IDITAROD CAMP IS i
ALMOST DESERTED
In spite of the fact that a large part
of the Iditarod population has left
the camp during the past couple of
seasons , there is some mining going
on there, according to Joseph H. Smith
of Fairbanks, who recently made a
trip to Iditarod on business.
The principal mining at present is
confined to Otter and Flat Creeks,
two dredges being operated on the
former and several small outfits on
the latter stream. The dredges are
owned by the Riley and Beaton inter
ests. The town of Iditarod, which
boasted a large population in the
boom days of the camp, now has only
five women and about a dozen men,
and a number of these are plannang i
to leave for the states before the end
of the season. There are several
stores, some of which will be closed
as soon as the stocky are disposed of.
There have been no new strikes in
*
the district lately, Mr. Smith says,
and no developments to encourage the
belief there will be a revival of min
ing there in the immediate future.
Like all other interior gold camps, the
cost of mining there at the present is
such that only the richest remaining
ground is worked.

in the vicinity of Fail banks, more
than 2,COO bushels of grain were
harvested last year, with an average \
yield of 20 bushels per acre with a i
value of $5.50 per bushel, according1 to j
the chamber of commerce of White-1

There are now 102 homesteaders in j
I
the vicinity of Fairbanks engaged in
raising wheat, barley, oats and other ]
fanning products.
The reports show that oats are
very prolific in tlie Tanana valley
and that yields of 70 bushels are not
uncommon. This statement is vouched
for by M. D. Snodgrass, superintend
ent of the agricultural experimental
station at Fairbanks.

300 ONE-ARMED MEN

WINNIPEG, Man., Sept., Eng
land's greatest employer of onearmed
men, W. H. Dunklee of London, manu
facturer of carriages, recently visited
this city on a preliminary survey of
land and social conditions of Canada,
with a view of bringing the poor from
the slums of London to Canadian
farms.
Since the armistice, Mr. Dunkley
has employed none but one armed
men. He now has three hundred of
them in his factory and has found that
these crippled soldiers, properly train
ed, not only can do as much work, al
most, as men with two hands, but are
given a new interest in liferby work
ing with men of their own kind.
