The Times Will Do that Job of Printing RIGHT
GOLD OUTPUT
OF INTERIOR
PLACER CAMPS
An interesting estimate of the gold
output of the various placer camps
of the Interior of Alaska and review
of the mining and other activities of
that region is given by Volney Rich
mond, superintendent of the North
ei n Commercial Company, who is in
Dawson after having just completed
his annual tour of inspection of the
company’s posts in that large area.
Mr. Richmond says:
“From data gathered from various
reliable agencies in the different
camps, I estimate the placer gold
yield of each of the camps this season
will be approximately as follows:
Fairbanks .$800,00C
Iditarod . 750,000
Tolovana . 700,000
t
Kuskokwim . 250,000
Circle . 250,000
Ruby . 125,000
Koyukuk . 100,000
Marshall . 75,000
Hot Springs . 60,000
Ophir district . 50,000
Rampart ... 25,000
Chandlar . 20,000
“Fairbanks as usual heads in the
Interior Alaska gold camps. While
its yield has dropped off much com
pared to the earlier days of the camp,
Fairbanks is a producer of no little
consequence, and the fact it is so ex
tensively an individual camp means
the money is well distributed. Fair
banks is the center of activity in the
Tanana valley, and the camps of Tol
ovana and Hot Springs are within the
sixty-mile radius, which means they
may well be counted a portion of the
Fairbanks camp. The entire Tanana
valley has a population of 3,500, which
means it is one of the most active
centers in the North, and one of the
most progressive in the entire Yukon
basin.
“Nenana, which does not appear
among the gold producers is the gov
ernment railway town only forty
miles north of Fairbanks. The work
on the railway to connect Fairbanks
and Nenana has been progressing
steadily all season, and will be com
pleted by the end of November, this
year, when the two towns will have
steady rail communication. The road
way is built for a standard g^uge
road, and ties provided for that width
but for the present the line is to be
made narrow gauge, and so arranged
that the rails can be spread to stand
ard measurements when required.
“It possibly will be a couple of
years before the railway to connect
Fairbanks and Nenana with the Aba
kan coast will be completed, depend
ing, of course, largely on the appro
priation which congress will allow
each season. Autos now run out 310
miles from Fairbanks to Chitina, the
Interior terminus of the Copper River
River & Northwestern railway, which
connects on the coast end at Cordova.
The autos have been making the trip
over the road steadily during the
good weather this summer in two and
a half to three days. The wagon road
to Valdez is 60 miles longer and quite
mountainous, so is not used so much
as the Chitina route. A good many
tourists have been traveling the auto
route from Fairbanks to the coast
this summer. After the railway is
completed from Nenana to the coast
I look for a heavy tourist traffic down
the Yukon annually and out over the
railway. It will make a wonderful
trip with no repetition of seem w and
many new phases. Now is the time
for the North to begin to exploit this
great circle route, and keep the busi
ness coming by way of Dawson.
“The Koykuk camp did not de
velop the big proposition which some
thought earlier in the season would
be proved on the Betties river. It is
to be regretted the thing did not
prove out as big as some anticipated,
but continued prospecting may yet
prove there is a rich paystreak in the
country and mean the opening up of
a very active camp.
“In the Iditarod camp the chief out
fits at work this season comprise the
small Riley dredge on Otter and the
small Beaton and Donnelly dredge on
the same stream; Walsh and Ford,
1 open-cutting on Flat creek; and the
Upgrade association, who are using
the scraper system. The big Yukon
gold dredge on Flat is shut down,
and the future intentions respecting
it are unknown.
“At Marshall the situation is quiet
this season. The same may be said
in respect to Ruby. In the Circle dis
trict the Berry dredge and some other
operators are continuing operations
and making good showings.
“Tom Aiken, the veteran Klondike
operator, is carrying on big opera
I? , H & : ' ■ H
tions in the Kuskokwim and the Kan
tishna, and is one of the live wire
miners of the country. He has a
dredge producing steadily on Candle
creek sixteen miles from the Tacotna
river at the head of the Kuskokwim,
were Mrs. Aitken, formerly Miss Me
Henry of Dawson, has rendered great
assistance as local manager. Last
spring she mushed over the trail from
the coast to Candle and got the crews
together and started the dredge while
Tom attended to some of his business
on the coast. Tom is classed as a mill
ionaire, and the firm of Aitken &
Aitken, as it is styled, seems pros
pering in every respect.
“The latest Aitken exploit is to
open two silver properties. Tom cal
culates on getting 1,000 tons of silvet
lead ore this winter on Nixon Fork,
about thirty miles above Tacotna. He
will have to make a haul of twelve
miles over the snow to the river. He
has ordered 20,000. sacks through us
for the ore, and they are being deliv
ered by Captain Wallace Langly’s
steamer Tana.
“Aitken also has ordered 20,00C
sacks with which to deliver 1,000
tons of silver-lead ore from a prop
erty which he will work this winter
in the Kantishna country, not far
from Fairbanks. He will have to make
a thirty-mile haul to get the ore to
the steamer. Tom’s brother William,
who recently passed through Dawson
en route from the Outside., went to
join Tom.
“The Carlisle Packing & Canning
Company, which has a cannery oper
ating on the Yukon river near its
mouth, has been doing well, and it
is estimated the pack will be 50,000
cases for the season. The product is
being shipped out by way of St.
Michaels.”
