THE “GOOD OLD DAYS”
While there are those marking time in the hope that the
.‘good old days” will return as they were in Alaska in 1898.
it might be well to pause and do a little analysis, and see if
those days compared with the present in point of oppor
tunity.
From the Klondyke News of June, 1898, we obtained
the following Dawson, Y. T., restaurant bill of fare: _
Mush and milk $1.2:i
Dish of canned corn. $1.25
Dish of canned tomatoes. $12.)
y Stewed fruit . . $1.2.'
■ii Pie per cut.‘5
Doughnuts, pie, sandwich, with tea or coffee.$1.25
Beans, coffee and bread. $2.do
Plain steak . .... . $3.50
Porterhouse steak . $5.00
In comparison with today we find the following:
Mush and milk 25c, canned corn 15c, canned tomatoes
15c, stewed fruit, with coffee. 25c: pie and coffee 25c, dough
nuts, sandwiches, with coffee or tea, 25c; beans, coffee, but
ter, bread, potatoes, maybe corn, pudding, 65; plain steak
50c; porterhouse steak $1.00.
Computed on the basis of restaurant fare, it required
as much to supply a month's grub stake as would carry a
man for an entire season in these days.
In comparison with freight rates by steamship or rail
road, it would, under the old conditions, cost from $1 to $2
per pound to ship supplies from Seward to Fairbanks, and
as late as 1920 it cost $250 per passenger to travel the same
distance by dogteams with meals $1.50 each, and more, and
a pole bunk with straw to sleep on.
Now to get down to the final question: Since the Daw
son days—when gals were gals—and including the cleanups
of that time there was but a little over $300,000,000 taken
out. Official surveys show that the known placers contain
approximately $700,000,000, not counting regions where
gold is known to exist, but where there has been desultory
prospecting. And this applies to placer alone !
It is impossible to even approximate the value of the
gold in the lodes of Alaska, but where it ic considered that
there are gold mines which have produced millions in divi
dends, one may gain some idea of the immense wealth await
ing extraction by the miner.
Ah, those “good old days."—Seward Gateway.

Mighty Empire of
Prosperity To Be
Alaska In Future
(Continued From Page One)
the Chandalar outlook and with a
force of men now engaged in the
work and the finishing touches being
put to the installation of a mill, he
looks to the future with confidence.
The price of gold, he said, will
not go down, if at all, for many
years and with presidential author
ity to further devaluate the dollar
to 50 cents he can see the price go
ing up to $43.46 an ounce!
But rather, he believes, that the
. nations of the world will confer
upon a plan to stabilize the dollar,
making universal free coinage of
gold and silver,with gold at $35 and
silver at $1 an ounce.
That influence, he feels, will go
a long way toward bringing return
of world prosperity, lifting the na
tions of the world out of the finan
eial doldrums under which they are
now laboring.
Approves Colony
Success in full measure for the
Matanuska colony was his unquali
fied view, and there is not the least
doubt in his mind but that similar
plans will be carried out, speaking
particularly of the Kenai peninsula
with emphasis upon the Homer dis
trict.
In the short time that he surveyed
the Matanuska settlement he could
see the government working in har
mony with the colonists with appar
ent satisfaction and progress on all
sides. Things were on a business
going basis and anything like fail
ure is out of the question.
The market is here in Alaska, he
said, and will expand with the
year. Into Fairbanks alone there
was shipped last year from the Out
side vegetable produce to the value
of $128,000. That item is one of many
that should be filled by Alaska farm
ers.
