FOR SUB BASE
Halifax, Aug. 20.—The Halifax
Herald and Eveninr Mall offers a
reward of $6,000 for the finder of
a submarine base on the Nova Sco
tiaa coast or the seaboard of the
(Bay q' Fundy.
"There will be a good placer
strike sometime between the Cas
Biar district and the Great Slave
Lake country, is the opinion of
Tom Wilson, one of the discoverers
of the Caasiar diggings in 1874 and
one of the discoverers of the ricn
Cassiar Bar on the Yukon in 1880.
Pritr to that time Wilson was
mining nlacer gold In Alder Gulch,
Montana. Now in his 99th year he
is taKing it easy at the St. Ann's
hospital. But he U still hale and
hearty despite his near approach to
the century mark.
"The miners came into that coun
try," he said, "by -way of the Sti
klne river, just «a they ilo today,
and ov irland via the Hudson Bey
trail a?.rth from Washington thru
British Columbia. Flour was not
so hiirh in those days as one
might imagine. We could often
buy it for $8 per sack after it had
been ireighted up th© stickine,
packed across the portage and
floated down to the camp on the
Dease river."
I Even when they came into the
country in. 1874, Mr. Wilson said
excellent potatoes were being rais
ed et the Hudson Bay post in there.
Some oI these, he Bald, were ship
ped out to the States and took the
prize at a big fair. The people
were then talking about planting
this Northern grown seed in the
districts further south in hopes that
such feed would mature earlier.
As described by this old pros
pector, the country abounded in
wild game and fur beavers. "The
beaver from the Dfiase Lake region'
were acknowledged to be the best
beaver brought to the Outside mar
kets," he said. It is today still
considered an excellent country for
game and fur.
