The Anauk river was discovered by Ivan Simenson I.ukeeii in 1832. at which time he built a fort, called Lu keen's fort, on the Kuskowirn river, twenty live miles'aboye the mouth of the Aiiauk. It was. partly destroyed by natives in lS il and rebuilt by Ka lamakoff. a Russian trader, afterward and called Kalaniakoflf redoubt.

lu 1832 the headquarters of the Russian American Trading company were at Sitka, and supplies were transported from thence to Lu keen's fort by way of Xushagak river. Tic chic river and lake and down the Anauk river to the Kuskowirn river and thence tip stream twenty five miles to the fort. In 1S37 the yearly supplies were sent in by way of the mouth of the Kuskowirn river and the old way abandoned as a summer route and used only for the purpose of wending out the mails during the winter by ilog teams. It was the only winter route the Russians ever used from any point on the Yukon to the outside (Sitka) and was only abandoned for the purpose after they left the It was while on one of these trips in 1832 that the Russians discovered gold on the Anauk. and it Is known today as the Yellow river of the Russians, i 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 the first time on record of gold being found in this country.

Lukeeii was born of Russian and Spanish American creole parents in the Ross colony in California. He was well educated at the Sitka school, and proved to be tin active, energetic and intelligent officer. In 18(53 Lukeen ascended the Yukon river from St. Michael's to Fort Gibbon, at the Hudson Bay company's trading post, which was built by McMurray, who descended the Porcupine riverrln .1847. Lukeeii was the first mini wiio connected the 1'elly river of Campbell and the sen.

He returned to St. Michael's that fall. In 1806 the Russian garrison at Klaina koff redoubt, in charge of Deiuentoff. was withdrawn, the United States' having purchased Alaska from the Russians. Ketchikan Mining Journal.
