NOME CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
PETITIONS FOR PROSPECTORS HOME
(Continued from Yesterday.)
The ranch Is in the center of the
reindeer industry of Seward penin
sula; and fresh reindeer meat can be
had at all seasons of the year at ex
tremely moderate rates.
The game of the vicinity consists
of fox, rabbits, mink, ptarmigan, er
mine, swan, geese, ducks and sand
hill crane.
The ranch lies at the base of the
Sawtooth range of moutains and but
three miles away. This range is a
highly mineralized zone containing
quartz bearing gold, silver, lead, tin,
scheelite, antimony, graphic and
other minerals, and is practically un
developed.
Transportation. The ranch lies
about five miles from the Seward pen
insula railroad. It is also accessible
by water navigation from Nome di
rect to the ranch landing on the river
by vessels drawing four to six feet
of water. The water route is by way
of Teller. During winter months it
is on the direct mail route from Nome.
The home located at this point
could he heated at very little ex
pense by utilizing the hot water direct
from the springs of Hot creek, bn
circulating the same under its own
pressure through the building, or by
the use of the natural wood fuel
available for such purposes.
The ten acres proposed to be do
nated for this home will consist of a
beautiful building spot in the timber,
, extending across and taking in a part
of Hot creek with the Hot mineral
springs where a bath house can he
built, and including an area of agri
cultural ground, sufficient for the
maintenance of tlio occupants.
By the purchase of a horse, a cow,
hogs, chickens and a few farming im
plements, this homo located at Kruz
gamepa Hot Springs, would be prac
tically seif supporting, and a mor
ideal location cannot be found in lie
territory.
Various pietures taken at the
springs are indosod herewith, for y mi
information.
Nome affords a r< adv market f ji ill
excess vegetables grown at tin
springs, and top i i leh prices ni\ paid
for Hot Sprint's produce.
Kruzgamep i Hoc Springs ranch was
patented pr .ir to tlv withdrawal I y
the federal government of hot and
mineral springs from location, and it
is believed that these are the only
patented hot mineral springs in Al
aska, with title clear, and subject to
donation, under the provisions of said
act.
As between locating (his home in
the Second or Fourth division, your
particular attention is called to the
fact that the Second division is iso
lated from the other divisions of the
territory, and during seven months of
each year, it is impossible to trans
port aged soldiers and miners from
tilts division to any other home lo
cated in any other division of the
territory, whereas, the Fourth divis
ion will very soon he In direct rail
communication with the home now
established at Sitka, and a home as
contemplated by said act is unneces
sary in the Fourth division. More
over, during summer transportation
by water, patients from the Second
division now sent to Sitka are com
pelled to go by way of Seattle.
Fairbanks hits recently been award
ed the school of mines; the First
division is in direct communication
every day in the year with the out
side world by water transportation;
the Third division and the Fourth
division have its government railroad
and direct communication, to say
nothing of the many thouoands of
dollars expended annually upon its
lutomohile roads, and other thorough
fares, while this division (the Sec
ond^ isolated for seven months of the
year from the other divisions and the
outside world has received no gov
■rnment aid whatsoever in public im
provements, save ami except a very
small portion tof annual allotments
for public roads, the amount of which
has only been sufficient to partially
maintain roads already constructed.
For the foregoing reasons, and many
>thers that might bo urged, the peo
ple of ttiis division, acting through
he undersigned chamber of oom
nerce, request that the donation of
fered by Mr. Schofield to the territory
he accepted, and that your honorable
commission take immediate action by
locating the permanent site of the
mldicrs and prospectors home iu in
terior Alaska to Kruzgamejia Hot
Springs, in the Second judicial divis
uon of said territory, in accordance
with the provisions of said act, and
■onstruet and equip said home ac
cordingly, and thus your petitioner
>vor prays.
