SEARCH FOR GOLD
ON THE PORCUPINE
PARTY OF FAIRBANK8AN8 LEA VE FOR UNPR08PECTED FIELD8
OF GOLD IN WILDERNES8E8 BEYOND THE PORCUPINE
IN THE ARCTICS—TO HUNT FOR LOST MINE
On a thousand mile trip to thu
headwaters of the Porcupine lo
hunt for a hid dm deposit of gold,
Horace liuddleslon, Frank Hud
dleston, (.Jeorge S. Lewis, Fred.
Oakes and Phil. Olt got away in
a poling boat for the lower river.
They will he gone until late in
the fall, and may possibly decide
to remain until winter.
Oakes is in possession of a
chart, obtained from an old min
ing man on the outside, which
purports to show the exact loca
tion of the fabled deposit of the
yellow stuff. The chart gives the
latitude and longitude of the spot
ui d it is to ascertain this that
Lewis is being taken along. Lewis
is a surveyor and was formerly
with the land survey, lie is tak
ing a full set of . instruments
along, as well as several kodaks
and a couple of do/en rojls of
films for the purpose of obtain
ing views of the country.
The parly will lake a small out
lit from here and pick up a poling
boat, that I hey have purchased,
at Nenana. In Ihe I wo boats Ihe
men will lloat downstream L«» (ho
Yukon to Tanana. From there
two of tlie men will go down lo
Ruby, to got a small steamboat
that has been bought by the men
The boat will be brought, back to
Tanana and from there the party,
fully outfitted will start up the
Yukon. A stop will be made at
Fort Yukon, after which the men
will start up the Porcupine on
their long trip. They expect to
make the head waters within a
month, and after getting within
packing range of the sP°t marked
on the chart, they will disembark
and start inland.
The men are hopeful of (hid
ing the gold and will do their best
to locale the spot shown by the
former northerner on (he chart in
Oakes' possession.
The boat will not take a barge
upstream, as it is believed that
all of (he goods can be carried in
the vessel and two poling boats
that have been secured fur the
journey. The steamer will po up
as far as possible and (lie men
will proceed the rest of the way
in their poling boats.

Cartwright came to I lie news
I>aiM*rs in Seal lie and Tacuma and
represented himself at? a Cordova
merchant, a l'riend of Lainmers,
lold of Lainnier.s' death and wealth
and reported himself as seeking
heirs to the estate, lie asked that
his story be given tin* widest pub
I icily. Through I he newspapers
Mrs. hammers was found work
ing al Hie slate asylum at Steila
eoom, incognito.
She had not heard of Lainmers'
death and was much agitated
when she saw the stories told by
the alleged pseudo Cartwright.
She al once made her identity
known and proved if. 'Appoint
ments were sought with Cart
wright, but he dodged them and
was next heard from in Cincin
nati, seeking heirs of Lainmers'
estate. Inquiries have also come
from Buffalo.
Photographs of Laminer^ were
positively identified by Seattle and
Tacoma newspapermen and oth
ers as Cartwright and the furth
er fact was brought out by Mrs.
Lainmers that her husband, when
flurried, suffered from a slight
Impediment in speech that was al
so noticeable in "Cartwright."
