BIG PLACER STRIKE IN INTERIOR

BLACKBURN, July News of the placer strike on the Sushanna River. where two men recently took out $500 in dust in one day, is a9ousing the residents here to the fact that this is the most feasible and short route by which to reach the scene of the new stampede.
 So far no definite news has been received here of the extent of the strike, yet several people are non outftting to go there, and other out fits lave left lately.
 Westburg and Wany came here from Fairbanks the other day and bought a complete outfit and left for the new diggings. James Morri- son and Axel Walstrom are now out fitting. Dan Stacy is being out fitted by Freedman & Church and will return as soon as he can look over the ground and report on the conditions. Some of the men on the creeks are quitting, and others at the mine, to try their luck.
 For several reasons old timers are ready to believe in the strike. It has been long predicted that some time there would be stampede on the upper reaches of tie Tanana river. Every year a few prospectors have been taking out guhstakes, by sniping along the >Srim rock. The great expense of getting outfits into the country made extensive prospect ing or the sinking of holes to bed

rocK any distance prohibitiye. 1t is always cGsy to start a stampede in the spring time down stream, where the liver current will propal boats. but to pole up such a swift river as the Panama from Fairbanks has been a task too difficult and expensive to attract many prospectors,. Years ago, before Fairbanks was thought of, so report goes, a man died in Chicago who dew map of the place where he and partner had taken out large sum of placer gold. The partner had been killed by the Indians The map located the stream on what was afterwards thought to be the Goodpasture, a branch of the upper Panama, but subsequent gold seekers failed to reach their expectations.
 It must be remembered that he geological reports are also favorable to the finding of placer gold in parts of the basin of the upper Tanana Indeed, there is every ap- pearance that the long-expected stampede is about to be realized. It seems certain that though the pres ent strike may not prove all that is rumored of it, the presence of people and outfits in the country will cause it to be prospected more thoroughly and something worth while may be uncovered. This has been the his tory of all placer camps in the North.

Copper River x Northwestern Rail- way makes it now possible for pros peetos to get into the country. This is the logical route from every part of the Panama and Yukon below Fairbanks, and for people coming from the coast towns, and from Seattle and the outside. They can travel light from Fairbanks over the government trail to Chitina, and take the train to Mccarthy, outfit here, and then travel by packhorse along a we'll defined trail through Skolia Pass to White river. From there the crossing of a small divide, Ia little over 20 miles, places outfits on the Sushanna river.
 On the Canadian side the best trail from White river is to Dawson, a distance of $50 miles, while it is but 50 miles from this end of the Copper River 6 Northwestern Rail- way to White river. The railroad, furthermore, has had survey made from here to the White river, and it is a route that is we'll travelled The distance between here and White River has been covered,sev- eral times in two days.
 The merchants of Mccarthy are heavily stocked in everything need ed, and those who come light and outfit here will save a great deal of time. There is plenty of game in the country and when this fact is gen. erally known it will save those buy ing outfits a good many dollars.

The jar was hardly perceptibile, but she seemed to climb to the top of the rocks after which she settled down, tearing a large hole in her bow. She struck at hign tide and as there was a heavy ground swell running, she soon began to pound on the reef.
 Shortly after she struck Capt. Archie Mckay ordered all hands into the small boats. Although four of the crew were left with the wrecked vessel, no hope of saving the steamer is entertained by the officers.
