The Pioneer Women’ Auxiliary
Igloo No. 1, have started a pro- \
gram outlined for the purpose of j
marking all important and histor
ical points of Nome and the sur
rounding sections .
Their purpose is to retain the
memories and history of the days
of the hlg gold rush Into Nome
in 1900 . Such a program will
require considerable effort on the
part of the Pioneer Women. It i
will he necessary for one thing to
trace back throngh old flies and
records, now more than thirty
years old, In order to locate some
of the places which bear a story, j
hard to believe ■ In this day and t
age.
Such an undertaking is deserv
ing of great credit. Years ago
some localities of this section j
were never ever seen by man, to
day airplane! fly across these
trackless wastes dally and weekly.
Men like Tex Richard, Rex Beach
and a host of others whose names
are now on history, used to live
in Nome, walk Hit' same streets,
and .in many casds Uu cabins they
lived in are- even now standing
as dim reminders of the days of |
the big stampedes .
Places right here in Nome can
still he remembered by old timers
as famous sites; maybe where a
celebrated saloon once flourished,
where the hanging of the “Kid at
the Piano” issued forth from the
doors; where the click of the
gambling tables around wiiich were
crowded the miners after their
cleanups. All such memories are
fond to those who lived and work
ed in this camp in the early days.
Mrs. Thos. A. Ross, has been
placed at the head of a committee
to ptc/k out these spots and ar
range for some system of mark
ing which will preserve their his
tory. Mrs. Ross was in Nome as
ah early pioneer. She knows the
people who were here in the early j
days; those who are now dead and
nearly forgotten, and those who
are stiil at Nome, or even many
who .are now living at the PloneeTH
Home in Sitka. All suggestions
for investigations and markings of
interesting points, •*lt is suggested
should communicate with- her re
garding them.
