ALEX CAMERON TELLS OF
SOME OF THE MISPRINTS
ABOUT TERRITORY ALASKA
(By Alex Cameron)
Isn’t it high time that, for the
benefit of the rising generation
a better understanding of the
geography and the facts regard
ing the development of Alaska
and Yukon Territory should be
made known, especially when an
Alaskan writer in an Alaskan
magazine credits Alaska with the
golden cargo; the good ship
Portland brought into Seattle,
that historical day in '97 and
claims Bonanza creek to be a
tributary of the mighty Yukon
and that Alaskan gnld made Seat
tie.
As a matter of fact, there were
at that time no Bonanza camps
in Alaska. Circle, of the early
nineties, produced a little gold,
but net until the discovery of
1 tihe Nome Beach in 1899, and the
Fairbanks strike of 1903-4, did A1
aska get jnto her stride as a
gold producer.
The strike on Klondike—Da w
son City—(m the Canadian side,
boomed the coast towns, a nd
drew attention to the possibili
ties in Alaska. The Circle City
miners, the read honest to good
ness Alaskan pioneers, helped
greatly in Klondike’s develop
ment, while Dawson in turn help
ed Fairbanks to become a win
ner.
In 1904. hordes of miners left
Dawson, disgruntled, on account
of taxation and high handed of
ficials to take a chance in Fair
banks. Although little was known
of it, brawn, money, and mach
inery flowed to the new camp.
Then a business man’s greatest
problem was to change the flood
of Canadian $200 bills, for there
was very little gold dust or Am
erican money in evidence.
As to Seattle, a trickle that ev
entually became a stream of gold
poured in her coffers furnishing
the momentum that transformed
her from a town of unfinished
buildings, hacks, sawmills, logs,
lumber and tide flats, into a mod
ern city, dominant in world trade
As to Pioneers their grand -
daddies were Robert Campbell
who founded Fort Selkirk in Yu
kon Territory in the early forties
and Alexander Hunter Murray
who built Fort Yukon in 1847,
they were employees of the Hud
son’s Bay Company, or rather the
Gentlemen Adventurers of Eng
land trading in Hudson Bay.
These gentlemen believed in
the Hoover rugged individual
doctrine so the most of Camp
bell’s and Murray’s supplies con
sisted of powder and shot to kill
the game they lived on in their
long mush from Montreal to the
Yukon.
Wonder what these two North
erners would think, could they vi
sion our streamlined trains with
chefs, barbers and valets, stream-!
lined newspapers or our planes!
covering 200 miles an hour.
As people we have the haziest j
ideas of geography—During the,
recent unpleasantness, I had a j
New Yorker cancel my order forj
supplies on account of—as he said
—the government forbidding him
to ship goods to a foreign count
ry—Alaska—on account of the
war. Then a former Postmaster
General in Washington D. C., is
said to have threatened closing
the Dawson Post Office, on ac
count of not receiving reports of
the business done there.
