STEWART.
Oct.

The
death
of
John
Stark
at
Anyox
last
week
has
fcntit
bae
to
many
old
Umenr
In
Stewart
the
days
of
1900-05
when
Stark
was
one
of
the
most
active
prospectors
in
this
district.
His
death
recalls
some
very
Interesting
facts
and
figures
surrounding
the
early
history
of
the
Portland
Canal.
A
party
wtilch
included
D.
J.i
Ratney
came
to
the
canal
In
1898
on
the
representations
of
a
bunko
artist
and,
as
they
were
mainly
after
placsr
mining,
most
of
them
left
sadly
disappointed.
One
of
the
party,
a
colored
man
named
Cook.
had
some
knowledge
of
prospecting
and
he
it
was
who
found
the
float
that
aroused
the
interest
of
Dad
Ratney
who
went
back
east
to
Michigan
and
formed
a
company.
Returning
to
the
district
In
1900.
he
staked
the
first
claims
known
as
the
Roosevelt
group,
on
Bitter
Creek.
The
second
group
to
be
stoked
was
at
Maple
Creek,
by
Wm.
Noble:
the
third
was
the
Red
Cliff,
by
Noble
and
Ratney;
and
the
fourth
was
the
Mountain
Boy.
by
Pap
Stewart.
All
these
claims
were
staked
in
1901.
Some
good
copper
float
was
found,
which
gave
assays
of
$70.00
in
gold
and
17
copper.
This
was
shown
to
M.
K.
Rodgers
by
Wm.
Noble,
and
on
Noble's
recommenda
tion
Stark
was
sent
up
to
look
over
the
ground.
He
staked
about
150
claims
along
the
Bear
River,
and
here
Mr.
Noble
pays
him
the
tribute
of
saying
that
he
(Stark)
could
get
over
more
ground
than
any
man
he
ever
knew.
In
those
days
there
were
no
trails
or
bridges.
The
first
cable
to
be
put
across
the
Bear
River
was
put
in
by
Noble
and
Stark
in
three
days,
on
the
site
of
the
present
bridge,
in
1904.
.
John
Stark
was
due
of
the
best
known
and
best
liked
prospectors
In
this
northern
country,
and
his
passing
will
be
sincerely
regretted
by
the
many
men
who
knew
him
in
the
early
days.
