Tanana to Make Trip Up Porcupine River
The steamer Tanana plans a Dawson to Rampart House voyage up the Porcupine River carrying the boundary survey party and possibly supplies for Cadzow's trading post. Rampart House, 170 miles up, is a historic hub with Hudson Bay Company roots, now a thriving trading station under Cadzow. The Porcupine is praised for scenery, navigability, and winter openness, though gold prospects are slim.

E Coke Hill Returning Is Interesting Talker
Coke Hill arriving home on the Little Delta Wednesday morning shared many insights with friends. He attended the Cordova convention, praised Gilmore, and said the Shackleford Republicans were accepted as true in spirit. Hill doubts Wickersham’s nomination by the Independent Republican convention at Valdez on May 29. He reported hard sledding on the Valdez trail, and noted Ruby prospects with 20 days of discussions among Nome and Mitavod friends, pay found in several places, including a $20 nugget and pay at Glengulch, Trail Creek, Long Creek and Quartz Creek. At least one sluice yielded $357.45 in six days with two men employed. He described varied gold quality and a narrow pay streak, with frozen ground and shallow overburden. He believed Ruby may not provide full summer employment, especially if dry, yet the district shows promising prospecting potential with gold found widely though not always paying.
