KNIK, ALASKA
Conditions in
Old Circle City
Gold District
(Fairbanks News-Miner).
In a letter received from Deputy
Marshal C. T. Spencer at Circle, the
marshal is informed of general condi
tions in the old camp. The letter is of
interest in that it tells of some hap
penings in the Circle district and
shows what may be expected of the
Circle of the future. The letter reads:
“During the month 65 miles of wire
was strung connecting Deadwood,
Mastodon, Independence, Mammoth
and Eagle creeks with Circle and the
outside world, by telephone and tele
graphic communication, the longest
stretch being from Circle to Eagle
creek, which, if I am not mistaken, is
the longest distance telephone com
munication in the interior of Alaska,
a distance of 58 miles.
“There was considerable activity
among the miners of the district dur
ing July, although some were handi
capped by lack of water. This was
especially so among the hydraulic
plants. But in spite of the lack of
water the season will be fairly good,
as there was considerable snow on the
hills which furnished the necessary
water up till July.
“From an optimist’s standpoint the
camp wil be better ten years from
now than it is today. With most of
the high grade placer practically
worked out, the people are turning
their attention to creeks that have
hitherto been counted as blanks. Con
sequently there have been some good
prospects shown. With the large bod
ies of low grade placer already in
sight and cheaper transportation a
possibility, Circle will be a factor in
Alaska’s gold production for many
years to come.
“During the month two cases of
drunkenness among the Indians were
reported. Some evidence of a circum
stantial nature has been obtained but
not enough to lay complaint. Howev
er, I am working on the case and hope
to get enough evidence to make a
complaint.
“The health of the community the
past month was excellent, the only
complaint being aching teeth. If as
sured a good dentist would come over
from Fairbanks to Circle, and the
creeks, he would very likely receive
the patronage of the community in
preference to the so-called ‘traveling
dentists’ that have in the past three
or four years infested the camp.”

“Water Front”
Brown Goes Out
Of Business
(P’airbanks New3-Miner).
Fairbanks is a good town. That
is now proven beyond any question
of a doubt, for R. M. Brown, some
times called “Waterfront,” tough
debt collector, is forced to go out of
business, and, as he expresses it him
self, “turn square guy.” On Octob
er 1 Mr. Brown will quit the collec
tion business, he announces, and will
take up another line. When a col
lector charges rates ranging from 25
per cent to 135 per cent and then can
not make what he considers a suita
ble income, it is proof positive that
the district is a good one.
For almost twenty years Water
front Brown has been in the tough
debt collecting business in the north
and has made a greater success of
it than could any other man. Large
or small, he never failed to tackle his
victims and get them in a corner
wheie they had to fight or pay up.
Generally, when it came to a fistic
encounter, he came out on top, but
sometimes he knew defeat.
But now it’s all over and from
now on he will be everybody’s friend i
and promises to forget all the old
matters. Mr. Brown, when making
his announcement to the News-Miner, j
said that he was not prepared at this
time to say just what he is going to
take up after October, but at that j
time he will turn back to the owners |
all uncollected bills.
Big Percentages.
During his career as a collector of j
tough debts he has received rates
ranging from 25 to 135 per cent. He
made this statement on the witness"
stand in court when he was summon
ed to testify. The court asked him
how he happened to get 135 per cent,
and he explained:
“You see it was this way, a man
in Dawson gave me a bill of a hun
dred dollars to collect. He told me to
get the money if I was forced to
thrash the man that owed it, and he
agreed to pay my fine if I did it. He
also told me that I could keep all I
could collect on it.
“I did thrash the man but got the
money. Finally he had me arrested
for assault and battery and I was
fined $35, which I paid. The man to
whom the bill was owed then made
good his word and gave me the $35,
thus I got 135 per cent for collecting
the bill.”
Mr. Brown concluded his announce
ment to the News-Miner by saying
that in his new business it will be a
“wise one that will slip anything ov
er” on him, as he intends to keep
his list with him.”
$5,000.00 MORE TOR
KENAI LAKE ROAI)
(Seward Gateway)
Anton Eide received word yesterday
from Colonel W. P. Richardson that
he is authorized to spend a further
sum of $5,000 on the Seward-Kenai
lake road and the work will be pro
ceeded with immediately. Owing to
the flattering manner in which the
colonel alluded to the road and to the
work done on it while he was here a
new appropriation had almost come to
be looked for and it is now evident
that the chairman of the road commis
sion meant what he said.
The man who tried to figure out the
rainy season most particularly adapt
ed for this section of Alaska is still in
close confinement at Morningside.
Billie Clark, of Ester creek, Fair
banks district, convicted of grand lar
ceny, and sentenced to serve five years
in the pen, is seeking to get a pardon.
