CAUSES STAMPEDE
Iditarod Pioneer.
\V. C. Mitchell arrived in the city
from Ophir on Sunday last with the
news of a strike in the Innoko dis
trict, aiid as news continued to drift
in from other sources, by Wednes
day there had developed a full
' fledged stampede to the new discov
ery Which threatened to depopulate
the entire Iditarod district of all
able-bodied men who could get away.
Probably for the first time in the
history of the city the streets are
practically free of dogs, every avail
able animal being requisitioned for
hauling supplies, and those who iiave
been agitating* for a dogless city had
a chajicfl. to so». how their ideas
would work out H put into execution.
By Wednesday morning the stam
pede lever was at its height, hut all
day Thursday, and on Friday, more
men and teams were leaving for the
scene of the new discovery. It was
I current talk that had the election for
city councilmeu, been set for a day
later there would scarcely have been
sufficient men left to hold an elec
tion.
Arrivals from Ophir reported a
similar condition in that lively little
town, but the innoko stampeders had
a start of several days over their
Iditarod brethren. By this time there
must be hundreds at the scene of the
.excitement, and by tomorrow or next
day returning numbers may give
more definite information regarding
the prospective new camp.
Origin of the Stampede.
The news that started the stam
pede was brought to Ophir on the
-night of March 29 by Andy Schwartz
>dahl, who claimed that he had found
pay on Mastodon creek, about ten
miles from its mouth. It was on a
tributary of Mastodon creek—Doob
creek—that excellent prospects re
cently were discovered which result
ed in a small stampede from Ophir.
Boob is a tributary of Mastodon,
'which is a tributary of the Tolstoi,
the latter forming a junction with
the Oitna and flowing into the In
noko a few miles above Disbakaket.
Mr. Schwartzdahl exhibited gold
which-he had panned from his claim,
iwhiclr was flat and heavy and had
run through throe feet of gravel. His
pannings had shown results of any
where from 10 to 50 cents. This
was on shallow bench ground, av
eraging about ten feet in depth. The
creek bed is said to. be wet ground,
and- there has been little or no pros
pecting there.
More Hood Vows.
The news of the. find spread rap
idly in Ophir, and by the morning of
the 30th the male population was no
ticeable for its absence. Most of the
male residents were "on their way,”
and dog teams were at a premium.
To add to the existing excitement,
what was deemed to be reliable news
came that Greer & McNulty, on Boob
creek, the scene of the recent stam
pede, had struck pay. Reports were
that they had three feet of gravel
that panned anywhere from t> to 35
cents. The dirt seemed to be getting
better as they proceeded with their
drift. There were already about
twenty men oil that creek, with three
small boilers. The ground was said
to be all frozen, and there was a
depth of 35 feet to bedrock.
Latest Reports.
Mastodon creek is about thirty
1 miles from Ophir by the trail and
about sixty-two miles from Iditarod.
The creek is said to be about fifteen
| to twenty miles in length. Reports
difTer. It is said that small gasoline
cra't can get within four or five
miles of the new strike. The dis
tance from iditarod by water, how
ever, is several hundred miles.
Besides Mastodon and Boob creeks,
which have been the Mecca of the
stampeders, Hurst croek, which is
likewise a tributary of Mastodon,
has been staked for a considerable
distance.
The reports are to the effect that
the two places In which the pay has
been struck are four or five miles
apart. There has been no develop
ment work, and, of course, no pay
streak has been lined up.
Sture Stenberg, who has been
spending the winter on the outside,
returned on Wednesday last. He
heard the reports of the strike while
at Ophir, and joined the stampede.
He and his partner, Sid Norris,
staked on Hurst creek. Sture con
firmed the report that good pay had
been found, as stated above. On
Boob creek, he said, there was little
gravel, running from a few inches to
three feet. He says the general im
oression is that the find is a most
promising one.
Billy Richardson, a well-known
old-timer, also on his way to Iditarod
from the outside, arrived here Thurs
day, after having visited the new
diggings and staked on Hurst creek.
Ho also was well impressed with the
outlook on Mastodon.
The district in which the new find
was made has for years been consid
ered a promising district by pros
pecotrs, and men who know the
country believe that there is every
probability of a rich mining country
being opened up.
