HISTORICAL
DATA AS TO
THE WEATHER
I r air Dames i^mzen)
Lars Westenvik, the Steel creek
mining man, has been in Alaska since
1898. During that time he has always
been interested in the weather, and
has kept accurate accounts of weather
conditions as he has found them in the
north. He has also taken occasion
to pick up, in his spare moments, his
torical data concerning cold weather.
This he has compiled into an article,
although not nearly all of the data he
has collected is included. The article
is as follows:
With the memory of the hard winter
of a year ago still fresh in our minds
and the reading of the thermometer
an ever ready topic at the present
time, the following historical data
may be of some interest to the read
ers of this paper.
In the year 20 A. D. there were five
months of cold weather without a
thaw in England. In the year 250 A.
D. the river Thames was frozen over
for nine weeks, and again in 291 A. D.
all the rivers in England were frozen
over for a period of six weeks. In
359 A. D. 14 days of extreme cold
froze many of the locks and firths in
Scotland.
In the year 401 the Black sea was
completely frozen over for 20 days.
In 443 there was six months of hard
winter in Germany. In 508 all of the
rivers in England were again frozen
over, this time for two months.
In the year 558 the river Danube
was frozen over from its source to its
mouth. In 678 the Black sea again
froze over, the ice being several feet
thick. As one old chronicler says, the
ice was thicker than a man’s height.
In 695 the ice on the Thames was
so strong that inns were built .on it.
In 7J7 the snow lay for three months
on the hills and plains of Asia Minor.
In the jear 821 the winter in nearly
all of Europe began on September 22
and lasted until April 12.
In 827 the British isles were visited
by nine weeks of intense cold weath
er. In 859 the ice on the Adriatic sea
was so strong that they crossed it
with horses.
In 908 all the rivers of England
were frozen over for two months, and
in 923 the Thames river was ice-bound
for 13 weeks,
In 987 the whole of northern and
middle Europe was gripped in a
ft ghtful cold spell for 120 days, be
ginning or, December 22. In the year
1035 all the grains and other crops
were frozen on the fourth of June in
Sweden.
In 1048 the Skagerak froze over and
great bands of wolves crossed over
from Norway to. Denmark. In 1063
the river Thames was again frozen
over for 13 weeks.
In the year 1068 the rivers in Ger
many were frozen so solid that Henry
the Eighth marched his armies on the
ice. In 1070 the British isles were
again visited by a severe winter, the
cold spell lasting from November to
April.
In 1294 the Skagerak was again
frdzen over ff6m "Norway to Jutland,
Denmark, many people driving across
with horses. In the winter of 1296
the same conditions prevailed in the
Baltic sea, many persons crossing
from Sweden to Russia by way of
Jutland.
In 1323 the ice was strong enough
on the Bailee sea for travelers to go
from the Danish isles to northern Ger
many. The ice was so strong that
inns were built on the ice for the ac
commodation of travelers. In 1339
many people froze to death in Eng
land.
The year 1399 saw the whole of the
North sea frozen over. Travelers cros
sed from Denmark to Tomesen on the
ice.
Again in 1407 the Baltic and the
North seas were frozen over. In
1409 the Danube was again frozen
over from its headwaters to the
mouth. In 1423 the Baltic was again
frozen over and in 1424 the whole
North sea and Baltic again froze over.
In the year 1424 the British isles
were again in the clutches of a fear
ful winter, putting a tight cover on
the Thames. The year 1464 was per
haps the most severe winter France
has ever seen. It is said that the
bread and wine froze over on the ta
ble of the Duke of Burgundy; in Paris
and other cities milk and wine was
sold in frozen chunks, and by weight
instead of by liquid measure.
In 1468 northern Germany suffered
from extremely cold weather during
the month of November. In the year
tne ice on tne river lJo in Italy
was strong enough for the papal ar
tillery to travel on. In 1555 the Zui
der Zee in Holland was completely
frozen 6ver, and safe for horses to
cross.
So far as the countries around the
Baltic sea were concerned, the winter
of 1573 must have been a record
breaker, as it is said that the Thurs
day before Whitsuntide people travel
ed from Reval to Sweden with horses
and sleds across the ice-bound sea.
In 1596 the ice on the rivers Seine
and Rhone was strong enough for all
kinds of traffic. In 1609 the city of
Marseilles, France, suffered a famine,
the harbor being frozen over and
communication consequently shut oft.
In 1621 the Adriatic sea was frozen
over.
In 1636 the Baltic sea was again
completely frozen over and communi
cation consequently shut off. In 1621
the Adriatic sea was frozen over.
In 1636 the Baltic sea was again
completely frozen over, and people
crossed it on the ice. In 1639 Mar
seilles was again ice-bound and the
population again suffered a famine,
accompanied by a great lack of fuel.
In 1658 the Swedish army under
command of Charles the Tenth cross
ed the Little Belt on the ice. In 1685
the Adriatic sea was again frozen
over.
In 1778 the ice on the Thames was
again so strong that houses could be
built on it. So far as I can find out,
history does not state if land rent was
collected for them, and if so, by
whom.
In 1812 all crops in Norway froze
from the coast to the interior, and
on the 21st of June people froze to
death.
In 1814 the Thames closed again,
the city of London being completely
enveloped in a black fog, and all
places of amusement closed.
In 1867 all grain and potatoes and
also other crops in Finland were com
pletely destroyed by a frost and a
severe famine ensued.
ANCIENT ^EGGS HIGHLY
ESTEEMED IN JAPAN
PITTSBURG, Feb. 1.—Japan has
nine million dozens of eggs ranging in
age from one to 100 years, which the
people of the United States may have
for the asking. Yoshio Ishida, Jap
anese geologist, at the William Penn
hotel, said that he regarded this in
vitation as America’s golden opportu
nity to break the corner on the egg
market.
“The older the egg the sweeter the
meat,” said Mr. Ishida. “At least that
is what the Japanese people think.
And if you Americans would only
taste our antiquated ovums you would
be converted to that belief.”
This young Japanese who holds a
string of degrees from educational in
stitutions, did not come here tb inter
est himself in the egg situation. He
came ever to explore oil fields, but the
egg question interests him more than
the work of gathering statistics and
da£p on Pennsylvania and Oklahoma
crude.
“Do I like eggs? Oh, yes, I like
eggs very much—that is, the aged
ones. But you Americans are not on
to the science of tamago preserva
tion. Tamago? Oh, excuse me! I
used the Japanese word for eggs
there. Eggs are plentiful in Japan—
they may be bought for 18 cents a
dozen. And, mind you, this is a very
low price when you consider the
great care that has been taken of
them during their preservation.”
After the movies a nice lunch at the
North Pole Bakery. 328

GOLD MINING CD
Latest Incorporated Gold Mining Com
pany to Begin Operating in the
Willow Creek District—Have
Opened Office at 457 4th.
The properties of the Arrah Wanna
Gold Mining Company consist of six
claims in the Willow Creek Mining
District, practically adjoining some of
the best paying mines in that section.
These claims contain the same charac
ter of ore and carry the same values
that the richest mines in the camp
have produced.
The location of the Arrah Wanna
properties, right in the heart of a
number of properties that are now
yielding hundreds of thousands to the
output of the Willow Creek region,
together with other natural conditions,
justifies the prediction that the prop
erties of the Arrah Wanna Gold Min
ing Company will in the near future
become one of the largest producers
of that district now conceded to be the
biggest producer of high-grade free
milling ore in Alaska at the present
time.
It is the purpose of the Arrah Wan
na Gold Mining Company to sell only
enough stock to cover the costs and to
meet the costs of contemplated devel
opment. When funds for this purpose
shall have been subscribed the stock
will absolutely be taken off the mar
ket, as it is the intention of the com
pany to take the means necessary for
further development out of the
ground.
The Arrah Wanna Gold Mining
Company is capitalized at $200,000.00
non-assessable, of which amount $40,
000.00 only will be sold for develop
ment purposes. As noted above, as
soon as sufficient money has been ac
quired for initial development work
the stock will be taken off the market,
the only exception being that the
original purchasers will be entitled to
acquire, before the expiration of 30
days after the vein has been cut, as
much more stock as they originally
may have purchased. This insures
them deriving the benefits to which
tliey are entitled, as they are the
ones who will have helped to make
the mine. The stock will be delivered
to them at the same price as original
ly sold at, regardless of what the
market value may be.
The stock to be disposed of will be
sold at 25 cents per share. For every
share of stock sold at this time an
equal amount will automatically be
placed in the treasury subject to ac
quirement by the original purchasers.
The officers of the Arrah Wanna
Gold Mining Company are as follows:
Mr. T. M. Sheehan, president; S. R.
Maclinton, Vice-President; J. P. Han
sen, Superintendent; T. S. Oliver, Sec
retary and Treasurer. Directors:
Messrs. T. S. Oliver, S. R. Maclinton,
J. P. Hansen, A. B. Cummings.
Considerable expense has been in
curred in compiling an up-to-date map
of the Willow Creek district, whieh
may be seen by anyone interested, on
request, at office of 'Arrah Wanna
Gold Mining’Co. 457 4th St.
