FIRST GOLD FOUND
IN ALASKA IN 18««
The first gold discovered In Al
aska by a white man *as found on
the shores of Arctic bay in. Novem
ber -"t the year 1866, according to
a statement made today by Captain
D. B. Liby, the discoverer who ar
rived in the territory of Alaska at
that time, in charge of a telegraph;
narty seift here by the Western Un
ion Telegraph company. Capt. Lit>
bv has been located in the Kash
witna country during the past year
and a' half, engaged in prospecting
tnat country and arrived in Anchor
age yesterday on his way with bis
son, D. B. LiDby, jr. to Seattle.
Captain Libby arrived at Port
Clarence before the purchase of tha
territory by ttie United States gov
ernment from the Russian govern
ment in 1867. The Western Union,
Telegraph company Becured a tele
graph concession from the RusaXan
government and In the year 1866
sent Captain Libby north for the
purpose of determining a route
across Alaska to connect with Si
beria and Europe.
In the meantime the cable was
successfully laid across the Atlantic
ocean and made unnecessary the
line to Sloeria. Work was then
abandoned by the Western Union
and Captain Libby returned to the
states.
He came north again in 1897 and
has since that time been a member
of practically every stampede In
the northland. He was on^ of the
discoverers of Ophir creek and took
out considerable money from his
claims there In 1897.
Captain Libby. and his »on will
leave Anchorage on onq of the
early boats and will make his home
in Seattle.
The Princess Alice will sail from
this port tbig evening at 7 o'clock
