History of Nome Mining
Claim Is Subject of Book
According to Leland Carlson,
professor of history at North
western University, North Park
College owes its founding to a
single mining claim staked in
1898 at Nome and known as the
No. 9 above Discovery claim.
t
Leland Carlson, in writing the
history of the college which be
longs to the Evangelical Mission
Covenant Church, thought he
would devote one chapter to No.
9 above Discovery. Instead, he
ended up with a full-size book
full of fascinating facts of the
great stampede to Seward Pen
insula.
Carlson’s book, “An Alaskan
Gold Mine—The story of No. 9
FIRE ABOARD MS TULA
The lire reported on the MS.
Tula early Saturday morning was
quickly put out by the Nome Fire
Department. The Tula, owned by
the B & R Lighterage Co., was
damaged earlier in the season and
the company plans to tow it to
the States for repairs. The MS.
Finch, according to Jack Bullock,
will probably tow the Tula as far
as Dutch Harbor.
above,” is strictly factual, and it
tells of the law suits involved
over this claim which were not
settled until 1921. However, it is
easy reading and will be of spec
ial interest to those who live in
this area. No. 9 claim, according
to facts revealed in the book, pro
duced $335,000 before 1902.

California Couple,
On Dream Vacation,
Like Nome Best
Mr. and Mrs. James D. Porter
of Santa Rosa, California, are
taking the kind of vacation most
.1
people just dream about.
Semi-retired, they left their
California home just to travel
where they want to go in their
specially built trailor, which ac
cording to Mr. Porter, has every
thing, including built-in tanks for
hot and cold water, a small boat,
and all the conveniences of a city
home.
Enroute to Nome, which they
have always wanted to visit, they
stopped at Kerry Lake in the
Crooked River country, which is
on the Hart Highway in Canada.
They found a place they liked so
well that they bought 16,000
acres in one place and 40 acres
in another place where they plan
to put up a lodge and spend part
of every year.
Although the Porters could not
come all the way to Nome in their
car, they are visiting as much of
the territory as they can by air
and bus.
Of all the places they have been
in Alaska, they state that they
like Nome the best because of its
sincere friendliness. “Some of the
bigger places in Alaska,” Mr.
Porter stated, “are reaching the
stage of development where they
haven’t time to even be courteous
to visitors.”
By the end of 1951 the Por
ters will have visited in all the
48 states.
