Tribute Is Paid
To The Late
Johnny Johns
—
PIONEER OF FORTY YEARS IN
NORTHLAND—HAS REMARK
ABLE CAREER
JOINED NOME STAMPEDE 1900
Hampton John Johns, who pass
ed away in Anchorage February 17,
and was laid to rest in the Anchor
age cemetery under the auspices of
the Pioneers of Alaska, of which he
had been a member in the Nenana
Igloo, was one of the typical pion
eers of his period who contributed
to the opening of this great north
land empire. A man of splendid
education, he chose the life of the
frontier and was in nearly every
gold camp of Alaska and the Yukon
during the last 40 years. A friend
has prepared for The Anchorage
Times the following splendid sketch
and tribute to his memory:
IN MEMORIAM
Hampton John Johns was born in
Pennsylvania 66 years ago, and re
ceived his primary education in thej
public schools of that state, after
ward receiving his degree from Le
high University, where he studied
mining engineering. After gradua
tion, Johns taught school for some
time, but teaching was not to his
liking and he soon moved then to
the state of Washington, where for
the next few years he was engaged
in mining in the Monte Cristo dis
trict, at a silver-lead camp on the
western slope of the Cascade Moun
tains. In 1895 he came to Juneau.
The following spring he mushed
over the Chilcoot Pass, and floated
down the Lewis and Yukon Rivers
to Circle City, then the largest camp
in the North.
In the early winter of 1897 Mr.
Johns was working some frozen
ground on Mastodon Creek, drifting
land taking out a dump, when au
thentic news of the rich Klondike
strike reached him, and he immed
iately dropped everything and stam
peded over the ice to the new camp.
In Dawson he was fortunate in gett
ing a lease on rich ground and he
j was making considerable money.but
unfortunately like many another he
could not resist the siren call of the
Nome stampede and in the spring
' of 1900 he joined in the rush to the
new find on Bering Sea. The next
i few years he spent over the length
j and breadth of Seward Peninsula.
| Then he followed the stampedes to
Fairbanks, Iditarod, Ruby, Shushan
na and other lesser camps.
A most persistent prospector, Mr.
Johns never missed a strike, and be
ing always in the vanguard of the
stampeders, he pioneered in every
camp struck in the North during the
last forty years.
Mr. Johns was possessed of a
charming personality. Quiet, mod
est and unassuming, his gentleness,
his kindness and his understanding
created friends for him wherever he
went. To these friends his sudden
death came as a great shock. Long
will the memory of his thoughtful
ness and kindly deeds be remem
bered. —A FRIEND.
To Install
Power Plant
At New Mines
A hydro-electric power plant to
supply power for the mill and drills
and general purposes of the Explor
ation and Mining Company, left
Seattle recently on the freighter
Tanana. It will be taken inland
from Cantwell, on the Alaska Rail
road, to the company’s property of
gold quartz claims, known as the
Denali group, on Timberline creek,
says the Anchorage Times in a re
cent issue.
Bill Watson, electrician, who has
been in Anchorage for the winter,
will leave to install the equipment,
and will busy himself with prelim
inary work until the equipment,
comprising a Pelton-turbine unit,
arrives on the ground.
F. W. Wagner, manager of the
company, is expected to arrive from
the outside on one of the next boats.
Other officials of the company also
are expected soon. Most of them
live in Idaho, and have been there
for the winter.
John Carlson, mayor of Cantwell,
and heavy owner in Valdez mines,
is interested in the new company.
He arrived here a few days ago and
proceeded to Cantwell. Pilot Hak
ron Christensen is expected here
soon with a new plane for use in the
district, and will freight supplies to
the Denali group.
Why George Didn't Stand Pp
At the breakfast table the other
morning he was relating to his wife
an incident that occurred at the
lodge the previous night The presi
dent of the order offered a silk hat
to the brother who could truthfully
say that during his married life he
had never kissed any woman but
his own wife. "And would you be
lieve it. Mary, not one stood up.”
“George,” his wife said, “why
didn’t you stand up?"
“Well,” he replied, “I was going
to. but you know, dear, I look so
funny in a silk hat.”
