AJtCIEIT CHAINS IJSf SALEM
Not long ago I enjoyed the privilege
of admittance to some homes of Sa-
lem containing rare pieces of historic
furniture each replete with history
dear to the heart of tho lover ot tra-
dition writes Grace B. Faxon In the
Pilgrim.
Perhaps the finest collection of an-
tiques In America Is gathered under
tho roof-treb of Charles 'F. Waters
who lives In Washington square and
nmong them all stands forth a chair
which because of real beauty com-
mands admiration. It is elaborately
and handsomely carved and to it be-
longs possibly tho oddest history of
any piece of furnituro in Salem. It
seems that ono John Cogswell came
over here from tho mother country In
1G35 crossing -the ocean in the good
ship Angel Gabriel which was tho
same craft that brought Sir Walter
Raleigh to Guiana South America In
1G18 on his second and last voyage.
John Cogswell embarked with his
wife eight children and household
goods among tho last this chair for
settlement In this country. A fright-
ful storm off the coast of Maine where
by mistake they had drifted caused
a total wreck of the vessel. Mr. Cogs-
well and family and what furniture
there was preserved were carried to
the shore at Pemquid Me. where the
family spread a tent and remained un-
til tho next week. They then took
passage to Boston and settled at Ips-
wich Mass. This chair descended in
the family until it came to Mr. Wa-
ters the present owner.
Once upon a time there lived in Sa-
lem a merchant of great wealth and
renown a Mr. Joshua Ward. Gen.
George Washington during a visit to
Salem spent a night at tho home of
Mr. Ward and spent in tho northeast
chamber of tho fine brick house.
Among the furnishing of his room
were several beautiful Hcpplewhlto
chairs. Ono of these chairs said to
bo the chair in which Washington Bat
to record his Impressions of Salem in
his diary is now treasured In ono of
the city's noted homes. It was while
on this visit that Washington wtoto
of tho women of Salem: "I have seen
at least 100 handsome and well-dressed
ladles a greater portion of them
having much blacker hair than is seen
in 'the south."
In the homo of Daniel Low in Es-
sex street the old cabinet house
where Mrs. Joseph J. Chamberlain
made her homo as Miss Endlcott
stands a Dutch chair of bandy legs
and beautiful proportions. This chair
Is more than 250 years old and has
descended from the first Low in Am-
erica who settled at Essex Mass. and
among whose descendents Is ex-Mayor
Seth Low of New York to tho pres-
ent owner.
FOVJVZ) GOLD JJV ALASKA
Gold was first discovered in Alaska
on the Anauk river a tributary of the
Kuskowim river which joins the lat-
ter stream about twenty-flvo miles
below tho trading post of Kalama-
koffsky says the Ketchikon Mining
Journal. The Anauk river was dis-
covered by Ivan Slmenson Lukeen In
1832 at which time he built a fort
called Lukeen's Fort on the Kusko-
wim river twenty-five miles above
the mouth of tho Anauk. It was partly
destroyed by natives in 1841 and re-
built by Kalamakoff a Russian
trader was afterward called Kalama-
koff redoubt.
In 1832 the headquarters of the
Russian-American Trading company
were at Sitka and supplies were trans-
ported thence to Lukeen's Fort by
way of Nushagak river Tic-chlc riv-
er -and lake and down tho Anauk riv-
er to tho Kuskowim river and thence
tip stream twenty-flvo miles to tho
fort. In 1837 tho yearly supplies
were sent by way of tho mouth of tho
Kuskowim rlvor and the old way aban-
doned as a summer route and used
only for the purpose of sending out
tho mails during tho winter by dog
teams. It was the only winter route
tho Russians ever used from any
point on tho Yukon to tho outside
(Sitka) and was only abandoned for
the purposo after they left tho coun-
try. It was while on ono of these trips
in 1832 that tho Russians discovered
gold on the Anauk and It Is known
to-day as tho Yellow River of tho
Russians. It is not known whether
they ever attempted mining on any
large scale or whether they found
gold In paying quantities but It Is
thought to be tho first time on rec-
ord of gold being found in this coun-
try. Lukeen was born of Russian and
Spanish-American Creole parents In
the Ross colony In California. Ho
was well educated at the Sitka school
and proved to be nn active energetic
and intelligent officer. In 18G3 Lu-
keen ascended tho Yukon river from
St. Michael to Fort Gibbon then a
Hudson's Bay company trading post
which was built by McMurray who
descended the Porcupine river In 1817.
Lukeen was tho first man who con-
nected tho Pelly river of Campbell
and the sea. Ho returned to St.
Mlclrael that fall. In 18GG tho Rus-
sian gnrrlson at Kalamakoff redoubt
In charge of Dementoff was with-
drawn tho United States having pur-
chased Alaska from tho Russians.
