SCOTT LIKES WHITEHORSE
GOING OUTSIDE FOR EYES
Writing to friends in N'enana |
from Whitehorse, under date of
December IS, John H. Scott, former
local agent of the White Pass and
Yukon Route, states that his eyes
have gone back on him and that he
is going Outside, with Mrs. Scott
and John. Jr,, to see a specialist.
“My right eye got so bad in one
week,” he writes,” that I could not
see except in a haze, but at that I
am not worried for 1 know full
well it will be all Jake as soon
as I can get the right man to fit,
me and pull out a flock of no good ,
teeth. Am taking Mrs. Scott and 1
John along so we will see the home :
folks again. We are all in fine i
health here, and fat and saucy. We :
like this place too, for it has a real
good climate. So far we have had |
about 10 days in the 30s, and the
balance of the time not like winter!
at all—just fine. And it is so near
the Outside we can get many things !
not obtainable in the Interior, so!
it seems like a different kind of
living, although they have practical-1
ly no gardens here, which is bad.
The summers are too cold, with,
many frosts. There is certainly a1
fine bunch of people here, good j
clean people, with no past to re- j
gret and no present to dodge, and
they have lots of good times to
gether—in fact, they have too many
blamed things for old stiffs like me I
to want to go to them. The whole j
town seems to go. and they have!
practically no such thing as a
clique, for all look largely alike.
“There is a small lodge here
(Masonic) and they have a fine,
bunch of men.
“We rented a dandy house, with j
furnace, and its a clean town so
it is not hard for the wife to keep j
house. Keeps me pegging on the
wood pile, as a furnace seems to i
take more wood* than stoves, but it 1
has the comfort. There are several;
fireplaces here, which must eat up
a lot of wood, but they are nice.'
There are some thirty real honest
to-goodness homes here, which are j
furnished and fixed up nicer inside
than any down below. They build
here for a real home and many of
them stay a loVig time with the
intention, it seems of being planted j
here. I
“Had several trips on the river,
after we got here, to Dawson, I
Mayo. Adin and Skagway. There
is nothing startling in this paid of'
the country. They sure have lots of
chances, though and no doubt will
do something in time. Were it on
the American side, it would go a
head much faster.
“From men I know, who are
just out from Mayo, I learn there
are some 160 men working in
the mines. They are hauling with
teams and a caterpillar and landing
about 25 tons daily of ore. Under
stand they are to get another trac
tor in over the ice, and when the
small trucks go up to the mines
with freight they load up with ore.
They expect to land about seven
thousand tons or more for shipment
out next summer, with a good
chance for a total of eight thous-.
and tons. They expect to put in
a plant for concentrating next sum
mer.
“They are down to the 300-foot
level in the Treadwell workings and
it is richer than ever. The Guggs
are down 400 feet and are in bet
iter ore. The Guggs are about 1.600

feet higher up the hill than the
Treadwell people, which makes it
look as if they would have to go
1 down to the same levels, at least.
Several new prospects have opened
up and it really looks like a camp,
although no one, so far. calls it a
| certainty. But. at least, it is the
; best showing so far the best showing
of any place in the Interior, but it
will be some time before anything
is done in the wa£ of permanent
plans for working the ore.

far more than I expected. And
l they work about 500 men in the
Dawson mines yet—not so worse
' for the old camp. It sure makes
a fellow have the blues, though, to
see the abandoned buildings in
Dawson and Skagway.
J “There is certainly a big
tourist travel up here in the sum
mer, just all that the boats can
handle and, at the same time, take
care of the freight. Next year they
are going to have all they care to
take care of and so far I have never
met one who did not speak highly
of the trip. When they get boat
to the Westward, so they can de
pend on a berth, there will be a
great many come to Nenana and
that country, for the number coming
North is limited only by the boats
they have. It is not a matter of
getting the people to come at all,
but when any boat line thinks they
can get the travel, without a regu
lar schedule, just like a tram,
they are wrong. The Eeastem people
are not like we are out here. They
want a schedule and to know just
how many nickels it is going to
cost.”
