'SEEK REIMS OF
| UKIUI PROSPECTOR,
'OLD' TOM CANNON
—
The following account appeared
in a recent issue of the Seattle Star,
with respect to one of the best
known of the many fine Oldtimers
! of the Northland:
! A considerable sum of money—
the “poke” of John Thomas Can
non, veteran of the Alaska gold
fields, better known among Alas
kans as “Old Tom,” who died re
cently in Providence hospital—
j awaited the old man’s heirs today
I in the First National Bank,
j “Old Tom” was a common sight
! in any gold mining camp of Alaska
from Point Barrow to Metlakatla.
With a heavy pack containing his
! “stake” on his back, he would
j trudge off every spring into the In
! terior of Alaska and prospect.
Coming out in the fall he would
bring his “poke” to Seattle and

bank what he didn’t need to keep
him during the winter and take
him back to the “gold valleys” in
the spring.
i “I’m goin’ back just once more,”
the old Sourdough would tell his
friends each spring before he head
ed off alone into the wilds of Alas
ka, “I’m goin’ to ’spect for just a
mite more dust—then quit and go
east to find my relatives.”
Every year when he went in it
would b e the same story, and
every spring he was just going to
“’spect just once more for another
mite of dust for my poke.”
This spring Old Tom didn’t go
North. He was 73 and too weak to
hit the trial. Instead he made ready
to go east but death caught up with j
him before he had a chance to
leave the city. He died last week in
Providence hospital.
Altho death took Old Tom quite
by surprise, it didn’t entirely catch!
him unprepared. He had time to
make a trust agreement with the j
bank that it make every effort to!
locate his relatives.
The “poke” awaits them now.
