NOMEITES AMONG
WINNERS IN TOLSTOI
CAMP ON INNOXO
j W. J. Lang Ion, formerly a resident I
of thi3 set ction and well known in
| Nome, has written the Nugget a let-j
_____-------— I
tor containing news of the New In
no'io camp and mention of several one
time Nomeites a part of which Is
given below:
In order to answer a number of
letters of inquiry about Tolstoi at the
s me time it should be said that the
whole country is looking good. Boot>
ci*ek lie3 on the tundra, throws very
little water and in fact looks like a
nitre depression in the tundra. As
they say. no one but a boob would
ever have looked for gold on or near
niar it. At the present time it is the
or.'y creek that shows up really good
ai.d about 22 or 28 men and women
h.-.ve made stakes of from 85,000 to
JtO.OOO from Its dlgging3. The pay
w"s discovered In March last but
wry little work was done during the
si'mmer.
James Plcher, formerly ot Nome,
has found the best pay on No. 1 be
low discovery. Among the other lucky
Nomeites are W. A. Vina!, present
I'niied States commissioner, Arthur
E- tom, the Kirby brothers and Teddy
Cassidy. 4
John Relck and brother struck good
pay on lower Ganes creek.
Orecr and McNulty sold a lease and
400 foot fraction for $36,000.
Other successful ones are J. Robison.
Mrs. Nellie Bates, Frank Dawson end
partner, Beatty, formerly mull ear
th r. Max Minard, Mulcher, and Van
Dtedale brothers.
The town of Tolstoi Is three miles
h.m Boob and has some substantial
buildings.
James Haley aad Bob OrlSU have a
| peroral merchandise 3tore there. Bob
I is still grappling with the gee pole.
I In December • he and Haley passed
through here with 2,600 pounds of gold
ust front the Guyg dredges near ldl
ta'od bound to Seward for his annual
..creation. The dust was extractea
alter the last boats sailed.
Tolstoi has two stores whose stocks
art about sold out, a cigar store with
dings, two billiard rooms, two food
roadhouses, and one good resturant
owned and run by Frank Morgan
which would be a credit to any camp
Meats and all luxuries are freighteu
fi. m Iditarod. Meals cost $1.60 each.
A email apple or orange costs 26
cents; a good, or bad, cigar 26 cents;
sugar 25 cent3 per pound; eggs f30 a
case; mountain sheep and moose 80
cents a pound; beef 60 cents a pound;
uuoie 60 cents a glass. There is no
soloon nor lundry but the latter
would do well here.
Max Slmel has a store at the con
| tluence of the Tolstoi river with the
! Ditna which is n big help to this camp
for his supplies can be brought by
water in the summer at from 5 to 10
ernts a pound and In the winter they
ire hauled to Tolstoi for 1 cent a
pound.
Poob creek has a by-product ’hat
we have been unable to identify as
ye* but I take it to be platinum. I
expect to get a wire from the outside
scon from Mr. Saupe of the Flume
Dredge Company as to Its value.
Hi took a pound out with him over
the Seward trail. The pro3pec*3rs
claim that Little and Dedge creeks
.blow considerable of the metal. If
It proves to be platinum It will make
iliis country boom.
Oeorge Riley, Ross and Pete Mamer
have bought most of Boob creek and
are working forces of men this winter.
F'.ciy man here this winter has had
wo:k. Even Indians come from Kaltag
and elsewhere to cut wood.
We have no mail carrier an no post
ofT.ce.
A a to the other creeks James Wil
son has pay on Flat creek, a tribu
tary of Esparanto. Fifty cents pans
are common. I am told, also Madis-m,
and Tom Muclke ha3 40 cents to the
foot on Esperanto and expects to
giound sluice next summer. There Is
pi.y also on Madison creek. These
ciceks are 15 miles from Boob and
flow into the Tolstoi.
There are other creeks with pay dirt
which was proved last fall by ground
sluicing.
All I can say about the country is
that it sure has a great future. Hun
dreds of creeks await the plucky
rough neck. It is a country 60 miles
by 60 miles of practically virgin
ground. Mammoth hones are found
ou Boob In the pay, some of them
ll'erally covered with fine gold, show
ing that the run of gold was In the
g'aclal age. The high channels or
hooches carry the gold.
Mosquitos and gnats are simply hell.
There is no game. Ptarmigau, grouse
and rubbits are not to be found hut
g*cyling and trout are abundant In
the summer. There are brown and
black bear in plenty. Pur Is scarce
and there Is no trapping. Beaver ane
plentiful but are forbidden.
cjhn Cameron, formerly In the Uni
ted States revenue service, is now In
charge of Edwards Bros' business at
Ophlr. He Is now a full fledged minor
and mines In the* summer on Cripple.
This Is a typical frontier camp—
eeerythlng goes. There are six wo
rt en—two married, two of the soiled
deve type, a merry' widow and Little
who helps in time of trouble, Is a giod
c< ok and drives her own dog team.
Although some of the boys may
si end $500 in a night and have a big
hind the next day the dry vote was
large. We have never yet had a fight
and only one man has lost money by
theft. No arrests have been made and
thre Is no marshal. There have been
two relocations for failure to record
the assessment work. Why can't our
law-3 be made so that they can be
uvderstood? Tell Dan and Frank to
gt t busy. Make the laws so plain
that the hyphenates can decipher
enough of them so that they will not
bother men who have complied with
the laws.
Father Slfton of Holy Cross Is here
ard Is the first clergymun to enter
our domain. He received a hearty
welcome from all.
