NOME’S TUNDRA
NOW LIVELY
Nome papers as late as Nov. 2
have been received. At that time
the scene of the late strike on the
tundra was lively—with indications
that it might be “deadly” a little
later on.
The Gold Digger says No. 1 be
low discovery, Little creek, yielded
over $35,000 as the result of bareiy
two weeks’ work with a force of
live men using the most primitive
methods.
From the ('.old Digger it is!
learned that about the time J. C.
Brown struck rich pay on No i !
below, Little creek, the Pioneer;
Mining Co. engaged a special train j
and placed Harry Johnston in pos
session of discovery, claiming the
ground under a title purchased
from August Schultze. A few days
later J. M. and P. M. Danielson,
went on the property to do their
assessment work, which they allege
they have performed every year
since they located the claim in Jan
uary, 1901. Twice they attempted
to do the work, but were ordered
off in a threatening manner. They
then leased the property to Chas
U. Hoxsie and he with about eight
men tnoyed onto the claim. Re
fusing to leave when requested,
they were arrested and tried for
criminal trespass, and were ac
quitted by a jury. Immediately
after Hrxr-ie and j arty w<.re ar
rested the Pioneer Mining Co. sent
Joseph Warren with a small army
to take possession of the claim.
The men are heavily armed and
entrenchments have been thrown
tip to protect them in case of an
invasion. Pickets patrol the bound -
aties of the claim t.iglit and day.
Little creek ami its benches pre
sent a lively scene, says the ('.old
Digger, and in a few days the en
tire tundra will be dotted with
cabins and st^am thawers, extend
ing almost from the city limits to
Anvil mountain.
At a mass meeting held in Dis
covery hall, Little Creek City, a
consent Iona of government was
established, and amidst a great dis
play of enthusiasm a mayor, alder
men. chief of police, chief of detec
tives, city clerk, city attorney, city
physician, municipal magistrate,
and street commissioner were
elected. No one could I* found to
accept the office of city treasurer,

the alleged count’s claim to a title,
but the keeper of the "herd l*>ok”
