Tanana Set for Porcupine River Trip From Dawson
The steamer Tanana is scheduled to leave Dawson for Rampart House on the Porcupine River to support an international boundary survey party and possibly deliver supplies to Cadzow's trading post. Rampart House, though moved to New Rampart, remains a key interior hub with high prices and scarce goods, while the Porcupine is famed for scenery and has a history tied to early fur trade.
