STAMPEDE ON TO
TOLSTOI STRIKE
A number of people now in
Anchorage figure on going to the
new placer strike at Tolstoi, in the
Innoko district. There is now
a stampede on from Yukon river
points to that section. Marshall
City, Iditarod, Andreafsky and
Dishkaket, on the Yukon side
and Georgetown, McGrath. Bear
and other camps in the Kusko
kwim valley are becoming de
populated.
The general value of the ground
so far uncovered is about $2.50
to the square foot of bedrock.
Every stampeder that returned
to Iditarod considered the strike
would make a new big camp.
One man said he didn't think
much of it. He is the manager
of a dredge. Despite his pessi
mistic opinion every one of the
engineers, winchmen and labor
ers quit, and left for the new
diggings as soon as they could
get dog teams together.
Dave Strandberg, of Iditarod,
and Jimmy Pitcher, who discov
ered Nugget Gulch at Nome, are
among the lucky ones. Pitcher
has two claims on Boob creek,
and has found pay on both. He
is operating from two shafts.
Louis Yegalis, former owner
of the Alaska theater, in Seattle,
rushed from Iditarod for the
scene of the strike. He was fol
lowed by Earl Hunt, Earl Byers,
Jimmy Riley and a hundred other
old timers gathered from all
points on the Yukon. It is be
lieved that nearly 2000 men have
started from different points.and
dogs have risen in price nearly
200 per cent. Somecf the lower
Yukon camps have been depleted
of dogs of every description.
A townsite has been laid out at
the mouth of Boob creek. The
distance by water from Iditarod
to Cooper, the new town, is sev
eral hundred miles, but the dig
gings can be reached by dog
team traveling cross-country in a
sixty-mile journey.
