DISCOVERED OF CDISAHA GOLD
PASSES THROUGH SHAY
W. E. James, the discoverer of the
ChisniiH gold dlggugs, a xoiupanied |
by his wife, passed through here yew
terday on his way to his old homo
iu Los Augeres, Calif. They were
south bound passengers on the Prin
ucoss Sophia, which sailed from
Skagway last night.
During his stay -iu Skagway Mr.
James was interviewed by a Daily
Alaskan reporter , and gave some
interesting and valuable information
relative to his five years eperience
in the interior of Alaska prospect
ing for quartz leads and placer gold.
These years were years of toil
and hardships with only an occasion
al gleam of hope and were shared b
Mrs. James, who has been his con
stant companion on his prospecting
trips. For three years the two had
roamed through the almost uuknow
wilderness of the upper White riv
er country, had "mushed" over the
snows and glaciers iu winter and
through the swamps and ice cold
streams in summer in search of the
yellew metal, and only twice during
that time had they visited Dawson
to lay in a fresh supply of provi
sions.
In the summer of 1012 they were
joiued by Nelj F. Nelson, and cheer
ed up by his companionship, they
resumed what they were becoming
convinced was an almost hopeless
quest. The winter of 1912 hud pass
ed, and they had only found a few
colors along tributaries to Beaver
creek in Yukon territory, when they
were met an Indain friend of James
named Joe, who told them of a
quartz ledge on Chatienda creek, a
tributary of the Chisana, 28 miles
north of the White river. They de
cided to go over and examine the
lead and while on their way to it
rav across Carl Whitham, a young
trapper and prospector who had
been In the country for several year
and at their invitation Whitham be
came a fourth member of the party.
Upon reaching the Chatienda they
made camp and commenced to pros
pect, and on the third day of last
May James and Nelson found pay
dirt at the mouth of a creek above
the quartz ledge which they had
been directed to by the Indiau. They
named the creek Bonanza, and later
on James and his wife while prospe<>
ing along the channel reached Its
confluence with Johnson creek, and
it was at that poi.it the strike was
made that has since made the dis
trict famous. The ground looked so
favorable for placer that they com
menced to prospect and shortly after
they began work, the richness of
the gravel told them they had reach
ed the El Dorado of their dreams. A
shovelful of gravel taken from rim
rock showed values of $25.00, and
later on when James and Nelson be
gan work in earnest on dscoverv
$23,000 in 20 days was the wonder
ful result.
Since that time 3,000 people have
visited the country, some to lo
cate claims and make preparations
for their development, others to get
cold feet and turn their faces toward
the outside.
Mr. James said: "There is an
immense section there that lies in
a highly mineralized zone, and in
which little if any prospecting had
been done previous to our discov
ery of the gold bearing creeks in the
Cliisaua. While the gold found so fa
has been taken from shallow digging
I am firmly convinced that further
.work will confirm my belief that
the best pay will be found at great
er depth thaD. has as yet been
reached, as was the case in .the
Fairbanks district."
"Lack of facilities for working,"
continued Mr. James, "and a short
age of grub are the chief reasons
why so little actual development
work has been done up to date.
There was 110 lumber in the camp to
be had for sluice boxes, but my part
her and I let some of the nearby
claim owners have part of the hy
draulic hose which we had taken In
with us earlier in the season, and
they got along fairly well."
"I have been told on my way out
that since I left the Chisana, rich
placer discoveries have been made
a few miles cast of that district in
the Yukon territory, and from my
knowledge of the country, there i3
no doubt in my mind that the story
is true.
"It is my opinion that by the
1st of next January there will be
several thousand people in the
Chisana and adjacent country, and
that many valuable discoveries will
bt made in the course of the next
year.
"On our way out in Septembe-,
we passed hundreds of people on the
White river headed for the diggings,
and although there is an abundance
of game in parts of the country,
there is likely to be considerable
suffering and hardships among'thos
who have undertaken the trip with
short rations. 1
"Mr. Nelson, my partner, and my
self will return early in the year
and expect to take in a complete
mining outfit. We intend going up
the. White river and thence up the
Snag until we reach the trail we cut
out last fall.
MAW CARIBOU
ALONG THE TRAIL
That ten caribou visited the crew
working along- the Valdez trail, near
the seven-mile post, was the news
brought to town by several of the
men who returned last evening
Councilman Dan Callahan, who is
in charge of the work, said that the
animals came within 100 feet of the
scraper and seemed to have bus lie
tie fear.
The greatest excitement prevailed
along the trail for a few moments,
as everybody was looking for some
weapon with which to kill some of
the caribou, but there was not ev
en a revolver in the crowd. Several
of the crew ran about a mile down
the trail to get a gun, but when
they returned the animals had van
ished.
Mr, Callahan states that in many
places along the trail he has seen
fresh tracks of caribou, and that he
feels certain that the run this year
will be close to town.—Fairbanks
Times.

E. J. SHAW CANDIDATE
FOR CUSTOMS COLLECTOR
"13. J. Shaw, resident-agent of the
Moore Wharf company, at Skagway
for many years, arrived in Juneau
last night. Mr. Shaw is a candidate
for appointment as U. S. collector of
customs for Alaska, succeeding Col
lector J. R. Willis, who yesterday
asked the department of the treasuijj
to relieve him by January first.
Mr. Shaw will retire from the
Moore Wharf company next week.
He is said to have several endorse
ments for the collector's office.—
Juneau Dispatch. Oct. 11.'
Through Mr. Shaw's innate mod
esty and dislike >f publicity, the
Alaskan was not informed of the
object of his recent trip to Junueau,
and it was upon reading the above
that we first became aware that he
was an aspirant for the position of
Collector for this district. At this
writing we have been uuable to ver
ify the truth of the above. If it is
true, however, the Daily Alaskan car*'
and does heartily endorse him in
his effort to secure the place made
vacant by the resignation of Mr. Wifc
lis.
Mr. Shaw has 1 een in the employ
of Moore's wharf Co. since 1898,
and upon the resignation of Mr. C.
Wynn Johnston, as manager two
years ago, was appointed to fill the
vacancy. His connection with the
company in the capacity of manage'-,
terminated yesterday.
Mr. Shaw is well qualified for tha
office he seeks, and the Daily Alas
kan is one of his most sincere well
wishers wherever his future lines
may be cast. I
