WADA, JAP IVIU8HER,
SEES CAMP HE STARTED
( Continued from page lj
Marathon racing, and figured in
several of the big contests, but he
left shortly after Ihe great Fourth
of July Marathon of 1909, when,
before the largest crowd ever
gathered at Fairbanks, Jerry Sul
livan, of Nome, with his musher's
trot, came home with the money.
Since that date until Saturday
night Wada has found time to
cover considerable stretches of
northland, besides spending al
most a year in the stales.
One of Wada's Alaskan stunts
■since leaving Fairbanks was the
blazing of Ihe overland trail to
the Idilarod from Seward, lie was
hired to do this by the town of
Seward and returning, reported
that the route was feasible and
that the Iditarod would make a
good small camp. The road
commission lias since followed
Wada's route.
The next year found Wada
down in the states, where almost
I In* lirsl person he mot was a now
wealthy ex-senator from Texas,
whom Wada had known 20 years
before up near Point Barrow, just
after the Texan had graduated
from college. The two held the
big talkfest and then they took in
the East together, not forgetting
the Great While Way at Now
York. After almost a year in the
stales under the direction of his
old Point Barrow friend, Wada
hied himself north once more,
hacked by the man from Texas,
whom .ho now represents and
whom he is to meet at New Or
leans when he gels outside on
hi«s present trip.
The lirsl point visited last year
afU*r leaving San Francisco was
Ciood News Bay, near the mouth
of the Kuskokwim. Wada re
mained there until last November
when he heard of the Aniak river
strike, when he moved up river
and investigated that country.
SI ill later he stampeded back
down river to the Tulasak river
and got in on the ground along
Bear creck.

prosP«ctor
[llio Tulasak, Wada took Jack
IBaird, forineiiy of Fairbanks,
willi him and moving a prospect
ing drill the two crossed over to
the Kiskokwim in the spring and
proceeded to test some of the
ground on Bear creek. The in
dications were very favorublc,
hence NVada's trip out to New Or
loans to lay his findings before
hi« hacker.
To judge by the bottle of coarse
g'.ld that Wada carries with him,
taken from Bear creek, some of
I ho nuggets being worth $10, it is
evident that the prospectors se
cured more than indications.
Bear creek and I he Tulasak arc
not regions unknown here, for
several local people are interest
ed 'n the ground which was staked
fo'ir years ago. Most of the stak
ing at that time was by power
of attorney and after blanketing
Bear from end to end, the stakers
left the country, leaving the creek
tied up so that late comers could
not get in, and thus it stood un
til the past winter when il was
re-slaked.
The re-slaking of Bear ere A
followed the movement of Wada
fioin Aniak back down the Kus
kokwim, for at that time Hie Bu
ll ro strike on the Aniak appeared
to be a frost and the miners in
I he region were only too glad of
an exe.use to move on.
Wero the Tulasak country a
lillle different i| doubtless would
long since have taken its place
among the producers that are on
everybody's tongue, hut I In
ground throughout the region is
wet. True, there are live men in
camp on Bear that have each sea
sou taken out a grubstake, their
return* being about sin per day,
hut they have m>( been situated
in a manner suitable for hand
ling the water.
From the tests made by Baird
ami Wada the little brown musti
er is well satisfied that Bear creek
will soon be famous as a dredg
ing camp, for there i* plenty of
gold on bedrock. In fact the
Kuskokwim Commercial company
will be one of the outfits that will
put a dredge on Bear creek this
summer. Wada does not know
who their backers are.
If the grade were sleeper Bear
might be worked by giants, hut
under pre-cut conditions hydraul
ic methods cannot be used.
Referring to the Aniak river
which empties into the Kusko
kwim about 75 miles above the
Tulasak, and which heads back
against the same mountain as
Bear creek, Wada predicts that
I tie men on Marble creek will have
a good little camp. When he
and Baird parsed through the
Aniak in April real pay had been
ioealcd, the men who were in the
money being Tony Zimmerman,
Harry Buliro, Fred Robelle, Tony
McDonald, Fred Warren, I>an Mc
Carly and Hank Downing. At thai
time pay four feel thick, 100 feet
wide, ranging in value from .St.50
to ft.' to the square fool of bed
rock. had been uncovered for 1 ,
000 feet. He thinks thai there is
no douhi it since has been traced
much farther.
That the find on Marble creek
looks good to the people down
river. i* indicated by the fact that
the .\ company has moved its
post from fSeorpelown down to
the mouth of the Aniak. while
Cieorgetown is almost deserted for
1 lie new town springing up at
Aniak.
Wada will leave on the next
boalf or the outside.
