MUSHERS LEAVE FOR NENANA
Victor Jacobson, better kn awn jis
"Scurvey I^ld,” and Ole Jacobson, de
parted for the Yukon section Thurs
day morning enroute to Nenana, the
terminal of the government railroad on
A distinguishing feature of the ex
pedition was the use of a form of trail
device new t«> this sqeton, although
said to be in common use on the upper
Yukon. It consists of a small tobog
gan hitched between the dig team and
•i sled of the ordinary type. One
man stands on the toboggan, directs
the dogs and also guides the second
sled by means of a gee i*ole. Owing
to its small size, the toboggan is easily
handled and series as a most effective
guide to the larger sled. Also it saves
a lot of the hard work of walking as
sociated with the use of the gee pole,
especially where the snow is soft.
According to Scurvey's partner, who
has had experience with’ the device,
says the toboggan system is an im
mense improvement and enables the
driver to maintan far better control
over his baggage sled than is possible
by the handle bar method of control.
Sloping trails and hillside traveling
hold no difficulties when the tobortgfci
scheme is used he said, and much of
the difficulties of soft snow are over
come ns the toboggan is always
smoothing the tr il for the load on the
large sled behind. _ « • *
BIG STRIKE MADE
ON STEWART RIVER
A quartz strike of considerable
magnitude has been made in the Ste
wart River section and is attracting
great interest in Dawson and along
the Upper Yukon, with every pros
pect of a big stampede developing in
the Spring, according to a letter from
Jas. A. York, a former Nome resi
dent. received an the first winter mail
by A1 Nicholson, proprietor of the
Board of Trade. *
A camp, known as Mayo, has been
established and claims are already held
at figures running into the hundreds
of thousands. The Guggenheim's
have already secured large interests
and arc contemplating spending a
half million in development work on
claims recently purchased. The Tread
well Company and other big concerns
are also said to be seeking options.
York assorts the ores are icxceptionally
rich and it is believed at Dawson that
the new camp will have a population
of twenty thousand within twelve
months. He says:
“Everyibody here is delighted with
th prospects at Mayo, the new c.imp
on the Stewart River, and all are pre
paring' to go there in the Spring or
before. The Yukon Gold Co* (the
Guggenheim’s) have recently bnugnt
five claims for $650,000 and expect to
expend $500,000 during the coming
winter in improvement and 1- elop.
ment work.
“The Treadweel people and other
companies also have agents in the
field trying to obtain options. An op
tion was given two days ago for
$325,000 upon two recently discovered
ledger. The district is a very iorge
one and the -ores are exceptionally
rich. It Is believed that within twelve
months Mayo will have a population
of twenty thousand.
“Mr Frank Short, whom T met in
Nome five yoaVs ago and who was
formerly of the Broken Hill Mines
Company of Australia, is the superin
tendent bf the Yukon Gold Co at
Mayo and he believes that «he future
of the camp is better than was that
of Cobalt, Ontario.”
York adds that he met many old
timers in Fairbanks, Including Bill
McPhee. Charlie Beam and Charles
Thompson.
"Prohibition is supposed to exist In
Yukon Territory,”\he says, “but Daw
son sta nds ready *to prove that a
launching can be made in a dry dock.
Upon proper application one can have
ten gallons for medical purposes and
I assume that the town is expectinn
an epidemic.”
