LATEST ABOUT THE
WILSON CREEK STRIKE
The Nome papers devote considerable !
"pace to the “Andreafski strike.” so-called.
From a news standpoint there appears to
be nothing to add to the story published
in The Pioneer of September 27. and the
letters of later date. Not enough prospect
ing has been done to determine the extent ,
or value of the find, and nothing has yet !
developed to justify a stampede. The indi- *
cations are favorable, and it is possible that
g 'Id in paying quantities may yet he found.
NY. NY Johnson of the Union Construc
tion Company gave the following interview
to the Nome Nugget recently. He was one
of the first "i reach the new diggings after
the strike was reported at St. Michael:
The misnamed Andreafski strike is in .
reality *;5 miles above, at a place called i
Marshall City. The discovery was made
seven miles up Wilson creek, winch enters
the Yukon nr this point, at the mouth of
a short stream calle ? Disappointment creek.
This creek is one and one-half miles 1 mg
and has only six claims on it. Wilson
creek is 12 miles in length. Discovery was
made where the high rim of Wilson was
exposed, and there was from three to six
feet, of gravel on this rim. which has come
out of Disappointment creek.
The geld is in gravel, and Mr. Johnson
took thirteen pans in a rocker from bed
rock to surface on its face which weighed ;
N1 cents. Eleven pans were taken from 1
different points, and these when rocked :
weighed 55 cents. One pan was picked ;
in the gravel. This weighed 35 cents.
At a point 250 feet up Disappointment ■
creek they have a shaft nine feet deep, ;
which is not yet down to bedrock, but is as
deep as it can go on account of water,
h is claimed that the last .".x feet of gravel
in this shaft panned fr in 2 to 10 cents
per pan. Mr. John.- n took three pans
near the two which weigh .1 lb cents. In
one of these pan? was a 10-ccnt nugget, j
Bedrock in this shaft woul 1 probably be
about 15 feet.
On the next claim :-iwve. about 1.000
feet up tiie creek, a shaft is down on right
limit 21 feet. The best pans are claimed
t.» be 2 cents. Three pans taken around
the top of this dump weighed less than
1 cent altogether. This shalt is about lot)
feet from the center of the creek bed and
might he off the pay streak.
A drill is now crosscutting Wilson above
the mouth of Disappointment creek, and
it is expected that some additional infor
mation will be forwarded by the last boat
down the river, about the loth mst.
The formation is schist, porphyry and
granite. The day Mr. Johnson left. Sept.
29. men had come back from a creek just
over the divide south of W ilson creek, and
claimed to have found as high as 1 cent
a pan in surface gravel.
At present there ar * about 7b men in the
camp, and most of them feel that, while
there is hardly enough in right to warrant
a stampede, the surrounding country is a
great place to prospect, and these men are
making preparations to spend the winter in
this work.
There G ample timber f r fuel •and other
prospecting purposes. There are some trees
up to 12 and IS inches in diameter.
The Northern Commercial Cmnnany has
a barge l video with provisions for about 7b
men for the winter. This will be ldt at
Mar -hall City.
Ground is being staked so as to conform
to the new mining law. and. it is generally
accepted that unless a man does $100 worth
of locaiicn work within 90 days his claim
will be opcn for r< i 'cation.
The cieeks are thawed, but a-; a rule
the benches will be found to be frozen.
As a matter of fact there has not been
enough development as yt: to warrant
cither condemning or bogging the camp.
Where the discovery was made th°y
have from 810.000 to $15,000 in sight,
which it will pay to shovel in.
There are six other short creeks in ad
dition u> Disappointment, all emptying into
W’iGoii creek.
A surprising feature of it ad i; that whb 1
si me < f these are from ''tie and one h b
to two miles in Gngth. there is a .-luice
head of water in each creek.
Plenty feed for your dogs, ('row ley &
Porter.
CONTENTMENT
l used to sort o’ pine and hanker to be a well fed banker with money in my
paws. I used to stand where men were banking ami listen to rhino clanking, and
think how sweet it was. The banker marked my v.ish and told me that I was full
of prunes. "Beheld me," he > aid in somber tones, "a man by care di-treu ad. e n
founded. though all the time I am surrounded by g'Hen h mm I'm old bed-re my

is buttered, and peace before you lies; sidestep the business hurly-burly, and do your
Christmas shopping early, and swat ten mill: n flies.’’ And every man whose mb I
covet admits at once he doesn’t love it; it rather makes him tired; some other mbs
have made him jealous ; he looks with envy on the fell v.vs whose snaps are much

STORIES OF TRUE HEROISM
Nome Newspaper’s Account of Destruction
Wreaked by Elements on Gallant Little
i
City—Solomon Utterly Destroyed
The Nome Industrial Worker of October
S contains the following story of the disas
trous storm of October 5, G and 7, which
is supposed to have destroyed about a mil
lion dollars’ worth of property:
It was midnight Sunday before the peo
ple of Nome realized that there was a dis
aster impending of portentious possibilities,
but as the wind increased in ve,ocity and
the huge breakers broke upon the beach
with greater and greater fury few there were
with residences, stores or cabins along the
Samlspit or the beachside between the Sub
marine and l'ort Davis who did not know
that the night was full of menace and
danger. As the wind grew more and more
violent the electric lights came and went,
adding to the foreboding which all felt.
The spasmodic fits of light and darkness
added to the horrors of that dreadful and
memorable night, when few slept and all
prepared for catastrophe.
The I-ilite bath house, which stood erect
in its four-storied steadiness, first fill the
brunt of the waves, and it was the first
to fall.
Two men were having baths in the base
input at 9 o’clock Sunday night when a
comber broke in through the windows, pelt
ing their persons with glass -an unpleasant
shower.
Vet, strange as it may appear, there were
many who slept regarnless of the danger,
and when the house was in serious jeop
ardy, had to be roused. The back porch of -
the Board of T rade went early in the even [
ing, and after midnight every business man )
and resident oil the south s.de of front J
street was anxious to clear out h:s be- |
1 -urines.
i >n the Sandspit. owing to the going out
.d the Snake river bridge, ti e inhabitants
•.••ere in a .-enows plight, ami here was suf
Drcd the 1 ,ss that v:!i be lilt m st. as the
miners and < th r workers who had laid in
their stock for the winter n >t only lost that.
, but even their p- rsmiai effects, their cabins j
I : !:d happy homes went by the wayside into
the Snake.
“As the ('.awn broke up' n the city it was
a sorry sight that met the eye from the
; Mibmarine to Ti rt Davis, win! • the worst
: liad yet to come. At the time that Pay
’light broke the k.’hte bath h me and the
Board of Trade were the only buildings
1 which had suffered .-eriously. but it was
made evident that the waters were ri.-ing.
1 he surf getting more and more terrific, ami
the squall- more and mure frequent and
iurious. At its fa.-tejt the wind traveled at
j the rate of To'A miles an in or, v.hdu to, •
; air was tilled with sand ami .. aim' from
.he frothing Bering sea. Cra-h after crash

: Front street har«.ly made tlieu;setv"s heard
! ai*o\ e the fearful din of the pounuing Mirf.
, 1 he ( cean no 1 nger mourned in flowing
| pur; la but raged in white and livid fury a
j ;t tore the buildings that faced its wrath
i as a terrier would shake a rat. rIhc Hying
; Buss, the drifting of zinc roofing hurleo
' many hundred feet by the wnids. the debris
! that was thrown all over t! e street by the
I wind, which, with th? aid of the surgin'
waters, tore planking, routing and walls
i from their positions, made work or walk
; ing on the streets a matter cf extreme
i peril.
i et there was no lack or help, and a i
j willingly lent a hand to aid each other.
I Men who came to town re-cued by the
! valiant work of the tire las- I fe saving crew
i on the Sand-pit and beach boat house men.
| after they had list ali their personal effects,
j money and cabins, never murmured, but
j got busy in lending what as.-istar.ee they
j could to others in the city.
Down towards the Standard Oil every
j building was early wrecked, and the street
. became impassable, while that section that
could be traveled over was a foot deep with
; fuel oil that came from some leaking tanks
or drums torn loose in the storm,
i The women rose to the occasion, and
j many provided lunches for the stricken,
j while the Kegoayah Kozga Club worked
| unremittingly to meet the necessities of a ,
; material nature of the hour.
; There were many houses with baskets of (
! sandwich: s. cans of hot coffee and immense
dishes of stew, which supplied many with
hot lunch. But to mention all who assist
ed in this work would be to name practi- ;
cally everyone whose opportunities to do so 1
were unaffected by the storm.
The ubiquitous movie man with his cam- |
ra was present to take the surf, the wrecked
buildings and the hurrying throng of work
ers who hastened to place the merchandise
in safety.
And the morning after! What a scene
1 of desolation in Nome! Damages are esti
mated at various figures, but none go less
than one million dollars The Industrial
W rker figures it out at one million and a
half real and personal loss, but one cannot
| figure in dollars and cents the actual loss
j through this dire calamity Fortunately the
loss of life is not great. The body of a man
was found near Peluk. and C. D. Morrison
is reported missing. Charlie Dill told a
representative of this paper that he saw
the body and head of a man rising in the
surf of the Sandspit Another stated that
he knew of a man being in the back of the
Headquarters saloon when the building col
lapsed. But this is merely conjecture. Of
narrow escapes from death there were not
scores but hundreds, and one man was
roused from sleep in his cabin near the
! Standard Oil when a roof from a building
across the street cut right through and fell
alongside his bunk.
The work of clearing the debris began
early. Among the houses which opened
up almost immediately was the Pacific Cold
Storage, whose loss was very great, with a
“water sale” at reduced prices. Although
W. H. Webb’s market on Monday was the
Mecca of every hungry person in Nome, not
a rise in price followed. The same can be
said of John J. Meyer, who lost his North
Pole bakery for the time being, but kept open
in the Anvil bakery with an increased staff
of girls to wait upon the hungry. The
entire situation was most remarkable for
the general cheerfulness with which the dis
aster was received, everyone congratulating
the other that it was no worse.
Nome is probably the only city where a
like disaster could happen where saloons
were not closed, nor did they patrol the
streets with soldiers. There was no excite
ment, everything was orderly, and they all
took the terrible calamity as a matter of
course, bad but inevitable.

SOLOMON WIPED OUT
Acts of Heroism Recorded by Correspondent
on the Scene
Writing from Solomon. James M. Reilley
has the following interesting account of the
disaster at that place:
Every building in Solomon City is wiped
opt and 20 feet of water is roiling in tem
pestuous breakers over what was once Solo
mon City. Down at Bonanza every build
ing is gone. All that remains there is the
mammoth oil tank, that seems to defy the
elements and stand alone, Ajax like, defy
ing all things pertaining to the elements.
The people of Orolino. mainly Mr. and Mrs.
Phillips, are succoring oil the ladies whi.e
nearly all of the men are cared for by N<1
-on and ODon of Shovel creek. Mr. Steipel
meyer is also entertaining a group of ma
rooned miners, and with his employes is
acting the part of a metrop lit an bomfaee
in catering to their wants.
River People Equal to Occasion
It seems as if ah the Solomon river pe >
pie cannot do enough for the sufferers; it
seems good to see such a grand display of
sympathy, and makes one thoughtful. The
milk of human kindness is not all dried up.
The natives here are in a pitiful state. The
blow came so suddenly that the poor souls
cvrld not save a morsel. All their winter’s
supplies are gone and they seem to be de
moralized. I tried to get some information
from them, but from their disjointed and
incoherent statements I could not learn of
any casualties among them. Shivering and
.-baking, I met about twenty of them mak
ing their way up the railroad, and it put
me in mind of an old country funeral.
Natives Mourn Loss cf Everything
Their mournings are 1 ud an 1 their woe
is heartrending. Surely some!lung ought to
be dene for them. Cannot the g •.eminent
help them, and must toe citizens again ex
tend them pcrs« nul a>M-;tance hood i

water soaked, Lot it is Kismet.

any driftw ud has ever been.

It was bare and cruel work. Hands and
feet were blue and trembling with cold and
almost covered with ice and sleet, they at
la.'t landed two and a half n.’Ies on the
ti nbra. It was a terrible experience, and
too much cannot be said for die indefatig
able manner in which Mr. Renney and Mrs.
Renney strove to save the dory and its hu
man freight. Surely something of Grace
De.rbng must of necessity be in the make-up
of Mr.-. Miller, or has history repeated
itself? She received her opportunity, any
way, and grandly she responded to the oc
casion
Iditarod is now the proud possessor of a
ft.11 -Hedged debating society. The large and
comfortable hall over B 11 Ansley’s book
store on Richmond street has been secured ,
and is being fitted up with seats and ta- j
bles, and there will be plenty of literature j
on hand for the members. The society J
starts with an active membership of 25,
and nearly all of them are ready to take
a hand at the topics to be discussed. The
trustees of the society will shortly announce j
a winter program, which will contain many
interesting subjects. The society will en
deavor to arrange its meeting nights so
as not to conflict with the entertainments
of other organizations.
The town council held a meeting last
Monday afternoon and transacted al! the
pending business of the municipality. Ar
rangements were made for the necessary
improvements of the fire station, wherein all
the apparatus of the town will be housed
and kept in readiness for emergencies. There
wasn’t a great deal of town business that
required attention, and the session lasted
quick. Adjourned.

McCarthy, Oct. 5. Zero weather and

ouivi, are vci.v .nducc; in lact, say return

region. Never were mushers so unprepared
l. r the winter, and it is up to the most
of them to get out. The scarcity of pro
visions is working great hardships, and in
spite of the fact that there is all kinds of
m- ney among those who enter the camp,
they cannot get sup} lies suflicient to tide
them over until freighting bring> relief, and
the majority have simply got to get out.

mediately for more. Codec and sugar are
unprocurable. Ihe salvation of the pros
pectors is the ptarmigan, which are excep
tionally plentiful. lhcy can be knocked
over with a stick, and were it not for this
the miners would be in a bad plight. Sour
doughs are continuing to go in, some via
Whitehorse, others via Fairbanks, and still
more by M< Carthv and the glacier trail,
which is dangerous during the winter time,

the highwaymen, owing to the close prox
imity of the roadhouse to the spot where
they shot down the man who was escap

the other, who is presumed to have been

since the construction ol the road.
Portland, Sept. 26.—District Forrester
Cecil has approved the contract with the
George James Company of Douglas, Alaska,
for tne cutting of 4,000,000 feet of timber
in the Tongrass national forest on Farragut
island, Alaska The George James Company
is backed in this enterprise by the Tread
well Mining Company, which will ultimately
consume most of the lumber that will come
from the island. For many years box com
panies have tried to secure the timber on
Farragut island but have aways been
turned down. The sale of this timber to
the James company is causing great sur
prise in view of the fact that it was long
held that such a large parcel of timber
should be sold by competitive bids. The
timber is said to be the most serviceable
variety on any of the islands in Southeast
ern Alaska, and contains some magnificent
samples of Alaska cedar, the best grade of j
timber growing in the country. It is said
to be unexcelled for mining purposes, being
tough and lasting. Protests are not un
l;k 'ly at Cecil s agreeing to the contract, but
it is quite certain that it has been approved
by the department of the interior prior to
his extending it, also his approval. It is
said to be the beginning of the policy of
‘'opening up Ala..ka to development.” The
company which acquires control of the tim
ber will have nothing whatever to say af
fecting the surface rights of the territory,
which they will memy log off.
Juneau, Oct. 12. Fire in the Treadwell
mine shaft house got beyond control of the
Treadwell fire department, and the shaft
house and engines were totally destroyed.
The Ore originated from some fuel oil and
spread with great rapidity. The damage
.one is estimated at $40,000, but it is
doubtful if this amount will fully cover the
ss. The shaft house of the Treadwell
mine was by far the larg, «t in Alaska, and
one of the largest on the American conti
nent.
The social ball the first of the winter
-eas* n - -given f< r the benefit of the gvmna
ium fund of Camp Iditarod No. 27 la^st
.••aturday night was well attended, and the
net receipts amounted to nearly $25U. Quite
\ number were in attendance from the
'•reeks, and many more would have come
had the trails been in better sleighing con
ion. The music, furnished by Mrs. P. G.
Charles and Mr. Bain, with piano and :nan
1( I n, was splendid, and the dancers
■ bowed their appreciation with vigorous en
ures. The committee in charge of the af
fair provided and served light refreshments
throughout the evening, a feature that
, roved very agreeable to the dancers, and
also added a pretty penny to the fund for
* hieh the dunce was given.
The affair being such an enjoyable occa
i’ii. gave everybody an appetite for more
•f the same amusement, and it has been
•ecided that another party along the same
1 and for the same purpose would be
the proper thing, so one will be held at the
ante place next Saturday night, November
15. after which everybody can take a good
rest until Thanksgiving day, the 27th. when
Camp Flat No. 20 will give its grand annual
ball. Good sleighing days will soon be here,
and the series of social gaveties that are
programed for this town and the creeks
will be the bright joyspots of the good old
wintertime.
The ball committee has appointed efti
cient floor managers, who will take espe
cial pains to see that all who attend the
ball will be properly looked after and will
have no cause whatever for complaint of
lack of attention. The price of tickets hus
been placed at $3, which includes dainty
and bountiful refreshments.
I have in my possession a yellow mala
mute of about 75 pounds; brough him
from Dikeman; paid a $10 board LiU * r
