BEATS BACK AT FATE
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 Bummer. Already has sev
eral thousand buckets of pay gravel
on the surface,” says J. J. Under
wood in the Seattle Times of April
26th.
Such is the brief news dispatch re
ceived here from Fairbanks today
that epitomizes a romance of gold
hunitng in the far north; the storj
of a man's determination to retrieve
from the wilderness the fortune hr
sacrificed In behalf of the territory
a talk of patient toil and abiding
faith and fortitude manifest in th:
face of almost unbelievable hard
ship and suffering.
Frank H. Waskey was Alaska's
first delegate to congress. He ha<
mede a fortune at Nome, and ex
pended more than $150,000 in four
months at the national capital in ar
effort to induce congress to pass r
bill granting territorial government
to Alaska. He went to Nome ii
1900 and by 1906 had acquired r
considerable fortune. At the time
Waskey left Nome for Washington
he had a number of claims on the
celebrated third beach line—the
richest deposit of placer ground
eyer. found in the entire north.
Congress, on threat 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 min. represent it—
Frank H. Waskey for the short tern
and Tom Cale, a Fairbanks pros
nActnr. for the lone term. Both
were democrats.
Waskey was an ardent believer ii:
territorial government, and to ob
tain the passage of a territorial bill
ho., spent money freely, but unsuc
"cessfully. The bill was introduced
but died in the committee. The del
egate returned to the north to fine
nis. beach line claims tied up in liti
gation, some of which has not yel
• been settled, the lawyers grc-W
rich, but WSskey had to take a roe'
in. the rubber band around his bank
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 tne 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 war
not heard of until four years later,
when he reached Good News Bay,
near the mouth of the Kuskokwim
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 was re
turning from Nome in a schooner
with the equipment when the vessel
capsized in a storm. For three days
and three nights Waskey and some
of his companions clung to the over
turned vessel and finally they wore
washed ashore on a big tide flat.
They began to walk towards the
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 nati e hut. All ot
the water they had found up to that
time was salty. Waskey figured
that the native must havo had a
quantity of fresh water or he would
not have built his home thero. In
the woods back of the nut they
found a spring.
For nearly tw'o months they lived
by gathering clams and sea food or
the beach. There was two feet ol
snow on the ground when they wore
th’em* Were se
verely frostbitten. They were taker
to St. Michael for treatment, and as
Boon as he was well Waskey disap
peared into the wildernoss again.
IIo was next heard of from a
creek near Andreafsky, where he
had discovered another paystroak.
Being a democrat, he named the
place Marshal] City in honor ot
Thomas Marshall, vice-president ol
tho United States, and it Is here
that lie has 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.
