PR0SPECTORS ON A
LITTLE-KNOWN RIVER

T. A. Barton, who has been in Tanana
for the past ten days, spent few weeks
during the summer on a little-known
river that is tributary to the Yukon on
the left limit opposite Melozikaket. The
river is called Unakaket and empties
into Sixteen-mile slough, thus being
what is known as "blind' stream.
Unless person were aware of it's exist
ence and on the outlook for it the Una
kaket would be passed up and it's en-
trance into the slough unsupported.
F. r. Bronson, connected with the
government service in the Philippines,
but now on leave, was with Mr.. Barton
on the Unakaket. They assembled the
river about hundred miles. 1t cuts a
schist formation and looks favorable for
gold bearing stream, but they got no
colors in the surface panning they did.
Rubies, garnets and black sand were
found.
One old Indian camp was the only in
dication seen of the river having been
explored. Evidence of game was plen-
tiful, especially bear, beaver and water
fowl. Trout were numerous, but they
were the only fish. 1t is believed the
head of the creek wrs long way off,
but the water was too low and the river
bed too shoaly to permit of further
ascent.
Mr.. Barton was court bailiff at Fair
banks in the summer of 1909. He will
soon 20 out with construction gang on
the telegraph line between Tanana and
