The Chitina leader. [volume] (Chitina, Alaska) 1910-1928, 1914-02-06

Two letters were received from
the Shushanna on the last mail in
which reference is made to a re-
ported strike on the Canadian side
of the line, on the white river water
shed, which was causing a mild
stampede to the new diggings.
Lars Lokke and John Salater,
who went to the Shushanna last fall,
have written Mark Thompson an in
teresting letter of conditions in the
camp. They states that no new
strikes are being made largely for
the reason that nearly all the prom
Using ground is tied up by nom
residents and that the miners have
been putting in their time trying to
find ground for themselves. The
men have a good outfit at the dig
gings and are anxious to secure a
lay on ground owned by Thompson
on Gold Hill.
Lokke and Salater say they have
been unsuccessful in getting
ground of their own and have de-
cided to take lay if one can be
secured and would prefer to begin
working on Thompson's Gold Hill
claims. He has written them offer
ing good terms to get some of the
ground under development. The
miners have faith in the camp and
believe that when claim owners
begin working in earnest that pay
will be found on number of creeks.

The new placer camp on the
lower Yukon river, near Andreafsky,
is reported to be developing in a
promising manner, according to lat
est information from Nome. Charles
Dugan, a well known miner of
Nome, but now operating near Mar
shall City, the headquarters of the
new camp, says he took three pans
from discovery dump and got II
cents. In working discovery all the
owners have to do is to rig up
sluice boxes and shovel in from the
grass roots. UP to the time the
letter was written nobody had
reached bedrock on account of water
but expected to get down as soon
as the weather was cold.
Dugan began sinking on Disap-
pointment creek and struck coarse
gold as soon as he reached gravel
but was drowned out before reach
ing bedrock. There are about $50
men in the camp, nearly all Of
whom are from Nome and other
coast points.

Considerable excitement was Gre
ated in Atlin recently by display
of gold dust taken from the claim
of Herman Miller, Tom White,
Erick Martin and Nathan Murphy
on O'Donnell river and which had
been placed on exhibition in the
front window of the local jewelry
store there by Herman Miller, one
of the partners who had bought it in.
The gold was recovered by rock
ing and panning the gravel taken
from the end of a $50 foot tunnel
which had been driven by them back
into the hill from the bank of the
stream. 1t is very coarse, with not
few good sized nuggets, and has
been greatly admired by all who
have seen it.
The display was divided into four
parcels, of which photographs have
been taken, which are being eagerly
bought up by the people of the town
for distribution.
The following is the value OF the
gold and a description of the man
ner in which it was recovered:
1st Gold Pan, $24.40; End Gold
Pan, $63.60; Bird Gold Pan, $27.4O;
4th Gold Pan, $500; One Car,
$1,000; One Wheelbarrow, $1,000;
total, S3S0.30.
AS result of the publicity given
the discovery quite an exodus has
been the order from here and in the
course of the next few days other
equally encouraging Developments
are looked for.-Skagway Alaskan.

SHORT route TO
CRAYS HARBOR
New Auto Route to Seattle.
Would Reduce Distance to
Seventy-Five Miles

| SEATTLE, March 30-Residents of
Vashon Island are seeking to inter-
! est the state highway commission in
, the construction of road which will
place them and the farmers of Kit
sap and Mason counties, to the south
and west of them, in touch with Sc
attle John King, Charles Schaefer
and William Gibson, of Vashon, who
were in Seattle yesterday, for some
time have been agitation the matter
with members of the Automobile
Club, Of Seattle, and other good roads
enthusiasts.
THE route we propose would bring
tho Hood canal, Mason county and
Olympic peninsula territory fully
twelve hours nearer Seattle than 1T
Is today" said Mr.. King From
Three Tree point the ferry authoriz-
ed at the recent election will cross
to vashon island: from the west side
Of Vashon island to the Kitsap coun.
" mainland would be = stretch Of
less than mile for ferry, and ulti-
mately bridge. From that point
the road would cross to the southeast
ern end Of Hoods canal and then run
southwest to connection with the
Port Townsend-Grays Harbor road be-
tween Union City and Potlatch.
Twenty Miles Done Of Building
"Of this road, forty miles in length,
twenty miles is already completed or
under construction. Besides opening
rich farming country to the east
and south Of Hood canal it would
bring the scenic Olympic peninsula
within easy reach of Seattle and
would create an automobile route of
only seventy-five miles between Sc
attic and Grays Harbor."
The Vashon committee pointed out
that the Lake Burien line already ex-
tends almost to Three Tree point,
which would be the eastern end of
the proposed ferry.
! This route" said Mr.. King, lis
the only feasible one directly be-
tween Seattle and the scenic Olym-
pic peninsula. The road would be
direct benefit both to the farmer
and the automobilist. The agricul-
tural region to be traversed is one
of the richest in the state. At pres
ent it's roads lead everywhere but to
Seattle, and it would be mutually ben
eficial both to the residents of this
section and to Seattle to furnish a
transportation route that would bring
1t in close touch with this city"

sioner at Port Townsend for informa-
ton concerning his brother The
letter was forwarded to the Port
Blakeley Mill Co. The lumber COM
pany replied to Mark, saying that no
such percon as Ralph Shelley was on
the cambridge when she arrived, but
that young American sailor named
Chrales Star seemed to fit the de.
scription.
The death of Star in an Aberdeen
rooming house was noted in the
Northwestern papers, and was read
by Mark Shelley, who wrote his
uncle Ed. Shelley, the Aberdeen
grocer, asking him to look into the
matter. The body of Star had been
held seven or eight days, and then
buried by the Sailors Union. In
quiry at the Whiteside Undertaking
parlors discovered a photograph Of
the dead man taken with two com
panions, and was at once Unidentified
by the uncle as his nephew, Ralph
Shelley, and the brother was soon
informed and asked to break the sac
news to his parents.
Ralph Shelley was "a years Of age
and had followed the sea during the
past five years, and had sailed in ant

was not known that he had assumed
name, nor, is it at all probable thai
he did so until his last voyage on the
cambridge.

 OF RED CROSS OFFICIAL
Dr. Edward Ryan, Who Was in Danger
 of Execution as Spy.

Vera Cruz May 1-President Huerta today ordered the immediate release of Dr. Edward Ryan, an American Red Cross official who was threatened with execution as spy in Zacatecas. The release was ordered after urgent per- sonal representations to President Hu- erta by William M. Canada, the American consul here.
 Huerta telegraphed to MT. Canada this afternoon that he did not know that Dr. Ryan was to be put to death, but that he had ordered the federal commander at ZacatecaS to release him at once and give him transportation to Mexico ity. From the capital President Huerta promised to send him to Vera Cruz.
 Representations in behalf of Dr. Ky an also were made by Sir Christopher Cradock, commander of the British naval squadron in Mexican waters, through Sir Lionel Garden, British minister and by the Brazilian minis ter, acting for the United States.
 Ryan Released.

Secretary Gar rison later went to the White House with maps of the coal regions to dem onstrate that the troops already sent were not sufficient to guarantee peace and order. The president agreed and told the secretary to send whatever troops he thought best.
 Secretary Garrison said he had is sued no instructions for disarmament in the coal fields. He said he would take no action in this respect until he had received a full report of conditions in the strike zone from the officers Cn on the scene
 T have requested information" the secretary added, "aS to what classes of citizens are carrying guns, and what use is being made of them"
 Secretary Garrison issued the orders after long conference with President Wilson. He said the step was taken, not because trouble was expected but because it had been dem onstrated that the five troops of caval- ry now in the coal fields did not pro- vide enough to cover the large terri tory involved. Reports from Cobra do tonight the secretary added, were very favorable.
 The twelve troops of the Eleventh would be distributed through the Trin . idad Walsenburg. Aguilar and Forbes districts and the two troops from the Twelfth will go to Boulder and Lewis vile.
