HISTORY OF
TELLER IS A
COLORFUL EPIC
(Continued From Pei* One)
* number of them were working
In Grantley Harbor when, in 1900,
Bennan Ring made a strike on
<told Run Creek, a tributary of
the Bluestone River. It proved
to be a bonanza, and a stampede
from Nome followed at onee. As
' the new town grew up, the name
of Libbysville was discarded and
the title of Teller adopted, in hon
or of Senator Teller of Colorado.
Nuggets taken from Ring's
claim ran as high as $500, and
Ring soon had a comforable for
tune. The whole surrounding
country was staked and restaked,*
and for a time intense excitement
ruled, with many believing that
Teller would surpass Nome as a
permanent mining camp. ,
By the fall of 1900 the popula
tion is estimated to have exceeded
1500. Dance halls, churches, sto
res and homes were built and
crowded, and a newspaper estab

Many Lawsuits
With the mad staking of claims
that was going on, fights of al]
kinds developed, and court litiga
tion soon became one of the prin
cipal activities of Teller. It is
estimated that several hundred
thousand dollars were spent in
lawsuits over conflicting claims.
The miners were not doing sc
well, however, as few of the
creeks outside of Gold Run show
ed any great values, and inside
of a year mo3t of the prospectors
returned to Nome.
Today Teller still has a popula
tion of about 200 and is an im
portant trading post for the Pori
Clarence District. Quite a num
ber of the original stampers have
stayed through the years and
Teller continues to this day with
steady gold production in the
Gold Run country.
Old Timers
Among the old timers who went
to Teller about 1900 and are still
there, are the Tweet family, Chas.
Miller, Mrs. Ethel Marks, Mrs.

Nome by Plane
A radio message late yesterday
afternoon over the radio tele
phone from Taylor to M. J. Walsh
from James J. Keenan, requested
that an airplane be sent immedi
ately to bring a man with a cru
shed hand to the hospital at
Nome.
Pil't Chet Brown flying for the
Northern Air Transport was con
tacted at once and he took o T
for Taylor in the face of decided
ly adverse flying weather. A
A message was sent to Taylor
that the plane was enroute, but
about forty-five minutes later, af
ter Pilot Brown had exhausted
every effort to get through the
rain and fog, a second message
had to be sent to Taylor that the
plane could not get through, and
would try as soon as the weather
cleared sufficiently.
Pilot Brown hopped off this
morning for Taylor about 9 A.M.
and returned with Mark Craddick
who was immediately placed in
Thomas Peterson, Ilenry Muller
and Percy Blatchford. Tom Ash
by, now in Juneau, mined on Gold
Run in 1900 and 1901 and took
out a fair sized poke for his trou
ble.
Gold Run is about 20 miles
from the town of Teller, but back
in the days of excitement it cost
20 cents a pound to haul freight
that distance. Thirty miles to
the northwest of Teller is Tin
City, noted for its production of
placer tin. With large tin nug- j
gets running about 75 per cent j
pure, tin mining has been carried
on successfully in this district for
30 years, records showing a pro
1 duction of $500,000 to date, as well
at tome gold. Dredges as well as
sluice boxes are used in tin min
ing there, and due to the present
good world demand for tin, sev
eral new outfits are prospecting in
the district, hopeful of striking
larger deposits than those now
worked.

Reservations On
Vic Are Over
Subscribed Now
Alaska Line agent at Nome Joe
Hurnish reports that reservations
for the last sailing south from
Nome aboard the S. S. Victoria
have already been over-subscrib
ed and that there is a waiting list
of from 20 to 25 persons, mostly
women and children.
This is quite unusual at this
season of the year, although the
last Vic is always crowded when
it leaves Nome for Seattle on its
Anal south bound voyage of the
season. Mr. Harnish declared
that there are still numerous res
ervation available aboard the S.S.
Mount McKinley, which is taking
the place of the Victoria on the
September sailing.

him about geography and phy
sics, but once let him drift into
the realm of finance, taxation,
spiritualism, etc., he knows a lot.
