WELL KNOWN 0LD TIMER
 LEAVES FOR STATES.

Gordon Bettles, well known old Alaskan operator, having been a resident of the Territory since 1887, Jeff on the steamship Alameda for Whidby Island, Washington, where ne will spend the winter visiting with his brother, James and daughter, both former Alaskans.
 Mir. Bettles has just returned from a long trip along the Arctic coasl' He left Fort Yukon early in April, Ill company with H. McGregor, also an old time prospector, going by way or Chandlar and following up the river and through a pass into the Salmon and Colville districts. Here they en- ployed a chief of the Huske trlpe as guide and swung to the eastWafu' to within about 30 miles of the boun dary and about 100 miles from the coast line. They abandoned thel1 sleds the latter part ot May, anu packing their dogs, swung Ill "lue Circle 10 the westward, thence bacK hv way of Lake Colville to Fort Iu- kon. which they reached the latter part of August. MT. Bettles stated that while the district traVeled IS highly mineralized, it would take dol- lar TOT dollar to work 1t, as there Is not a stick of wood of any kind to be had. and no twigs even as large as ones finger. Cooking must be done with twisted moss Or kerosene stoves, and as supplies cannot be packed Ill in sufficient quantities, one must live off caribou and birds. While absent hlr. Bettles discovered new breed o1 wild sheep, they being well furred and of light yellow. They are much larger than the species in this sec tion. He reported their presence to a naturalist visiting in Alaska, who an nounced that he would go into the country and secure speci3lens next year.
 MT. Bettles declares the Huskie na- tiveS the finest specimens of Indians he has seen for some time. He says they use no boats but plunge into the icy waters of the streams and swim them like a wild animal. They carry mo sleeping bags but gather a little moss and curl up at night like bear. They have many legends and are su- perstitious to a degree. They trade at Herschel Island mostly.
 The country abounds with caribou, sheep, ptarmigan and foxes, as we'll as rabbits of two species.
 MT. Bettles settled on the Kusko- kwim in 1887 at Kolmakofsky, later selling out to Duke Stubbs, and locat. ing on the KuskOkWim. He knows the country north of the Yukon bet ter than any living white man it is said. In his boyhood he worked as a compositor on the Detroit Free Press. and printed the first paper in Alaska. at tne mlsslon aDOVe Holy Cross, in 1886. The press, and old style Gordon was sent out recently to the Alaska museum.
 Rev. Chapman wanted to translate part of the Bible into Eskimo, and sent to the mission board for a sma,l press and some type. When the out fit arrived it was large enough for a paper, and Rev. Chapman secured the aid of MT. Bettles in issuing a few editions of weekly paper, the first 70 be published in Alaska after occu- patton by the United States. MT. Bet ties was heavily interested in Lead vile in the early. days, before coming to Alaska. ...sf f4ft+ F' .'I E:."
