Circle Ho: Spring
Editor Nenar.a News:
The Circle Hot Springs is situated
on the south side of the Crooked
Creek Valley, some thirty miles
southwest of Circle, and was first
discovered by Mr. Groats, in March,
1 $ 97. Previous to that time, it was
known to the Circle Ind:ar,s. who
had their headquarters at Medicine
Lake, only three miles away., but
was never used by them.
The miners ot the district, follow
the discovery of the springs, shovel
ed a hole in :be sand and placed a
tent over it. and thus it remained
until 1S99, when Robinson and
Monohon put up a log cabin. In]
1900, Monohon homesteaded the'
place and made a precarious exist
ence from the patronage of the boys
who were rocking on Birch Creek,
and other patrons who used the
water, until the spring of 1909. when
ine relinquished his homestead and
:t was again homesteaded by F. M.
Leach, for fanning purposes
The farm was quickly developed
to a point where it supplied practi-]
tally all of the vegetables used in'
tne Circle district and, at present,
;s producing, in addition to grain
hay for horse= and cattle, between'
25 and 30 tons of vegetables, some
of which are shipped to Fort Yukon ;
and other river points. The further
extension of this farm in limited on
ly by lack of cheap transportation:
to the river.
But the very beneficial results ex
perienced by those who had used the
water made an ever increasing de
mand for accommodations at the
Springs. In 1912, Mr?. 3. E. Gamer,
who had received wonderful relief
through the use of the water, leased
the hotel privileges from Mr. Leach.
But when the conditions brought on
by the war all but depopulated this
part of Alaska, together with the in
accessibility of the place from the
centers of population, she was com
pelled to relinquish her lease. Since
then, up to September l, 1921. the
resort has been carried on merely as
an adjunct to the farm
In 1915 the Geological Department
made a complete survey of all me
dicinal springs in Alaska and the
analysis made by that department re
vealed the fact that, aside from the
salt springs, the Circle Hot Springs
were the most highly mineralized of
all the medicinal springs, in the Ter
ritory. and also carried the largest
flow of water.
The demands for accommodations
grew apace until the spring of 1921.
when the Alaska Road Commission
determined to build a road from
Chatanika to Circle which would
pass within nine miles of the Springs
it became apparent that extensive
facilities for accommodations would
be demanded. At this time the hotel
privileges were leased to Otto Meyer
an old time sourdough cook, for a
period of five years.
The accommodations at pi^sent
are comfortable and well suited to
assist in the recovery of the health
who use them. There are five com
modious, well-furnished buildings de
voted to sleeping quarters. Also a
large, well-equipped din'ng room,
kitchen, pantry, crl'ar and warehous
es. There is a bathhouse containing
pool baths, shower and mud baths;
also a large sweat bouse. There are
also extensive farm buildings for
horses, cattle and chickens.
The accommodations are ample
for 20 people and there are 17
guests here now from all parts of
Interior Alaska.
The Miners’ Library Association
empowered Mr. Leach to collect all
library books and keep them for the
use of all the people of this district.
This library has been added to un
til it now contains over 800 volumes
' which, with abundant current period
icals, papers and magazines, furnish
‘ plenty of the best reading, and
the Radio station at Circle, regular- i
ly telephones the news bulletins to
the Springs, so that patrons are as
much in touch with the world here
! as any place in Alaska.
Preparations are now being made
, to extend the facilities to aceommo- ;
j date the public to the extent the
patronage will warrant. With the
■ completion of the Chatanika-Circle
road, this, the greatest of Alaska’s
• medicinal springs which, in analysis
. of the water, surpasses some of the
world's most famous resorts, be
i comes accessible to her people and
will alleviate their ills and infirm
1 ities for all time to come—one of
Alaska’s greatest resources.

KANT1SHNA MAIL MAN HERE;
TO LEAVE TOWN SATURDAY
—
George Duncan, who has the win- .■
. ter contract to carry the mails to1
and from the Kantishna region, ar
rived in town yesterday afternoon 1
: from Eureka, coming in by way of
| Glacier and the shortcut trail.
; He reports that the trail was
' drifted over badly and for most of
; the way it had to be broken on
J snow shoes, in consequence of which
he was a day late arriving here.
This distance ordinarily is covered
i in a little over four days time but
■ on this occasion it took him six
days to make the journey.
It had been snowing rather heavi
ly in the Kantishna country, 14
! iaches of the beautiful being report
| ed as having fallen at Eureka and
that neighborhood.
Mr. Duncan announces that he
will start on the return trip to the
Kantishna on Saturday, going by j
train to Kobi. Letters for that dis- j
trict must be in the postoffice by'
ten o’clock Saturday morning.
BOOKKEEPING
i
—as the word implies, like a,
trade or profession, •■omes under'
two classifications, that of skilled j
and unskilled. An ur.. killed mecnanic!
is nowhere near as dangerous and
expensive as an unskilled or jncorr.- j
petent bookkeeper. There are those •
who pose as such whose experience!
is based only upon theory— a theo- ;
retical knowledge of bookkeeping!
might enable one to bluff the way j
through to a certain period, but it
;s a ten to one bet that eventually j
they will come to realize they have
only been kidding themselves and |
'their employers in presuming that j
they were what the word implies.
A skilled bookkeeper has the ad
vantage over the unskilled inasmuch
as he is possessed not only of the
theoretical asset but also of that
keener knowledge that is only ob
tained through practical experience
and long training.
Now, Mr. Business Man, if you
are keeping your own books, stop
just a minute and make an analysis
of your asset on this vital question
and determine which one of these
j classifications you come under. If
; your summary shows that you come
1 under the latter, you are working
! an injustice, not only to yourself,
( but your business as well.
You no doubt carry Fire Insur
i ance; do you know that the man
who can produce regular and syste
matically-kept books in the case of
| fire has a great advantage over the
one who is unable to make such a
showing when it comes to a settle
Iment with the Insurance Company?
Can you afford to continue along
in this unsatisfactory, sleep-disturb
I ing manner when you can relieve
yourself of all this trouble and wor
ry by having your accounts kept in
a systematic manner for a mere
trifle? Think it over, and I am safe
in saying that you will be anxious
to have me outline my plans to you.
