BEATS BACK AT KATE
AND STRIKES IT RICH
“Frank Waskey strikes it rich at
Marshall City, near Holy Cross Mis
sion. Ground six dollars to the
square foot. Will take out big for
tune this summer. Already has sev
eral thousand buckets of pay grave'
on the surface,” says .1. J. 1'nder
wood in the Seattle Times of Apr;’
26th.
Such is the brief news dispatch re.
ceived here from Fairbanks today
that epitomizes a romance of gob
hunitng in the far north; the stor’
of a man’s determination to retries
! from the wilderness the fortune b
sacrificed in behalf of the territory
a talk of patient toil and ab din
faith and fortitude manifest in th
face of almost unbelievable hard
ship and suffering.
Frank II. Waskey was Alaska’;
first delegate to congress. He ha
made a fortune at Nome, and e
pended more than ^150,000 Ju fou:
j months at the national capital in a;
effort to induce congress to pass r
bill granting territorial governmen
to Alaska. He went to Nome i:
1900 and by 1S0C had acquired f
considerable fortune. At the time
Waskey left Nome for Washington
he had q number of claims on the
celebrated third beac’n iine—the
richest deposit of placer ground
ever found in the entire north.
Congress, on tnreat of a move
ment to secede to Canada, received
from indignant citizens of South
western Alaska, had hurriedly rec
ognized that “taxation without rep
resentation” was against the best
principles of Americanism and had
passed a law granting Alaska a dele
ga'e to congress. Alaska then, as
now, was a mining country, and it
chose two miners to represent it—
Frank H. Waskey for the short tern*
anil Tom Cale, a Fairbanks pros
pector, for the long term.. Both
were democrats.
Waskey was an ardent believer ir
territorial government, and to ob
tain the passage of a territorial bill
he spent money freely, but unsuc;,
eessfully. The bill was introduced
but died in the committee. The de!
egate returned to the north to fine'
nis beach line claims tied up in liti
gation, some of which has not ye:
been settled. The lawyers grew
rich, but Waskey had to take a roe
in the rubber band around his banl
roll.
With about $200,000 he began r
tunnel on Iron creek. He had al
ready expended an immense sum ir
buying up the claims on the creek
Just as he began to wash tae grave’
through a ground sluice on the bot
tom of the tunnel the roof collapsed
It was impossible to repair it.
Broken in fortune, Waskey disap
peared into the wilderness and wa:
not heard of until four years later
when he reached Good News Bay
near the mouth of the Kuskokwin:
river, where a gold strike of poor
quality was made. Waskey deter
mined to install a plant to work the
ground on a large scale, and w as re
turning from Nome in a schooner
with the equipment when the vessel
capsized in a storm. For three days
and three n:ghts Waskey and some
of his companions clung to the over
turned vessel and finally they were
washed ashore on a big tide fiat.
They began to walk towards tin
beach, and soon discovered they
were on an island that would be
submerged again at high tide. With
the uncertainty of being drowned*in
they remained they began to wade a
two-mile strip of water that separ
ated them from the mainland and
fortunately found that it was no
deeper than their waists.
Famished and half frozen, and al
most perishing for water, the- four
survivors of the wreck struggled
along the beach and at last found
an abandoned native hut. All of
the water they had found up to that
time was salty. Waskey figured
that the native must have had a
quantity of fresh water or he Would
not have built his home there. In
the woods back of the nut they
found a Spring.
For nearly two months they lived
by gathering clams and sea food on
they beach. There was two feet of
anJw on the ground when they w’ere
rescued and all of them wore se
verely frostbitten. They were taken
to St. Michael for treatment, and as
soon as ho was well Waskey disap- I
poared into the wilderness again.
He was next heard of from a
creek near Andreafsky, where he
had discovered another paystreak.
Being a democrat, he named the
place Marshall City in honor of
Thomas Marshall, vice-president of
the United States, and it is here
that he lias found his reward.
Waskey. is known from Ketchikan
to Point Barrow, and has a host of
friends in the north who will re
joice to hear that he has again come
into his own.
