PLACER DISCOVERY IN UPPER
GAKONA, RIVER SECTION
A placer strike, which gives prom
ise of being of considerable magni
tude, is reported front the upper Ga
kona river district, and a poke of 10
or -2 ounces of dust and nuggets
some of which pan a dollar or better,
give confirmation to the report, says
the Valdez Miner.
“News of the strike was brought
to Valdez by Frank H. Foster and
Charles H. (Moose) Johnson, on their
return recently from Fairbanks over
the Richardson Highwaf. They said
that at the Gakona roadhouse they
had been shown a poke of dust, left
there by the discoverer, who had been
there the day before and had re
turned to the find. The discovery s
said to have been made on Alder
creek, at the extreme head of Gakona
river, by a man named French, who
was confident he had struck a bo
nanza.
“French sent word of the strike to
James Lyons, of the Paxson road
house, and he and another man left
the next day with pack horses for
the new discovery.
“Alder creek, t is said, was visited
in the early days by prospectors; and
some gold was found there, but little
prospecting was done. French is said
to have been prospecting in the dis
trict for seveal months, :and the 'gold
brought out is the result off his pan
nings. The gold is said to be very
bright, remarkably like that from
Slate creek diggings, from Which the
new strike is not far distant.'*
i
The Proof.
Edward A. Filene, the Poston mer
chant and economist, .had been [prov
ing at the Cosmopolitan dub that
mass produeion is .an incomparable
benefit to mankind.
“But why keep <on with these
proofs ? ” he wound up. “The thins is
as evident on its face as Smith’s 1
marrioge.
“ ‘You say Smith as married, but
what proof have you?’ an employer ,
asked.
“ ‘Well, sir,’ said an employe, “I saw
Smith pushin ga baby coach last Sun
day morning, and there was a young
woman on one side -of him and tan old
woman on the other, and .as I passed
the young woman said, ‘You’ve come
home in that condition eight Saturday
nights running, you cad.* And then
the old woman chiped in with, ‘Do, for
goodness’ sake, Eth£, make him pat
another thousand on his life "before
his liver's gone completely.”*
Expected Too Much.
Muriel: “1 hear you’ve broken off
your engagement to Jack.”
Madge: “Yes, he was becoming a
nuisance—he wanted to get married.’’
