I DKMCVVS OP THE TRAIL
COXTIXL'E MURDEROUS WORK
That the demons of the trail,
who have perpetrated three murders
aro at work still, nad that travelers
from Fairbanks to the coast are in
constant danger of their lives, is
evident from the reports made here
. and at Valdez by a number of peo
I pie, says the Fairbanks Times of
recent date. Tho latent attempt at
j murder took place at Teikhell re
cently, when t^vo men attempted to
|shoot the operator at the telegraph
J station, but were frightened away.
According to a report received
i here yesterday, Dr. Winnns, who
I returned to Valdez after holding
an autopsy on th© body of John
Smith, which was found some time
ago, stated that tho man had been
! shot in the back of the head. The
j greater part of the flesh of the
| body was in s«ch a decomposed
! state that very little information of
—
value could be obtained from the re
mains.
P. R. McGuire, who investigated
the two murders of last year, is on
the ground now, running down whal
ever clues there are, but at the
present time the marshal's office is
not prepared to glvs out any result
of his investigation.
While in Fairbanks on his last
trip, Bob Sheldon stated that once
j this season, while he was coming
irom the coast, someone took a
shot at him and the bullet pierced
the hood of his car. He became so
frightened that he took litle time
to investigate, and turning on all
the power his car could muster,
made away from the district as
fast as possible.
Marshal Brenneman of valdez
has ma dp a request of tho depart
ment of justice to have a number of
men detailed for duty on the trail,
in the hope of running down the
murderers. All travelers ever the
trail arp urged to go fully armed,
and not to travel alone.

AN OLD-TIMER SAYS THE
CHISANA DIGGINGS ARB GOOD
I The Cordova Alaska Times of
Sept. 20, says;
George Wilson, one of the beat
known old-timers In the north, and
well known throughout the whole
interior country as the "Printer
Prospector," was an arrival from the
Chlsana diggings on the train
which arrived here Monday. Mr.
Wilson has spent many years in Al
aska, prospecting in nearly all of
the camps from Valdez to the Yu
kon, He was one o£ the first men
to prospect in the Chisana coun
try, having gone there in 190(J and
has prospected many of the creeks,
but unfortunately too near the
mouths of the streams to find the
rich pay which has since been un
covered. He was in that country
I during the -seasons of 1900, 1907,
11908, and 1909, and sunk the first
holes on what is now known as
Wilson creek, but which he then
named Slate creek. The name Wilson
creek was bestowed about two years
ago by Whitman and James because
of the fact that Mr. Wilson v.'as the
first one so far as known, to work
on the creek- Johnson creek was alto
named by the same parties because
of the fact that Aaron Johnson, who
accompanied Mr. Wilson in 190G, was
the first man to work on that
creek.
During his several years of pros
pecting in that section Mr. Wilson
failed to find gold in paying quanti
ties, although he was told by the
Indians on several occasions that
there was "hiyu" gold "way up"
the creek, the same information was
the cause of James and his partner
striking the pay which caused the
big rush to the Chisana last year.
Mr. Wilson became interested in
the Nabesna copper fields nad lo
cated several claims there, continu
es to do bis assessment work for
several years.
Last January he went to the new
diggings in company witn "Bud"
Sargeut to view the diggings which
he so narrowly escaped finding, and
has spent the summer theae. He
is very optimistic o^er the outlook
tor the future of the camp, bellev
iii that the yield of the precious
metal -will be far In excess ot the
various estimates heretofore given.
During the past summer
Range, who was working on a lay
fiom "Bud" Sargent, has taken out
no less than $30,000. When he clos
ed "down for the season lie was in
the richest ground he had yet en
countered, but it was frozen, and
because of the cold and stormy
weather the thawing was slow. He
decided to close down for the sea
sou and begin anew nevt spring.
Hamshaw, it is stated in the
camp, has cleaned approximately
110,000 feet of bedrock which has
yielded about $140,000. At this
time hp Is in frozen ground which
is extremely rich. The ground la
broken with dynamite and allowed
to thaw in the weather. After a
shot recently , one of the workmen
picked out in a short tima nuggeta
to the value of more than f £00 from
the frozen lumpg of gravel, while
the face of the cut is said to b*
freely specked with gold.
Carl Witham will take out
$3,000 to $3,500 this year. He
also is in the richest ground work
ed this year and hia pay Btreak ha*
widened considerably. Among the
recent finds on hla claim was a
$12i nugget.
Wliitham has also dona consider*
able prospecting on hia claim on
White Gulch, where, on the rim
about 20 feet above thg oreek, he
struck ground which yielded about
a dollar to the pan. From ,ihla
ground several of the mlaerB hay®
rocked out sums running from £200
to $300 each.
On Last Gulch excellent pros
pects have been uncovered, not suffi
ciently rich, however, to warrant
working with pick and shovel, but
which will pay well If worked by
hydraulic methods.
Mr. Wilson states that probably
200 people will remain in the camp
during the coming winter, and that
most of them will do considerable
prospecting, and that he looks for
a number of discoveriea to be
