i STRIKE ON MASTODON AND
BOOB OOOO
_
A letter received in the last mail
from Iditarod by a Jnnenii man, says
that the recent strike reported from
Mastodon and Hook creeks is a genu
ine one. and that Huby, Iditarod, Flat,
Ophir and other Interior camps arc
practically deserted as a result of the
stampede.
The letter was dated April 17th and
says: "The strike reported within
the past two weeks was made on a
tributary of Tolstoi river, 30 miles
northwest of Ophir. The strike was
made on Mastodon and Boob creeks,
both of which are tributaries of the
Tolstoi river, and the dirt runs about
50 cents to the pan.
"The reports have been corrobor
ated and a stampede is on. The
stampede lius practically depopulated
Iditarod, Flat. Ophlr. Tukotns, Crip
ple and the Ruby districts. A new
townslte has been laid off at the
month of Mastodon creek, and Inis
been named Copper. It is estimated
that within two months there will ho
between 1,500 and 2.000 people in he
distrlet. If the strike proves to he
permanent and good pay is developed
the inhabitants will apply at once for
the establishment of a postoffiee at
this point.”—Juneau Knipire.
