 1882 that the Russians discovered
gold on the Anauk, and 1t is known
to-day as the Yellow River of the
Russians. 1t Is not known whether
they ever attempted mining on any
large scale or whether they found
gold in paying quantities, but 1t is
thought to be the first time on rec
ord OF gold being found in this coun-
try.
Lukeen was born of Russian and
Spanish-American creole parents in
the Ross colony in California. He
was well educated at the Sitka school
and proved to be an active, energetic
and intelligent officer. In 1863 Lu-
keen ascended the Yukon river from
st. Michael to Fort Gibbon, then a
Hudson's Bay company trading post,
which was built by McMurray, who
descended the Porcupine river in 1S47.
Lukeen was the first man who con-
nected the Pelly river of Campbell
and the sea. He returned to st.
Michael that fall. In 1866 the Rus.
sian garrison at Kalamakoff redoubt,
In charge Of Dementoff, was with
drawn, the United States having pur-
chased Alaska from the Russians.

ANCIENT CHAIRS IN SALEM

Not long ago enjoyed the privilege
Of admittance to some homes of Sa.
lem containing rare pieces of historic
furniture, each replete with history
dear to the heart of the lover of ira
dit!on, writes Grace B. Faxon in the
Pilgrim.
Perhaps the finest collection Of an
tiques In America Is gathered under
the roof-tree of Charles F. Waters,
who lives in Washington square. and
among them all stands forth chair,
which, because of real beauty com.
mands admiration. 1t is elaborately
and handsomely carved, and to It be-
longs, possibly, the oldest history OF
any piece of furniture in Salem. It
seems that one John Cogswell came
over here from the mother country i'm
1855, crossing the ocean in the good
snip Angel Gabriel, which was the
same craft that brought Sir Walter
Raleigh to Guiana, South America, in
1918, on his second and last voyage.
John Cogswell embarked with his
vile, eight children and household
goods-among the last this chair-for
settlement in this country. A fright
ful storm off the coast of Maine, where
by mistake they had drifted, caused
total wreck of the vessel. Mr.. Cogs-
well and family, and what furniture
there was preserved, were carried to
the shore at Pemquid, Me-, where the
family spread tent and remained un-
TIL the next week. They then took

FOVND GOLD IN ALASKA

Gold was first discovered in Alaska
on the Anauk river, tributary of the
Kuskowim river, which joins the lat
ter stream about twenty-five miles
below the trading post of Kalama-
konsky, says the Ketchikon Mining
Journal. The Anauk river was dis
covered by Ivan Simenson Lukeen in
1882, at which time he built fort,
called Lukeen's Fort, on the Kusko-
win river, twenty-five miles above
the mouth Of the Anauk. 1t was partly
destroyed by natives in 1S41, and, re-
built by Kalamakoff, Russian
trader, was afterward called Kalama-
koff redoubt.
In 1882 the headquarters of the
Russian-American Trading company
were at Sitka and supplies were trans
ported thence to Lukeen's Fort by
way of Nushagak river, Tic-chic riv-
er and lake and down the Anauk riv-
er to the Kuskowim river and thence
up stream twenty-five miles to the
fort. In 1887 the yearly supplies
were sent by way of the mouth of the
kuskowim river and the old way aban-
doned as summer route and used
only for the purpose of sending out
the mails during the winter by dog
teams. 1t was the only winter route
the Russians ever used from any
point on the Yukon to the outside
