NEWS ITEMS FROM VARIOUS
SECTIONS 2ND, DIVISION
A representative of this paper i
interviewed Mr. John A. Wilson, the
Territorial Divisional Road Com
missioner, tor the Second Division,
and gleaned the following interest
ing news items from him, concern
ing his recent tour of inspection.
Mr. Wilson said:
“Percy Blatchford and myself left
Nome March 16 and returned April
7, during which time we traveled
about 500 miles through the Penin
sula and visited the camps of Dime,
Candle, Deering and Council. With
a good dogteam, glorious weather
most of the time and a hospitable
welcome wherever we went, the
journey was much in the nature of
a pleasure trip. The roadhouses
down the coast have excellent ac
comodations for man and beast, and
it was only necessary for us to make
camp for two nights during the trip.
At Safety Chas. Dahlquist has a
commodious roadhouse in the former
wireless station; at Solomon Mrs.
Ginnivan with her two daughters
runs the Dickson Hotel, where the
big and delicious eats are always
in order; at Bluff Chas. Meegan and
wife run the roadhouse, besides be
ing interested in the quartz mine
which is a real producer; at Chimk
Mrs. Mollie Dexter is at the old
stand; Odatuk, a native, keeps the
roadhouse at tho Mission, and an
other native, Nashuk, keeps the road
house at Isaacs. At the mouth of
the river, the Bonanza King, Aug
ust Nelson, well known to all old
| timers, has taken over the place
j formerly run by Swanson and is
always out with glad hand and
the long talk, being well versed in
Eskimo, Swedish and English. The
Landing boasts of two roadhouses,
one run by J. B. Ross and wife and
the other run by Swanson.
“There are besides on this route
two Territorial Shelter Cabins, where
one can put up in case of necessity.
One is Rated at Wjalla Walla, 13
miles East of Chinik, and one at
Mooes, 11 miles East of Elim Mis
sion.
“Our toboggan sled with its fancy
basket and bicycle wheel attached
behind attracted quite a lot of notice
from the Eskimos, some of whom
opined that the wheel was for the
purpose of steering the sled. Un
fortunately the wheel went out of
commission at Isaacs and all the
distances could not be measured.
The distances are as follows from
Nome to Dime, and on to Candle:

“The distances between Dime and
Candle was measured by Aimer Ry
deen of Candle, being 62.1 miles.
“With the cxcepton of Dime, all
the camps visited, are very quiet
this wnter. Dime, however, is a
real old time mining camp with
a population of about 200, about
half of whom are working for wages
at the present time. Dime is the
most promising mining camp at
present in the Second Division and
undoubtedly has a bright future
ahead of it, in spite of being handi
capped by the high cost and scarcity
of fuel and grub. The excellent pay
recently discovered by Chas. Murray
on the fourth tier of benches op
posite No. 2 Below, indicates a con
tinuation of the paystreak along
the benches southward, and will, if
picked up across Goose Creek, ex
tend the life of Dime for years to
come. Prospecting, however, is be
ing retarded by the high cost of
provisions and the difficulty of get
ting wood hauled. Nearly every
body In Dime was out cutting wood
in the early part of the winter and
hundreds of cords are piled up in
the woods, but it seems there is not
enough horses to haul it to the
camps. The camps operating have
only a few days wood on hand at
any time. Some monster dumps are
being piled up notwithstamlng, and
nearly everyone seems optimistic
as to the future. Six self-dumper3
are running full blast, besides sev
eral smaller outfits. Chas. Murray,
who made the important discovery
mentioned above, has cross-cut the
paystreak for 140 feet and the grab
samples run from 7 to 10 cents with
a. paystreak three feet thick. The
pay is showng up well, but is some
what spotted like piost Dime creek
ground. Next him on No.l Below,
Nas«, Glasscer,Hager and Modini are
operating a self-dumper and have
out about 2,500 cars. On the claim
adjoining No.l, Porter and Valentine
have fifteen men employed and have
out a dump of 13,000 cars. Lars
Gunderson has six men employed on
the claim adjoining and has a fair
sized dump. He is preparing for ex
tensive work next summer. Nass,
et al., Porter and partners and Gun
derson are using self-dumpers and
are located on the left limit benches,
as is Murray.
"On No.2 Above Leonard and Jep
son are taking out good pay. On
No.4 Above, Tice, Nordberg and Nel
son have out about 7,500 cars of
paydirt. They are using a self-dump
er and are employing 10 men. Den
nis Murray and Jean Dougherty,
after extracting a good-sized dump
on Nol 5 Above, with a wndlass,
have quit, and are going prospect
ing farther gown the creek. On No.
6 Porter and Valentine have out
the largest dump on the creek,
13,500 50-pan cars. They are in
excellent pay and have seventeen
men working. A self-dumper is
used to pile up the dirt. Scotty
Black and John Olson on No. 7. i
have out a dump of about 6,00u ;
cars, and are working about ten
men. Several smaller outfits are
at work, and all in all Dime has a
bustling appearance that reminds one
of Nome in early days. Dome creek
between the Landing and the mouth
of the river, did not turn out as
expected and has practically been
deserted.
“The work of hauling the poles
from Peace river for the corduroy
road is proqrescing rapidly and will
be completed by May 1. The con
tractor, Tom Evans, is delivering
the poles and other material strictly
up to specifications and distributing
them along the roadway in fine
shape. Six horses are used in haul
ing the poles and three more were
sent from Candle by John Herbert,
who has a sub-contract for the
hauling.
“Quite a few additional buildings
have been erected on the town site
since last summer, and on the whole
the town presents a very creditable
appearance. A hall some 40 x 2G
feet has been put up that would be
a credit to any town. Hanson’s
roadhouse has been enlarged by the
addition of a kitchen and sleeping
quarters. Commissioner Sethman
has a new and commodious office
building. A school building has
been commenced, but will not be
ready for occupancy till next fall.
“There are two stores, two road
houses, a moving picture show, two
bathhouses and a barber shop.
There is no doctor in camp, but
Mrs. Lars Gunderson, a trained nurse
of exceptional ability, treats the min
or ills and injuries of the miners,
and is held in great esteem by them.
“A person feels more at home in
Dime than most anywhere else, for
nearly everyone there is an old timer
from Nome. There is also a spring
ing of men from Marshall and up
river points, and of an evening the
roadhouse is crowded with men
playing pool or cards or swapping j
yarns reminiscent of olden days. I
One meets many members and for-1
mer members of the Nome Miners
Union, and no matter where you |
meet one, throughout the country, i
you have a friend who will go any
length to assist you if necessary.
The eight-hour day is strictly observ
ed and the scale paid is $4.00 per
day in the winter. While there are
not many idle men in the camp at
present, the camps are just about i
full handed and it would not be wise
for anyone to go down expecting to
get work at once.
"The fair sex is rather scarce,
there being but six married white
women and a lone single girl who
has all the bachelors on the creek
to pick from as suitors. However,
including the native women there
are enough to have a rousing good
time at dances or parties which are
of frequent occurence. The moving
picture show, owned by Porter and
Dimmick, shows twice weekly, on j
Wednesdays and Sundays, and it is j
a marked success. There is a full,
house at each performance, although
admission is a dollar per. As a
proof that the Dimeites are strictly
up to date, a Kennel Club was form
ed on March 25th, with nearly every
body on the creek and at the Land
ing enruflled as members,, and a
Ladies’ dog race rom the Creek
to the Landing and Wlt> a distance
of 13 miles, was sclfi|duled to take
place on April 3. The ladies were
out making trial runs every day
and as much interest was taken in
the coming race as of the Sweep
stakes. There is some talk of try
ing to get the Sweepstakes race run
to Dime creek next year. An effort
will be made to get a government
wireless station established in the
camp, to which Dime is surely en
titled. Next winter all mail for
Dime, Candle, the Kobuk and points
to the northward will be sent direct
from Unalakleet by way of Dime.
The route is an ideal one, since there
is only two low divides between the
coast and Candle, and these northern
points will get their mail as quickly i
as Nome. We were shown the
greatest hospitality while in Dime,
and our only regret was that we
could not stay indefinately. We
had invitations to visit every camp
on the creek, and availed ourselves
of the opportunity to partake of the j
good eats provided by tho famous
chefs of Dime. There seem to be j
no lack of food in tho camps, al->
though the stores are running short
on several staples. Eight or ten:
native teams are engaged hauling
supplies from Candle and Deering
to Dime, adding from 4 to 7 cents
extra for every pound laid down at1
Dime.
“We left Dime, March 27, and!
made the run to Candle, 62 miles,
in 9!fe hours. This trail is an ideal
one, and after going over the low
divide from Sweepstakes to thej
Kiwalik, it is down grade and level
the whole way. Tom Thompson,
who had a contract for stacking the
tra.il for the Divisional Road Com
mission from Dime to Snyder’s, 43
miles, where it connects with the
trail from Council to Candle, made
an excellent job of it. From Dime
the trail goes over to Peace river,
up Moon creek, down Sweepstakes
and over the divide to the head
of the Kiwalik river, and then down
the Kiwalik valley. It is a regular
boulevard, and one constantly meets
dog teams freighting or traveling be
tween Dime and Candle. The Ter
ritorial Shelter Cabin erected on
Quartz creek, 34 miles from Dime,
is in constant use by mushers. It
is warm and comfortable and the
fire is hardly ever out. When we
stopped there for lunch, no less
than four teams were there ahead
of us.
i
“Candle is very quiet thi3 winter]
and but little prospecting is going \
on up the creek. There are about|
125 people in Candle and the country,
adjacent to it. Candle has two
stores, one hotel and one restaurant
running, a hospital, a moving picture
show and two candidates for politic
al honors. Deering is also quiet,
but most of the old timers are up
the river prospecting or mining.
Tracy Swanson and Dick Hammond
have found some pay which is just
a wages proposition. The Cordovado
outfit is working with about six men
and by the way, is observing the
8-liour law, although they are only
paying $3.00 per day.
“Coming back to Candle, we took
tho Candle-Council trail and were
three days making Council There
is very little travel over this route
any more, and it was a case of
breaking trail ana snow-shoeing part
of tho way from Snyders to Boston
cabin, where wTe met the mail team
from Council. The weather was
glorious, however, and even the
famed Death Valley lay bathed in
sunshine as we crossed it. There
are no people at ar.y of the cabins
on this route, and a person has to
take along enough grub for the trip.
There are cabins as Snyder’s, First
Chance, Haven Telephone and Bos
ton.
“After staying a day and meeting
the people of Council, we made the
j an io Nome two drives, stopi'inr
at Solomon over night. At timber,
on the Klokerblok river, wo inspecte*1
tho Shelter Cabin built by Duffy
O’Conner for tho Divisional Road
Commission. The cabin, built of
logs, is put up in a splendid manner
and i3 about es comfortable a cabin
as cne would run across in many a
day’s travel and does the builder
credit.
