D NEWS FROM SCENE Sawyer, Knee Dislocated by Fall on Glacier, Reaches McCarty and Cables News of Rich Placer Strike After four days spent in personal investigation of the Shushanna gold fields, E. O. Sawyer, city editor of The Star, sent out ahead of him the first complete and authentic story to come from the new gold fields. Then, a day later, he left to return to McCarthy. Yesterday his story reached the cable office at McCarthy, and this morning Sawyer himself arrived there. He came out with a party of seven, ami for two hours was lost in a blizzard on Russel glacier during which time two of the party, Emil Hankeman and Peter Emon, had their faces frosted. With four other outfits, the Sawyer party was forced into camp at Scolai pass in zero weather on Aug. 30. On Sunday morning last, Sawyer fell ard dislocated his left knee. Owing to the icy trail he could ride but four of the 12 miles to the next road house, but he made it by hiking and hanging onto his horse. The balance of the trip was mace on horseback. At McCarthy, the doctor told him that by walking immediately after the acc ved his leg from growing stiff. “It is snowing here today,” Sawyer onal message, “the earliest in seven years. It is a bad for stampeders on the trail. ther on the pass is worse than when we crossed, | leave here on the 5th for Cordova.” Below is his report on the Shushanna. By E. O. Sawyer (City Editor of The Star) WOODROW, Wilson Creek, Alaska, Aug. 28.—(By messenger to Mc- Carthy, Sept. 2.)—The placer diggings between here and Johnson Creek, on the Shushanna river, known as the Shushanna camp, are one of the richest finds in the history of Alaska and may equal Dawson and Fairbanks. This opinion is reached after four days spent upon the ground in personal investigation and in con- versation with mining engineers and placer miners. There is an extent of gravel deposit 15 miles by seven, all workable ground and staked. Newcomers are staking the mountain top and the quicksand of the Shushanna river. Pay dirt has been found in six creeks, an area of six miles by nine. Color has been found in the surface dirt on benches. No hole can be sunk to bedrock in deep ground until the surface freezes. The shallow diggings are very rich. William E. James, the discoverer, has taken out $27,000 from his claim, at the mouth of the Little Eldorado, but lack of water prevents regular work. THE SMALLEST CLEAN-UP ON THIS CLAIM, WITH FIVE MEN SHOVELING TWO DAYS, WAS $1,450. THE LARGEST WAS $3,100 IN A DAY AND A HALF. Carl Whitham, brother of the Seattle port en- gineer, who is digging a channel for water along- side of the pay streak on Claim Two, is getting $50 a day from the gravel with two men shoveling. Five men shoveling on Taylor’s fraction on Bon- anza are taking out $100 a day per man with some of the nuggets running as high as $40. Sluicing of the surface gravel on the big Eldorado is yielding pay. Work on other shallow claims is being held up The wi Five hundred men are at the camp with supplies to last until winter traffic opens. Over 2,000 have been at the diggings and of these 1,500 have been forced to leave owing to the lack of food. The men who are here for the winter are bui E. 0. Sawyer ding cabins in the timber on | Wilson creek. The town has been named Woodrow in honor of the president. Many men have hurried their recording work on their claims in order to get out before winter. Claims staked by men who could not stay to do the work lapse in ninety days. Late comers make lists of all claims and watch a chance to stake. On days when the pack trains arrive from McCarthy or the mouth of the Donjek, where the Dawson steamers land supplies, food may be purchased at $12.25 per pound. Some days it can’t be had at any price. The record price for food was reached when word came that the gov- ernment had quarantined Oscar Breedman’s pack train at Cordova. One cup of flour sold for $1.50, a pound of bacon brought $2.50, a cup of sugar $5. Stampeders who came overland from Dawson and Fairbanks were 20 days on the trail. Many lost their packs in the rivers and arrived barefooted, Then they bought or begged food and started back to McCarthy and the outside. Two men were drowned on the way in from Fairbanks. shot and killed himself. Three are reported to have starved to death on the trail and many were hurt. Four were drowned at the fords on the trail from It is rough from McCarthy over the Scolai pass and the Russel glacier trail proved much the best. This trail will soon be closed. A new trail is being surveyed from McCarthy up the Nazina river to the glacier and over the Shushanna glacier. This trail will be ready within two weeks. The new route is only eight miles and will be used as a winter trail, with wagons to the foot of Nazini glacier and horses and sleds over the ice to 15 miles of the camp. The government is being severely criticised for doing no work on the trail. Commissioner H. E. Morgan of the White River district, is unable to handle the rush of recording work. Deputy Healey filled up the record book on hand and then quit his job. Morgan is now keeping the documents in bundles and has asked to be relieved. He wants to work his. claim. Mining operators with money to buy ground are arriving from all direc- tions. Many choice claims have been secured by Fletcher T. Hamshaw, for Eastern capitalists. Hamshaw’s outfit, with 14 men, was at the North Fork island on the White river, 28 miles away, when the strike was made. They were prospect- ing copper property. The party staked about 40 claims, all of: which were recorded and later transferred to Hamshaw. The James g¢laims, 15 in number, are owned in partnership by James and his wife and N. P. Nelson, who were with him when the discovery was made, and William E. Johnson, a Dawson man who grubstaked the® outfit. Johnson has just arrived with a pack train of supplies. The James family has been living in a 10x12 tent x One accidentally
