HISTORIC OLD
TOWN ON YUKON
TO BE SLUICED
The statement by Albert J. Peck,
passenger south on the Princess
Mary, that the famous old placer
townsite of Bonanza, better known
in the Dawson district as Grand
Forks, will soon be hydraulicked
and buried beneath thousands of tons
of gravel, recalls the early history of
that mining camp, says the Empire.
Discussing the work that is to be
done this coming summer, Mr. Peck
stated that scores of men will be
employed in the hydraulic work, and
regarding the old town of Grand
Forks, he said:
“The Forks surely has a history
seldom excelled in frontier romance.
The colorful days when the old Gold
Hill, and the Northern, and the
many other resorts, and big depart
ment stores and individual trading
establishments, and elaborately fur
nished cafes, theaters and other
tokens of intensive life contributed
to the setting, linger only in the
memory of the old timers. Millions
used to come out of the creeks and
hills, and money flowed like water
over bars and counters in the old
Bonanza town.
Now the only hostelry of note
remaining in the town is the North
ern where the genial and indomit
able Luke Carlson, of the vintage of
sourdough days, remains riveted to
the helm, happily assisted this win
ter by Miss Nellie Razee, who is
charge d’affairs de cuisine.
“The famous old Gold Hill hotel,
which was erected in the rush days
at tremendous cost, was torn down
over a year ago, and the old logs
which could tell tales of old time
high rollers and altitudinous stacks
of chips of red, blue and white, and
the changing luck of argonauts at
blackjack, poker and the spinning
wheel, were tossed into the stove to
keep the last of the Mohicans safe
against the attacks of 60 degrees
below zero weather last winter.
“Old timers who still cling to the
lure and garner the grains of gold
from some of the best remaining in
dividual claims in the district never
tire of recalling the spirit who once
contributed to the gayety of life in
Grand Forks. They recite the stories
of the picturesque life of Harry
Bridges' cafe, of the roaring games
at Max Endleman's and Sylvester's,
and the entertaining ways of Frank
Phiscator, Charley Anderson, Big
Alex, and the hundreds of other
characters of the day. The big ho
tel erected by the Countess Corbon
neau, the several flourishing
cliaurehes, the crimson lights along
the hill are gone, and the only big
buildings remaining are the North
ern the old Kearney building which I
have occupied; the Clindinin build
ing, and Wright’s building, where
Charley Bell had his headquarters in
the distribution of the Dawson News
to every man in every cabin. A few
scattering shacks complete the clos
ing scene.
"Boys still mining on the creeks
in an individual way, however, have
good pay, and are getting out dumps
very much worth while, and deserve
every credit. Their perseverance and
their faith is constantly rewarded.”
FOREST LOSSES KEPT
DOWN BY VIGILANCE
MISSOULA, Mont., Feb. 23 (by As
sociated Press).—'Montana forest fire
losses in 1920 totalled $79,602, as
compared with $1,556,S22 in 1919, ac
cording to a report issued by the
forestry service headquarters here.
In 1919 the fire losses were the worst
in the history of the state and in
creased vigilance kept the 1920 losses
to a minimum. There were 908 fires
reported in 1920 in Montana forests.
TRAVELERS LEAVE
GEMS IN AUTOMOBILE
BUTTE, Mont., Feb. 23 (by Associ
ated Press).—-A package containing
gems valued at $12,500 was received
by the police here from the tonneau
of a taxicab where it had been left
by a man and woman traveler. The
driver of the cab declared he had
taken many passengers about town
after the couple who left the gems
in the machine had been driven from
the railroad depot to a hotel.
