Shed Light on History
(Continued from Page 1.)
tictive workers in the Dawson lodge.
In the year 18% and before the ?
Klondike discovery startled the world,
the Grand Lodge followed the stain- ?
pede from Fortymile to Circle City, ?
Alaska. Then came the rush back up
the river to Dawsou in the fall of
and the Dowson lodge was start
ed. It was here that the Pioneers
purchased property and built their
hall. In 1898 the convention of the
Yukon Order of Pioneers was held at
Dawson and the Grand Lodge, books,
banner and funds were permanently
located here.
We have many members here now
who attendedthat convention and they
state, that so many of the delegates
from Circle City hud in the mean
time affiliated with the Dawson lodge
that they themselves voted to move
the Grand Lodge to Dawson and at
Dawson it has remained ever since 1
that conventiin.
Your statement that the original
books were carried to the golden
sands of Seward Peninsula is not so;
some of the books of Rampart Lodge
we have reason to believe got car
ried to Nome.
1 am enclosing to you a copy of the
first minute of the order, taken from
the books that are the original ones,
and in which we have the signatures
of every man who helped in this or
| ganization.
! The only defect that I cnn see in |
these minutes, is that the secretary,!
Frank Bowker, overlooked recording:
that he was duly elected permanent I
secretary.
We have also been invited to join
the Pioneers of Alaska, but our pride
in being the first pioneers in the val
ley of the Yukon with such trail blaz
ers for charter members as Jack (L.
N.) McQtiesten, Frank W. Hart. Ar
thur Harper. Rudolph Newman and A1
' Mavo makes any possibility entirely
out of the question.
We embrace the whole watershed
of the Yukon river, we are the last
of the pioneers on this continent; be
yond the Occident and the Orient
meets:
Permit me to be,
F. W. CLEMENTS,
Grand Secretary.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF
CIRCLE QUARTZ STRIKE
A four-inch 9treak of pay has been
found on the Homestake property on
Wolf creek that yields gold at the
rate of $1 a pound or $2,000 a ton, ac
cording to Thomas J. Rockwell, pro
propritor of the Igloo at Cleary City.
Mr. Rockwell is in the city on busi
ness. In speaking of the develop
ments at the Homestake property, Mr.
Rockwell stated that the find was en
countered in the cross-cut tunnel be
ing driven by Balzimer and associates
on the stringer encountered 315 feet
from the mouth of the main tunnel.
The ore is literally speckled with
coarse gold and yields liberally in
bucking-hoard tests. Numerous tests
have been made by Balzimer of the ore
taken from the four-inch streak in the
vein and all have averaged about $1
a pound.
The ledge has a width of about
12 inches. Eight inches will run in
the neighborhood of $40 to the ton, it
is reported. The work of development
is being hastened on the ledge. An
j other shipment is to be made to a cus
tom mill within a short time. The
last shipment averaged $77 to the ton.

RUBY CREEK MINE
WILL BE WORKED
T. M. Maulton, manager of the
Placer Gold Mining company, operat
ing on Ruby Creek, is in the city with
| a number of men on his way to in
crease the working force on their
property for the coming season. For
the past few seasons this property
along with several others in the Atlin
has been hampered by a shortage of
I water for hydraulicking, but with the
heavy snows of this winter it is be
lieved there will be plenty of water,
in which case the output of the dis
trict promises to break all records.?

IOW SILVER CREEK i
CAME TO BE STAKED
Thai there is 110 big bLuuipude to
le new diggings in the Teslln lake
auntry, discovered by Skookum Jiui;
rnt there is at present nothing to jus
fy one, and that the value of the
ew field from a commercial stand
oint cannot be determined until late
1 the summer, is the conclusion of
lan D. Garvoy, a special correspond
nt of the Times, who is at Atlin.
Garvoy is a mining mun of many (
ears' experience and knows every .
lacer and quartz mining camp in Al
ska and the Western country. The |
iifarmation he has gathered, und may ?
e Uiken as being as accurate as it is !
umanly possibly to make it, is as ;
ollows: |*
"The accurate facts about the al
eged strike made by Skookum Jim
he Indian, who shared with George
'armack the discoverey of the Daw
011 gold fields, as near as 1 can learn
hem from careful, observing men up
>n whose judgment there can bo no
tuostion, are these:
"Late last fall several Indians dis
:overed bright, coarse gold on an ex
losed rimrock of Silver creek. They
lecamo excited and hastened here to
liscover other natives who had had
lorne experience in the Klondike gold
fields. They were advised to go back
md stake the creek. This they did la
ter in the fall, making the trip over
the snow. In December forty of them
returned to Atlin and staked that
many claims.
"When it became known that so
many claims were staked and record
ed in a new district, the white minors
and prospectors in this and neighbor
ing camps gradually drifted into the
new camp and staked claims on near
by creeks without doing any pros
pecting. A few of them have tried
to sink to bedrock but, because of
water, they have not yet succeeded.
The ground is now covered with four
feet of snow.?Seattle Times.
