From S5.50 to £45 Per Suit
; have contributed much to knowledge
>f the coastal region and waterways
of Alaska.
The Alaska Commercial Company,
an American corporation doing bosi
: ness ,b Alaska, was formed in l&G'J.
In IcTO th.s ijiipaDj leased the Prib
... f 1 stands from the Government for
a period af twenty years. The com
pany also established trading posts,
principally cm the Aleutian Islands,
KocLiak Island, Kenai Peninsula, and
the Yukon river. The activities of
this corpora: :• -*n resulted in increased
knowledge : the American North
land.
In ISO the first river steamboat
ascended the \ ukon. During the same
year Captain Raymond, U. S. A-, led
tn tipec.t..up the Yukon river for
the parpK.se .f determining its source
and to leans something about the ac
tivities of the British in that region.
It addinon to gathering much vaiu
a:ue uata pertaining to the native
p: t ulatiuc and the resources of the
c. _r.try. Raymond surveyed the lower
John M _ ir, the great naturaler
auc expL ’-.r. accompanied by Rev. S.
Kail Young. explored parts of South
eastern Alaska in IS 76. They diseov
tre_ 11 utr .acaer aad Glacier Bay.
Ivan I etr.an agent of the Teeth
Census. ISS . made a no table eontri
; .t««t : th- knowledge of the geog
raphy an: resources of Alaska. He
spent tw years in travel along the
c ast ant . n the lower Yukon and
K ufikafewtsk rivers.. He made a map
: Alasaa ehkh was fairly accurate
anc wn; set forth the general faa- *
ttres j tie country, .or hiding moon- |
tans ranger rivers, etc. Petrof, who
rat i nr >:-r; a resident of the Terri
tory aztd who was familiar with both »■
the i. _*-a and native langoares, was
tr. at espe: .ally fertunu:-; position to
se: are acc urate information.
Ir IbS. the first of the early pros
pectors wed the Indian trail over
Chukotr. Pass arid reacted the Lswes
—t■ t Yukon nvers. Gold was reported
or the Yu r as early as 1S67, the
time at the Western Uinn Telegraph
survey. id was discovered on Sew
trt Perdu1 la, near Norton Sound, by
lutcy, a member ut a party sent
there to .-usiali a section of the tele
grtpr line.
m ISsa Lieutenant Frederick
Schwatte, accompanied fey a topog
ra: her, C, W. Hcfaaa, aad four
•thars. crossed tie Cisastal mountains
and consent ted a raft on Lake Ben
nett. wraith they named. From that
_n: tt-ej proceeded by a route known |
as Indian portage to the Lewes river, ;
thesae tm tic Yukon, which they navi- ,
gated se> its => -th.
Perhaps the most remarkable ex- 1 ^
t kratian journey in all the history of i
\ was made by Lieutenant Henry j
T. Allen. March. 133a, he Landed at j
the mouth of the Copper river with j
f:ur timiipa' ons and traversed that j
stream for a distance of 300 miles
with poling i-nats and dog sleds. He !
then cresset over the divide to the I
heacrwaisrs of the Tanana river and ]
f; .Sowed ins .. urse to its junction with
tbs Yukon river. From the Lower
Yukon he crossed to Norton Sound,
via the portage, and follewed its
son them border to the mouth of the i
Takas, from winch point he returned
toe Unite; States. He mapped the *
three rivers which he had traversed 1
and made other valuable observations, j
