CIRCLE SUFFER!
OF ITER
In his report of general condition?
Deputy Marshal Chester T. Spencer
of Circle, says that many mining out
fits in that district were forced to shu
down early in the summer, owing ti
the shortage of water. His report
which Is of general Interest, follows
“Before the end of September mos
of the mining plants were closed dowi
on account of lack of water. Undoubt
edly this summer was drier than ii
many years at the head of Dead wood
Mastodon and Eagle creeks, when
most of the hydraulic plants depen<
on getting the supply of water witl
which to operate. No strikes of im
portance have been made during thi
summer and very little prospecting ii
being done at present.
“A great many people of the cam|
have gone outside for the winter. One
Charles Rogers, has gone to offer hli
services to the aviation corps. Mr
Rogers placed his application with thi
war department early last spring ant
was recently ordered to repogj to thi
nearest recruiting station. So far. Mr
Rogers has been the first volunteei
from this district; but If one was t<
judge by the attitude and crlticlsmi
of some of our respected citizens be
fore war was declared one would bi
led to believe that Circle distric
would furnish at least half a dozei
able and willing volunteers.
“High prices, the eight hour law am
. the poor season this year has workei
. a hardship on most of the miners wtv
intend to operate next year, but ii
spite of all handicaps there will be tw
hydraulic plants installed for the core
ing season. F. L. Jewett and J. P. Ar
derson are opening up on Deadwooi
creek, also Frank Hines. This make
ten hydraulic plants in operation, a
follows: A. A. Sather, Switch creek
Jewett and Anderson, Deadwood
| Sleek, Dead wood; Dine*, Deadwood;
(Clarence Berry, Kagle creek; Michael
de Mlchill, upper Mastodon; Kelly,
Miller creek; Moss, Independence
creek; J. p. Anderson, two plants on
Mastodon creek.
“The trails of the district are 19
poor shape, although some improve
ments were made during the summer
in the way of repairs. The Alaska
road commission allotted $4,500 to
the Circle-Miller House road, which
, was not anyway near enough to fix the
, road so as to haul any great amount
- of tonnage. The territorial commis-.
t Bion allotted $1,000 to repair the road
> from Central roadhouse to the Dead
, wood postoffice, a distance of nine
miles. Mr. F. M. Leach is in charge
of the work, and he is doing good
work and making every dollar count.
"The health of the community Is
good, with the exception of the In
dians, who have been suffering from
skin eruptions. One death was report
ed during the month — the nine !
months' old baby of Mr. and Mrs. C. A.
Jones, of Circle.
“The gardens of the district fell
short of the usual yield, with the ex
ception of the Circle Hot Springs,
where weather conditions do not mat
ter, as the gardens there are heated
from hot water running through con
duits, front the hot springs, at inter
vals of about 20 feet, through the gar
dens. However, the oat crop seems
better this year than in other years.
“The caribou run thiB year was un
usually large. Luckily the Indians are
well supplied with meat, as there were
practically no salmon and without
meat and salmon the Indians would
very likely have a hard time this win*
- ter. Fur signs are scarce. Rabbits
i have entirely disappeared and trap
pers predict a scarcity of lynx as a
[ result of the scarcity of rabbits. How
I ever, mice are plentiful, and this will,
> to some extent, make up for the short- '
i age of rabbits, as lynx food.
> "Wolves are very numerous; they
• are, possibly, following the large
herds of caribou.
I “The district is peacefully Inclined,
i There were no cases before the com
i jinissioner's court during the month.”
