Yukon Pioneers
Recall Old Days
of the Interior
(Seattle P.-I.)
“We panned out some of the earth
that lay on bed rock—my two tom
pannios and I—getting a .45 cart
ridge shell full of gold dust and then
we crossed the creek and made a
rude camp for the night. That night
I dreamed of home.” This was a par
agraph from the address made by G.
W. Carmack, the discoverer of the
Klondike, at the fourth annual ban
quet of the Yukon Order of Pioneers
last night at the Savoy, the occasion
marying the twentieth anniversary of
Carmack’s discovery of gold on Bo
nanza creek.
• Thirty-one members of the organi
zation, all men who took part in the
first stampedes into the newly discov
ered land of gold, sat down at the
banquet last night and long before
the regular speech-making started
reminiscences and tales of hardships,
the fun, the gain and the losses of 20
years ago, traveled from one table to
Jinothpv finrl hrtr-lr u-irrin
Addressed by Nicknames.
"Stampede Pete,” “Six-Inch Jim,”
"Sourdough Bill,” “Milkman Gould,”
and many other nicknames bestowed
by the adventurers of the north on
comrades, the cognomens commemor
ating incidents in their careers, were
heard in the buzz of talk, interspersed
with queries as to what had become
of Jack or Tom or Harry and how So
and So was making out with his
quartz prospect on the Stewart river.
The banquet was presided over by
M. D. Pence, now a sedate member of
the Seattle police department. John
F. Miller, former mayor of Seattle,
was called on to act as toastmaster,
and after a short adless pointing out
the meaning of the gathering declared
that it would have to turn into a reg
ular “experience meeting.” Every
man called upon being ordered to re
late his experiences in the north
country.
Kccalled Old Times.
All of them dwelt in kindly fash
ion on the fortune that had been
theirs, gnarled hands and weather
scarred faces, famine, mushes and per
ils by land and water having taken on
a roseate hue through the mists of 20
years with nothing remaining clear
cut and definite but the joys and suc
cesses, and the mirth and jollity of
the winter nights when the aurora
borealis danced in the sky.
Among the speakers of the even
ing and their year were: M. D. Pence,
’98; J. F. Miller, ’97; G. W. Carmack,

Fairbanks Man
Leading Witness
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
Word was received in Fairbanks to
day that Peter Vidovich, the well
known Fairbanks financier, was one
of the principal witnesses in the San
Francisco bomb outrage, in which sev
eral people lost their lives last month.
This news was conveyed in a letter to
Frank Hall, written by Eddie Wilson,
formerly a resident of Fairbanks.
Mr. Vidovich was the man who was
mentioned in the press as having seen
the bomb placed on the sidewalk.
The same letter states that Harry
Turnbull was the man whose skull
was blown to the top of a high build
ing nearby. That is, part of his skull
was blown that far, together with a
small piece of his hat. In the press
wires received by the News-Miner at
the time of the outrage, it was stated
that part of a skull had been found
some distance away on top of a roof,
but it did not give the name of the
injured man.

Makes Report
_ o
i!
(Juneau Emp're).
Sumner S. Smith, federal mining
inspector, has returned from the lj
westward on his annual inspection t
trip and will remain here for a week, «
will then leave for Ketchikan to ex- j
amine the mines in that section.
While touring the westward section H
during this trip, just ended, Mr. •
Smith visited the Cache, Willow f
creek sections and the entire Kenai j
Peninsula district. He reports a t
gratifying increase in the number of 1
properties being worked dnd equip- I
| ment and production of properties. (
The Cache creek district is being J
worked on a good scale. Thirty-five ;
outfits are working and about 150 J
men are employed, not counting the •
m - nu. vjui m. vi uuiu
Dredging company. That large dredge i
is being operated and is doing well.
On Willow creek several outfits are |
working. The Willow Mines company, E
operating the Gold Bullion property, ’
is adding five more stamps to their =
mill; the Independence Gold Mines “
company is adding a Denver mill to |
their equipment which will give an i
added production of f om 25 to 30 =
tons daily. The Mable Milling, Min- f
ing & Power company is installing a l
15-ton Denver mill and is also build- s
ing 3,500 feet of new tramway.
Many Companies Operating.
The Alaska Crowe Creek Mining t
company, operating placer ground on ^
Crowe creek, installed a bed rock1."
flume and is now handling a greatly i
increased output of gravel. At Hope s
the Matheson Mining company, the ^
St .Louis Mining and Trading com- S
pany, Pearson Brothers and Dr. Con- |
ant are all operating crews on lies- |
urrection creek, and John Hirshey is jp
operating a one-stamp mill on Hal- i
mer creek, which is a tributary of I
Resurrection creek.
The Alaska Securieies Corporation
is operating a plant on Lynch creek
and another on Canyon creek. Ron
an & James are installing an arras
tra on property bonded by them in
the Moose Pass section and several
other smaller outfits are working in
that section.
Tolovana Output Light.
The report of Territorial Mining
Inspector William T. Maoney, for the
month of July has been received at
the governor’s office and indicates
that the output from the Toloana and
Hot Springs section will be material
jly curtailed this summer on account
: of the water shortage.
Mr. Maloney reports that when he
was traveling through these sections
in July, in many places the winter
dumps were only partially worked
over and the summer dumps were
l growing at a rapid rate. He reports
that no rain had fallen for some time
and many of the operators will be un
able to meet their obligations unless
rain falls.
Mr. Maloney inspected 12 operat
ing mines in the Fairbanks section.
15 in the Tolovana, and two in the
Hot Springs section. He reports sev
en accidents, with only one fatality,
during the month of July. Albert
Bjorkland while prospecting on Mike
Hess creek was overcome by gas and
fell down a fifty-foot shaft to his
death. He reports that the greater
majority of the mines inspected by
him are being operated in a safe man
i ner.
