Langdon, an old-time j miner, who- spent several years pros- 1 pecting in the vicinity of Nome before | leaving here two years ago for the out- j side, where he was to stampede to what j is known as Valdez creek, dropped into I the Nugget office yesterday and re- 1 lated the following interesting account ' of his meanderings in search for the i yellow metal, says the Nome Nngget. WI left Nome two years ago on the last trip of the steamship Northwest ern, with the intention of doing some, prospecting in the Valdez creek conn try, but upon my arrival at Seward found it out of the question to get suf ficient supplies into that district to j accomplish any work in the prospect ing line. "Giving up- that trip, I followed the route of the Alaska Central lino, and kept on going until I canve to Hartman river* one of the tributaries of the Kus kokwim. near the headwaters of that great river,, some 800 miles above Bethel via the river. "I wish to state that on what is called the Kenai peninsula it is esti-i mated that there are some fifty thou- , sand head of moose, and during the time 1 was in that section of the coun try (February to April, 100f>) it was nothing to see from twenty to thirty head a day. One day I saw fifteen moose in one bunch, an unusual sight, for they seldom go in droves. "On the headwaters of the Kusko kwim one can find large, fine timber, birch, spruce and tamarack that will square eighteen inches of good, sound timber. "In working our way down theKus-l kokwim we passed hundreds of old river channels in what we knew to be mineral belts, and we came across de posits of gravel in these old beds, from j 200 to 100 feet, as good looking wash as I have ever come across. "We also picked up many specimens of fine-looking fioat, containing free gold, near the headwaters of the Kus kokwim, but. the mountains were buried many feet in deep snow and ice, j so it was out of the question trying to find the ledges. "At Tocana, some 150 miles below the headwaters of the Kuskokwim river, is a large trading post established by the Kuskokwim Commercial com 'pany, who have large warehouses, and call this their lower post. Last sum mer this company shipped 100 tons of supplies to this station, and by this; time every pound of the grub has been sold to the natives,, trappers and miners in that vicinity. "During the past summer there were four stern-wheelers on the river, the Hat tie B., Victoria, May D. and Star. ; aud every ono of the steamboats had all they conld do all summer getting the supplies up the river. "On Fourth of July creek quite a number have been prospecting, and some gold has beeu taken out, but nothing very big. i saw two ounces from that cieek.

"On a small stream opposite Kolma koffsky, a place at one time known as a Rnssian fortress, two old men, who had been ditched by one of the com panies, who were not able to take them np the river any farther, did some prospecting and discovered a little pay. ^ The two men are camping on the creek and taking out a little gold. The strike was made in September last. "Some fifteen or twenty men are working on what is known as the Tale- / sack river, where low-grade dirt is \ found, nothing big, and a lot of water to contend with. \ "Knskokwim bay is charted only a9 far as Carter l>ay, and vessels drawing 13 feet of water, the Monterey and Abler, have made several trips up the Kuskokwim as far as Bethel this past summer. "The trader rules supreme in that country, and at times runs things high banded. One incident will illustrate what 1 mean: A native woman, about twenty, who lost he husband, cut and stacked seventy-eight cords of wood to sell to the river steamers and did this ^ all by herself. One of the traders came aloug, aud, claiming, that her husband owed him a large amount of money, took the wood away from her, sold it, and kept the proceeds. 4tThe natives of the Kaskokwim dis trict are suffering from the white plague, and the germs are fast getting a hold ou the tribe. They have not been taught to fight this dreaded dis ease, and unless they get in and fight it, it is liable to exterminate them. "Before I quit telling about that part iL of Alaska, I want to mention the vast stretch of country to the south and west of she Iditarod. There is a sec tion containing hundreds upon hun dreds of square miles that has never been seen by a white man, and it is a mineralized country or near a mineral ized zone."
